What of CP3, Booker are they also bad midrange shooters. You keep bringing up this argument as if we all don't know if we judge by modern standards the likes of Kobe, Tmac and Ai so called midrange masters will be called inefficient shooters. The only wing player in history who shot the midrange at an efficient percentage is MJ and that is the whole list

Wetin and what are you on about? CP3 did not have a bad shooting game he just took few shots. Booker was 6 of 13. He didn't shoot poorly either

Kobe, T-Mac and AI were guys that took contested tough midrange shots and teams focused their defense on those guys. Why is your argument all over the place?

My point is there is no reason today's players in some of these teams cannot have a guy or couple of guys that could knock down 10 to 15 footers like a Pau Gasol, Dirk, Carlos Boozer, Duncan,KG, Luis Scola, Okur, Turkoglu, Tony Parker, Steve Nash those type of guys. Players who aren't completely useless outside that 10-18ft range for the most part.

The owner is strip club paddies with Harden. The way Im seeing it, Harden is looking for this to be his team and he has the owners backing. He also has the GM's backing. I think Embiid senses this as well - he already offered up himself for trade during his after game interview.

Lmao imagine building a team around Harden at this point. Some of these billionaires you sometimes wonder how they got rich. I won't keep this roster past next season. Harden would be 34 and Harris is already a non factor. If they trade Embiid lol.

Speaks to Embiid too that he would want a guy that quit on his team twice. These players and teams fit themselves last last if you look at it well well

Roland17:
Meanwhile Butler no get joy or forgiving spirit.. lol..

I feel his pain. As an organization there's nothing worse than maxing the wrong guys. I mean nobody is even talking about Tobias Harris despite being a non factor that says it all. He's not even getting slander to show you nobody expects max level performance from him

Khanben:
Oga the suns yesterday shot nearly the same percentage from midrange yesterday in their own loss. MIKAL alone at one point was 0-6 or 1-7, what is the difference.

PS: The bucks went 7-29 from 3 for a total of 21 pts. The Suns yesterday went 10-33 from midrange for a total of 20pts.

No shit Captain obvious. I'm saying there's an overall lack of proficiency in the midrange game. Mikal Bridges is primarily a slasher or he shoots 3's. Not a guy with a reliable 10-15 footer. He's shooting 27% from there this postseason.

You're making my argument for me.

Also when I talk e go be like say I be one of those grumpy old men. The general lack of midrange game was on full display again this time for the Bucks. Nobody that has a reliable 12 to 15 footer anymore. It's either 3 or die.

etidy:
The fact that bucks would have been hosting game 7 if they didn't do load management in the last game of the regular season is crazy yikes!.. Regular season matters

The Job Ime Udoka has done with this Celtics team is incredible. The Celtics just look different this season. They have the championship swagger and composure.
When Celtics start winning back to back titles some detractors would want to give the credit to brad Stevens like they did with mark Jackson.

See ehn. This is why you don't run from the grind sometimes. Bucks tanked their last game Celtics went out of their way to win their last game and now they reap the benefits.

The margin of error for the Bucks with their lack of 3pt shooting is just too slim.

Doesn't help too that Mike Budenholzer is having a complete coaching disaster class. There is no coherent explanation for Grayson Allen to be getting 20+ minutes a night

Let's see if the Bucks can somehow repeat what they did last year

This is ridiculously poor 3pt shooting by the Bucks. 6 3's in your own building. 6?

Jayson Tatum. Meine Gott!!

And this stupid Bucks coach. You left Connaughton on the bench and kept playing Grayson Allen

birdman:
Nah. There were rumors Harden was trying to throw games to get Doc Rivers fired. So that he could get D'antoni to coach the sixers. I thought this was rubbish conspiracy theory. After last night, I realize Harden low key sabotaged his own team. And everyone on the team knows it. That is why even the rookie Maxey was cussing him out.

Simmons is the guy went after his paddy's wife (micahel blackson), and refused to stop even while his friend and wife were like, nah, bro this is wrong. It was obvious this is a down low snake brother.

So in this case, Embiid has a point on these 2 guys. I have never seen him go after anyone else the same way.

If the Sixers have any goddamn sense they would move Harden, Harris and offload Morey as quickly as they can. Certain players just aren't built for that grind. Harden can jump from team to team but when it's really on the line he can't be your first or your second option on a championship contending team and thus it would be foolishness to retain him on that salary

Bucks are 4 of 20 from 3

How is this even possible?

The Bucks lowkey miss PJ Tucker considering what he's doing with the Heat rn. This Grayson Allen was just doing cardio on the court

Lol. This is completely shocking by the Bucks. There is no excuse for a modern NBA team to be this bad at shooting 3's. How are you 3/18 from 3 at home in a closeout game?

Credit to Celtics. They keep fighting. This game will be tough for everyone involved

Giannis playing bully ball

Wow. Celtics cannot miss. 3 after 3

raumdeuter:
I will let him run down his contract and leave for free, 40M doesnt mean a thing but allows us time to scout a succesor

That's the smart play. We're going to have to do a mini rebuild of sorts as this team is getting stale. I want to see how Gravenberch and Mazraoui fit in if we're truly getting them

Skrrrrrrr:
All the Teams are playing like ass.
Just look at the suns. I don't even know what the warriors matchup is gonna look like, I expected them to finish off Dallas in 6 games at least. The Grizzlies are a much better Team than Dallas.
The warriors or suns are gonna get exposed by the Celtics or Bucks if they do not improve.

Chris Paul aging before our very eyes

Brick Ross and Ben Simmons no difference. Certain guys just don't have it either as a batman or a Robin

Embiid is also going to somehow escape slander even though he shot less than 30%

If there was ever a time to spam 3s it's now Brick Ross

Be like Lewandowski wan comot true true. I don't even know if it's better we ship him off or let his contract wind down.

I don't think €40m that's been touted as his sale price gets you anything today. I'd rather we have an MJ Last Dance scenario and move from there because I don't see any replacements out there that the board are targeting. We can at least use next season to start scouting for his replacement

The Grizzlies need to use their size advantage to the fullest. This is not a 3pt shooting contest. You have the edge in size and physicality. If you don't use it you only have yourself to blame

And going back to the Bucks and Celtics. I like that Giannis deliberately took the game to Horford and made sure that even when Horford got the better of him same game he kept coming. This is what makes Giannis so special. He has no fear of failure. That's a very good and rare intangible to have in a great player. It's not really what you can coach.

benji93:
Some would have you believe coaching doesn't matter. Kerr just has the Luxury of Curry, Klay and Draymond. . There's another half sha. Se Sacramento o ra gbese bayi.

Was going to say. Like Mike Brown was a good coach 10 years ago. The Kings really cursed bro

They made Tyus Jones look like Magic Johnson could it be true true that this team is better without Ja Morant? Cause if not for Dillon Brooks this series could have been 2-1 in favor of Warriors

A40:
Bucks have lost this game

Wow. Looks like I jinxed it

Holiday. Wow!!

This is pure agony if you're a Bucks fan. Couldn't rebound. And couldn't seal the deal after getting within two possessions

Jaylen Brown can go on those one man 8-0 runs that can turn a 2pt deficit to a 10 point deficit. Frustrating for the opponent

Bucks have lost this game

Ibime:
Why are Vardy and Rooney allowing their wives to wash each others dirty laundry in public. Rooney is even testifying.

Don't these men control their households?

In this modern society is that even possible?

Much better by Milwaukee. Put these guys in foul trouble. We want a nail biting finish

And guys like Portis, Allen, Connaughton. Y'all can't give Giannis 1 good game? Just one

That's more like it Giannis. Stop settling for jumpers. A 36 year old man shouldn't be checking you blad
