Those who watched the USA vs Spain game, how was the Usman Garuba kid from real Madrid. Just found out his from Nigerian descent.

I saw him during the game and wondered if he was of Nigerian descent. I thought he played well and was quite aggressive with rebounding on both ends, I think he had more than 6 rebounds.
He also moved his feet well and did well defending #slimreaper and other perimeter players. He did attempt two three point shots at one point but I don’t think that’s his game if he wants to be a stretch 5.

No doubt. Lebron and Kawhi's names will be thrown in there too.

Just last year, Giannis was being flogged in the media. Couldnt make free throws, no jumpshots, cant read double teams and they lost disgracefully in the first round I think. One year later the cat has a serviceable fadeaway, makes his free throws and is unguardable. All this without any superstar additions - just decent PG and good defensive minded PF. He definitely will make a lot of people look bad.

You can always argue that without injuries, the super teams like Clippers, Lakers and Nets would have been in the finals, but that is why we play the games
Yep. He's a very fine basketballer, forget his shortcomings (which are very forgivable compared to what he does well). You don't win MVP ×2 and DPOY if you can't ball. Giannis could easily have teamed up with a guy like Luka in Dallas and won multiple championships. But he stayed, and everything fell in place for him to be in a position to win a championship. And trust me he's not done in this league. He'll win more, whether with the Bucks or elsewhere.

Holiday I no fit defend you tonight o. You are on your own lol

Bucks are losing the mental edge in Q2
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 3:14am On Jul 21, 2021
CP3 and KD always making me fall in love with the midrange...
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:18am On Jul 21, 2021
Outside of shooting some ill advised 3’s, Giannis has been a beast. Maybe this is the Giannis I have always wanted to see (play around your strength, leave all the other stuff). He is dominating the boards and that affected the Suns in the 1st Q. He is definitely playing for his career here tonight! Khris is a slow starter, it won’t shock me if he comes alive in the 4th. The Suns have continued with their late game 5 adjustment on Jrue and that is replicating size on Jrue with Bridges/Jay. The Bucks need some else not named Giannis to come alive offensively.

Took him a while but CP3 seems to have gotten his rhythm. He absolutely needs to cut the TO for the Suns to stand any chance of taking this back to Phoenix. They are playing with a better pace and not making shots deep into the shot clock. The Suns have to keep the pace up and run early. The Suns have to put pressure on Khris Middleton and cause him to play some defense with his 3 fouls.

This is far from over.. but I am loving it..

This Jrue Holiday na big scam. Smh angry
Re: The NBA Begins by DeeMain(m): 3:39am On Jul 21, 2021
It's a game of runs. Let's see how it pans out. Loving it.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:54am On Jul 21, 2021
Giannis is locked! I don’t see the Suns stopping or slowing him down! He has enough to reel these Bucks to the title tonight.

Mk one of jrue or Kris step up abeg. They really need to. Haba
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:07am On Jul 21, 2021
Really Enjoying this game thus far. Really fascinating encounter though I'd hate to be either a Suns or Bucks supporter because my heart won't be able to take it cheesy grin. Unless one of Khris or Jrue steps it up, this series looks like it's going to a Game 7.

Bobby should get more minutes this 4th quarter, he's really locked in.

Giannis vs CP3 so far
Re: The NBA Begins by Kilishihunter: 4:20am On Jul 21, 2021
If the bucks apart from Giannis somehow let this slip, then they only have themselves to blame,
