Roland17:


Na na na!! Allowing your primary scorer bring the ball up is more effective when the player is flexible in offense. I mean, the player has a lot of tricks in his bags but that is not the case with Giannis throughout this series. The player can dribble to create space, take high % jumpers, good perimeter shooting and importantly control the pace and tempo of the game in that area of the court. The Raptors have basically improved on what the Celtics did in game one against them. Giannis has only one move and once the wall is formed with players who have length and can move their feet he is lost or commits an offensive foul.

In comparison to walking the ball up to a wall, the low post for a player with such power attracts the double team deep under the rim which is to Giannis advantage because the kick out will be more open and if he chooses to go up he would be closer to the rim. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying walking the ball is not an option no, but in this series it has not worked and the refs are not buying his attempts to sell the foul.

Also, when he walks the ball, it clogs and affects the spacing of the guards. Middleton will be exceptional if he walked the ball. It worked in the previous series but it is obvious this is not an option because of the length of the Raptors.

well, lets see what adjustments Bucks make for next game. should be interesting

ZenHallewell:


Lebron thrives in dysfunction and chaos. He did it with the Cavs, he'll do it here again.

No ring for lebron next season. If he likes, let him hire the avengers

He is no the true goat......Ok maybe he is, the goat inside peppersoup

Hahaha very funny. its not a coincidence some guy called "darkelf" shows up on this thread yesterday after i made you cry and happens to type like you. Stop using burner accounts.

There is nothing in this life. Live and let live, love others and always be grateful.

Hi, Karnthornheart, it's me your friend. It ain't smoosh

Giannis should be happy hes not making the finals cause if he loses, apparently according to some clowns its better to get swept in the first round than to go to the finals and lose.

Contact is not the same as "Joining for sure", we will see how it plays out.

I told you, you lot are going to quake and tremble in fear as the king destroys all that you hold dear. Beg for mercy!

I don't agree with Kellerman saying Harden doesn't deserve to be on all NBA first team. In fact, I think Harden should be MVP too.

Looool

Westbrick and AD to the Lakers.

Jimmy Buckets and Kyrie Handles to the Lakers.

Leeemmaaaooo

You have observed the childish hypocrisy right?

Oh Kyrien is not teaming up with KD and AD in NY again?

Hahaha.

Only journalists will spread news. Only them will debunk the same news. Only them will still be correct in either directions.

They probably have Zenhalwell in mind. Giving him fake hope. At least something to hold on to since Lebron isn't in the playoffs.

Hardetayour:
Westbrick and AD to the Lakers.

Jimmy Buckets and Kyrie Handles to the Lakers.

Leeemmaaaooo

Truly hilarious indeed

Look at them; quivering in fear and its not evening judgement. This prophesy will be fulfilled. The GSW are winning their last ring this year. Its over! The showtime lakers are back!!

ZenHallewell:

And if KD had done that then you can claim its the same thing as lebron. KD ran and joined the team he cant beat, thats like saying lebron joined the celtics.

You're justifying one sin and vilifying the other. I don't subscribe to that. They both took the shortcuts to success.

Three in their prime stars teamed up to beat up a bunch of old men.

ZenHallewell:

LOL Lebron gave 7 years of his career to cleveland with no signs of his owner giving him a good team. Not even a pippen to mentor like jordan had. Why should he stay? So he can end up ringless? Naah, leaving worked out for him, now hes the undisputed GOAT!!!

No one cares if he spent 100 years in Cleveland. Dirk and Hakeem labored for over a decade before winning a ring with terrible rosters. They didn't take the easy way out by running to form a super team. The GOAT ran into the juggernaut Celtics and Pistons took his lumps and faced them till he beat them.

That is what true GOATs do not paper goats that were anointed by Jimmy from Instagram and Mufu from Agbado Ijaiye.

This is why 20 years later 73% of the league recognize the true GOAT

ZenHallewell:

Okay, let say you're right, the celtics were a non factor in the east. Do you think any of their teams as they were constructed, the cavs, raptors or heat wouldve beaten the 2011 bulls? I told you if it werent the celtics it would have been another well run team. They took the guess work out of it!

The 2011 Bulls were led by Derrick Rose. LeNomad took two HOFers to face a team whose best player was 6ft

The Celtics were aging and the Cavs had the best record in the league in 2010. He could have stayed and faced the Celtics again, instead LeNomad pussied out the last two games of that series going 8/21 and 3/14 in the Final two games. Ran to Miami to get help then started flexing muscles. Leeemaoo

ZenHallewell:

LOOL! No he didnt, he played below standards but he still had 17 7 7 or something like that, Kobe won a ring with worse averages.

Kobe was not the best player on his team back then. He was 21

ZenHallewell:

Mike Miller, i agree but not Rashad. Besides, thats not what the debate was, it was over the word "legendary spot up shooters".

Stop being pedantic. Long story short the Heat had a ton of shooters

ZenHallewell:
BTW Wheres A40 and the rest of the people declaring a fatwa on Bledsoe?

He scored a meager 16points. They still lost. Big whoopty whoop

Khanben:


Please apart from Spurs name one small market team that has won the NBA in the past 30years. The spurs only won because they are extraordinarily well run and lucked in on Tin Duncan.
Lebron was drafted by a team who for 7 years, the best players they could put with him was Mo Williams and an old Shaq.
Nobody blames KD for leaving OKC, the issue people have is of him going to GSW. IMO if not for his sensitivity this will not be a huge topic

There are numerous players that stuck with their team. It's not about big market or small market. Everyone cannot play for a big market and a big market does not guarantee anything. LeNomad went for the surest bet which was teaming up with not one but two all-stars in their prime.

Nobody in the league had done that before. Hakeem, Barkley and Clyde were old when they did theirs, I won't even talk about the Grandpa Lakers in 04, and then the Celtics Big three who were on the wrong side of 30. LeNomad on the other hand handpicked two of the best 5 players from arguably the best draft class since 84. Paired them on one team and people are trying to act like they were playing fair.

My only issue with KD is that he even gives a damn about anyone's opinion. He needs to grow a pair. He should have known people would be salty

Eruditor:


You have observed the childish hypocrisy right?

Me I don't have power again to reply them like our Oga A40. I'm just sitting and watching

steady986:

You're just changing the argument to run away from the original topic. Even though Bosh and Wade were averaging those high numbers, they hadn't gone to the Eastern conference finals let alone the NBA finals in the last 4 years before LeBron joined them. Whereas KG and PP, even though they averaged those low numbers, they had gone to the NBA finals in 2 of the previous 4 years. If LeBron chose to join the Celtics then, that would have been considered a weak move. But no, he decided to join the team who needed help.

Why would LeNomad join an old Celtics team?As a 26 year old where is the sense in joining teammates 7+ years your senior? Number 1 they could not afford him. The Cap situation back then did not allow it.

Secondly. Bosh and Wade not getting to the Finals was the function of being in average to mediocre teams. KG, PP and Allen had gone to 0 NBA Finals before they teamed up. Yet we knew that getting there was a foregone conclusion the day they joined

Now for you to sit and tell me that three all-time greats would form a team and not have an unfairly enhanced chance of getting to an NBA Finals is being intellectually dishonest never mind 3 young players just reaching their primes.

ZenHallewell:

And when the boston celtics were put together averaging

Allen 26 4 5

Pierce 25 6 4

Garnett 22 13 4 2

Who were they up against in the east Baby Lebron or the fa.ggot of orlando?

That's the friggin point!!!!

Nobody was fighting fair!! Now you understand

ZenHallewell:

One legged wade was most definitely not in his athletic prime. What was the expectation for amare melo and billups mr long tooth? They were swept by these old men you are making fun of. or more recently okc? since expectation is what translates to reality! In your words super teams built inorganically bomb all the time, they dont guarantee sh-t!

One-legged Wade outplayed LeNomad in an NBA Finals. Put some respeck on his name

Chauncey Billups was 34 when he joined the Knicks. Leeemaoo. Try another example

Nobody expected dominance from Melo and Amare alone. We saw how injuries wrecked Amare and he was cooked after that season

ZenHallewell:

The heat made the playoffs before lebron, guess who gentleman swept them? These "harmless" old men you keep yapping about.

Because Wade's second best player was Mario goddamn Chalmers

ZenHallewell:

If in your words a team with

Carter 25 6 5

Kidd 13 9 8

Jefferson 16 4 3

are underdogs against a lebron team with larry hughes as his second best player then those averages you wasted your time digging dont mean jack sh-t!

Jefferson not an all-star. Kidd was 34

ZenHallewell:

Mr long tooth, Kevin love was playing way below expectations, playing horribly. There were talks of trading him. I guess your tooth isnt that long after all.

Kevin Love was a matchup issue with Draymond Green. He played well the entire season so don't come here and rubbish his contributions. He made arguably the most important stop despite having an average series by his standards. If 16-10 with his usage is playing horribly then I wonder who is playing exceptionally

ipledge10:
I’m so mad right now, KAT didn’t make all nba team.

Why should KAT have made All-NBA team? Who would you have left out?

Bradley Beal is probably the only person that should have righteous anger about being left out

I'd rather Bradley Beal had made an all NBA list at least.

A40:

Thus LeBron joining them to help them. You're proving my point.

darkelf:


I'll take Paul George. He has the better all round game of the three

Another perspective. But you can't have an unprecedented season like Harden and not be MVP. Take Curry's 2nd MVP season and Westbrook's triple double season, those were marvelous individual achievements, and it would be hypocritical of the NBA not to continue with that trend.

A40:

That's the friggin point!!!!

LeBron is 34, Jordan was 35 when he won his 5th MVP, so quit all these age excuses.

Yuup. More of the same. Every time you're cornered in an argument instead of admitting you're wrong its a new but. You bring up nothing that has to do with the bottom line. Like I said, only passengers of the soon to be destroyed bandwagon are justifying the serpents move. I have bigger fish to fry, like do i get an AD, Kyrie or Butler jersey.

steady986:

LeBron is 34, Jordan was 35 when he won his 5th MVP, so quit all these age excuses.

Their age had nothing to do with it to begin with, he quoted numbers, i quoted numbers and now its about age, its not about the numbers its allstar appearances. LOL A40 always tries to move the goal post when his reasoning has been debunked.
