He set up Giannis for an easy dunk. He's not some plodding stone hands center. Dude has to catch that pass.




He made a pass when he had an easy layup. It was a stupid decision, but you want to think Giannis is a choker so you'll see things the way you want. Truth be told the lane was wide open and he should've been aggressive and finished the play. Dumb pass.

Yup. He had it open. No need to make that pass
giannis was open in the dunker spot. Getting him the ball was 1000000000% the right play

Giannis seems like a good enough guy but he doesn’t have the mentality to win a championship. Put even Trae Young’s mentality in him and they go further.

I guarantee you the direction was "if it gets in his hands, foul him"

Oh, for sure. I just mean they wouldn’t have fouled anyone else there.

And if you can make both FTs, you do it w a stopped clock.

KD is without a doubt the greatest player in the game today, what a magnificent display of basketball he submitted in the second half, THE MAN

They’re gonna fire Bud but I really don’t know how much higher the ceiling is for this team. They just don’t have a Go-To scorer who can get a bucket from anywhere on the court. Giannis is great don’t get me wrong, but his lack of a reliable jumper has really hindered them

He 100% has the mentality.

He lacks the skill set.

Haven't caught up on the thread but even KD haters have to give KD credit for this gem of a game. He carried and then some, and it took every bit of it to get this W

Dude no. Middleton would have been taking a contested shot. Giannis was wide open for an uncontested dunk. That pass is the correct play 10/10 times.

He’s gotta learn how to post up like Lebron did late in his career.

That fade away against Harden was absolutely ridiculous.

Imagine watching Middleton beat his defender with an amazing move, draw Giannis’ man, dish it to him perfectly, have Giannis fumble it and then get blamed for making the wrong play.

GTFO

Na when you’re taking fadeaway jumpers on a gimpy defender, you’re lacking what you need upstairs to win. He knows that isn’t his shot.

Right, which is why Giannis never should've gotten it.

I kinda like Milwaukee to take the next 2 if Kyrie doesn’t play.

ETA: Bit I haven’t considered Harden thugging it out yet
