Not switching your best defender holiday on him when you know Jim is playing like shite
Taking giannis out when he made 2 jumpers in a row
You can put PJ Tucker's 33 minutes on that list too. Completely useless player, worst player on the floor tonight by a wiiiiide margin.

I suspect Milwaukee still wins the series. They’re clearly the better team with Irving out and Harden being useless, and what got them a near 20 point lead is much more reproducible than KD doing this again.

Just take the L on this one.


I guess we could watch the replay and argue about it.

I have no dog in the fight, I was the first in this thread to mention Durant taking over. He played amazingly, I'm not pulling for either team or any superstar therein, so I'm not biased.

For the play we are talking about, he had an easy layup and he passed, that's not what he should've done. That's how I see it anyways.

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’m not sure its his mentality as much as its the fact he can’t shoot anything other than a layup.

Harden clearly wasn't right. Made one shot.

No clue how Bud didn't have him in every single pick and roll action, to take advantage of him.

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


That’s fair.

I was thinking the same thing if I was Nash.

I just didn’t know what else Bud was going to do.

Also, Giannis has gotta do more defensively.

That's a wrap on another historic Jim Harden playoff game folks:

1/10
0/8 3pt
8ast
4 turnovers
5 pts

Truly witnessing the best player in these playoffs

either way. Add him to the list with Paul George and James of players I'm done with
conversely, those 2 dudes 100% lack the mentality but have the skill set.

Harden, AD, and Giannis. Ive long said I don't see any of them ever winning a title as the #1 option m

Can’t imagine what playing the entire 48 minutes feels like. This is the definitive Kevin Durant game

Giannis is a great player for what he is. He just isn’t the type of guy you should give the ball to and let him iso while the other 4 guys watch like the Bucks were doing all of the 4th quarter.

When he’s 100% there’s no question. He’s a nuclear missle that no team has an answer for. Like how do you guard this dude



Been saying it for years.

I think it's far more likely the Nets blow the Bucks out in game 6. This was a monumental collapse.

Seriously, why was Giannis not on KD? Freak athlete and you have Middleton trying to guard him.

I already re-watched it. He had Jeff Green right in front of him.

If Giannis catches it, it’s an easy dunk.

Hes just not someone you can count on, on offense, when you play in a 7 game series and the opposing team can just spend all its effort in defending him

Magnificent player at what he does well. But a massively flawed one

Containing Joe Harris is always priority #1.
