That's a pretty incredible thing for a coach to say about his star player. I was wondering last year if Giannis had considered joining Dallas as a free agent and forming a Euro super team, but I suppose it's good for the rest of the league that he didn't.
I remember watching this sequence and thinking the same thing. I remember Chris Paul feeling for his hamstring (you see it briefly in the clip) and I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone has injured themselves more on flopping than CP3…
Giannis has been very successful in Milwaukee. I honestly never thought he was leaving, and wasn’t surprised by him signing his extension.
I was shocked initially by Kidd statement too, but then I saw a clip of Luka himself saying after game 2 that he had to play better defense specifically, so I see it as a kind of challenge that the player already welcomes. No one can handle CP3 in the 4th Q and him getting biased foul calls has been the most disappointing thing this playoffs for me. The one thing I think coach Kidd can do, is scheme to put more burden on others earlier in the game, so that Luka is fresher for the 4th Q. With them playing at home, there is hope the others, Brunson included will be better.
I mention it every time I say the Suns look like the champions this year.. part of it is CP3 is getting a favorable whistle that no one else is getting, I mean on rip through moves, breaking Alvarado teeth, this one I clipped. Its too biased in his favor. At this point, only CP3 and his hamstring derail him.
giannis was never going anywhere. his post- le comments last year said it all. my favorite non-spur, without a doubt.
He’s the kind of player you’d love to tell kids/students of the game to watch based on the pure basketball related plays.
The issue is though that seemingly every second game (or every single one when in Playoffs mode), he has this contemptuous/a-hole level code of conduct and you’d rather just show them old Ginobili footage instead.
I still thinks Suns are going to struggle against Milwaukee or Boston if either make it out of the East.
they literally have to give brunson a big contract at this point, because if he walks, the extra cap "space" means nothing since they are so far over the cap. they literally wouldnt be able to sign anyone else anyways.
nico is going to have to swing some major trades at this point. but tbh its not an impossible situation, bc the mavs were basically in the same boat in 03-04, but were able to turn lousy massive contracts into Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse, Erick Dampier, Keith Van Horn and Devin Harris. there are always teams out there looking for either specific talents (shooters, scoring guards), or expiring contracts. im confident he will be able to build a good enough roster in time.
the real question is whether they can find any more good value in the draft. that will be the difference between a ceiling during lukas tenure of getting 0-2 championships, or 3+
they need to sign and trade Brunson and package Hardaway in the trade or in another trade. Getting rid of Bertans will be almost impossible, so they are ed with that.
idk i think some team desperate for a shooting big will come calling for bertans. might not net much, but shooters always get overpaid and always draw attention from teams
Tim Hardaway JR and Dinwiddie are bad contracts but at least THJ’s is declining. Bertans contract is terrible though. Mavs will have a tough time adding talent around Luka next few years.
a solid big like Myles Turner or Capela would already be a huge help. All i know is that if i am them, I am not paying Brunson. There is no way id have that guy as the #2 guy on a serious team.
per woj, embiid will play limited minutes tonight.
They are over the cap and in desperate need to improve the roster so there is no way they are letting him walk for nothing.
CP3 ain't getting injured that easily no more since he turned vegan. That's really the main secret to his recent success
Embiid so good. He changes Philly so much for the better. This game is really good. Glad to see Kyle Lowry back too.
For real? I have to look this up.
Edit: you are right. That’s really interesting.
Makes total sense for an athlete just from an inflammation standpoint alone not to mention nutrition. I didn't know cp3 went vegan. I'm seeing some game changing stuff going veggie, is next level for sure, heads up check it out
Wow as soon as Embiid gors to the bench Philadelphia melts down and gets run over.
Wasnt he out from allstar game to about end of season with broken hand or something?
Luckily Harden showed up soon after. The minutes without him or Embiid were ugly, have to say.
This is why I couldn’t really judge Miami. They hadn’t really faced a good team in the playoffs b4 this.
Danny Green doing his part to keep the Heat in the game.
Retro Danny Green game 6/7 on 3.
Harden needs to go vegan then. Seriously.
