Not a good look for Giannis
I know he's struggled but what a great game from Middleton. 36 Pts and was clutch..
Jimmy hasn't been very impressive this series, tbh.
it's the opposite tbh.
now no one can say giannis got swept. middleton helped giannis legacy from being more tarnished.
Brook Lopez on the court.
Jeff Van Gundy: "The Bucks just don't have any size on the court right now."

Props to the bucks but as usual the refereeing was god awful down the stretch.
Lol Giannis the pussy wearing a walking boot and his team wins without him
Are the Bucks better with Middleton as the focal point of the offense? Giannis can play like a Jokic role.
Still better than getting blown out at home on an elimination game by a Kawhi-less Spurs, tbh.
Where are the Spurs this year?
Imagine calling Middleton trash just to prop up that Greek piece of
The does that have to do with anything? Are you 12?![]()
You brought them up. So I asked where are they this year?
The Spurs weren't the point, tbh, the point was Harden choking a playoffs game at home vs a team that was lacking its best player, tbh.
Yeah a top 5 REGULAR SEASON team that consistently struggled in the postseason & got annihilated by every version of the Cavs so FOH with that narrative.
As far as injuries, OG missed the entire postseason & Kawhi was playing on one leg but still thoroughly outplayed the Duds who pulled two games out of their ass when the Raptors let their guard down otherwise could have EASILY been a sweep. Kawhi essential ended them in Gm 4 at the Oracle despite Klay/Looney going off meanwhile Harden/CPlea-3 choked with a team built to defeat the Duds.
Kawhi NEVER had a team built around him but instead had to play alongside Carmelo 2.0 & waste his prime for the duration of Fatty Mills contract.

Yeah, Bruce Bowen would have OFFENSIVELY outplayed PEAK LeBrat (who padded his stats in garbage time) for 3 straight games including taking over a pivotal game on the road (Gm 3).
What you said is true for Iggy who won the MVP for making corner 3s while being guarded by Mozgov & playing worse defense on a gassed LeBrat than Jimmy Butler during the same postseason.

Let’s see, Kawhi had to beat the Warriors with Softridge/Fatty Mills otherwise it “wasn’t earned” b/c Siakam/Van Vleet. Essentially, the compe ion loading up is fair game but the subject has to play with different rules. Got it!
Had tyFO made the Paul George trade then it would have been all fine & dandy but no bueno since it’s the Clippers![]()

Still, Siakam, Van Vleet and Powell took a quantum leap and James left the conference. Of course they were never winning with DeRozan; that's not the point. But let's not pretend they're not ideally suited for virtually any superstar.
They were hurt, the Warriors were injured.
S bag had a way better team around him in '16 and '17 than plenty of superstars from the past ever did (Garnett, McGrady, Iverson, etc.) and had he waited five minutes, he'd have had the perfect perimeter compliment in White.
James destroyed S bag in the '14 Finals, the Spurs were just playing as well as any team ever had to supersede it. S bag was a role player and wasn't tasked with creating offense.
The '19 Warriors were not the same beast as the '17 Warriors, even had they been at full strength. If it's all about results without context, then Durant is also a 2 time champion/Finals MVP.
Like they had the assets for George. You can't just up and decide you want a top 15 player because these two divas supposedly wanted to play together back then. Again, you're conveniently leaving out the context. He blackmailed the Clippers, who give up a good prospect and 5 1sts because George wasn't actually available. That's the definition of gaming the system.
Dumbass, my point isn’t about the specificities of the Paul George trade (Morey would have made it happen due to being “blackmailed” by Harden) but the FACT you WOULDN’T say shyt just like when Softridge joined the Spurs in exchanged for washed up Diaw. But...but...but...blackmail( tyFO also turned down Lowry in free agency)
LMAO at the second coming of John Starks being the “perfect” compliment on a legit contender in 2020
Siakam/Van Vleet/Powell (all of whom got to play their preferred on-ball offense with Kawhi) would have taken a quantum leap to being swept in the 2nd round without Daddy Kawhi (imagine Giannis & Siakam fitting in “perfectly”). Frauden on the Raptors would have been souped up DeFrozen choke job too. (Basically, put the last 3 MVPs on the Raptors & they wouldn’t have rang)
Choke-P/Frauden choked against a Beta-less Duds squad, Kawhi would have finished the job.

Harden didn't blackmail the Rockets and neither did Aldridge the Spurs, who were a team in transition (which you claimed sucked), genius.
At comparing Starks to Lowry. The former was never anywhere near a top 15ish regular season player.
I meant individually they did. Of course S bag took them over the top, but let's not act like he joined some mediocre team and didn't catch a bunch of breaks. The majority of MVP caliber players easily "win" that championship.
S bag "choked" in '15 and '16, only to quit in '17 and rest 110 games over 3 years to be in peak form.
They were down again with him but they came back (they were down just 2 points okay) and won without him. It's even worse than being swept tbh
He “choked” to a 2-2 record, “rested” 110 games & still has two FMVP. Sounds like a legend only matched by ‘96 Jorn
BTW, Harden literally said “there will be changes coming” at his post choke press conference last season & had Morey ship out Choke-P despite him being the one that did most of the choking.
I was also referring to White but now that I think about it, Lowry is John Starks with BS foul benefits.![]()

He was a role player in '14 and needed contrived/tainted cir stances in '19. He's created those same cir stances in '20 and beyond. He's a pussy, who'd be getting a fraction of the credit he does had he remained a Spur, which was clearly a factor in his no longer wanting to be one.
Fine, but he didn't give them an ultimatum of Westbrook or else. He wanted it, but that's different.
Lowry does get "BS foul benefits". I'll give you that one.
