2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

Holiday settles for a jumper over Harden and AIRBALLS it.

Bucks with a world class choke job

Not sure what’s more ridiculous; Harden getting two 1st team votes or Luka not getting a 1st or 2nd team vote by four voters. So many media people don’t take it seriously.

My daughter asked who is the guy with skinny legs. I laughed and told her it was Kevin Durant, one of the best players in the NBA.

And then it hit me, Stix has skinny legs as well. For some reason I never thought much about it in relation to a player like Durant. I keep thinking he has to build up his lower body although it wouldn't hurt.

So there is plenty of hope for Jalen Smith to develop into the player we want him to be.

I think of Stix as more of a Jonathon Isaac type played. Decent offensively but a good interior defender. If he can be half as good and twice as reliable as Isaac, ill be happy.

They've got similar builds and seem to have a knack for blocking shots. That's why I think of those 2 as a fair comparison.

This MIL coach has to be fired.

Two really bad shots down the stretch for him. My gosh don’t let that guy shoot you out.

 

[Proximo]

Bucks with a world class choke job

this is just sorry. Such an easily winnable game. Chris Paul would commit murder if his teammates played this dumb.

 

[Beaver]

MIL should be going at Harden and Giannis should be driving to the hoop every time. Horrible offense.

 

[Proximo]

What the hell is wrong with these millwaukee players it’s like they like to shoot over people instead of trying to get open.

All ISO all the time. Frankly I am amazed they were able to get the record they did playing this way.

Giannis settles for a fadeAway... AGAINST HARDEN?!

 

[Dback Jon]

This MIL coach has to be fired.

Didn’t he turn down the Suns ?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Can you guys imagine the board meltdown if we were Bucks fans?

 

[Proximo]

What the hell is giannis doing taking a fadeaway on a hobbled harden?

damn these idiots deserve to lose.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Didn’t he turn down the Suns ?

yup. And I was mad about it at the time.

I mean, he was a better coach than Igor, but he can only get his teams so far. He’s a good starter coach. Helps turn teams into playoff contenders, but not title contenders.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Durant with a CRAZY buzzer beater.

incredible performance by him tonight.

 

[Dback Jon]

Great luck on the Suns part

 

[GatorAZ]

Bucks deserve this for stealing Alcindor.

 

[Dback Jon]

Choke City

 

[Cheesebeef]

EPIC Giannis CHOKE.

 

[Dback Jon]

Giannis is overrated. Not ready for prime time

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Kawai played in 52 games in the regular season, so he missed 27%. Basically he's was out 1 of every 4 games. The guy who's been out way too much for the Clips is Ibaka, who's now out for the season. They could really use him to stretch Gobert away from the basket, instead they've resorted to a lot of small ball in this series.

Lol I divided 20 by 52 instead of 72. Still, more than a quarter of the season missed and was certainly not the klaw all season.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Down 2, Giannis misses a FT. Then down 2 again, drops the ball when set up for an easy dunk. Down 4, misses another FT. Never takes Durant even though he’s killing them.

dude isn’t a closer and deserves whatever criticism comes his way for continually failing in the playoffs.

this thing ends in 6. Gets the Nets some rest and they’ll be healthy by Finals.

A healthy Jonathan Isaac would be a good outcome.

Dude, there should NEVER be a post that insinuates stix has hope because . . . Durant. Never. Ever. No. Just . . . no.

Charles is right about him not being an expert he gets 80 % of his guarantees! Wrong.
