Saying that Giannis sucked in the playoffs is disingenuous. The Raptors just played him really well.

 

Giannis didn’t suck in the playoffs but all of his numbers got worse vs the regular season which is what happens to Harden every year. Both of their stats are still better in the playoffs than 99% of the league. And I didn’t watch a lot of the raptors series, but I def remember hearing Giannis didn’t play that well.

 

Before last season he wasn’t good at all in the playoffs, still got voted for mvp lol. If we are talking strictly after they won mvp then I mean.... James has been good still in the playoffs after winning his mvp and he was runner up last year so people still voted for him.

 

Are you intentionally not reading what I wrote or something? I'm not gonna just keep repeating what I've already said.

 

2017 playoffs in 6 games: 24.8 ppg (60/112 field goals 53.5%) 9.5 rpg 4 apg (age 22)
2018 playoffs in 7 games: 25.7 ppg (69/121 fields goals 57%) 9.6 rpg 6.3 apg (age 23)

and then of course last year he was great

so when was he bad? in his first ever playoff series as a 20 year old against the Bulls?

 

crazy that putting up 25/9/5 is "not good" in the playoffs

damn

 

I didn’t mean to start a thing I was just tryna kill a boring hour at work. Can we go back to making fun of Ben Simmons plz

 

But Ben Simmons has hit a 3 he can no longer be made fun of

 

If LeBron wins it while with the Lakers he’ll be the first player to win MVP with three different teams. That’s kind of cool.

 

But when he bricks every 3 he attempts going forward then we can all come together and laugh

 

Rockets/Clips tonight

gonna be a good one

 

NBA should just give Devonte Graham the MIP award now


Though Ingram will probably get it because 2nd year players shouldn’t count etc etc

 

Damn can’t believe I missed the harden/Giannis debate #858372626

 

The Heat are the second best team in the East

 

Also the Sixers would be a lot better if they never traded for Butler and Harris - Covington and Shamet are like the perfect players to place around Embiid - I dunno why the Sixers front office panicked last season

 

Heat haven’t played many good teams. I’m not sold on them yet

The Bucks win and Rockets win are about the only good wins so far (both are great though)

they’ve played the Cavs twice, Hawks twice, Memphis and Detroit

 

I love their roster tho - it’s the perfect team for Butler to thrive

 

The heat are doing really well with Herro and Nunn getting lots of minutes (and even Duncan Robinson) which is cool. But it also makes me not trust them as like a legitimately dangerous team for like the ECF

 

They have some fantastic young guys. That roster probably would’ve been solid even without Jimmy.

Nunn, Herro and Bam all look great.

 

Thank god for this Hawks win we’ll get before we have to play the fucking Bucks tomorrow night

 

I’ll be mad if we let him walk for nothing @Joe4th @StuffinCups

Take some expiring deals, a first round pick and call it a day.
maybe ask for Monk. They aren’t going to move Graham or Washington

 

yeah we need to trade him. It’s rebuild time. Gores is a moron though so he’s getting a max fucking deal

 

AD/LeBron fast breaks rule
