    How the hell do you go up by 17 points against a Nets team with an injured Harden, a Harris shooting like crap and no Kyrie?

    That's a really bad take. Even if the Bucks win this series, they're definitely not winning the championship.

    LOL

    I just need to know why the 2x MVP and DPOY wanted no parts of guarding KD

    Why give somebody DPOY when they never guard elite offensive threats? Even when Harden was in Houston, Giannis never checked him, it was left up to Bledsoe and Wes Matthews

    if you’re DPOY, then u can’t be out there hiding on the Shamets and Blake Griffins of the world while KD is on the court cooking shrimp and chicken

    And KD smoked his ass.

    I don't understand why Giannis does not guard KD. I can't believe that man is getting defensive player of the year votes. Absolute bullshit.

    Disagree. What Durant did was cowardice.

    Can you imagine Jordan joining Bird on the Celtics after his Celtics eliminate his team?

    Never.

    And that team LOST the title. He went because he wanted to do what was best for him. No clue why you think he needs your forgiveness. Harden joining the NETS in the opinion of many was joining a stack team. Lebron joining Wade and Bosh, many felt was a stack team. They all chose to do what they felt was best for themselves. Saying one choice was bad and one was good is silly.

    Joe Harris with polar opposite rounds. Scorching in Round 1 and frigid in Round 2.

    Round 1
    FG% : 47.1%
    3FG% : 51.5%

    Round 2
    FG% : 33.9%
    3FG% : 33.0%

    The issue is the Giannis doesn't actually know the footwork to be effective in the post. Which is ridiculous because that should be his game. Hook shot. He has the speed and athlecism to spin and lock the guy inside.

    Then actually work on his FT and learn that 17 ft jump shot that Duncan/Garnet had. He still has time to get better, but I don't know he will be able to improve his shot.

    Giannis really thought he could bully Harden in the post. He must not know that Harden is one of the best post defenders in the league.

    Giannis doesn’t even try to take the challenge

    I get it that PJ is a good defender, but when KD is on fire like he was in a game of this magnitude, shouldn’t u as the DPOY toss PJ into the bushes and say “enough, I got him?”
