    I’m not sure what you’re arguing?? If you think Giannis barrels into defenders with offensive fouls for most of his moves you’re just wrong.

    did you even watch the game tonight? He barely did that at all. Literally all you had to do was watch tonight’s game.

    I'm actually not. there's a reason why its a recurring discussion time and time again but it's the truth.

    Did I say it was just tonights game specifically? nah dont think so. pay attention

    The bucks didn't get whistled for their very 1st foul til almost the midway point of the 2nd quarter. let that sink in. An NBA finals game really went that long without an actual contact worthy of a foul. Nah nonsense. Fouls weren't going to be called tonight. just fyi

    Bucks don’t belong in the finals…2nd round fodder that woke up and found themselves in the finals because the rest of the competition died

    "Limited" is very different from unskilled. Some of you guys are exaggerating by saying that he can ONLY bull his way to the basket and is an offensive foul EVERY TIME. That's clearly not true. No need to use those hyperboles. And I don't even like watching the dude's brand of basketball.

    Being able to play more minutes, score more per game, more rebounds per game, more blocks per game, more steals per game is not really skill. Skill only involves passing.

    it's not much of an exaggeration. it's what he does. that's the way he plays and bc of his glaring weaknesses that's pretty much what he has to do

    3 first round picks and 2 swaps for the same guy. Is that worse than 2 picks and 2 swaps + Chris Paul for Russ?

    to be fair, they finally did make it to the NBA finals and he was big in the 2 games Giannis missed lol. they'd probably just lose to miami again if bledsoe were still there

    The bucks are just outmatched here by a better team and staff

    The funniest part to me was when Giannis was trying to yell at everyone on the bench in a timeout, after holiday blocked a booker dunk attempt and 3 suns players trailed while no bucks crossed halfcourt to help holiday. And that included Giannis. He has no room to be yelling at anyone there

    well CP3 to Russ ended up being the end of the Rockets, and it further led to another albatross in John Wall, so Rockets still hold the biggest L

    Bucks at least got to the finals even if they have no business being there

    did you watch game 1?
    Did you watch the last series?

    recurring discussion? Where? Show me a bunch of articles that famously discuss this? Some salty fans in message boards? Lol. Even then the discussion is the fact that he has one move and effectively bully balls his way to scoring. That’s not the same as offensive fouling every time.

    he’s factually not called for lots of offensive fouls. He just dominated a game with size and skill. He does that a lot.

    do you think Harden offensive fouled every time to because he created most of the contact?

    I’ll give him the 2 games in the ECF…this dude was playing for BK tho in that 2nd round series he was so horrible

    I don’t get why he’s become Westbrook from the line either

    Great response!

    So no recurring discussion then lol.

    You’ve watched enough yet the game he literally just dominated he did not do what you say he does. Guess he just decided to dominate a game and score 42 points in the Finals with skills just to show you what’s up. He’ll be back to offensive fouling every possession next game … lol.

    It’s still nba refs and actual results of what we’re watching in one hand… and Yolo on the other lol.

    It's really weird. We've heard around the league of guys saying Jrue is so overlooked and he's a stud. He flashes moments but it seems like he just can't click at the same time when giannis is in the game with him consistently. not sure what it is. Maybe a bigger mental thing that's affecting his decision and execution. Maybe their gameplans aren't suitable for him. When Giannis is out he knows what he needs to do? Just strange

    I mean when you said disagree and I said good to know. That's pretty much my response there

    like I said earlier for you to pay attention, you obviously havent. acting like I am talking about this game specifically.

    Yeah he will. And Ill be sure to @ you
