    Klay was not hurt, Draymond almost never plays like **** in the playoffs and KD missed exactly on game. Thats still a formidable team. Chris Paul had one of the worst playoffs of his career that year. Why do you act like this? Im giving you facts, you just ignore them.

    Bron also played in the weaker conference with at least two all star players on his team most of the time, I dont want to hear it. Draymond would have made the difference in game 5. Yea it was a great block. Yea they played great, but they still had things go there way immensely. The next year they lost to the KD warriors in 5 fully healthy. Give me a break. Stop acting ignorant.

    Should he? Again, the whole idea that Giannis is 'unskilled' comes from people expecting him to have guard skills.

    Do you expect your average near 7 footer to hit mid range jumpers? The answer is of course no. No one was like "Capela should be able to hit midrange jumpers" we were just happy he could block shots and rebound...

    So here is an idea, stop giving Giannis open middies...he's shown this series he's going to hit them. So stop giving it to him.

    I was talking about Joe Harris, Giannis, its a blessing just like Westbrook when he hits jumpers.

    I guess the difference there is the offense kinda runs through Giannis.

    I mean, you have to give up something. If you dont give that up, you are going to give up something else. Do you think Ayton has the foot speed to get that close to Giannis and still stop him at the rim....im not sure.

    When either the Suns or the Bucks win this title, it'll be well deserved and celebrated. For Booker/CP3 or Giannis, It'll be a great achievement and career defining - and it won't matter in a few years (except to a few bitter fans) that they would've or should've lost IF not this reason or that reason.

    It didn't matter with Magic & the Lakers beat an injured Isiah Thomas team in 88 or Pistons winning their first championship against a Magic-less lakers in 1989. It didn't matter with Hakeem's Rockets or Curry's Warriors or Lebron's Cavs and Kawhi's Raptors. They all had circumstances/injuries that favored them as do most champions, but what differentiate them from those who didn't win were their ability to capitalize on those opportunities.

    Give Harden a Jrue in 2015 or 2018 and we’re in the Finals.

    The eye test has me more confident in Giannis' midrange than Westbrook.

    Yeah. When Jrue shot like he did in Game 3 and Game 5, you don't expect to win. But Game 4 they let it slip away, mostly CP3's fault.

    Yeah that's my thing, Ayton can't really do anything, but they as a team have to figure out something. I don't think they can come back and win this series if he's shooting that hight of a %, I mean, it's pretty much a given that every other time he has the ball he scores. That's no good.

    perhaps in 2015 , as per 2018 i dont think mda would have allowed the midrange, so instead of doing his best MJ impersonation, we would have witnessed jrue becoming just another one of the brick brothers going 0 for 27
