    Giannis' style doesn't translate too the playoffs. Too ref dependent! LOL

    Bucks just couldn't get up for this one, that's the bubble factor, no home crowd to help pump them up.

    Giannis proved he's on Embiid's level of childishness when it comes to frustration fouls.

    Giannis can definitely win it all. He's added more than enough skills to compliment his supreme athleticism, unlike Shawn Kemp for example, but the league is on fire offensively. Really on fire. The Lakers and Bucks will need it to calm down to have a chance.

    And in those 5 consecutive losses, the back to back MVP averaged 3 points per game in the fourth quarter. Another master piece today, 1/7, 3 points.

    Giannis known flaws are all apparent at the end of games. he can't shoot with confidence. he can't create consistently. he has to defer to teammates like PC to help bail him out. If giannis isn't allowed to run over guys, he struggles plain and simple

    Not playing in front of a home playoff crowd will effect the Bucks more than any team in the bubble.

    Giannis still showing how little skill he has.

    most of his offense is running through people like a fullback in transition and getting putbacks like Clint Capela.

    He can’t do anything in the half court, which is where playoff games are won.

    He can’t shoot
    Has no mid range game
    No post game
    No 1 on 1 game whatsoever
    No handle

    His teammates will get the blame for not carrying him and making up for his skill until he goes to the Warriors and probably wins as a sidekick.

    Best player in the league and they don’t even contest your shot in the 4th quarter.

    Instead of making fun of Hardens defense maybe this guy should score more then 1 point in the fourth quarter

    Giannis is long and athletic no real skill to his game. If he were 5 inches shorter he’d be toweling off harden

    Can’t believe they both started and beat the team with the best record. No one noteworthy on the rest of the team played either except Vucevic

    Should have never traded Gary. Biggest mistake in franchise history. 15 and 6 like it was nothing

    This gave me a chuckle. Even the well-liked Zack Lowe is on the list.
