    He didn't necessarily choke. He probably thought the game clock had more time than 3.5 seconds.

    Bucks need a much better offensive coach, they either need to boot Kidd or hire a really good assistant who will bring in a new offensive system for them. Their offensive system is just awful. They're just basically dumping the ball to Giannis or Delly having them run around like crackheads looking to create a shot while everybody else stands around .

    Once they put in a real system in that fully utilizes Giannis and the team as a whole on offense they will be dangerous.

    Giannis has a frustrating skill set on offense currently without the ability to create a jump shot, he's basically a drive and dunk/layup and the defense knows it, that's why he's not a consistent player to go to on offense. He would be better suited off ball until he develops his shot more. He could be lethal in the post as well so thats another place to put him on offense.

    redeemed himself for all those missed FT's with the brainless blunder of the month. to think of all the preparation and training his teammates go through yearround, coaching staff preparation, etc......and it all came down to this fool not being able to figure out that down 3 w/ 3sec left and no timeouts maybe they need a 3??!?!

    I know they won 4-2, but it said 4-1 above the final score, must have been a typo from TNT

    Agreed that, if he was going to take a 2, he should have gone sooner. But when Giannis drove in, Terry was in his blind spot to his right, and I think he had Maker in the corner, as an available pass. If Terry was in that corner, who knows if Giannis would have thrown it to him.

    But that's way too much pressure that you're putting on Giannis, all in that one moment, imo. Dude was the only reason Milwaukee was competitive throughout the season and the playoffs. Solely blaming Giannis for his team losing would be like solely blaming Westbrook for his team not being able to beat the Rockets.

    errr why didn't he take the 3 himself??? instead of dribbling around perimeter like a damn fool

    as far as too much pressure, we've seen what he's made of now. once a choker, always a choker.

    Let me guess. If he makes it, he "got lucky." If he misses it or passes it off, he's "once a choker, always a choker."

    Not sure why you think "once a choker, always a choker," but obviously, I'm not gonna change your mind. Did you have money on this game or something? You're being irrational.

    Lol at the over reaction to Gianni's who was running on fumes since the start of the 4th. Oh coming back from 25 pts is easy I guess. Yeah they couldn't quite pull it out at the end but obviously they're young. He doesn't have a 3 pt shot of course he's going to be hesitant. Once a choker always a choker haha that's just stupid for a 22 year old.

    even if he shoots 15% on 3's that's better than the zero percent chance of winning you have taking a 2 when you're down 3 with 3 sec left and no timeouts left

    Nah. Not knowing the full story of what led to the end of the game and everything that went on. So basically talking in the dark on your part but carry on if you wish on your opinion of a 22 yr old lol

    the full story was mentioned several times by the announcers, that doesn't give him a pass for going braindead under pressure

    Funny how guys around here just talk as if they know exactly what goes on and are experts in these situations. Just another classic armchair. the fact that you didn't even watch the entire game gives you little to no credibility here

    as already posted, the first 47min of the game does not give him any sort of pass for making the most brainless blunder of the playoffs to date in the last 10sec of the game
