    Giannis can't even make free throws, pretty hilarious to watch him jack up 3's.

    That’s why he needs to go play with Curry and Thompson. It’s easier to make a 3 if you’re already up by 12 points. Pressures off then lol

    I hate how much announcers, sports commentators, and others shill for Giannis when it's clear he's just playing bad. Reggie talking about him 'maybe being hurt' is a total joke. Anyone else in the league and they'd be getting CRUSHED.

    They used to and still do the same thing for steph curry. When harden, Durant and Lebron have bad games they don’t get those excuses

    Giannis's handle is shaky. Too many turn overs.

    to be fair to milwaukee, miami is just shooting exceptionally well in this series. the number of contested shots made by role players or jumpers made by bad/mediocre shooters has been incredible. bam is making tough shots, iggy just hit a 3. when you're getting beat by jimmy butler/jae crowder 3's, that's tough. those dudes are perennial "let them shoot 3's" playoff performers.

    miami would've been a 2 seed easily if they always shot like this.

    Giannis is pure athleticism and talent. I don't see him developing a reliable jump shot or even a post move - some bigs just don't have that soft touch nor the footwork even if they tried. Whether in the post or in the open court, he is all bully ball.

    Miami down by 4.

    Miller said it is Giannis time. Lol. We all know that clutch time is where Giannis disappears.

    Other than Jimmy Butler, Miami is pretty much a team of nobodies, but they play well as a team and more importantly, they are tough minded. Spostra is a hell of a coach.

    giannis at 28 minutes played with 7 games to go in a must win game. what in the world. also, he kind of looks checked out. i feel like he's already planning his exit. which is weird considering how dominant milwaukee has been. maybe it's like lebron in cleveland. best record in the league but he has to do it all (middleton way better than mo williams) and it's already wearing on him. except lebron once lost putting up 38/8/8 for a series and this series giannis is the one not playing very well.
