I think this has all the makings of a 7 game series. Kawhi with a clutch performance here. Giannis needs his moment now. And then it’ll come down to game 7. At this point in series’, it comes down to stars. Just look at all the legends through history. I feel both Kawhi and Giannis are on that level. He could drop 40, he could get a triple double, whatever the defense dictates. But he hasn’t had that moment yet this series.

You've overrated Giannis all year, anything can happen in 1 game, but its a shooters league, the playoffs exposes teams, look what happened to Houston. Giannis's inability to shoot is showing up. Milwaukee also has too many slow bad defenders Ilyasova, Mirotic, Lopez, Cannaughton. Toronto has been the better team in every game except game 2.Comment -
Stars. Lmfao.
Who do you have a bigger poster of on your wall goaty?Comment -
For sure Marshall Faulk just for u 2daCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Much more worried about the Buck's bench than Giannis. Bench has been non-existent the last few games and now they have to try and regain their edge on the road. Gonna take one of the team's best efforts all season to get this thing back to Brewtown...Comment -

Bro stop. It's done. Freak isn't ready for this stage. It's part of the learning processComment -
I think Bucks will try to really speed things up in Game 6. Force heavy minutes for Toronto's starters and tire them out late.
Budenholzer needs to make better adjustments, Raptors defense is too good.Comment -
i never overrated Giannis. I know his place. He’s on kawhis level, a tad worse. Top 5 player. They can keep pulling off him, but at some point law of averages will kick in and bucks will hit those shots. This is that game. Then things will open up forngiannis.Originally posted by thomorinoCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
The problem with the Bucks bench isn't that they aren't scoring as much as they are getting destroyed on defense, they gave up almost 50 in game 5.Originally posted by Art VandelayComment -
They just battling to get beat down by dubs anywaysOriginally posted by Art VandelayComment -
Hopefully they don't get swept like Cavs last year. No one was going to beat state anyways. Going to the finals is huge for my city. You got your blues in the finals hopefully we get our raptors in the finals.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
Wizz, Laker,
This series has been even bro. Don’t forget I had Toronto the entire way this year w Boston and agreed bucks were frauds but they’re missing practice shots. Law of averages. Giannis and Kawhi cancel. Coach bud has paid his dues already. Hell outcoach here too.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
You're mixing the regular season and the playoffs. Giannis is a top 5 player in the regular season, he hasn't proven himself in the playoffs though. Like Harden, Harden is top 5 in the regular season but he always chokes in the postseason. Giannis has to win something in the playoffs before he can be on Leonard's level. In the playoff teams are able to game plan for Giannis and keep him out of the paint, in the regular season when team are playing 4 games in 5 nights and no one has time to put a game plan in he just dunks on everyone.Originally posted by Goat MilkComment -
Giannis and Kawhi don't cancel even though their stats are similar because Kawhi is a closer, Giannis can't shoot so he disappears late in close games like in game 5.Comment -
Happy for ya pal. We both agreed Bucks needed to pay some dues before taking the league over. I kinda lost faith after the 1st 2 Games but you stuck w them, nice call!! I did jump back on craptors ship tonight, that nice dog cash paid me back for the milw losses i took in gm 3-4!!! LolOriginally posted by lakerboy
I def think finals be competitive, dubs in 6 I think.Comment -
Harden has had more talent around him and more chances. It a joke to compare the 2. Not one gm in the league would start a team w harden while quite a few would pick freak to do so.. he just has to improve his shot and he will be a championship level force for years.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -

yup. and he needs that second guy right now. there is no one he can count on if he's not on. not much consistency with toronto either but kawhi is flexing muscle being aggressive more than giannis.Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
Not that I care, but Harden is a better offensive player than Giannis right now. Harden almost beat the Warriors last year and Harden already won the MVP, Harden is the far superior shooter and he's a better offensive player. Take Harden off Houston and put Giannis on them they'd get destroyed by GS, its a shooters league, Giannis isn't on Harden's level offensively yet. Chris Paul is older, both player have comparable talent around them, Harden also plays in the West. Harden is the better offensive player without question, Giannis is the better defender.Comment -
Fuk offOriginally posted by 2daBankComment -
Bucks still win series.Comment -
Tell me hardens shooting percentage in the playoffs please? “Harden almost beat Gs”? Lmao. My ass, Paul almost beat them and soon as he got hurt that series was over cause harden a loser.Originally posted by thomorino
You do care and you dead wrong if you think any gm would take harden as their top choice to build a team.Comment -
Not that I care but Harden took the Warriors to 7 last year - he almost beat them. He took them to 6 this year. Giannis hasn't done shit in the playoffs even compared to Harden. Harden is a much better player than Giannis offensively - he can drive and pass, finish after contact at the hoop and shoot - Giannis has to be in the paint to score. Giannis is better defensively Harden is better offensivelyOriginally posted by 2daBank
As for who would you start a team with that has nothing to do with my comment. Teams would pick Giannis over Lebron and Durant right now to start a team because Lebron is 34, Durant is in his 30s, and Giannis is much younger - that has nothing to do with who is better right now.Comment -
Not that I care, but you can't look at shooting percentages either, because Harden shoots 3's Giannis doesn't because he sucks at shooting, Harden is the better offensive player right now, and its not close - Giannis is better defensively.Comment -
Harden shooting percentage in the playoffs is trash. Not comparing to freak. Just a stand alone statement about harden the most overrated biggest loser ever.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -
I think Harden gets a bad rap in the playoffs, some of it deserved, but it's not like he's been a complete no show. He averaged 31.6 in these playoffs.
And who has he had really? He had Paul but he declined a lot this year. Before that, Lou Williams, before that, clown Dwight Howard. In OKC he obviously had Durant and Westbrook but he was still young and not superstar level player then.Comment -
Banker, don’t u dare talk about my boy Harden like that lol. His offensive greatness can not be denied! I know u don’t like his style but can’t deny he is unstoppable ... (in regular season)Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
Agree, Houston's bench was trash and Paul wasn't the same player this year. Harden has not had good talent around him most of his career, before Paul he had Howard - that's a joke.Originally posted by asiagamblerComment -
When refs calling that flopping crap fouls yea he impossible to stop. Put him in the league 20 years ago and he wouldn’t have been scaring anyone. Now days where defenders can’t breath on a guy but the offensive player allowed to shove off with his off hand sure you can’t stop him.Originally posted by pacoComment -
Paul carried him last year tho. Minute Paul went down Series was over cause harden a loser.Originally posted by thomorinoComment -

Jordan was the biggest cry baby ever. He got phantom calls all the time. Let’s not forget the bums Jordan had to play. Shooting over Craig Ehlo for crying out loud lol. 60% of those guys not even athletic enough to play in today’s game. Imagine Detleff Shrimp trying to stop Lebron lmaoOriginally posted by 2daBankComment
