    Milwaukee’s defense is overrated, it gets exposed in the playoffs every year, Korver, connaughton, even Lopez on the perimeter get exposed.

    This series could decide the NBA for the next 10 years, if Milwaukee loses its hard to see Giannis not going to Golden State and Warriors have been setting the team up to go after Giannis for years.

    He's got another year with the Bucks after this doesn't he?

    In any case that's not a good move for him. Curry & Thompson are a fair bit older. Mavs would be good for him. He can get as many rings as he wants there if he'll share the limelight.

    Yes but if Giannis wants out he’ll likely tell the Bucks a year in advance so they can get something for him.

    It is not his style to leave, remember in the all star games he picks bad player on purpose.

    Question is does he wanna spend his entire career in Milwaukee? He's got an ego. Small town suited him early but not now.

    I agree he’d rather stay and win in Milwaukee but if he loses to a team like Miami I think he’ll have no choice, a series loss to Miami would show this team is not a real contender.

    Maybe he can blame it on the cops as to why he has to go...Warriors can trade the #2, Wiggins, Looney and every other draft pick they have for the next 10 years for him.

    Nobody wants Wiggins he sucks, the number 2 pick and thompson is probably what it would take.

    I don't think the Warriors have the stones to trade Klay. He also has to prove he is full strength.

    The Warriors would trade Thompson in a second if they could get Giannis. Their were trade rumors about Thompson when Durant was their. Curry and Thompson are both getting old, getting Giannis would set the team up for the next 10 years.

    I don't get NBA. Sure Giannis is good but shouldn't you be able to shoot a free throw to be considered elite?

    Seems the main reason he's good is his athleticism and size and not skill.

    No you understand it perfectly. NBA in love with guys that can run & dunk -give them favourable calls. Not so much lately though; they're calling travelling and offensive fouls -seems to be a point of emphasis at the moment.

    I meant to Milwaukee (they respect him too much), but maybe that is just me.

    I dunno just seems bizarre. You're born an athletic freak so you automatically can become an nba player.

    I'm not denying it takes a lot of effort to get in that kind of shape but I also don't know how you can compare Giannis to Lebron or Kawhi etc.

    So you're telling me that size and athleticism contribute to being a good basketball player? Interesting....

    Bucks might go down 0-2, they are only -4.5 in game 2.

    The Heat are really good. Spoelstra underrated and has learned a lot from Riley. They could win the East.

    Who says the Bucks can't go down 0-2.

    Miami can both play team defense and hit three point shots.
    Butler is playing outstanding defense too, he's like a poor mans Leonard so to speak.

    Yeah, I'm on the Heat again, I'll stay with Boston and Miami until proven otherwise but for now they're the money teams.

    I want to see if Bledsoe is our first, he’s garbage on offense but key to their defense, Miami has no problem against Milwaukee’s defense in game 1.

    Hmm Bucks lackluster at the point. Wouldn't think it to look at them but George Hill is older than Dragic ...by 2 days. Dragic still in fine form though and a different class to Hill.

    I'm on Miami 2*
    I'm on the over 1* (there should be plenty of three pointers tonight, IMO)

    Miami looks the better team but these refs are all over the Bucks. Some really suspect calls right now.

    And another flop called. Bucks are in the bonus with 8:30 to go in the quarter. Unreal.
