Middleton is one hell of a player.
I peeped he tried to hit that penny stepback in the 4th.

When he’s consistent he’s great. And he was consistent in the finals. Not through the whole playoff run.

Monty Williams or Doc Rivers coaching the suns?

Monty did a great job. They lost to a better team. Games were very close. Bucks stars stepped up on a level Suns didnt.

I see a lot of KD memes on this comment but we all know who really deserves that shot…. KD was just a follower in the super team creation surge

 

[witnesskb24]

Y’all should really hold Dame to them same expectations that Giannis has and give him that same slander for losing *shrug*

 

[rolaholic]

Giannis special man.

Man really put up a Wilt Chamberlain statlines for the Finals

LeBron and KD won multiple titles signing with contenders so let’s not act like this doesn’t work and let’s also see who has more rings at the end of the day.

Gonna have to get souvlaki on gyro bread (in the words of DCAllAfrican ) for lunch in honor of Yanni

 

[pmatic]

So I guess we retire the Michael Kidd-Gyro jokes. At least until next season.

 

[rolaholic]

Didn't realize they brought Mr Bucks in 6 himself into the locker room after

Magic? Bird? West?

Or are you specifically wanting his ambiguous comment naming absolutely nobody to be interpreted as a shot only at Lebron because you can't stand Lebron?

He took a shot at the culture of the NBA right now.

The funny thing is that Dame did the same thing in criticizing stars who leave their teams to win (“you boys keep running from the grind”) and is literally requesting a trade rn lol yet nobody is trash talking Dame, which I don’t understand at all. It’s like people hold players to different standards for some reason.

Who said I can’t stand lebron? I said I see a lot of KD memes. Like you said it’s an ambiguous comment. Bit weird to single out KD and not LeBron. LeBron is clearly the pioneer of the modern super team rush.

Issa LOTTTTA people unwilling to admit that what Giannis accomplished last night, their guy hasn't done. That doesn't make Alphabet better, per se, but I see alotttta defense this midweek morning already.

"Well Dame's teams weren't up to par... plus, you know, the coach..."

"Why just KD memes? Leave KD alone!"

"I mean, Lebron got a small market championship, too, soooo not impressed..."

"It's just one. Steph brought a dynasty to GSW. Just no FMVPs because the voters keep getting it wrong."

"Houston was terrible. Beard had a right to..."

Just give Giannis his flowers, man. I've said forever that small market teams like Milwaukee, Minnesota, Sacramento, etc will never win a championship, and Giannis just did that. I'm a huge Lakers fan, but I know what time it is on this topic. Sometimes when players get drafted to these small markets, you can see in their mannerisms and post game pressers that they just want to play out their rookie contract then go to a major market where they have a chance to win a championship. Giannis didn't do that, just like he said last night. He stayed in a **** market and made his a non-contending looking roster a champion. A lot of you aren't being honest about how that roster looks without Giannis on it. It's not good. But he never even entertained ideas of joining others superstars teaming up, and he has earned the notoriety of dismissing all that, staying where he's at and winning a championship.

No need to defend your guy, Stan. All you Stans rushing to keyboard defense of your guy already: No need. He didn't do what Giannis just did. He didn't.

Flowers.

Bucks followed that 2015 Dubs playbook perfectly. Love to see it

incredible drafting is scouting and taking Steph at #7, Klay at #11…Draymond at 30 something in the second round, Barnes in the lotto…Moving prime Monte for injured Bogut. Signing Barbosa and livingsinton (who was on his way out….Bobby Portis says hi ). Overpaying for Iggy and relegating him to the bench…And leading that team to a chip and making bold coaching decisions like firing Kidd and getting bud.

Bucks drafted Giannis at 15. Middleton in the second round. Scooped Lopez. Grabbed portis from home. PJ on the market. And overplayed for jrue. Two franchises that haven’t won since the 70s. Built through the draft and found cornerstone franchise pieces and built talent around them that weren’t flashy at all, at the time.

Couple other teams got this model too. And they some of the better teams, RIGHT now, when you step back and think of it.

That we believe team, was their first series playoff win in like 30 years . Re-write history and tell me they wasn’t dysfunctional when they drafted Steph.



The parallels are so obviously there. Idk why you knock it.

DCAllAfrican friscostylez

and Y’ALL wonder why I hate on Steph?

I always say the same thing

I’m just the Yin to the Bistephsual Yang

Steph didn’t show up like Giannis that’s why he got eliminated with 2 chances in the play in.

Giannis leapfrogged over Steph whole career in 1 finals series

Steph never winning a FMVP, DPOY, MIP

Steph ain’t EVER show up like Giannis in a title clinching and he been to the Finals FIVE times


He’s not who y’all say he is

overrated af

But he’s good guy Dame

Nobody expects that from portland

*insert bad team excuse*

blah blah blah
