It’s fine for Giannis to keep working on his 3 ball, but IMO the shot he really needs in his arsenal is the mid-range pull up.

Giannis aint get no 4th qtr buckets cuz Team Bron blocked off the paint....They went to the playoff defense, the 3 ball was wide open but Kemba was brickin everything

Not about to jump to conclusions about players based off an ASG performance.

It is, but when it comes to getting buckets in tight games, that mid-range jumper has been a more reliable weapon for some of game’s best closers. That’s what guys like Kawhi and KD go to most often when they need a hoop.

Or some sorta jump hook or a floater.. just something he can hit consistently after a quick move not directly at the rim
but I think Lowry/kemba combo were the biggest problems

2 is bigger than 0. in crunch time if you can't knock down a 3, and they walling off the paint, giannis should at least get an elbow jumper added to his bag.

It was weird...the starters for Giannis were all East and the starters for Bron were all west...I’m glad so many players sat out though, made it more interesting.

After 3 dudes swarmed him on a possession, I didn’t even notice him on the court until that block on Lebron late

I didn’t look at minutes but it seemed like Team Lebron starters sat for a long time.
And Giannis need nothing but better role players on his team. He’s a complete player.

Kemba/Lowry backcourt is easy to pick on for a team that had the personnel like Bron's team. Like what is Kemba supposed to do when he's on an island defensively against Bron who is also able to hook him and blow by?

Didn’t realize Ben Simmons is a big as AD. He really needs to be playing point center ala Westbrook with the floor spread out.

A very important aspect of last night is that the world got to see how fire the Elam Ending is. It's coming man. One day it'll be in NBA basketball for real.

I mean that 4th quarter had deep playoff intensity with 10 of the best players in the world who also happened to be gassed like they will be in late May and June. I do get the skill gap in personnel, particularly AD/Bron/Kawichael vs Giannis/Siakim/Embiid but it showed me he still hasn’t figured out how to beat that type of defensive scheme like he’ll see in the ‘yoffs and he lacked aggressiveness. That’s all I’m saying. People have been criticized for less throughout the regular season.

It's clear as day that is the best use for him. Just might be hard to make that happen in Philly given the personnel and their contracts.

Guess I'll be that guy. Didnt like the format change. Nice tribute to kobe but I hope they go back to full 48 mins next year. It was exciting cause lebrons team fought back to make it a close game. Would have been even better if it didn't end on a damn free throw.

I get it. Watching the 10 best players in the world is really exciting...and you're excited. But that was ONE glorified pick up game...and you're linking this to playoff scenarios
This sounds like something you'd see on First Take on a slow day or something.That wasn't strategized like a real game. Did not have the personnel of a real game. Wasn't officiated like a real-game. Relax
Imagine if someone went down the line with all of these guys and made some sort of analysis that's supposed to matter like how you're picking Giannis to do this with right now? What would you say about Lebron? His only 4th quarter bucket was that give me when they played him for the 3...and they parted the lane (which also wouldn't happen in a real game because there's an entirely different strategy based on the rules in play
). He missed his other 6 shots. Should Laker fans be concerned right now? I'm just asking to look at the full picture and think logically for a minute

do they pick the starters or just the reserves?
