Nope, not correct.

Didn't TNT just say it was KD and Barkley?

Durant had one of the most epic performances in playoff history and they couldn't put together an MVP chant for him.

Why do we all forget how banged up Curry was for that entire playoffs. Lebron beat a good GSW team but that wasn’t the 73 win team out there.

Durant is amazing. A gift to all us basketball fans. The guy just loves to play and loves to compete.

Watched again the last turn over from Giannis. It really not Middleton fault his pass was not bad at all..

- Agreed on Kawhi

The lack of in-game adjustments from the Bucks was amazing.

Not doubling Durant? Not putting Giannis on him? Not pulling Lopez for Connaughton when they were killing them on the P&R?

KhalDrogo · 06-15-2021, 10:52 PM

Bucks locked into three more years of this terrible roster. Doesn’t matter what coach they bring in. Always going to be a problem finding who to give the ball to in the fourth.

Nothing?

Yes, against those juggernauts Rip hamilton, billups and tayshaun prince. The decade long cake walk east.

I think Lebron also once scored 32 straight points in his son's elementary school father-son game.

cityandcolour · 06-15-2021, 10:54 PM

Epic game by KD. Epic choke by Bucks.

This is just my opinion, and you're welcome to disagree of course, but Bucks got to where they are purely off the back of talent, more so than the coaching.

Bucks need to get rid of Coach Bud if they don't at least make the ECF this season. I could tell the Nets were going to win based off their 3rd quarter run, because Bud does not make appropriate adjustments. Durant was cooking Tucker and nothing was even attempted to adjust to that, no doubles, no traps at half court, no switching Giannis on to him, nothing.

I'm rooting for the Bucks because I'm a huge Giannis fan (Trust, I know all about his flaws, and some of his decision making absolutely baffles me). But i'm not confident at all in their coaching. Hopefully I eat my words.

Curry was injured but just as big a story was D. Green's bs suspension for game 5.

Sit back and enjoy the KD performance we all just witnessed and maybe worry about LeBron another time?

HAHA, I love how Leflop is the Kevin Bacon of the NBA - anything and everything can be linked to him in one way or another.

But they were toast after losing game 4 at home in Cleveland. If the league doesn't suspend Draymond for Game 5, the Warriors would have closed it out easily.

Lol yeah like draymond is Jordan or Wilt. The cavs won that game by 15 points.

Sjpwa · 06-15-2021, 10:58 PM

KD great game

Stoiclife · 06-15-2021, 10:59 PM

I can't wait until Thursday. What will KD pull out of his hat for the encore?

Siberian13 · 06-15-2021, 11:02 PM

You guys sure love Lebron. He’s not even playing right now but that love is still there by both sides of the fence

Yeah terrible team. Same players that beat the Lakers super team and just lost to the Spurs 4-3 in the Finals. Knocked out by nba champs 2 years in a row. Man those Pistons teams were awful. Sad that you can’t even acknowledge that scoring 25 straight points, Shot to go to ot, Shot to win the game with under a second left is an all time great playoff performance. I don’t care if they were playing the worst playoff team in the league. If it was so easy to do why isn’t something like that done hardly ever?

I could care less about Lebron. Although it is funny that after the Cavs won the title I said it’s over for awhile. Durant was gonna sign with Golden State. If the Warriors win that game I don’t think Durant goes to the warriors and the entire last 5 years of nba history is different.

We rarely agree, but I think most will cosign this.

The Shaq-Kobe Lakers must've been a cake walk.

Seems nobody has ever been good at basketball.
I hope someday a good basketball player happens.

Wait, Lebron Homers claim he is so great because he performs amazing feats against super teams.

Yet, they cry when he loses because it’s not fair he has to play against super teams.

I don’t get it.

You can’t have it both ways.

Either he can’t win because he plays against super teams, or maybe the games he wins aren’t against super teams - only that makes sense.
