Guys guys the mavericks are coming, they are not ready to win it all this year but they look like the 3rd best team in the west already. They give me the vibes of the golden state team that eliminated Denver and took the spurs to 6 games. Porzingis is on fire on both ends of the floor and doncic is a superstar and closer. Hardaway and Seth curry have taken a leap this season. Rick Carlisle is also a good coach. The lakers and Clippers will be too much for them. But Houston and Denver won't relish facing these guys in the playoffs if they are fit. Like how will Houston contain porzingis ![]() 1 Like |

etidy:A Clippers-Mavericks series would be interesting. Do they have a man for Porzingis? Especially when he plays the 4 with Powell at the 5 |

"An All star player would be wasted. It's not worth it" said no one Ever. Not Jordan,Not Lebron,Not Wilt. Heck Hakeem wishes He had Genuine all star/ borderline superstar teammates during His prime years. If Giannis decides to leave the Bucks, Heaven will not fall. The only thing fans can do is scream and shout. After a while, their initial brouhaha will die down and life will go on. He owes them absolutely nothing. Zero! Zilch!. The only reason I am against Him going to the warriors is because I love How competitive the NBA is currently. Selfish reasons really. 1 Like |

iamJ: I believe he becomes a free agent in 2021 .. if they fail to reach the finals this year ... then it is not going to happen again ... cause you got teams like Boston who look to be improving rapidly .. or 76ers who may get their act together next year if Ben Simmons is traded ... They should keep Joel Embid.. Warriors may trade Wiggins for Giannis ![]() ![]() |

chic2pimp: Banging him in the post and getting sometimes flimsy free throws which they were making. Those things add up. The L IMHO has nothing to do with the playoffs. If anything it made it clear the Bucks will win a 7-game series against LAL because they will have home court and even fringe players generally shoot better at home. Yes, to me, he has added some level of 3-point shooting but I also think he needs a consistent midrange and some other ways of attacking the paint even when bodies are packed in the paint. Clippers have the highest peak but they are flattering. I don't want to call them frauds yet but the much defence everyone thought they would have is at best mediocre. They tend to step up when they want so I know they would be good. But for now, not so. |
Re: The NBA Begins by blacksta(m): 4:56pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
Eruditor: Honestly think he should abandon the 3 point attempts and work on improving the midrange shot ... he may not be able to get to the post at all times .. but will surely get to the 15 to 20feet from the bucket every time.. |

Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 8:58pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
True. He definitely must be held accountable. He has to realize he needs the midrange now more than ever. We have been hitting him hard on that subject, but just maybe it's not something he's going to be elite at. Maybe he's never going to muster enough confidence to shoot it. I am sure he practices midrange shots, but in actual games he just can't garner enough confidence. I just hope he just becomes borderline good at it. That may just be enough. But sometimes you can't help yourself when the other all-star on your team goes 5-19. Like you said Middleton had enough bricks to rebuild the wall of China. ![]() ![]() Roland17: |

I think it's just one game.. No need to start piling on Giannis or his supporting cast. Nobody said anything when the bucks eviscerated the Clipper's and Lakers a few weeks ago. Now after one game, his supporting cast is bad. This Team has lost just 10 games this season and won in the absence of Giannis. They are good Abeg. I give them the benefit of doubt. 1 Like |

etidy:Clippers were missing Kawhi. The Bucks didn't eviscerate the Lakers, they won by 7 Playoffs and regular season is a different beast. Are you going to bet on a support cast of Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe come playoff time? When Giannis gets covered you need a second guy that can step up and make his own shot. No player has won without that. Not the GOAT, not Shaq, not Kobe not LeBron not Duncan |

Hello guys, I didn't know there was an nba thread over here. I hope I am welcomed. I'm an nba enthusiast and hope to comment on a regular basis. Now to the subject of the greek freak, I think anyone can defeat just anyone in one game. I think Middleton is not a bad supporting cast, as someone here described. You guys should be checking his stats. That guy has been putting on big numbers the whole season. Giannis is not the only reason they have only 10 losses... Besides, it is difficult for just any team to win the LA teams at home floor. So let's see how it turns out, but I wouldn't take my eyes off the bucks. Considering how the west is tough, the winner of the western conference may come out very tired while the bucks will be fresh and it plays a role too 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:52am On Mar 08, 2020 |
etidy: And that was why I debunked the narrative that Doncic and Porzingis can not mesh. I think Doncic’s injury and absence has helped him rediscover his confidence which has now translated into a better 1-2 punch with Doncic since the latter’s return. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:41am On Mar 08, 2020 |
Afromentalist: Inversely, I can make the argument that the Bucks may be spent by the time playoffs arrive because of their winning record, remember the Warriors record winning season? Some argued they were unable to win it all because they had very little left in the the tank for the post season and Bob Myers kind of shared that sentiment few minutes ago. Don’t get he wrong, in comparison to the Western conference, the Eastern conference is easier but there is a lot of effort that goes into winning the amount of games the Bucks have won thus far and it may affect the supporting cast more than it would affect Giannis considering the level of talent.
