Yeah I agree with this, just more so judging his overall series still tells me he's Tier 1 and a top 6-7 guy. When you say he wasn't ready for the stage, idk it just depends what that implies. He had a subpar game compared to his standards, to me I'm not going to make too much out of it other than that, he should get blame and then move on
The Bucks as a team had a disappointing regular season and a disappointing end to their playoff for sure. There are a slew of obvious factors that tie into this though, they're not excuses because again, Giannis through the regular season and playoffs imo showed he's Tier 1. Team just aint built right in any manner from the players to the coaching. That's a separate issue than whether or not Giannis is Tier 1 even by the formula of "can Player X take any team to the playoffs"... I would say Giannis fits that bill
