The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Reporter:"What will it be like to face Thibs in a playoff series?"
Jimmy Butler: "Ain't anybody worried about Thibs."

So onto the next, love him

Heat down 4 with 6 seconds to go, grief.

Even if Giannis was playing at 50%, to get gentlemen swept like this leaves a stench

His FT percentage matched the 50% he was playing at.

This sounds soooooooo bad

But doesn't winning a championship mean beating your opponents or did the Heat beat the Bucks to increase their VC?

EYE just saw a clip of Yanni getting spicy in the presser on SportsCenter.

 

[ALNotSure]

Can’t go 10-23 from the line and lose by two. That’s on you big guy.

Generally speaking, I loved that Giannis response

 

[nelson999]

He had a bad half. It happens in ball

lol what do you want him to do go up on the mic and make a bunch of excuses? It's clear it effected him. he was losing the ball on his own and missing easy shots.

 

[picasso swerve]

This sounds soooooooo bad

Basically they didnt take em serious.

Welp.

Bucks need to make some moves for next season. Get rid of Bud, do some roster changes. Jrue + Middleton and others for Dame, idk SOMETHING.

 

[freeze]

i'm all for seeing the Knicks go all the way now. Would be insanity lol

Giannis played the last two games, fully. It's unbelievable that the Heat won and needed all 56 of them Butler points, and then won in Milwaukee two days later. I have them over the Knicks, no offense NY, but that is just a crazy, small sample "what have you done for me lately" resume.

Curry would burn the garden down omg.

South Beach Steph getting his 5th ring in Brons old arena to move ahead of him in rings would be OD tough.

 

[elpablo21]

Yanni sounding unhinged in this Press Conference. Who is this Eric that has him reacting?

Eh unhinged?



As frustrated as he was this was a pretty dope response from him in the moment and even checked himself. I'll always rock with Giannis

 

[nelson999]

Maybe im crazy but I feel like his accent is different than the last time i heard it

 

[tupac003]

Chuck picked the Knicks...oh boy.

 

[ALNotSure]

Draymond off the bench works and then let him close out the game. Warriors looking gooooood

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I doubt they fire Bud. They just won the chip 2 years ago. Bucks always done it differently. They not tryna build a "super team" or make panic moves.

*Insert Lebron cast

Grayson Allen

JR Allen

That was actually a good *** answer. I dont think anyone could of said it better or as passionately, and I mean anyoine in the league. He dont sound like hes just feeding us BS, he sound for real. +1 for Yanni.

 

[elpablo21]

You see that Giannis response?

And people expect me to be entertained by Dillon Brooks front running, no hoop skill having antics and can't even grab a mic in a L?

The Basketball community is losing recipes

 

[checks mcgee]

Generally speaking, I loved that Giannis response

Yeah especially if that bum reporter asked the same exact question last year

A year later and same ****?!?

 

[Quincy McCall]

Generally speaking, I loved that Giannis response

Yea', wish most saw sports the same way

 

[dman14]

this a definite head scratcher
bucks had the best record and they pretty much had to do it without khris to begin the season and giannis missing some games as well
i still can't believe they went down like THAT
everyone from top to bottom had a brain fart

 

[Quincy McCall]

Bucks need Dame, if they can break a few piggy banks to make it happen

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I can’t think of another player in NBA history who fluctuates between looking a star and looking mediocre or worse as much as Jrue Holiday does.

There's a few Clippers on that list

2016-17 DeAndre Jordan
1988-90 Benoit Benjamin
2003-08 Corey Maggette
2009-10 Chris Kaman

I actually think that’s a great answer. He’s being real and his perspective is so healthy. It’s life. It’s ups and downs. It’s a process. This sick media driven desire to make everything good or bad, red or blue, winner or loser is really divisive. People that show up everyday put the work in are the real champs. Glory is fleeting. Real winners know that. Losers are the Ben Simmons of the world who don’t show up everyday. You get out of life what you put in.
