Roland17: But that Bucks team sef no good at all. They can’t defend, can’t do pick n roll, can’t screen properly or even attack as a unit. The rot goes way beyond Giannis Egbon. 2 Likes 1 Share |

larride: Naaaa, we can’t continue with the excuses. Doncic dragged a bunch of scrubs to the NBA finals while eating 5 McDonald burger, playing drunk and injured. But that has not stopped some from questioning his elite status. Who are the bums Curry is playing with right now? Without Butler, this man is literally carrying a bunch of bench pieces in the playoffs while playing hurt. street clothes AD? He has never gotten a from most and his superstar status has been questioned over and over again. Post 2021, what is Giannis playoffs record? He is at the verge of suffering another gentleman sweep again this season! |
A40(m): 2:37pm On Apr 28 |
Roland17:No be all this one even pain me ![]() I don't think Giannis is entirely at fault. They just hit a wall post championship. Held on to Middleton longer than necessary. Guys like Lopez as well. I still think y'all caught a break in 2022 though with Middleton going down but that's a part of the game |

Lillard has torn his Achilles. Damn. He will be pushing 36 when he comes back. This might be it

This is not good ooo. You and I apply the hammer when it comes to Le(4-6)bron. It's about time we start doing the same to our Kin. He's no longer a kid in this league. A40: |
Roland17(m): 6:01pm On Apr 28 |
A40: The Bucks should have not rushed him back. They should have allowed him sit out the entire first round at least and hope they make it into the next round. A torn Achillies is a difficult one to come back from. 1 Like 1 Share |

Roland17: Hmm I don’t think there’s any correlation between his blood clot and this Achilles |
Roland17(m): 8:20pm On Apr 28 |
Kibbs: He had been out for a month from the blood cloth on his right calf and during that period, he did not engage in any basketball related activity. He was cleared to return from the blood clot on April 17th, the Bucks decide to play him 5 days (April 22) later in game 2 for 37 minutes, plays another 32 minutes 3 days (April 25) later and tears his Achilles 2 days (April 27) later. Do you see the sequence? His body was not ready after that layoff. So yes, there is a correlation between the blood clot and the Achilles tear. |
Kibbs(m): 9:02pm On Apr 28 |
Roland17: Lol the blood clot is a non injury. Whether he rested or not, anything that would happen would happen. Bucks are not even one that rushes their players back 1 Like |

Roland17: Baba this is more hate than facts. 1. Giannis's work ethic is something you can't dispute. He's one of the few top NBA players who gives maximum effort and he's has never choked in any playoff series. You can't point to one series that the bucks lost because giannis didn't show up on both sides of the floor. 2. He has carried a poverty franchise to a NBA. They basically won without him, he was BATMAN and superman combined. He didn't ride the bus, he made the bus and drove it.. He's won two MVP titles , Finals MVP and DPOY (I don't think you have more than 5 players in history who has completed all individual accolade in basketball while winning the NBA Title. . 3. While he's to blame for the premature sacking of Griffin and the lillard trade. The Bucks front office has been abysmal in of putting the right players around him. Trading for kuzma, holding on to Portis, brook lopez and Middleton for too long. 4 Likes |

Roland17: I do agree that he has to do better or maybe just maybe it's time to leave Bucks. He has hit his ceiling with that franchise, he needs a new challenge. |

Make Una carry all these rubbish Eastern conference teams comot my view jare. Heat really scored 14pts in a must win game at home. They need to disband at least 3 teams from the Eastern conference 4 Likes 1 Share |

etidy: You call it hate but have failed to disprove any of the facts I put out there. What is Giannis playoff record post 2021? Put it out here let’s see. Isn’t he supposed to be the elite superstar? Which aspect of his offense has remotely evolved? What has he added to his arsenal since he became elite? Has he developed a jumper? A floater? Can he shoot FTs, has he developed footwork under the rim? What aspect of his predictable offense has improved? Y’all know a player of his statue in a small market is responsible for the situation but want to continue excusing it because of the Nigerian Tax excuse. He is about suffering another gentleman sweep but we will look elsewhere while the likes of Curry and Luka have dragged worse teams past the 1st round at least! Butler dragged this same Heat team that is being embarrassed on National TV to 2 NBA Finals. I never expect a critical analysis of who Giannis is post 2021 to be a welcoming topic on a Nigerian forum. It isn’t supposed to be a popular opinion so I get the heat. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Celtics ti ni problem bayi o. This one wey this were team dey beat person with 55 points. 4-0 is not enough. They went for TKO. This won't be like last season. At least 2 teams, OKC & Cavs are going for blood. |

So imes genius idea for beating the warriors, is to rile them up and make the game muddy, so the warriors do not get to play. Since they apparently cannot beat them basketball wise. Great.... 1 Like 1 Share |

And it almost worked because Draymond nearly gave the game away picking up so many fouls.... This is exactly what the rockets wants, and I hope Draymond learns or not... |

How dramatic! To be sent home by your greatest rivals. Giannis & the entire franchise would rue the day they let Jrue Holiday walk. They should have built around those 2, Giannis as their best defender in the paint, holiday as their best perimeter defender. Now! Bucks are going nowhere for A VERY LONG TIME!

greypencils: 2:27am On Apr 30 |
larride:Unbelievable how they couldn't hold on for 40 seconds. A certain Holiday would have made a steal to stop the bleeding but they traded him for a can of chips. Holiday for Lillard, Middleton for Kuzma. Senseless Front office. |
Roland17(m): 2:56am On Apr 30 |
larride: Poor execution of late game possessions. |
Roland17(m): 2:57am On Apr 30 |
The Pistons need to invest heavily in helping Cunningham get better with his ball handling, discipline and security. He is a TO machine!
|
larride(m): 3:06am On Apr 30 |
greypencils: Lillard own I can still stomach but Middleton for Kuzma has to be the worst trade ever. Kuzma offers nothing in offense and nothing in defense. Uber useless. All they just needed to do was run down the time during possession and let Pacers take the fouls but no, stupid turnovers 1 Like 1 Share |
