"Giannis has a super team"- Stephen Jackson

[KidJSoul]

The Khris, Jrue, Lopez, Pat, Tucker, Teague cast was statistically superior, more available/healthy, and more clutch than the 2012 Wade, Bosh, Chalmers, Miller, Battier, Cole, and Haslem cast.

2012 NBA Finals - Heat vs. Thunder | Basketball-Reference.com

Sources: Wade's knee drained prior to Game 3

Heat's Bosh has MRI, ruled out indefinitely

On the contrary it was Giannis who missed time while LeBron had to be an ironman playing up to 48 minutes. Khris and Jrue were healthy the entire run.

The Giannis/Khris/Jrue trio from a basketball standpoint as far as fit is more compatible than James/Wade/Bosh as well.

Giannis did not have to take on the toughest defensive assignments on-ball he had significantly less possessions on Durant in the ‘21 ECSF than LeBron did in the ‘12 Finals. P.J. and Jrue took on D-Book, Durant, Trae, Jimmy Butler all those guys. Giannis could focus on rim protection, P&R defense, rebounding. LeBron had to do that stuff too and also defend elite perimeter players for substantial possessions.

Khris Middleton hit 15 go ahead/game tying shots in the 4Q these playoffs the most since ‘07 LeBron in the last 25 seasons. LeBron was the one who had to close games out and hit daggers on the perimeter. Imagine it was Dwyane Wade hitting all those shots? LeBron haters would have a ball.

Kris was inconsistent as fukk and had a lot of games where he did fukk jack all though

Giannis is what a lot of you on here complain NBA players aren’t anymore. If you’re not on his team, it’s fukk you. Dude is a basketball anomaly. We all knew that The Bucks were a point guard away from contending for a chip and Jrue fit the profile for what The Bucks are as a team.

And even then Jrue was 4/19 in this game and Bobby Portis scored just as many points as Middleton.

Giannis scored 50 and everyone else on his squad scored 55 in a closeout game. In no world is this a super team of any sort.

Some of these former players are letting these trolling ass shows make them look like goofies.

That’s normal the second and third options ain’t always gonna be consistent if you got one that it is that’s a blessing.

Khris averaged 23/8/5 with good defense and 15 go ahead/game tying 4Q shots in these playoffs his inconsistencies are overstated. Khris and Jrue closed the Hawks series without Giannis.

Klay Thompson inconsistent as hell in the playoffs but he’s generally loved on here.

D-Wade only averaged 16/4/5 and Bosh only averaged 12/7 in the ‘13 playoffs.

What’s super about that?

Bucks aren’t a super team but Middleton and Jrue played like true number two and number three on a championship team. You don’t have to be a superstar to play your role. Why would Stack admit he’s wrong? He’s dumb and stuck in his bias just like a lot of y’all.

this that bron ball effect , usage rates drop along with production bosh ppg went up 5 points without dominant Bron ball

in 2016 playoffs wade averaged 19 ppg averaged 24 ppg vs the raptors

Come on dog WE'RE not going to do this revisionist history shyt, them heat teams ran a slower pace relative to the league, for example the finals they ran a 88.1 per 100 pace lebron averaged 25 wade 19 bosh 12 etc. We're as bucks/suns ran a 95.5 per 100 much higher possession basketball. I know you a bron stan but this rewriting history out of context

Exactly

It's not a super team. Holiday and Middleton are not dudes that would go anywhere as number 1 options.

Another way to tell is if they were clear favorites. Bucks were not clear favorites to win at all.

It’s not the Bron ball effect

D-Wade knees was getting fluid drained out them and in the Spurs Finals the next year dude was noticeably athletically washed

D-Wade had no problem putting up numbers in the 2012 title run.

Seriously. It's pathetic and cognitively dishonest.

I don't see the point. Let your biases go.

 

[Somebody]

we gon act like middie ain't have a 40 point game, huh?

 

[L68]

Its to the point where I change the channel whenever him and Kendrick perkins are on the screen..

I’ve never taken anything this nikka has said seriously ever… no way in hell I could listen to whatever the fukk he and Barnes be talmbout on they podcast.

How am I rewriting history? Pace adjust the stats do what you have to.

D-Wade did not have 15 go ahead or game tying shots.

D-Wade and Bosh did not close a series without LeBron. In fact them nikkas was the ones hurt.

We can talk about Jrue going 4 for 19 but Bosh had 0 points in a game 7 of the Finals. What is super about that?

Jrue led the 16 point comeback in the 2Q of game 5…give credit nikkas balled.

I’m a fan of Giannis and LeBron. The rewriting of history is what y’all are doing with the Heat painting them as this invincible super team.
