Stak5 stinks. Jrue holiday was an all star EIGHT seasons ago

Khris wasn’t even selected this year.

giannis did it w/o a superteam. Why nikkas gotta lie about this?

Dudes being all stars don't even make it a super team... that year Chauncey, Rip, Ben and Rasheed was all stars the pistons wasn't a superteam at all. They was just better than nikkas.

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?

Nah. I ain't letting you do Klay like that. Middleton is MUCH more inconsistent. Middleton is every other game on and off. Klay will have a random shyt game out of 10.

I understand you want to prove your point with Bron, but the Bucks had two offensively negative assets on the court at all times. I was trying to stay out of this, but Wade/Bosh/Haslem/Battier/Super Mario were all capable of hitting open shots. PJ Tucker might as well have been one of us and they needed Bobby Portis two series after his own coach benched him. That's not the sign of a super team. Even with injuries that's still D Wade. Even if Bosh wasn't producing like Raptors Bosh he still had that dog/talent in him. It's not the same. Jrue and Middleton aren't capable of taking their own team to the playoffs by themselves like Wade and Bosh did. Both Bosh and Wade were the best players in the history of their franchise at the time they teamed up with Bron.

A random bad game out of 10? Man, hell no this dude wasn’t good in the 2015 or 2016 Finals.

He has a handful of series other than those shooting under 40% from the field. The thing is the Warriors could win spite of his poor performances. Khris has actually outplayed Giannis or been his equal in past playoff series.

A random game out of 10 :mjlol: breh check it out…
Klay Thompson Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

Also, Bosh went to the playoffs 2 times in 7 years in Toronto. Vince Carter was the greatest Raptor. Khris Middleton has never had his own team. I don’t see why Khris with some solid players around him can’t capture a bottom seed in the East. Also, what they did prior doesn’t matter. LeBron wasn’t playing with ‘06 Wade and ‘08 Bosh.

What dog? Why did the dog score 0 points in game 7? The dog was missing games when he was needed. Y’all nikkas care more about about name brands than actual production and on court results.

Nikka teams was in the play in at under .500

A rookie LaMelo Ball almost led his team to the playoffs

Malcolm Brogdon almost led his team to the playoffs

The Wizards made it and play no defense

Boston was a mess

Middleton was nearly a 50/40/90 guy averaged 20/6/5 with good D in just 33 minutes stop underrating dude

U think Khris, Jrue, Lopez with a replacement level starting PF replacing Giannis can’t make the playoffs :comeon:

With all these new Giannis stans, I guess Kris Middleton gotta catch the “ Giannis had to over come teammates” strays.

That dude saved Giannis multiple times these playoffs, more than just timely shots that a regular role player would make.

But I can’t take nothing from Giannis for his performance also.

they got to the finals by hook or by crook and won:yeshrug:

making the playoffs means what though? Surely you're not saying just because you made the playoffs you're a serious championship contender

The person I addressed said Bosh took his team to the playoffs. He did so twice as a bottom seed, first round exit in 7 seasons. Where they contenders? Nah that was the context of that post.

Middleton- 0 all NBA team, 2 all star appearances, he’ll make a few more all stars, go back n forth with a player like sabonis for a few years. Low tier star player, definitely no superstar

Jrue- 0 all NBA teams and 1 all star game 8 years ago. Solid role player, I wouldn’t even call him a star let alone superstar

Nikkas will say anything to try and discredit Giannis’s accomplishments. And if bucks don’t repeat, they will be out full force tryna put asterisks on this run.

I’ve said it in another thread but the clear jealousy NBA players have for Giannis is unlike anything I’ve seen in sports. It’s like some high school shyt. I can only assume it’s because he’s a physical anomaly even by NBA standards and he’s not trying to be all buddy buddy with other players.

And people had the nerve to say he should take less money and form a super team rather than resign with the Bucks. Why would he take less money to ring chase with players that don’t even like him :stopitslime:

EDIT: a super team is when franchise level players that on their own could lead their team to playoff success decide to join forces. Ain’t nobody with serious playoff aspirations building their team around Middleton and Jrue. When you’ve got Giannis you don’t need a Harden or KD etc, you just need someone who can get buckets on his own when things slow down. Middleton has been inconsistent at doing that over the past few playoffs but he delivered this year.
