Giannis is limited and has no bag, says ex-NBA player (17yr vet)

[Flywin Lannister]

He also heeded the challenge of defending Nets superstar Kevin Durant.

What? Uhm. No. He did not heed the challenge. Durant lit his team up game after game and he didn't do anything about it.

So..

I would say that there is some truth to that. However, people are willing to take those charges in the playoffs that they aren't willing to in February or March. To have gotten as far as he has shows that he is a freak athlete and he does work hard.

Yannis got a better resume than anyone who’s played for your favorite franchise. Especially if he wins a ring this year. Have a seat loser.

My favorite franchise is the Los Angeles Lakers.

One of their players is called.. you know what.. never mind look for yourself (and we don't have to talk resumes because you know how that series ended..)

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

That ain’t the coli. Regardless of what Giannas does he’s right about him. Unless he starts shooting 40% from 3.

If I say shaq can’t shoot free throws when Shaq gets a rings I don’t owe him an apology.

Giannis got Kyrie out the paint, that’s why they won. Not because Giannis developed his game.

Everything Al said is right.

Giannis criticizers are see through

They have been disrespecting him all season and last season. Now that they see he has a huge chance to reach the Finals, they are getting salty that their opinions meant absolutely nothing

Sad

I agree and I love Giannis. Which is why I don't believe in him or Simmons. At least Simmons has a shot. Maybe he does improve his shooting because he got everything else. Giannis is what he is. He's a very limited half court player. This Hawks series will only prove it again.

Who mans is this?

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Kyries godfather...

Meaning if he develops a solid 12-15 footer it’s curtains

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

If KD's foot isn't on the line everyone here would be agreeing with Al Harrington. I'm not mad at it, to the victor goes the spoils. I'm glad Giannis claimed his spot, now if they win the title he's certified for life...

If KD foot isn’t on the line that means he’s backed up further and probably doesn’t hit that shot.. and we are right here disagreeing with AL.. stop playing that’s what if’s bro

He’s a one trick pony. It’s okay because he is good at it. But his game doesn’t make sense. If you going to drive to the hole every time and not shoot, why are you catching the ball at the top of the key Why are you not down in the paint if that’s where you want to be Its the same thing with Ben Simmons. Except he’s even worse. Wants to be a PG on the perimeter but doesn’t want to shoot and drives to the hole everytime. Get your ass in the paint.

Because he’s the play initiator and the offense benefits from his driving and kicking.

Because he’s unstoppable with down hill momentum.

 

[ISO]

All people are asking to do is develop a mid range game, as good as he was last series he got also got bailed out by Khris Middleton's shooting which allowed him to operate inside.

Bailed out? That’s Khris Middleton’s job.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

If the Nets were healthy, everybody here would be agreeing with him.He's not wrong.Chris Middleton's the Bucks situational/crunch time/crucial bucket generator.That dude hit buckets to squelch so many Nets runs in game 6 it's ridiculous.Every time it looked like the Nets were gaining momentum, Middleton: WAKKA! All net

I think KD can make a shot an inch behind the 3 point line. I've seen him do it a couple times....

Why are ya'll acting like I'm speaking in hypotheticals?? I'm talking about the shyt that people on the Coli, Twitter and other NBA players ACTUALLY SAID between Games 1 and 7. Al Harrington was just repeating shyt that everyone was saying 5 days ago...

 

[paidNfull]

I'm rooting for the Bucks all the way

 

[steadyrighteous]

All of this because he's not a part of the AAU "let's hang out and practice in LA" community.

I hope he wins it all this year.

Some people are upset that Giannis shot got broken by Jason Kidd. So they imagine what he would be if he could shoot like his rookie year and dominate in the paint like now.

Other issue is good defenses just limit what he can do. They finally killed Miami who looked worn out, but that gameplan is still legit vs him. You think Milwaukee brass isn't thinking they have to improve his offense over the summer because they almost lost to Brooklyn without the full squad? 1st 2 game of the series people were talking about them getting swept. Giannis has to improve from the stupid spin move he does and get a decent counter. That's all. But like Harrington said he does not have bag and I don't know why that's getting people upset. We all know he can't score in creative ways like Kyrie, Harden, or Durant.
