Beating THE BUCKS? That’s child’s play to the best player in the league :mjlol:

It shouldn’t even go 6 if KD’s really like that :russ:
I see you on your trolling shyt. When Bron the best player its always "He needs more help". Now KD gotta win a ship with his 2nd and 3rd best player hurt. ok.

Yeah... because his 4th and 5th best players are a revived Blake Griffin and the best shooter in the league Joe Harris... Curry this year and Bron in ‘18 would KILL for that supporting cast :russ:

Hell, Jeff Green was the Cavs second option in the 18 ECF and on the Nets, even without Harden and Kai he’s a bench player :russ:

I mean, why can't KD win another game? Or hell, 2?

The Bucks offense has not been shooting that well. And he still has Griffin, Green, and Joe Harris with him. If those guys play like shyt, that's a different story. But if they play fine, what's the excuse? In game 4, the Bucks offense took FOREVER to get the lead up to 20 despite the Nets doing fukk all on offense.

And again, in 2019, Steph Curry, with:
an old bench (Bogut and Livingston retired that offseason,
no KD
and Draymond Green who's offense had fallen off at that point...

still beat Houston in 6 (despite many picking Houston to win them that series)


...and then SWEPT a Portland team that wasn't that far off than his own (while breaking the record for most PPG in a sweep in NBA playoffs history with 37 PPG)

...and then pushed Toronto to 6, averaging 30, while being boxed and 1 the whole series. Klay Thompson was his only real offensive help during that stretch. Oh yeah, and in the game where he didn't have Klay or Durant, he dropped 47. People sleep on what Curry did that season. :wow:




I'm not asking Durant to go all the way to the Finals, but winning a game or 2 against Milwaukee shouldn't be asking too much. Jrue Holiday and Middleton are good, but not world beaters. And we already know the flaws with Giannis's game. He has been called for charges more often, and that will increase especially when they play at Brooklyn. If Durant can score efficiently enough, and pass well out of doubles, and imrpove his body language, that plus the calls he'll get at home should help. Again, unless Brown, Green, Harris, Griffin, etc. ALL shyt the bed.

Not to mention, Kyrie will be back probably by game 7.

And again, the bucks offense has been mediocre this series so far.

THERES NOTHING TO
HAVE SHAME ABOUT.

IT JUST SHOWS HOW HIGH
PPL THOUGHT OF THIS BUCKS TEAM...

NOW HARDEN/KYRIE GO DOWN
AND nikkaS PRETENDING THE
BUCKS ARE TRASH.
:devil:
:evil:
They won their last home game by 39. With no Harden and a so-so Kyrie. Shooters make shots at home. They have 2 games at home (potentially)

Its not that the Bucks are trash. However, top 10 all time talent (according to most people here and other place) + great shooters = success. Middleton aint Steph and Jrue aint Klay. So you should sleep easy breh. Its not insurmountable

Im curious how Giannis handles the pressure :ehh:
shooting 2-18, 6-24, 5-16, 7-20, 12-25, 9-23, 14-29
Different era. Kobe's #s in 08 and 10 werent great either and he had Gasol. :yeshrug:

Those east defenses were elite :wow::whew:

Isn't Giannis a defensive player of the year? Middleton and Holiday supposed to great defenders. Tuckera good defender?

And they gave up 125 to Nets team when Kyrie scored just 22.

They've scored 86 points in 2 out of their last 3 games.

Middleton is averaging 15 on the road.

JRue is averaging 13 for the series

As I've said before. The bigger concern might be Nash.

Thread title is a little preliminary…do we even know what the status of these guys is for the next 2 games?
It was for just this game I believe. Since they were only down 2 when Kyrie got hurt.

I wouldnt be surprised if Harden plays game 5.

Its just hilarious how this board wants Durant perceived as a greater player than all his contemporaries, but held to a lower bar than them all. And it aint just Bron---->a recent thread revealed cats want him graded differently than Kawhi. Add Steph, Harden, Giannis, Westbrook, Paul, a few more...

Dudes want to convince you Durant is so much greater than everybody but God forbid you hold him to the same standards you hold his peers to lmao...

That said, 2.5 quarters without Kyrie isn't enough to proclaim his effort as a failing one, so cats saying that are outta line. But there were some tells in that 2.5 quarters that are worth talking about...

After Kyrie's exit Durant went 6-19 with 4 of his 5 turnovers. This is not the first glimpse we've seen of KD without another elite scorer next to him, and historically this is what he turns into. Forcing bad shots (he had one go off the side of the backboard tonight), careless ball handling (was stripped by PJ once and lost another in transition), inconsistent movement without the ball, limp wrist passes, etc...

It hasn't been often he's had to play without an elite scoring teammate, and even in those stretches he's still prone to get hot and torch you. But more often, in these rare occasions, his efficiency and tenacity take a nose dive, and you see this in his body language too. So something im watching in G5, is if he's overcome this, that while it's a tougher road to plow without your elite help, he can stay in the game with something at least close to his normal shot selection and ball handling. If you lose you lose, but don't let the loss be because you can't elevate your performance...

KD IS COMING OFF
AN ACHILLES TEAR...


GIANNIS IS A 2X MVP...
YOU nikkaS ARE PRETENDING
THE GAP BETWEEN KD
AND GIANNIS IS HUGE...

35% OF THIS FORUM ALREADY
PICKED THE BUCKS
TO WIN THIS SERIES
BEFORE HARDEN WENT DOWN.

BUCKS GO DOWN 2-0 WITH
NO HARDEN AND nikkaS
ACTING BRAND NEW
TO PUSH A WEAK NARRATIVE.

:devil:
:evil:


But ya'll wasn't saying this a week ago when Durant had Kyrie and Harden and was the best player on the planet. The achilles injury wasn't even a issue of concern then.

And he didn't, and he was the best player in the league so why should KD now? :mjlol:

So really KD playing with house money :mjlol:
