How can nikkas still blame Giannis when his number 2 is Middleton. We know what Giannis is, he is a big with some wing skills. He isn’t a shooter. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a great player. He needs his teammates to perform up to par. He did what he was supposed to do first game. Last game he wasn’t as aggressive as he should’ve been but I can’t say he was just straight ass. If you want Giannis to be a wing player, it won’t happen.

Who do we have to take the ball up the floor that's not named Giannis? Khris only one that can kinda create his own offense, but not enough to warrant a double team. Plus no one moves off the ball much, they just wait for Giannis to do something... Works in the regular season, not so much in the playoffs.
Giannis was coached wrong from his youth
Instead of making him dominant in the paint and lane they allowed him to handle the ball and make all the decisions offensively on a team

Dominance >>> Skill when it comes to bigs who are built like giannis

They need to get rid of Lopez put Giannis at center and surround him with nothing but shooters. He can be like Dwight was for the Magic with more touches offensively and the ability to guard on the perimeter. And they NEED an elite shot creator and maker but they aren't just growing on trees of course. A player like Dame would be perfect with Giannis.

That’s what’s fukked about Dame wanting to stay in Portland. He’d be a match made in heaven for any of the elite players. Luka, Tatum, Bron, Giannis all become favs with him on the their teams..

He’s got the Steve nash * by his second one.

Just like people were still in :krs: of the 7 second offense and gave him a second one, people were so entertained by such a long and athletic freak they gave Giannis another.

History is gonna look at it funny in the light

Nash killed teams in the playoffs so that's not a fair comparison at all. I remember him having some games where he'd just abuse teams. He had no offensive weaknesses. Giannis is late game liability

His #2 has been playing hot trash. How do you expect him to beat the Nets of all teams with a #2 SG shooting 30%? :heh:

Giannis and Dame are in the same situation. They committed to small market teams that can't build rosters to cover their weaknesses. :yeshrug:
Middleton is overcompensating for Giannis being skillless. He’s the only one trying

Isn't that why they got Jrue Holiday? :gucci:
