Why doesn't Giannis get blame for the Bucks postseason failures since the 2021 NBA Finals?

[Conan]

I don’t remember a time the Bucks lost a series and thought “they coulda won but Giannis didn’t step up “

nikka been injured and when is out there he be literally doing everything

Everything ain’t gotta be a blame game .

It does if you're autistic or retarded

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Plays through injury, never out of shape, plays both ends of the floor, team is constantly hurt, and he has Doc Rivers for a head coach

 

[MikelArteta]

Look at who he was playing with today

Doc had to Ben ch 3 starters because they were given nothing

All this talk about Giannis when a stacked clippers team is down 3-1

Bron and doncic down 3-1

Its hard to blame someone when hes been injured and did NOT play in 22 and 23. This year dame had clots and torn his achilies. Its all about context. Greek is a threat to joker thats why @Gil Scott-Heroin goes so hard against him. Thus you see the overrated defender thread being bumped. Yeah hali cooked him down the stretch but thats an all star all nba nikka.

For years and years he was underrated/disrespected, but not only did that all go away once he won a title (rightfully so), but it went too far in the other direction, to where he escaped scrutiny and it didn't alter the judgement of him, most notably overrating his defense to unfathomable levels and using it in argument to say he was the best player in the league.

It's less about the blame that he's received, or lack thereof, and more about how it's quickly forgotten about and folks continue to rank him entirely based off what he did in the '21 Finals. Nothing since then has seemed to matter when judging him.

Nobody in the modern era has been called the best player in the league with only 1 playoff win in over 1000 days besides him.

Enter Kevin Garnett

Since 2021 Giannis is averaging 30.8 14 and 6.5 in the playoffs on 52 percent from field

 

[UpAndComing]

Because there is no such thing ad failure, just steps to success

Stop hating

 

[Harry B]

because he’s the difference between the team being completely ass and in the playoffs.

People who get shytted on don’t play well (on both ends or just one) or are on stacked teams

 

[CrimsonTider]

Because he's averages 30 when he actually plays with great defense?

Bro almost solo'd the Celtics two years ago with no Middleton

I dont think I've ever seen them lose in the playoffs and been like "Man, if Giannis was better, they'd have won"

Great defense

 

[madness]

He’s not African American. He doesn’t have a legion of cacs, Mexicans, African tethers and deranged stanbases who hate him. Plus he gave that legendary “There’s no such thing as failure” speech that the rubes ate up. So of course he doesn’t get blamed when his team underperforms.

 

[Mr swag]

That team ass bro. Same reason why Kobe never got blamed when they couldn't even make the playoffs

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Have you tried this thing called a McFlurry yet? It is from the MacDonalds

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

He won a ring for the team that drafted him

 

[Belize King]

He is not the problem. His roster is. They really need to rid the supermax. These players are getting to much cap space. Spread the wealth to the middle class so GMs can be competitive.

One player getting 35% of the cap is asinine. Super max should cap at 25% so rosters can be more even.

Two supermax team builds suck. Celtics will be broken up after this season, Mobley is about to get paid switch may cause salary shedding, Pacers has a unique build, Orlando is stuck with their roster because of KCP and Wagners salary spike.

Dame is going to make 60M plus next year at 35, will not play and is small. That contract sucks and now Bucks can’t roster build.

Giannis needs help
