    Giannis makes those 3 open layups he missed and Portis & Connaughton hit those wide open threes he set them up with, and now all of a sudden Giannis has a 30+/20+/10+ triple double (has only happens twice in postseason history)
    All of that could have easily have happened yet the Bucks would still get blown out. They were simply outmatched and without their second all star.
    Hakeem doesn’t go back to back in ‘95 if Clyde Drexler gets hurt either (Clyde averaged 33 points 9 rebounds & 4 assists in elimination games in those playoffs and was also Dream’s closer during that whole run)

    Riv said word by word "Giannis cant guard in the perimeter" and "his championship last year looks kinda fraudy".Also leaving Giannis open to shoot 3s and long midrange jumpers is because they know how dominant hes in the paint.I dont know what guys want him to do shoot 40% from 3,give you 20 points in the paint,protecting the rim as elite as he does and also be as great of a perimeter defender as a Jrue Holiday because for a big hes already great guarding the perimeter only Adebayo propably is better

  • @Blasian_guy

    If you play amazing and lose, that’s not choking. It just means that your team wasn’t good enough. as was the case with the bucks and Giannis. Outside of giannis, bucks had no other scorer. Jrue holiday was supposed to be the second scorer for the bucks and he shoot 36% from the field and 30% from 3 and had to shoot 25 times a game just to get to 20 points. Connaughton, hill, matthews, portis, Lopez, and Allen were all atrocious in the series. It’s a miracle that the series went to 7 games. It should have been 4-1 Celtics.
    Jrue and Lopez should be the ones being called out for choking.

  • @warpspeed9877
    @warpspeed9877 2 года назад +2

    He didn't choke. He was just gassed. When you are tired you lose easy baskets that you usually make. And seeing his teammates not able to help, made him take up more shots that he usually disses out to KMid or his other shooters. It's not irrelevant that he was worse at the 4th quarters of the last games. That's being tired. And don't compare him to Kd..Kd gets his points the easy way: he shoots jumpshots. Giannis has to fight hard for his points against big bodies under the hoop. That's a whole different ballgame...

  • @JayTeeGR
    @JayTeeGR 2 года назад +11

    It's complicated with Giannis, because yes he played "somewhat" mediocre for his standards at game 7 but in the previous ones he was in god mode, he also had a historic playoff performance (and they still lost). So, basically Giannis gets no pass because he failed to carry a team by himself to the finals, a second time? I understand your logic but all the stars you mentioned KD, Harden had super teams around them, that's why they get no pass, but Giannis, if you remove him from the Bucks, they are instantly a mediocre team, he does a lot for them on both offense and defense. He only scored 25 points at game 7 (along with 20 rebounds and 9 assists) and not 60, so it's automatically on him?

    So if Giannis choked then did Luka choke last night? I would say they played better teams than them. But then again I don’t say players choke I say they lose to better teams. When a player who is the greatest player of his era got swept by the Spurs with no help I didn’t say he choked I said the Spurs had better players. By the way before I get quotes about the GOAT discussion I now talk about best player of their era because to many rules are different for different players. Wilt and Russell in the 1960’s, Kareem and Dr. J in the 70’s, Magic and Bird in the 80’s, Jordan and Hakeem in the 90’s, Duncan and Kobe in the 00’s, Lebron and Steph in the 10’s, Giannis and Luka in the 20’s so far.

    Crazy how a 25/20/9 game is considered horrible for giannis lol but people continue to forget that the rest of the bucks basically did nothing. People talk about giannis not being efficient in a half but don't say a thing when it comes to jrue holiday's efficiency for the whole series. They don't say a word about how horrible Allen n Hill was, how bobby portis n others couldn't hit open 3's. Let it be bron in this situation the 1st thing people would point out is that bron had no help but with giannis people are ignoring that he has no help

    Bron has been accountable
    Steph had the choker narrative for years

      Nobody is giving him a pass. Yes Giannis should have played a little better in game 7 but everyone on the planet knew that the bucks were not going to win the series without a second scorer. The series only went to 7 games because the Celtics chocked in 2 of those 7 games. Series should have been 4-1 Celtics. jrue Holiday was supposedly the bucks second best player in the series and their second scorer and he shot 36% from the field and 30% from 3. Dude had to shoot 20-25 times a game just to get to 20 points.
