Oh i mean im suspicious of Bucks..

their performance doesn't earn them a spot in the Finals.
Yes they took down KD35 and Nets. but i still don't think they can beat Hawks.

Without Giannis, we see that the 2nd and 3rd options are basically jus like any other players. And they are on big contracts.
I think you are not giving Middleton and Jrue their credits.
Last season playoffs, Middleton stepped up when Giannis went out iirc. Big shots after big shots. His consistency is an issue that's why he's a #2. Let's see which Middleton pop up. And Jrue impact arguably can't be seen from the boxscore.

depends how well Middleton plays

Giannis injuries I guess is a smoke by team managements we seen it many times this season especially during po

Teams will not reveal real players condition make it like game time decision so that disrupt opposing teams game playing plans

The way I see how his knees get bended at least out for this series. If u watched the slow mo n other medical experts

Plus now nba team protects players more they will not risk their franchise players easily if not ended up like kd miss one whole season

Again not that I "act humble "to say bucks still can win hawks but given Middleton performance in the past he is capable of scoring 40 50 to carry his team but the key is who will step up?

Unless conington n tucker can help n Jeff Teague also explode

I guess tomorrow will see middleton n holiday play almost full game like that play against nets

tbh.

I have seem enough of Middleton.

It's time to break up the duo of Giannis and Middleton if Bucks want to even have a chance at the Finals. This season they got lucky Nets were at 1/3 power. Next season not so easy.

Can fight with king james for that oscar nomination

COusin threw out that elbow and CP was trying his luck which he succeeded.

without Giannis bucks chance of winning decreased significantly

Did you guys see the box score?

Clippers had 32 FTA while Suns had 11 FTA.
They still lose the game by 20+

He was surprisingly consistent during the playoffs when they needed someone beside Pandemic P to lift the team. He could have easily been in contention 6th man of the year if some coaches are stacked with their best 5.

The thing about Reggie Jackson is that he only play well during contract years. His piston days after signing that contract wah lou eh.

PG somehow plays better when Kawhi is not playing. I feel that he needs to be the main guy on the team to be more effective.

Clippers might be hoping that Kawhi declines his player option and then they have the chance to sign a max player like you've said.

One gets to choose where he plays and the other gets to sign another star player. Win-win situation for both.

the worst scenario is kawhi signs extension yet do his mia stunts like he did in spurs time to demand a trade suddenly n he not playing much do load management after that

He is good when he is healthy but when he got injuries he is like small kid dunno what he want who to trust must make him happy so that can play for the team or po

So it's not so 'perfect "there is risk unless team can make sure there is someone he trust when he joins them
