Prove me wrong, If Middleton doesn't get injured the Bucks repeat

[Rudeboy3]

The title says it all, Giannis should be a 2-time FMVP rn, being discussed as a top 10 player of all time at 27, but that bitch Middleton had to ****ing slip on a wet spot. The things Giannis would have done to golden State's weak-ass paint defense would have been banned in multiple countries.

[Shogon]

Nobody can "prove" anything in a hypothetical, but nevertheless, the 2 regular season games split... probably would have been a more interesting series, but Golden State was the best team in the league last year.. not Milwaukee. The Bucks didn't have the depth to compete in a 7 game series.

[tontoz]

The what if game happens every year. Part of winning a title is health. Nothing to see here.

[Axe]

You're almost two months late in telling us this shocking story, op.

[hold this L]

If Nets don't get injured 2 seasons ago, Giannis is a championship virgin. See how easy it can be write pointless things?

[Rudeboy3]

We're talking about this season sweetie

[Rudeboy3]

I have a life, sorry i don't live and breathe insidehoops

[hold this L]

We're talking about this season sweetie
Enjoy reality in the meantime then darling.

You're mad, the bucks had the best player in the league. That's all you need. Giannis would have dad dicked them, the bucks lost the rs series against the suns in 2021 and guess what? Bucks ran off 4 straight Ws in the finals, regular season and post season aren't the same playboi

[Rudeboy3]

In reality steph isn't even top 25

I wouldn't classify them as "pointless" but rather just complete speculation... can be a fun thought experiment.

If everyone is healthy and all things go as they should, let's run back the "should be" champs since 2015...

2015 - Cavs
2016 - Warriors
2017 - Warriors
2018 - Warriors
2019 - Warriors
2020 - No telling here because of the introduction of Covid. But let's say Lakers.
2021 - Nets
2022 - Nets / Warriors (unsure)... probably Nets.


BTW, 2020 and beyond could also potentially be "should be" Warriors because maybe Durant doesn't get salty with the organization and stays and they continue to win because he's healthy and never gets re-injured in a major way due to feeling pressure to return. But he probably still leaves because clearly he and Kyrie were in discussions prior to any health issues.

The very same bucks team that won the last two games in the ecf without your hero the previous year.

Are you ignoring how many what ifs fell in the favor of Bucks the year before? From the nets series...
What if Durant's toe wasn't on the line? What if the Nets didn't have a lame hamstring Harden? What if Kyrie played the entire series?

Bucks won. Dubs won. They are both champs. What ifs dont matter.

[tontoz]

Funny how OP hadn't posted for months until this thread. Maybe he just got out of rehab.

[Gohan]

Name 25 better

Name 10 better than allen iverson








But heres a catch: there name has to start with Y

[Jasper]

I like OP thought process , but the Bucks bench was weak last year , because the gave up Donte for Upaka ...

I still think dragic could of helped us compared to his buddy Nash's Nets.

Yeah, Bucks & Giannis fans have no right to complain about injuries or bad luck :lol Everything you outlined in the Nets series, having arguably their two biggest threats in the western conference also fall due to injury, and even in the Finals, the Bucks were down 2-0 and won several close games, and would've been down 3-1 if not for an atrocious CP3 performance.

The trend over the last 7 years seems to be whoever avoids injury wins, but the injuries in 2021 were absolutely ridiculous, and I doubt we ever see another postseason with a string of injuries like that again.

[Johnny32]

If lebron and ad weren't hurt the last two years the lakers are going for a 4-peat next summer. Prove me wrong.

Golden State? It's not a foregone conclusion they still would have beaten Boston in round 2.

[SouBeachTalents]

They took them to 7 with Middleton missing the entire series. I think it's safe to assume the foregone conclusion would be Middleton provides them at minimum one extra win if he plays in the series.

[Atlantis]

I have to agree with you there.

Giannis would have DOMINATED.

[Stephonit]

On what basis are people thinking that the Bucks would have won? Is beating the Suns last year supposed to prove that they would have won this year when the Suns looked even better this year but flamed out when they met someone with mental fortitude in Doncic? Did the Bucks have a better regular season record this year?

I don't really see the evidence of the Bucks being that much better that they should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Fair point. GS actually had a better record in the regular season even though they had far more injury problems. Dray/Klay/Steph didnt really play together all season until the playoffs.

Bucks tbf also have the popular pick for best player in the world and the best big 3 in the league for now with enough other pieces. They’re a very talented team who play well together

[Akeem34TheDream]

I would have picked the Bucks too but yeah it doesnt mean much.

Where do the Bucks big 3 rank all-time in your view? How about the Warriors big 3?

[SouBeachTalents]

That's frankly irrelevant to this thread. In terms of today, the Bucks big 3 imo is better than the Warriors. I'd give the nod to Giannis over Curry but that's obv extremely debatable, but Middleton/Jrue are definitely better than the current versions of Klay/Dray.

[NBAGOAT]

This isnt 2016, none of the warriors big 3 is as good as they were back then. Warriors are deeper team yes but don’t overlook lopez portis Connaughton and potentially ingles

It's irrelevant to this thread when the Warriors just won a championship for the fourth time?

I do hope you are noticing how illogical some of the conclusions you are coming to are given the circumstances.

It is irrelevant when Wiggins is likely one of the top 3 warriors right now. The spurs title in 07 does not have too much relation to how talented their team was from 13-15 which is a comparable time table. yes it’s been that long for the warriors core since their last title pre Durant

What's a greater backcourt: Curry and Klay or Harden and CP3?

You're going to pick Harden and CP3?

[Full Court]

I think the Bucks had a better chance than the Celtics. In fact, I slightly favored the Bucks to win over the Warriors, but it's a "what if" we'll never know.

[NBAGOAT]

I don’t get your point here but considering gs needed kd to beat harden/cp3 why couldn’t I pick the 2nd

[Stephonit]

Because the Dubs didn't need KD to eliminate Harden and CP3.

You seem to be showing symptoms of PCTSD. I'd have someone run a check.

And this exactly happened when?

[Stephonit]

And this exactly happened when?

The time Curry spotted them a scoreless first half but still ended up winning.

Again, that you cannot remember suggests PCTSD. Please have a trusted health professional take a look.

lmao, the series went to 7, without Middleton, a 20ppg scorer who always for some reason, lights up the celtics when the bucks play them. Bucks would have won in 5 if Middleton played

There's nothing debatable about it, Giannis is better than curry, don't let his cheap FMVP of Jayson Tatum fool you, curry would have gotten hoe'd by Giannis

[RRR3]

don't tell me what to do
Yeah I thought so. You can’t do it :lol

[Rudeboy3]

Yeah I thought so. You can’t do it :lol

I can, just not on your command. I play to my own speed, i don't conform to you ***** boi

LeBron was 100% and in his prime when he choked and lost in 2011 after teaming up with the 2nd and 4th highest per not only in his league but in his historically weak eastern conference as well. Only to be outscored by Jason Terry in the NBA finals despite LeBron logging in 67 more minutes.

It's a possbility, I think the Celtics swept them during the regular season with Middleton if I'm not mistaken

If not for Middleton carrying the Bucks in games 5 and 6 against the Hawks in last years ECF.... the Freak would have zero rings.

[eliteballer]

Them and the Warriors is probably a toss up.

[ClipperRevival]

Agreed with OP. I think if healthy, I would've favored them to win it all.

[Rudeboy3]

Them and the Warriors is probably a toss up.

Not really if Giannis was dropping 40 bombs against the Celtics strong defense, imagine wtf he'd be doing against the warrior's shitty interior defense?

This thread is about Giannis, no one gives a shit about washed up bron, keep this bs out of my thread

[Derka]

There's no "proving" a hypothetical like this, but I'm a Celtics fan and I'm not of the opinion that we beat the Bucks if they have Middleton.
