Should KD have gone to Miami?

Yesterday 1:35 pm

Seems like would have been a better fit than PHX. Great culture in place with great role players, he wouldn’t have to do anything other than score points. He thrived with great system and coaching before in GS. Seems he’s exactly what this heat team is missing and what he is missing since he likes to ball but not really lead.


Shame on you Eastern Conference...shame on you.

Yesterday 3:15 am

Seriously...Absolutely shameful.

We could have had Bucks - Nugs

Boston - Nugs


Instead we got this....**** STRUSS out there bro.

Giannis got injured. It is what it is. Decides the playoffs quite a bit.

Upsets early in the playoffs are always fun in the moment, but most of the time you get less competitive basketball in later rounds because of it.

Thanks TMZ

Yea I don't know how the Nugs would've been able to handle Giannis. He would have a field day charging the paint.

But what it is right now is Miami is fatigued from running an underdog gauntlet. Butler in the 1st round looked like Michael Jordan. He looks like a shell now. He's beat up and tired from having to carry through so many tough series. And this is verifiable by the fact the bucks defense is way better than Denvers, yet he's playing far worse.

Worst kind of fan, who gets mad that the "right team" doesn't make it instead of celebrating those that do.

Why would Boston or Milwaukee be a better finals team than Miami? They're clearly not as good. Weird.

Milwaukee's better than Miami. It took Giannis missing half the series and Butler going nuclear for them to win that series.

What do you mean, as a team? Giannis vs Butler?

[FultzNationRISE]

Styles make fights. Teams just all match up differently against each other. One squad could look big time against this opponent and awful vs that opponent, even if theyre all similar caliber. Just have to live with it.

Giannis got injured. It is what it is. Decides the playoffs quite a bit.Word. The very second Milwaukee / Brook Lopez got eliminated, I said “This will be Denver’s first NBA championship.” And everyone was like “nah!!! … Phoenix/LA/Warriors/Celtics/76ers/etc” and I just couldn’t see any of those squads beating a “finally healthy” Denver squad.

What do you think I mean :lol Of course as a team. I'm not even trying to take anything away from Miami, but they caught a huge break Giannis missed several games, then had Butler pull off two GOAT tier performances to steal the 2 games Giannis played.

The bucks won without Giannis even playing. The main thing was Butler was fresh and went Jordan mode. If butler could do that vs Denver we'd have a tight series.

[Dbrog]

What those dudes don't understand is mental toughness matters. Jimmy went full Jordan like yall are saying against the Bucks and Boston is the softest mentally weak team in a long while, Suns are second tho when cp isn't playing (KD individually the most soft player in the league). These teams are definitely the best ones this year and deserve to be in the finals

Real GM are a bunch of nerds.

One game.

Where the Bucks had a 20 points lead in the 1st half (12/21 3pointers), and Spoelstra decided to rest his starters.

Unless, of course, if you are trying to say that a healthy Giannis would have made no difference :rolleyes:

[Full Court]

Wow. Two threads. That's quite the meltdown.
