You are right, Giannis probably won't average 37 points per game but that doesn't diminish his contribution to the Bucks. Without him they are just average.
I would say that, but I don't believe in lying.You're earning more respect. Now, eating crow is the next step. Just say GD you were right and I was wrong. GD you're the prophet and I apologize for doubting your greatness. I believe in you and will never doubt you again.
I'm certain none of you would've ever responded if you didn't care at all. Now that I've been proven right so many times you've given up and run out of excuses to make.
I would say that, but I don't believe in lying.
Where was the update today guys? I have to do all the hard work it appears.
Giannis with 11 reb 5 ast with 33 points but 0 stl and 0blk but they got the W.
Overall he was slightly below average today on offense but terrible on defense.
Overall Grade C-.
Season averages still slightly better than I projected at 6 games into the season.
Was he actually below average on defense though?
I did not watch the game so I don't know. My bet is that you are assuming he had a bad defensive game because of no defensive stats. Blocks and steals don't tell the whole story there.
Giannis Antetokounmpo shot 11-of-12 inside the paint on Sunday, including 10-of-10 inside the restricted area. Over the last 20 years, the only player to average 20 points in the paint per game over a season is Shaquille O'Neal, who did it four straight seasons from 1998-2002; Antetokounmpo is currently averaging 23.7. (ESPN Stats & Info)
He may as well just forget about the mid range and just take wide open three's and continue to dominate the paint.
What I've seen is that Giannis has become an elite finisher. It's one thing to have the size and athleticism, but being able to finish is what will make him great. I agree in that he should forget about midrange shots, if only because mid range shots are the least valuable. All he needs is a set shot 3 pointer and he'll be completely unguardable one on one.
Don't look now but he's at .333 at the three point line now.
He's unarguable right now in transition for sure. If he develops a 3 point shot at 40% that would break the NBA. That's like shaq having a three point jumper and FT shot. That's at least 40 ppg right there. He's at 35 ppg which many don't believe is sustainable but we shall see. I don't think these 6 games are just some magical fluke and as I pointed out last season his first 4-6 game averages were nearly identical to his season averages. Hopefully he will learn to eliminate those mid range 2 point shots as it's the logical choice. Dominate the paint and take wide open three's.
He could have went for 50...but from the looks of it, it wouldn't have changed the result. Not one single other player in double figures. No reason for him to pad stats if it's not gonna get the team anywhere.Giannis had only 28 points 8 reb, 3 ast and a steal but was limited to 28 minutes of playing time because the Bucks sucked today other than Giannis. He just couldn't beat 3 stars by himself. He hit 2 three's on 2/3 shooting and was very efficient but he barely played over 1 half of basketball. He could've easily dropped 50 points tonight. Way to coach them up J Kidd.

This thread is basically like an overreaction to every game that Giannis plays. It's incredible.
