never been a fan of long lines.

Yes he has. And more than 1 bad game.

Again, how does that make him consistent?

We are all waiting for your response there.

And we are still waiting

Role players always better at home.

Indeed, and when teams are this evenly matched that makes a difference. Suns in 7 feels strong.

The key role players in this series been consistent. The only player who play dropped significantly on the road been Bridges. Not a drop off from the other guys in road games so far in this series

Spoken like a man who has never played sports ever in his life.

Only the best of the best have a chance to react the way Giannis did on that play.

I don’t how many guys in the history of the NBA who were agile and quick enough to make that play
without fouling, but it isn’t a lot.

Bill Russell, Ben Wallace, maybe a couple more like Bam….

But it is a short list.

Bayless is such an idiot. He's literally the only person I've heard say that. Everyone else has been comparing it to Lebron's chase down block on Iguodala.

LeBron’s block was absolutely spectacular.

But, that play was as much about the moment as it was the play. Down the stretch of game 7 and if Iggy makes that layup, there is a good chance the outcome would have been different.

I think if we are only measuring the play and taking away the context, the Giannis block was better.

Part of why I say the list of guys who can make that play is so short is because he was guarding the big and hedging the pick and roll.

I do think LeBron was once athletic enough to make that block, but he would have never been in that situation because he doesn’t guard bigs like Ayton.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, that's basically how the folks that were comparing them broke it down. Lebron's block was more impactful because of the situation. But what Giannis did was actually the more difficult play.

As good as he is, I don't think AD makes that play without fouling. It required a combination of quickness, athleticism and explosiveness that very, very few have. Especially at that size.

Still waiting lol

Yeah, I agree.

AD might make it. He tends to find a way to contest plays that he really doesn’t have any business contesting. I wouldn’t rule it out but wouldn’t bet on it either.

Bucks win this one tonight

 

[msgkings322]

This is exactly what I mean. Game 4 the Bucks (at home) had only 5 turnovers the whole game. Now on the road they already have 4, halfway through the 1st quarter.
