Series Thread: 2nd Round: Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets

[tlance]

Does Durant Surpass Lebron this year with a title/FMVP?

Today?

For sure.

All time?

Not even in the ballpark of being close.

 

[tlance]

Giannis shouldn't have signed back

We said that

 

[tlance]

I am telling them to step aside while I shoot it myself.

BKS is right, though. He shouldn't have...

He is.

We discussed that last summer and that was the consensus.

There was no good reason for him to extend when he did. So when he asks to be traded in a year or two, this was his mess that he created unnecessarily.

Or maybe the Bucks just didn't shoot well?

The Bucks looked unstoppable against the Heat and lost against the Nets in 2 games. I have a hard time believing that the Nets are a dramatically better defensive team than the Heat.

The Nets have looked really good but I think we should see how the games in Milwaukee go before anointing the Nets.

I agree about seeing how the games go in Milwaukee BUT my biggest concern is their defense. Sure they'll make more shots at home but can you get stops? They are clueless on defense right now

I'm in a catch 22 right now. I want KD to win....but I want Kyrie and Harden to lose. Weird conundrum.

 

[DJ]

I'm starting to evolve a little on KD. Sure he's emo and weird and he doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't want to be these people's role model (Barkley anyone?). He's a superhero on the court and off the court he's teenage Groot making burner accounts and trolling like we do here.

Do we need another star who says and does everything boring and bland and perfect and calculated? We have those already....

Maybe he he is here......hmmmmmm.

Well, Harden is hurt.

Maybe Kyrie decides to take another mental break and KD can win by himself?

It is just so strange how different the Bucks play in the playoffs, especially on D.

Theoretically they should be able to D up pretty well with the Nets. Holliday and Giannis and Tucker offer some pretty good choices.

That is all good in theory,

But you have to be able to score to beat the Nets. Thankfully their defense is beatable, but the Bucks haven’t been able to crack it yet.

Biggest problem was that they couldn't hit 3's. They hit about 25% over the 2 games after hitting 39% in the regular season.

Brogdon is not a bad player by any stretch, but he came to the Pacers to be a #1 ball-handler (beyond the fact that he did not like Milwaukee the city), and his efficiency fell off a cliff his first season here. And he is always hurt at inopportune times. While I wouldn’t trade that guy for a bag of chips (THT), the idea of him as a #2 on a title contender is laughable...

Who said Brogdon was a #2 option?

Why do you want KD to win? I'd thought a GS fan would be salty about KD's departure.

The issue with that, is the guys you have to guard. Namely Durant. Don't matter who you put on him. Hes getting his shot off.

Just pray hes off.

Does Durant Surpass Lebron this year with a title/FMVP?

He passed Lebitch a long time ago. Lebron isn't even top 5 in the league let alone all time.

I love KD and his attitude. Any parent that relies on celebrities and athletes to raise their children are shitty parents.

LeBron is the best player of his generation and absolutely a top 5 player all time. He’s going to finish top 10 all time in points and assists. I don’t think there’s another player in NBA history that is top ten for both points and assists.

Don't care. His lack of heart, diva attitude, and ring chasing tarnished his legacy. Top 5 all time are MJ, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Kobe
