Giannis is turning it the fukk up lately

I think wins and a strong performance against Embiid and jokic head to head might get him the mvp

All agendas and fandom aside, it hit me last last night just how wild it is to be witnessing this period of 3 legit bigs absolutely dominating the league with mutlifaceted games.

Bam, Porzingis, and Myles Turner are also ultra-skilled and they're mostly afterthoughts. BroLo paired with Giannis is such a cheat code. I just can't seethe Bucks losing a 7 game series with those two, Jrue, and their supporting cast.
I hate them. I was there in Brooklyn. KD had them :francis:. Why Kai X and Harden had to go down?

They're like 40-13 when he plays 32/12/6

He's a candidate
I'm not saying he's NOT a candidate, because I don't have control over what the media believes. I'm simply saying he hasn't been as consistent as Embiid and Jokic and thus doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside them, along with a number of other factors (e.g. the Bucks being 11-6 without him).

Truth be told, this is his worst season in recent years. Inconsistent on offense and no notable impact on defense (not in relation to what his teammates are doing).

The fact that AD and KAT didn't even make it into this comment.....hell, or even Sabonis, JJJ, and Randle.

I was considering people who play mostly centerā€¦. AD I just forgot. KAT hasnā€™t played and although heā€™s a supreme talent I think heā€™s a clown and a waste and a loser. Domas is my guy, pure oversight. JJJ aight. Randleā€¦ I consider him a bully-slashing PF/SF type.

Heā€™s the only player thatā€™s been top 3 in both of the straw polls that have come outā€¦was a close 2nd place during the first third of the season, and 2nd again once Jokic jumped to the head of the raceā€¦.literally the only player thatā€™s been ā€œin the conversationā€ the entire seasonā€¦been averaging some variation of 30ish points 12rbs and 5ast with all nba first team defense all year, but he was ā€œhorribly inconsistentā€ because he wasnā€™t also at career best shooting efficiency on top of that :mjlol:

But then he has the nerve to talk about people having ā€œagendasā€
That nikka retarded... :heh:

Giannis over the first third of the season -

Shooting 25% on all shots (besides at the rim)
54 eFG% - lowest since 2017 (to put into perspective Jokic has a 66 eFG%)
58 TS% - lowest since 2016 (to put into perspective Jokic has a 70 TS%)
65 FT% - second-lowest of his career
40 percentile for halfcourt scoring.


Efficiency matters, and Giannis has been anything but efficient.

He's only averaging 32 points purely because of how many shots he's putting up.

A lot of that had to do with the extra defensive attention he's been getting without Middleton, and that affected his play. He simply struggled to generate consistent offense in the halfcourt on the regular - I've made note of this many a time this season. Embiid and Jokic have both been definitively more consistent, like it's not even remotely close. Giannis has been great over the last 10 or so games, but his season has to be weighed in its entirety.
Is that not "horribly inconsistent" to you? @TheNig

A simple yes or no question.
