I'd argue that Giannis, Middleton and Jrue have plenty in reserve. There issues are more execution/consistency.
Its game 7 breh, none of that matters. I aint see the Bucks win in BK yet so i'm going with the logical choice. If the Bucks held home court then I would pick them

2017 finals

35/8/5 off 55/47/92 with elite rim protection

What the hell are you saying? :mjtf:

It's telling that nothing but Bron stans dapped this bullshyt
:mjlol:.

Get KD's nuts out of your nostrils:heh:. Dude was left single-covered all series, and he wasn't even the primary focus for the Cavs. nikka was the 3rd best defender on that team:mjlol:. Who tf did he protect the rim from? J.R. Smith:mjlol:? Tristan Thompson:pachaha:?

It damn sure wasn't LeBron:mjlol:. nikka averaged 33 on 56% from the field.

Rent. Free. :russ:

Bron was mediocre all series long, none of his games were a very big aberration from the norm. He played well in bursts but couldn't maintain it, coming back from injury 2 games before the playoffs at this age he obviously didn't have his normal mojo. It is what it is.

The fact that you tried desperately to shoehorn Bron in with a meaningless comparison is :deadrose:
rewind the tape you mentioned Bron 1st

Bron still only managed to get 1 single game in the 2017 and 2018 finals.

Brooklyn role players are absolutely ass. That shyt was basically Kevin Durant (after unleashing five gates last game), Landry Shamet, and a one-legged Harden vs. the Bucks

Durant ain't gonna have the chakra left for a Game 7
No one was saying that when Blake/Joe/Mike were hitting 11-22 threes in Game 1. The Nets still have pieces, they just have a poorly constructed team. Similar to Miami in 2011, in fact the Nets have MUCH better role players than that Miami team did, it's just that they now have injuries which exposes the holes in the team that much more. For #4-#7 these guys aren't bad:

Joe Harris averaged 14-4-2 on 51/48/78 shooting this year and is one of the best shooters in the league.

Jeff Green averaged 11/3/4 on 49/41/78 shooting this year and has been an above-average player his whole career.

Blake Griffin averaged 10/5/2 on 49/38/78 shooting this year and is still an above-average player when engaged even at this age.

Laundry Shamet averaged 9-2-2 on 41/39/85 shooting this year and is a decent piece for a 7th/8th man.

And Claxton, Brown, DeAndre, Johnson aren't terrible players to have at the end of your bench.


Before the injuries the Nets had a decently filled-out roster. The issues are that their stars were far too weighted towards offense rather than defense, their chemistry was shyt all year due to guys coming in and out, and obviously the injuries to Kyrie/Harden have hit them in the core.

Everything matters.

You can't just marginalize this down to who's won on their home floor and who hasn't. Homecourt advantage plays a pivotal part, but it's not the entire picture. The Bucks were a Giannis-fumble away from beating the Nets on their home floor, and that was with an otherworldly 48-min performance from Durant that isn't easily replicated.

I think you're putting far too much emphasis on HCA and ignoring other just as important factors.

Liar.


No one was talking about Brons play at all, the nephew-molester just made a random jibe at Bron stans that I replied to. You were the first one to bring up Bron's play, then started talking about shyt that literally no one in the thread was talking about and had to make the most convoluted fukking comparison that didn't even make sense to wedge it in.

Not even third. Draymond-Klay-Iggy all >>>> KD on defense. KD overall played defense well that season but he had the levers on easy surrounded by 3 of the top defenders in the NBA and covering guys like Richard Jefferson and Kevin Love most of the time with only fresh spot duty on LBJ.

Kd aint going for 50 and triple double. Theres no more miracles left. Harden is hurt, kyrie is out. The Bucks will win
Nets role players will make more shots at home and Middleton is not going to shoot 70% again :manny:

KD is the only one in this series who's had experience winning Game 7s, but he's only one man, who as I need to reiterate, is near the end of his prime, coming off a significant injury, playing max minutes in this series. His sidekick is struggling because he isn't healthy, and the rest of the players on the roster don't move the needle.

That doesn't mean the Bucks are guaranteed to win, but they certainly need less to go their way because of the cards they hold.
Harden won a game seven against Chris Paul. :manny:

The Bucks aint win any games in BK, i'm going off that. Game 7 is in BK, you can pyscho analyze and do the busy work but it still doesn't change that fact so far.
