1. yes. role players and second options decide games. If star on team A scores 30-40pts and star on team B scores 30-40pts then the game comes down to who has the best second options, role players knocking down shots and the bench. A recent clear example of that is KD having a crazy game 7, but Joe Harris missing wide open jumpers late that would’ve won BKN the game.

the stars washed each other out as KD and Giannis both have 40+ . So it’s up to the rest of the team to decide the game.

You gonna act like “Lebron needs more help” ain’t a narrative on the board?

The rest of your diatribe was all speculative.
“you’re too young blah blah blah”

injuries are apart of the game. That’s where depth and having the best TEAM comes into play. The best players may not be in the final four but the best teams are.


The true crux of your angst is in your “ps”. Trae Young is not a star because still benefited from the coli says he’s not… ok:heh:

:umad:


So essentially if the star on team B doesn't score 30-40, team B can't do a damn thing with team A who has a star ? Glad you just broke down why stars decide games and not role players lol. The reason nobody uses the logic your using with role players because role players go the way of the star,if that player is truly a star:wow:.

If you want to bring up the final four/college,it would make more sense to say "coaching decides games" then to say some nonsense like "role players decide games smh. That is actually a true statement in the NBA as well.

Stars>>Coaching>>>Role players

If you love role players so much,you would take a team with a deeper bench over a healthy Nets right? Also Trae was just a sidenote of what I had to say,I literally just forgot to talk about him while I was typing,and squeezed it in at the end. Then forgot about him again just now,even though I'm in a thread about his team.

I don’t know what else to tell you:francis:

I gave you a real life example. That example will continue to play out throughout the remainder of these playoffs. Also, I never said stars don’t matter. I said second options, role players and benches decide games, especially if team a and team b each have a star that put up similar numbers.

No Star is out here winning by themselves.

Depth>>>
Can’t play KD 48 mins back to back and not expect that airball in game 7. He was done.

The Bucks have a better roster up and down (without Giannis) remaining than the Clippers do. The only thing they don't have is the experienced HC in Lue. Let's not have revisionist history about Reggie Jackson as a player because of this years playoffs.

Let's also not sit here and pretend like people on here weren't giving props to Middleton because of his performance in Game 3.
Ehhh I’m not so sure on that

And we can only judge Reggie Jackson on the level he’s playing at now the past is irrelevant he had a really good season and now he’s getting more usage. We can say a lot about him but going back to OKC days we know he’s talented.

I’ve hyper extended my knee twice before landing off a jump

both times I thought someone kicked me in the knee that’s what it felt like

I doubt my shyt went all the way back like Giannis’ did (I kept playing) but I know a hyper extended knee isn’t the end of the world

hope giannis can get back by at least game 6

anyhoo bucks in 6 only due to unforeseen circumstances

Otherwise the little hawks woulda been outta here in 5
Hawls were stomping the bucks even before giannis got hurt

Plus the hawks are really good on the road

The hawks lead increased by a lot in the 2nd half
They were up 13 at half

went up 16 momentarily in the 3rd quarter

then Milwaukee started closing the gap and got the lead down to 7 at one point

then Giannis went out and it was basically all downhill from there

why are hawks fans so dishonest :snoop:
