Giannis is better than pg in my opinion. Definitely less skilled but I'd rather have giannis

Im no PG13 Stanbut I’d rather have PG13 right now. 3 years from now? Probably a different answer.

Bucks had a pathetic performance last night. But it sucks he went down and these playoffs are essentially a huge asterisk. Actually, I think the last two years are.

Regardless of if you have watched last night's Bucks vs Hawks Game 4, please check out this amazing Shot of the Night by Clint Capela from all angles.

I know according to High School basketball rules, that is out of bounds. A ball going over square backboard, either way, is a turnover. No idea if it is supposed to be that way in college or the NBA.

The announce team said that rule was changed in the NBA.

Giannis is not Lebron. If again is were even PG13 it would get talked about more. He’s just not there yet. He’s Clyde Drexler at this point in his career.

Giannis is bigger than PG13. I get he’s not LeBron, but he’s a top 10 player currently.

I think Giannis in some ways is still learning basketball and looks like he's still figuring out where he's strongest.

He's 26 and there's been plenty of pro players that got to around 30 to really be at their overall best.

At this rate there won't be any stars in the finals. This isn't the playoffs the league office needed right after losing all that money. Then again, considering the players have basically played two seasons back to back without much of a break, it's probably the finals they deserved.

Clippers alway seem to come back. Will they again tonight?

I have to say the way these two teams have been going, I say it goes 7 games.

Of course Suns win due to Abdul Nader's last second shot!

Suns came out last game acting like they had the game in the bag because they were at home. They need to learn from Milwaukee last night and come out with a sense of urgency from the tip.

I'll take a 9 point lead at half, when Clippers rarely lose at home.

They closed out Lakers in 6 at Staples. Hopefully tonight the same will happen again with the Clips.

I heard the report of no structural damage to Giannis' knee, but is he out for the rest of the series?

Doubtful Game 5. After that ???

 

[heitclone]

If there is no damage, I wouldn't be surprised if Giannis ended up playing tomorrow. At minimum, he's a lock for game 6.

Nice point! Lakers were down that game. Not sure Clippers will go away easily.

Crazy to hear Lue and Williams both turned down the Lakers.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

HELL ****ING YEAH BABY! UGH!!!!!!!!

Because face it LeBron calls the shots. The coach is just there for decoration.

Clippers aren't going away without a fight. I don't like them but it's tough not to respect how they've battled without Kawhi.
