Harden was right about Giannis

@StumpTownStu

 WTF why you spewing then

Very high basketball IQ but LeBron's lucrative business and investment portfolio is extremely impressive so he doesn't have to be a Rhodes Scholar.

I think you're looking for the wrong skills from a power forward. Call me old fashion but he checks the boxes for me. High FG%. DD rebounds. A block every game. I'm a Warriors fan. I can't tell you how many times during the championship runs I wish they had someone that could score in the low post. Get a high % bucket.

I wasn't hating, I was defending.

Why are you spewing? I just hate when people who clearly know nothing about a subject talk a bunch of shit. No beef though. That's what these forums are for.

@StumpTownStu

 I am also a Warriors fan  and didn't hop on the bandwagon in the last decade either haha. Giannis is nowhere near a prototypical 4 like a Duncan, Malone etc.. he is a great player but IMO his numbers are padded (in the sense of what they look like on paper compared to watching with your eyes and seeing his game) 

Cant compare Tim Duncan to Giannis. Different skill set and different era. Tim Duncan had an amazing mid range.

Giannis still needs to develop a shot. I can’t recall who said it, believe it was on ESPN.

Yet, gentlemen mentioned that Giannis doesn’t have a go to shot. 

Yeah, no bandwagons here. Born and raised in Oakland. Went to my first Warriors game when I was 3. Watched them suck for 30 years before they started to get good.

@StumpTownStu

 I can confidently say that I'm about a 70/80% Rick Barry underhand FT shooter 

Dumbokounmpo and other Bucks players have low basketball IQs. I have been saying this for 3 years now. They should be light years ahead of Brooklyn in terms of team chemistry and championship metal, but they still look like mental midgets to me. With Harden out, I truly believe they should win this series, and maybe they will, but if they don’t it’s because they are a dumb team lead by a dumb superstar who can’t shoot free throws, makes too many mistakes, and doesn’t understand situational basketball and plays the same predictable way all the time. 

@Cerebral

 He scored the most points in the GAME... Lol. 

Did Jeff Teague really play 14 minutes tonight? Coach Bud is joking right? Maybe Giannis can play 40 mins in game 2 but I wouldn't bet on it..

You are right to harp on coach Bud. But let’s see if he goes down 0-2 before we bury him.

@AmAcorX

 And still was the 3rd best player on the court
