tom cody Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Good win for the Raptors last night. A win over the Lakers despite Lowry and Ibaka being out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I knew we expected the Warriors to take a tumble, but wow, they're literally an entirely different team from last year right now and it's showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how did LeBron hold the mantle for so long even though he hasn't been the best regular season player since his Miami days? It was because in the postseason he was clearly the best player and dominated like no one else. Giannis is a monster and was great up until late in the Raptors series. Maybe this is the year he takes that mantle but definitely not yet. Regardless of how he plays in the regular season. And of course we have to wait to see how KD comes back. He was still the best player before his Achilles injury. Edited November 11, 2019 by J-ALL-DAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way am I letting him take the fall for that. But y'all do what you gotta do and think what you gotta think, as wrong as it may be. The difference in that series was Kawhi's teammates hit shots, Giannis's didn't. But, sure, narratives and such. Have fun with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun with that. Nope. Kawhi flat out was better than him and was able to take over and make plays that Giannis wasn't. That is no "narrative" being created, just reality. And it's not about Giannis "taking the fall" for the loss, just simply put that Kawhi was the superior player. Either way, Giannis can't take the mantle until the playoffs, that's the biggest point here. 19 minutes ago, Bullet Club said: Kawhi can't even play a full season.

Don't give AF as long as he continues to kill it in the postseason and put the team on his back as he did the last two postseasons. He's had some epic postseason runs. That matters more to me than him missing 20 or so regular season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the squad has a bunch of G-league type of talent and don't have Steph. Obviously the team was playing bad even with Steph, but eventually it was going to turn some. And really it has, despite the results. The team is being more competitive now and look competent offensively...defensively? Yeah, that's a different story lol.

Have fun with that. He might just need to develop a counter to 3 guys in the lane. That's my biggest issue personally. He's like a running back lol he needs to get some sort of counter. But he's not "taking the fall." There is nothing unreasonable about a dude having to perform at the highest level in the playoffs consistently to get that title for best player in the world. Giannis has won 2 playoff series (in the East......so like....................does it really even count lol) and I need to see more in the playoffs before I give him that respect.
