Not sure what happened there, Mirotic was a beast for us in the playoffs last year on both ends.

Bud can coach. IMO we ran into a buzz saw. They were unconscious with their shooting and had a lot of bounces go their way. I still think the 2007 + 2011 Packers teams were better than the Gmen but things went south there too. That's sports. The best team doesn't always win sometimes.

It's more about who was better than day, who was hotter, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 For as good as Giannis is, he needs to take his game up another level or two. I don't think that's asking too much, either. He still has plenty of room to improve and I'm sure he will continue to do so. It's what was asked of guys like LeBron, Durant, Kawhi, Curry, etc. When you're elite, you always will be asked to do more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best team doesn't always win sometimes. This is not meant to make anyone upset, but I absolutely think that the coaching and adjustments were a big issue. Raptors had a really solid plan for the final 4 games, and there wasn't really much of an adjustment from Bud. I don't have a solution, the supporting cast missed a ton of shots that they could have made. For how the Raptors played him, Giannis did his job when he got the ball out, he could have done it more consistently, but he probably won't see a defense as good as Toronto again for a while. All in all I think the two teams were just about as closely matched as they could have been. Giannis definitely has the highest ceiling of anyone in the league, it hurt him to not have the ability to hit shots away from the rim when he was 1 on 1 ( he nailed a few mid range shots in the last couple games, but not a lot) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Been kinda annoyed by Eric Nehm lately but this article is candid as can be with Giannis, if you all have an Athletic subscription (if not, do the free trial just to read this). https://theathletic.com/1001604/ Giannis talks about learning from Kawhi and starting to think like a guard again to address what happened in the Raptors series. I have no doubt this kid is going to come out with a fire next year and learn from this. Excited af already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite part of this story is that essentially, our second-best player couldn’t do enough to justify being guarded by Kawhi, our third-best player was being dared to shoot, leading to Giannis being faced with one of the five best defenders in the game, a 7-0 center and a point guard, often simultaneously, and the problem was that Giannis didn’t have a mid-range game lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I really know about Taylor Jenkins is he was the guy that kept everyone on the bench when on court stuff broke out. Quick reaction time, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 All signs point to Khris coming back. Really, really not excited to see that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Locking ourselves into no championships with Giannis. Then again Giannis' largest fault seems to be loyalty so we may have had to do this to keep him. Sounds like 5 years slightly under the max.
