Yes, Giannis is one solid player inside and even shooting in two pointer area.

He now also shoot from the 3 point land, he's more flexible now and adds more threat outside.

Quote from: erikoy on July 15, 2020, 11:56:08 PM

Only if he will be also team up with a good player with good shooting skills then definitely they could have chance in winning championship.

He already have good teammates, it's just the maturities and chemistries not to lean that much to him is what the team needed to developed.

Quote from: erikoy on July 15, 2020, 11:56:08 PM

He just need support to carry the team. There is a high chance that he could be like Lebron James on his playing ability. He just need to keep up what he's doing and if can win this game then pretty sure he will probably surpass Lebron.

He already have that intensity after being named as MVP, he have lots of room to improved and more skills to developed.

Quote from: erikoy on July 15, 2020, 11:56:08 PM

Lebrob started his career in Cavaliers but he did not able to carry the team to championship.

Same with Durant, they've needed to seek help from a co-Superstar to win the ring.

Giannis is a bit more than a solid inside. This year is perfect for some surprise, and Bucks are definitely among those teams that I would like to see winning the championship. They have what it takes, all they need is to stay healthy, but that is biggest issue at the moment.

I think we have already seen what Giannis can do, he can't carry his team alone and last playoffs was just a disappointment for the fans, not on Giannis but for the Team as a whole, hopefully they can help Giannis this time around.

Good news for all Pacers fans, Oladipo changed his mind and now he is considering playing this season. Let's just hope he is really healthy and ready for this. but I guess he knows bst what he can and what he can't do.

Quote

I was always going to come down here and test it out. That was always part of the plan," Oladipo said. "When I made my decision I didn't think I could play. I wasn't able to play 5-on-5. I wasn't able to get up and down. I wasn't able to practice with the team.

"I wasn't able to do necessarily game-like things at a high level. After coming down here, reassessing every day out there playing 5-on-5 with these guys, moving around, doing basketball-related things like rebounding, change of speed, changing ends of the floor, running, doing things basketball-related, I'm trending in a positive direction."

I don't know if I'll be happy with that, I hope he is not forcing himself, if he gets himself re-injured, that might cause his future in basketball.

He's got a good shooters in him; Middleton, Korver, Ilyasovva though the presence of the latter players hasn't been confirmed yet but I think they are the one that can help with ouside shooting, even Matthews and Hill are reliable for it. Overall it's all team effort that matters if they want to win the championship. Middleton and Korver are numbers 8 and 9 on the 3Point FG%

They don't want even a scratch or it will blow with a big injury.

The cases in Florida are pumping, what is the chance that there might be another shutdown there?

If all players are in the premises then there is still a chance to play even with the shutdown.
Just use strict quarantine that no one will get in or out the premises.
Super lockdown and even individual deliveries will not be allowed. Just those deliveries which is a necessity for the hotel.

I'm hoping Giannis and his squad will now finally erase their team's choking moments every playoffs.

This upcoming playoffs will be their 3rd consecutive run with a good season record.

Raptors last year gave them a 4-0 straight win which no one is expected since they won the first 2 games. That losing experience changed Giannis as he is now taking three point shots (Raptors able to hold him whenever he is attacking inside. Bucks offense became weaken because of that).

Here's some news about the MVP for those who missed him already.

Kawhi Leonard feeling good, but Clippers plan to be 'smart' about usage

He is feeling good, has practiced with his teammates already, and I can say "HE IS NOW READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS". (I skip the season though)

The reason why Gobert was getting so much trouble wasn't the fact that he got the virus, there are millions of people who got the virus and that is fine, if you are careful you could still get it, if you are not careful.. well you are only human and we should forgive you anyway, it is not like you WANTED to get sick, that is silly.

However one thing is for certain, he touched all the microphones one day to mock the virus and that was idiotic, that is what prompted the anger, you can't just touch all the microphones like virus is not a serious thing, hundreds of thousands of people died because of this virus, of course it wasn't this bad back in that day but he could have used is brain a bit and just respected the issue and move on. He just made it like a fun thing just like a small child would do. That was the real cause, the the fact that he was the source or anything.

It seems like he intentionally test himself by touching the mic although it was not advisable.

He thinks he is a superhuman and that was just in the early days I guess when China was still leading the numbers, but hopefully he learn his lessons, people has to forget and forgive, virus are everywhere now, and let him correct his mistakes and let's hope he will not make any kind of idiotic move again and will mature as the season opening is very crucial.

But they will need to earn it so that it will be a more juicy win.
Something you could taste with delight. Grin

It's an honor where fans will share the enjoyment for the team and the celebrations is to fullest.

Quote from: danherbias07 on July 15, 2020, 10:32:18 AM

It will be a rough road.
Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks and then there is the East with strong teams.

Not an easy task, as there are teams who also have superb lineups that composed of superstars.

Celtics and 76ers also have young players.

Giannis still have lots of seasons to play, he's still young and the talents are continuously growing, but
for now experienced from the west still dominating.

Quote from: danherbias07 on July 15, 2020, 10:32:18 AM

But who knows, something may turn out that is not anticipated. Like Simmons becoming a sharp shooter. Cheesy

This is true, we don't know what will happened next, the same one last year, it's unexpected injuries for the
Warriors, ends up losing with the Raptors.

I just can't remove that mindset because even if they're just going their job, a fan will always be fan even if you're not facing your idol but if you're facing one of them, you'll admire and feel the need to do him a favor.

Tough choice, yeah. But as far as the job's obligation goes I don't think that the security invovle with the incident is worthy of his position now. Might be harsh, however, you just can't compromise health matters over a pleasure of allowing your idol go over the boundaries. It is okay, if it won't put anyone at risk but it is a life-threatening virus they are dealing with, smh, not to mention that everyone in the area doesn't have a healthy body as them Undecided

It's a great tribute to Kobe if they will win this one for him, and for sure aside from that reason, LeBron also
wanted to add more ring from his back while he still have this opportunity.

It sure will be.

I still think that whatever comes in the way of Lakers, they will try to overcome the challenges and personally, I also wanted the Lakers to win a championship again.

Lets just hope that none of the players that will play through the New NBA season are healthy and well.

Healthy bodies for everyone especially in the playoffs and Finals.
Why?
So there will be no reasoning like what happened in the last Finals game.
e.g. Durant injured, Klay Thompson injured and so on.
We know some analysts will use that kind of move just to make a scoop.
Now there is the virus. They could also use it to make themselves feel good if a star is unhealthy and they are a fan of it. Grin

Woo, why some of them making the situation worse and don't just abide the simple rules given to them?
Huh

My point.
You hed been given a chance. Why waste it?
Its not like prison. You still have the alternative to pick what you want
Why go so far for deliveries?
Are you not that comfortable with what they give?
Is it something your stomach cannot take in?
Isn't it better than not having a job? Which most people are longing for.

I think being a security staff, they are also fan of the players so they just allowed it to happen as a favor given to their idol.

I don't think they have to do that besides they are paid to do their jobs rightfully and if the higher-ups told them what their jobs are then they should have abode on it, they should set aside idolizing for a moment than breaking the protocols because they may be sanctioned as well.

I just can't remove that mindset because even if they're just going their job, a fan will always be fan even if you're not facing your idol but if you're facing one of them, you'll admire and feel the need to do him a favor.

They take the situation lightly. They think a "simple" task won't hurt at all.

So unfair to those who are following the rule. Hopefully, that would be the last.

At this point in time, 2 weeks before the resumption of NBA games even 1 case is crucial but with the case of Jukic where he tested negative just one week after the announcement that he had the virus, i think those who tested positive could still make it. Hope that the NBA will strictly implement protocols so that this resumption will go on as plan.

I really hope that this upcoming games are not suspended and they will continue as they have announced its schedule. anyway, those who cannot play will have a chance cheering for their team at their respected homes. This game should not be delayed anymore because they need to end this season as soon as possible. However, they need to be careful and not to end up being infected by the virus. so the season will gonna end up smoothly.

Suspension will not happen, they can still handle the situation and they have spent time, effort, and money to get into this phase and after this phase will be the NBA season resumption, so just be positive, the NBA season will resume.

They are learning from their mistakes, as we can read on the news, they are now putting some measures to ensure no violation will be committed again as that would result to a possible spread of the virus.

They are losing millions of dollars and they again spent millions of dollars for this preparation, I don't see the words "FAILED TO RESUME".
