Why because Giannis fouled out and Toronto won a must win game 3 where if they lost the series is 100% over? Lol
They should’ve won in regulation, or first overtime at most. They settled for way too many threes down the stretch.
It's easy to say a team should've won when the other team is fighting for their life in front of their home crowd .. we've seen the great Laker teams lose many times in these types of situations..
Bucks gave this one away. If Raps win the next game, that changes the complexion of the series.
Meh, Raptors played their best game and almost lost in the end. They play very good defense in this game. Very active out there.
Raptors played horrible
Leonard is hurt
Lowry fouled out
Powell fouled out
Their coach is stupid
I think they can do better
I thought Giannis has been underwhelming in this series compared to the hype that he gets. He gets blocked, misses shots. I’m sure he’s playing statistically well though
I don’t know if we can lure Kawhi away from Toronto. They seem up to the challenge. Nothing changes of course (he’s our number one target) but the importance of a contingency and it’s timing are greater now. That was a hell of a back to the wall effort. Especially without Lowry in OT. Kudos, Raps. Short of a Finals and/or title, you have done all you can to convince Kawhi to stay. Even if the Raps loose the next three, Toronto deserves respect and we would we supremely lucky if Kawhi decides to bolt. If anything, the Clips should be out of the equation. _________________ DEAR BASKETBALL

Not that I actually think this, but is it crazy to say that Kawhi is better than Giannis? Better defender and shooter. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Giannis had a bad game and it still went to double OT
Why do you think he had a bad game?
8to and 12 points
I mean, cuz Kawhi finally started on him this game?
They also built a wall in the paint like the Celtics game 1. He adjusted and made easy working them. Bucks will adjust to this and win the next game _________________ Previously LBJ23

This is where Giannis proves he's unstoppable by coming back like in the Celtics series and get right back to dominating. The biggest thing is how Kawhi will feel in the next couple of days though.
I dont think it's crazy in the slightest to move around any of the 3 players in Durant, Giannis and Kawhi.. You can make claims for all 3 as the best player.. There is no wrong answer with those 3 imo.. I've seen cases made for them all.
I have to admit though now that Kawhi is not getting games off and it looks like it could have been his quad that was hampering him tonight should cause some concern.. I still take him in a heartbeat obviously if he considered the Lakers but it's something to be concerned about going forward.

Is this true?
Chance? Meaning pop would actually take the phone call?
It was widely reported that Pop was never going to trade him to the Lakers. We never had a shot.
Besides, Pop clearly wanted a “stay competitive” trade, not a “rebuild” trade. Taking DeMar and his contract proved that.
Yeah, I would say there was clearly no chance in hell Pop lets the Lakers get Kawhi through trade.. It's just another convenient way to pile onto the Lakers front office eff ups which they have plenty without that anyways.
