Pulling him with 7:30 left after Miami made a run was indefensible.

More big games are lost on bad plays than won on good ones?

Inbounding to Adams running away from the basket? What the h@ll?

Would have been called a foul in the Bucks/Heat game

Giannis was in foul trouble the entire game. It's not on the coach. The refs were going easy on him, too.

He played 35 min with no foul trouble on Monday night as well.

Time was running out, he had to go with the fourth option there.

The NBA appreciates you keeping your unique perspective away.

He has been whistled for 2 offensive fouls per game in the playoffs.

Most in playoff history by a wide margin.

I'd trade Giannis this off season. Have seen enough of him to realize he's now peaked. Besides, his basketball IQ leaves a lot to be desired, hey?

I agree that Giannis should play more and Bud should shorten the rotation.

But that's not the only problem.  I have been harping on this for awhile, but the Bucks don't have a guy who is a threat to score from multiple points on the floor.  Giannis is lethal on the break, but in the half court, teams sag on him daring him to shoot.  Middleton is a great scorer, but isn't a guy who can consistently put it on the floor and beat the guy off the dribble.  Bledsoe and the rest are just inconsistent.

So often the offense bogs down in crunch time when teams have the discipline to pack the line.  It happened last year v. Toronto and is happening now v. Miami.  They need dual threat guy, and they just don't have one.  I love Giannis, but you can't just give him the ball and say "score or create something." 

So yeah.  Play him more.  But let's not pretend that the half-court's been good with him out there.  Right now his +/- is -21.

If he were 30 I'd agree with you.  He's only 25.  He needs another player around him because Middleton can't be your #2.

What kind of deal would you want and who would, or would be able to, give you market value?

Richard Jefferson had a tweet last night saying Giannis was "a Pippen who needs a Jordan." I think he's more of a Shaq in need of a Kobe.

Either way, can you win a title with a non-shooting superstar in the modern NBA? I'm less and less convinced they'll be able to. And as critical as I've been of Bud, I don't know how you can scheme around it.

Yep.  Exactly my point.

Better chance of this than getting two first rounders and an all-star.

My gut says he signs a two-year deal and then the max deal somewhere else when the league's finances recover some.

If he gives no indication he'll sign, they have to push the trade route. It won't be popular, but it's the quickest rebuild path.

I hadn't checked this thread in a while, but I figured I'd take a look after some really good games the past couple weeks.

I never thought you guys would resurrect Froggy Fresh. I wonder what those kids are up to now
