Giannis vs Luka/ LeBron vs Zion Thread (Zinger and AD too)

tjforce · 01-15-2021, 06:50 PM

I know there's a season chat thread, but I thought tonight's slate of games could use it's own.

This is the best slate of games this year since Christmas, maybe even better.

The 4 biggest hobby giants playing at the moment involved in these two games.

I think the Lakers roll, but Zion will be motivated to impress.

Luka has a chance to make an early MVP statement vs Giannis.

I wish Mavs weren’t missing all of Jrich, DFS, Kleber, Brunson and Powell. It will be a miracle if they win against a fully healthy Milwaukee squad

Just want to say: thank God for no covid PPD intervention for the games that matter.

My body is infinitely ready.

For sure... I feel like so many of these games barely mattered... I know the wins count... but Philly beating Miami with no Butler or Bam was about as impactful as the Hawnks beating Philly with no Simmons, Embiid, or Harris.

Some bragging rights on the line tonight.

Monster start for Giannis

yiguiri2002 · 01-15-2021, 08:27 PM

I can't understand why more teams don't do Hack-a-Giannis. Specially in nights like this.

Well tonight it’s because the Mavs are missing five guys.

You get Hinton, Bey and Terry who'll play 5 minutes tops. Why not use them for that?

highgradepat · 01-15-2021, 08:33 PM

Excited to see Luka with another trip-dub tonight (I'm speaking it into existence).

And Zion, I'd like to see him make a statement against Bron-Bron.

KhalDrogo · 01-15-2021, 08:41 PM

Bucks do not impress me at all. This is another early playoff exit for them.

KhalDrogo · 01-15-2021, 08:45 PM

Refs have money on the Bucks tonight I see.

Totally agree.

KhalDrogo · 01-15-2021, 09:05 PM

Giannis. Bro. Drop the pull up three a couple seconds into the shot clock. Quit trying to be something you are not.

imbluestreak23 · 01-15-2021, 09:10 PM

Not a good look w/ Luka missing the Open Porzingis, complaining to the refs on the way down court and giving up an open fast break layup

ninjacookies · 01-15-2021, 09:26 PM

Dallas has no business being in this game with their lack of personnel.

Lulu and THJ giving them that Clippers bubble work.

yiguiri2002 · 01-15-2021, 09:50 PM

I'll say it again: Why the hell don't they do Hack-a-Giannis until the end of the game?

KhalDrogo · 01-15-2021, 09:52 PM

Giannis is the worst free throw shooter in the league. Guy has turned into a complete head case.

pingbling23 · 01-15-2021, 09:57 PM

middelton closing this one out.

yiguiri2002 · 01-15-2021, 09:57 PM

It's mind boggling. Foul Giannis, get the rebound and win the game. Instead, they let Middleton go 1-on-1 and he hits 2 3s.

Birdsg223 · 01-15-2021, 10:00 PM

Maybe get luka the ball there, no?

yiguiri2002 · 01-15-2021, 10:00 PM

Wtf were they doing?

Don't understand the frantic running around and throwing at the basket with 8 seconds left... Did they think that shot didn't hit the rim?

Did Giannis hurt you? Your hatred for him seems to consume you. Bro.

I like Giannis. I don’t like his refusal to do what he does best.

I do hate Milwaukee though.
