Giannis "The Greak Freak" Antetokounmpo Thread - Page 243

tjforce · 07-12-2021, 12:43 AM

I've been doing some internet research or all time great Finals performances.

It's only 1 game, so I don't want to get ahead of myself, but damn... if they Bucks can pull this series off, it'll go down as a special one.

It's long been determined that the majority of Blowout is not invested in Giannis, emotionally/monetarily/etc. It's why his threads get the most action when there's negativity to be shared. It simply is what it is. I believe the only thing that would change that is a ring.

As far as the series, yesterday's game was everything I wanted it to be for the Bucks. It's the type of game that provides me with hope that they could pull it off, and makes me extra frustrated with how they performed in games 1 and 2.

It's all for not if they do not win Wednesday, but one game at a time!

I picked this up recently since many are not looking at Giannis. Milwaukee is buzzing right now. First finals win at home since 1974. The deer district outside the stadium and the grounds where the bradley center once stood were covered with people watching the game last night. Milwaukee has a high of 75 today while Phoenix is over 100. I know it is a dry heat but still, it is 100

Was about to say this...

A lot of people either sold off their Giannis or are new to collecting and have a ton of Luka, Trae, and Zion.

Awe man that sucks! I'm surprised it went as high as it did.

Someone remind Giannis if the Bucks win 3 more games his own collection will go way up in value, regardless of how he obtained them.

Ist time seeing GA play. Impressive in those 2 +40 point games.

2010GBPackers · 07-14-2021, 10:51 AM

Time to bump this thread since a player who got bounced in the first round has 6 posts already today because he made the NBA 2K cover.

Giannis could go for 40+ again tonight. Chew on this:

Giannis has more 40-point games in the Finals than: Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain.

Nothing to see here. Keep pumping your man though!

KD being on this list on surprised me.

As for the game... is this the one where the Suns try something different?

1:1 hasn't worked. Hack a Giannis hasn't worked.

Do they try a straight double team when he gets the ball away from the hoop (once he's at the rim its too late)

I think they may just let Giannis get his and focus on others.

Giannis has mainly been playing as a roll man and hasn't been initiating the offense at the top of the key, so the Giannis wall that the Suns eluded to probably isn't really a viable option to stop him. They can try some hard doubles, but Giannis has been able to find open teammates cutting to the basket during this series.

YourAvgSutton · 07-14-2021, 01:53 PM

Has anyone else been dreaming about this game tonight? No...? Just me...

I'm honestly counting down the hours. The entire series comes down to tonight and I've never been more nervous about a game as a fan. Ever.

Figured there would be no better time (unless they win it all) to bump the video of my collection. Feel free to check it out if you haven't!

packman80 · 07-14-2021, 02:17 PM

Hopefully Giannis can keep his roll going I think he is only one of 4 players in NBA finals history to have scored 100 points through the 1st 3 games of the series. The Giannis we are seeing right now is the Giannis MKE needs the guy who can take over a game and carry a team. The Giannis that is a 2 time MVP. If Giannis putting up 35+ again tonight means all the other guys should be able to have good nights also as they will be getting open looks as the Suns go after Giannis.

Also going to be interesting as might not have fans or as many outside in Deer District tonight as they are saying possible strong storms could be in area tonight.

Just a heads up in case you guys didn't see the other thread. This Immaculate Giannis RC has been shown to be trimmed.

Asian62150 · 07-14-2021, 11:13 PM

That defensive play was amazing. The recovery, speed, and timing it takes to pull that off is just incredible.
