[@akshaysundru482]

Bruh when KD landed on his arm I was terrified, I don't know how he was completely fine because his arm went in directions arms it shouldn't have when he landed on it, but apart from that first day was honestly really good.

[@WinstonTheDisciple]

Gianis need a consistent post move bag. I mean at this point get a sky hook or something consistent 😭

[@AlmostLakai94]

Sky hook would be lethal for him. He could back people down and either spin and dunk or do that over top of em

[@Travsice]

Bro, there's been one player in NBA history to perfect the sky hook... He just needs something besides the spin move or the dropstep that can get clamped up easily as the game slows down in the playoffs. He really don't even need post moves in general either. If he gets a mid range jumper that can consistently fall and hit free throws at a clip above 75% he'd be completely unstoppable. Giannis needs more time before he can take over in crunch time.

[@gregoryyika4874]

For some reason the skyhook is like the holy grail, no one can perfect to Kareem's level. Just shows how difficult it is.

[@AlmostLakai94]

@@Travsice I was just saying I'd love to see it 😂 I totally agree with that though. Him hitting free throws in crunch time will have the rest of the team open af at the most critical moments

One thing I noted that if the Bucks were going anywhere this year Budenholzer was gonna have to take the minute restrictions off. Was only playing Giannis and Middleton last year like they were going against the Cavs or something. Hard minutes cap at like 35 last year. This time both played 45 minutes in game 1 and Holiday played 42. If Budenholzer sticks with that the Bucks will advance.

[@jordandwiggins1026]

Exactly. The Blazers are much healthier and have too many options for scoring. Jokic can average 30+ PPG but it won’t matter if they only have one other option to shoot. Jokic will need to score 30+ PPG and average like 10 APG and 10+ RPG or the Nuggets are going to struggle

Almost as many people voted for the Celtics to win as the Blazers? Who are these people? Denver is hurt and the Blazers have like 5 or 6 scoring options to the Nuggets’ 2? 3? Definitely not enough options for them to win 72% of the poll in my opinion.

[@jordandwiggins1026]

Nearly as many people voted for the Grizzlies as the Blazers? That’s hilarious. Grizzlies should win a game, but I think that’s it.

[@hasantylou7670]

when you vote in a binary setting, it doesn't matter weather in your mind the chances are 51% or 99%, you are still picking the "win" option. so the same number means the majority of people believe blazers will lose, but they could also believe that the matchup is very close, something that does not show up in the poll
