Giannos is actually a regional variant of Giannis: to a Greek it sounds rural and old-fashioned, the equivalent of a name popular in the American wild West. Thanos is just short for Thanasis which is a fairly common name in Greece.

What actually ended this game for the Nets was when James Harden attempted to convince Steve Nash into challenging a foul on a 3 point attempt by Chris Middleton. Prior to that the Nets were on fire and had pulled to within 5 points, even Joe Harris seemed to finally find his range. That decision by Harden delayed the game which caused the Nets to go cold, while the Bucks got a chance to rest up and pull it together enough to close out the game.

I can tell you right now Middleton is a lot closer to being KD caliber than being a poor man's version of him. An example of the term "poor man's" in its proper perspective is Joe Ingles compared to Larry Bird. Middleton isn't better than KD, but he's nearly a superstar and the best player on the Bucks currently. Giannis can't shoot or playmake that well, which really hurts him in the playoffs and why I'd prefer Middleton (currently)

So what was this piece supposed to cover? It covered how we got here. Middleton has been asked to do a lot this series. Defend, lead pace, score,... he isn't anything like KD. That's a fact. KD numbers can be had by a player, its how they get those stats that defines them. Kris needs to trust his team, stay consistent, and look for open shots. Giannis needs to push the defense into the paint. Either Holiday, or Lopez need to get in there as well, and let Middleton anchor the back-court.
