Think about it this way. There are fans who give a shit about "Final Fours." Winning the Eastern Conference of the NBA is much, much more difficult and a far more impressive feat.

Still think Giannis is overall the better of the two because of his incredible defense, but I think he comes somewhere after LeBron, Kawhi, and Durant. |

Yes, Milwaukee needed to adjust their offense if they wanted to win and they never did. When they weren't getting transition buckets in this series, the offense just completely dried up. After game 4, Bud should have tried something else with Giannis and he simply stubbornly stuck to the system that got them there. It's a good system on the whole/in the aggregate, but it's just not going to consistently work when you're being guarded by Kawhi Leonard (former DPOY, one of the best on-ball defenders in the history of basketball) and funneled into Marc Gasol (former DPOY) on drives.

Ujiri did do his job but he could have handled it a lot better. Telling a player you won't trade them and then doing it. Add to it not letting the agent or player know you were looking to trade them - not cool in my book. Quote:

He did a media interview with ESPN after getting traded to talk about how an organization trading a player was somehow a betrayal (and let's be clear that he never actually said Ujiri directly told him he wouldn't be traded). I understand being upset, but there's a line there you shouldn't cross as a professional.
In any case, Demar (and that entire era) is the furthest thing from my mind now. |

I’m going Warriors in a close 6 if Durant doesn’t play at all.
I’m going Warriors in an easy 5 if Durant plays in Game 3 or earlier at his normal level. I think the Raptors will be emotionally drained. Their fans seem to be acting like they won it all already. Golden State has been here too many times to look past anyone. Warriors are better and absolutely should win this. LeBron playing possibly the greatest Finals Series ever with Kyrie and Love was only good enough to beat essentially this Warrior roster in a very close 7 game series. I don’t see Kawhi (as great as he is) duplicating that. And that assumes no Durant. |

LeBron's ability to create great offense for himself and others remains unmatched by anybody in the league currently (or ever, for that matter). The Raptors won't be able to score as efficiently as those Cavs teams did on the Warriors, but they can defend better. Just how much better will determine how close the series is.

It's understandable that he would get upset given his history with the Raptors. Since then he hasn't bad mouthed the Raptors at all. I'm guessing when stuff like that happens it is one of the reasons why so many players leave teams for the highest bidder nowadays... There's rarely any loyalty on either side and it is a shame. |

“Everybody knows I’m the most low maintenance person in the world. Just let me know so that I can prepare myself for whatever my next chapter is and I didn’t get that.” I don't know what Demar thought he was owed, but he just sounds like a guy shook (understandably) by a trade that he didn't see coming. That's part of the job, though, if you're a NBA player and he should have accepted that fact without doing media interviews about supposed betrayal. |
