He’s built a reputation up for being Mr. Loyal. Dame suffered from the same thing. Neither of them wanted to damage that reputation so they would do everything but ask for a trade, even they wanted to move on from the organisation.

If he wants to go to a specific team then demanding a trade just gives the Bucks the license to decide where he ends up.

Notice how Ja walked back his trade request.

⁸⁄₁₁ is clamped? But i guess you meant Dort was able to deny him all game long?

He only took 3 shots in the first half. He kinda got it going in the 2nd already down by 20+…

Old_Supermarket_7575 | Thunder

He couldn’t get a shot up all game on Dort and he scored 6 points in the 4th when the game was out of reach

Yes, that’s absolutely clamped for literal Giannis Antetokummpo

Does anyone here downvoting me watch basketball?

If Shai goes ⁸⁄₁₁ and scores 19 points that’s being clamped. He averages 33 ffs

If you can’t even get shots off you’re being contained

I don’t think he’s scared as much as he wants to choose his next team. When a player asks out the team gets a certain amount of freedom to do whatever they want.

You will notice that the amount of love or hate is often correlated with how much a player is winning.

If/when Giannis starts winning again, the hate will ramp up.

You think the guy some people call ‘Run and Dunk Man’ unironically is universally liked? He has a lot of haters given he plays so aggressively and gets away with a lot of off-hand shoving.

People still call KD a bus rider like a decade after he left his team in free agency lol. Giannis asking out absolutely has the potential to ruin his image.

josephmang56

KD abandoned a good team to go jump on with the 73-9 warriors. People dog on KD for that move because he gave up competing to band wagon on an already amazing team.

The Bucks are going no where right now. No one is going to say the same things about Giannis.

Since when has Giannis ever been the bus rider once he entered his prime? Your comparison makes no sense.

Jimbob3498 | Bucks

46 | 6 hours ago

Wasn’t a great performance, but it’s not like he was only guarded by chet lol. Okc were super coordinated with a wall of players and constantly worked to deny him entry passes (forced lots of turnovers on those too). Dort was his primary defender and his strength & speed meant that he could use his lower center of gravity to bother him pretty well. This is by far the best defense in the league for a reason.

People somehow still don’t understand that maybe playing OKC is a little tough and players will have worse stats against them

spicyclams | Warriors

Well, dame was supposed to be his sidekick but he tore his Achilles. One could argue Kuzma is still better than Kris Middleton, but the roster is truly barren. Bucks can’t tank though because they don’t have their pick this year.

Which is why they should 100% be trying to trade Giannis. That team has no future. They basically wasting his time while he’s nearing the backend of his prime.

No reason for him to only be taking 11 shots

I think you underestimate how difficult it is to get shots up against Dort. Its also why defensive metrics don’t understand how to evaluate a defensive player when their biggest strength is simply *preventing* shots in the first place, which is Dort’s greatest strength.

I disagree, he was playing center so it might’ve seemed he was covering less distance but he definitely contested a lot of shots at the rim. OKC, especially Shai, just had a great night making shots.

nugentismycenter | Pistons

problem is Giannis needs to go for 40 for them to beat a good team.

naderni | Nuggets

-2 | 6 hours ago

Seems like he maybe could today? The Thunders are much smaller and heavily injured. He took 11 shots, maybe if he tried 20ish it would be a bit different.

Zungad | Supersonics

6 | 6 hours ago

OKC’s main goal with Giannis was strict ball denial. It’s why the Bucks were able to get so many shots up from 3. They basically had two guys hovering Giannis the whole time and still were able to pivot to contest shots somewhat.

Lmnhedz | Thunder

5 | 5 hours ago

He couldn’t because Thunder really didn’t guard anyone else. He made the right plays almost all the time, far as I could see.

Vegetable_Kale_1331 | SGA

Giannis only missed 3 shots and had 3 TOs .

if he played more aggressive he would’ve either been fouled and put Thunder players into foul trouble or would’ve had an easy layup

lethalizered | Thunder

3 | 6 hours ago

That’s not how that game went. We blitzed him every time he got the ball during the first half, with two players and a third lurking behind just in case.

2nd half he had more semi fast break opportunities than the first so of course he looked a lot better.

We basically shot perfectly during the first half so those opportunities were more rare for him.

It wasn’t a simple case of “give him the ball and get out the way so he can punish OKC” at all.

Vegetable_Kale_1331 | SGA

Yea that’s fair.

I do think a more aggressive Giannis would’ve helped the Bucks tonight, but he didn’t even look like he wanted to be out there.
