Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3496253, member: 1674"] He's just a player that is very prone to having bad games. Up until last night, he was arguably the 2nd best player in the postseason on the team behind only Middleton. But last night's game (from the sound of it, I wisely did not watch) was obviously terrible. At the end of the day though, the Bucks will never beat a good team in a playoff series if Giannis is a net-negative player. He literally has the worst +/- in the series. There's just no path to victory if that's the case. Obviously some of the stuff around him could be better: scheme, shooting, etc., but Giannis has been legitimately bad throughout the series (and really throughout the playoffs as a whole) and that makes it pretty much impossible to win. Even including the Orlando series, the Bucks have been statistically better whenever Giannis sits on the bench. That just can't happen. [/QUOTE]
