In the Bucks game in which Porzingis was injured last year, I sensed throughout that game that the Bucks and Giannis in particular were playing an edgy physical game - one in which they would eventually damage a player. It happened to be Porzingis.
I filed the thought in the back of my head at the time and chalked it up to maybe a Jason Kidd effect. But its the same thing this year. Why Hezonja didn't play better not be because of Giannis's threat. I mean that kind of thing alters the game - 1 less player.
I'm no Kanter fan but I think he too was getting a bit fed up with the entitlement effect of Giannis. He's a player who truly gives me bad vibes.
