Pretty disgusted in all of us fpr not getting to 100 pages.

I feel you and I have been doing our bit. There's a few more that could step up here.

We won this championship because of Jason Kidd.

It could not be more on brand for us to have a 300 page thread on trading Tobias Harris but not be able to get our championship thread to 100.

I think it's because we end up talking about the chip in every other thread too.

The draft was the next week and then free agency. This was "old news " quickly.

I'll start bitching about the Bucks Pro Shop every day to get us over the line.

I look forward to every game thread being titled, "NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks vs...."

This thread was on the path to maxing out with the final 20 pages being talk about the Nets, until the site hack and restoration wiped out 2+ pages of those posts. In that regard, I was quite thankful for the timing of the hack.

Here we are on September 20. Exactly two months after the July 20th Game Six victory/celebration.

Still seems surreal.

Watching the abundant highlight videos that lionize the Bucks triumph and mostly ignore how easily the playoffs could have turned out differently. The Bucks seemed to never miss a video highlight shot.

Remembering the tension of Game Six and the way the Bucks seemed to be in control, but could never truly pull away.

Listening to Ted Davis, "The Suns .... are not gonna foul ! ! ! ! !"

Amazing that one can attend a live event and feel like they missed a huge part that was unfolding outside the arena.

Wondering how many will be in the DD for Ring Night, in just under a month.

Wondering if there will be a new found championship confidence that will help FT Giannis moving forward.

Marveling at whiplash-like momentum reversals. The disaster of Giannis leaving the ECF with a severe injury only for the Bucks to step up and advance without their star. Maybe Giannis can play some in the Finals becomes Giannis will play in Game 1 and then becomes a FMVP trophy. A can't miss wide open Suns alley-oop dunk becomes an iconic block. The Suns down 1 point with the ball in Game 5 only for Holiday to rip the ball from Booker and dribble downcourt for the Valley-Oop to GA34. Lose the first two to BKN, win 4 of the next 5. Lose the first two to PHO, win 4 straight.

Head Shaking over the thoughtfulness of a superstar wearing a "I (heart) Paschke-ball" t-shirt to a post game presser.

Regretting that Thanasis had to watch it all on TV.

Knowing that nothing in the Bucks' future could ever compare. Could it?

Anticipating that the championship aura will soon take a back seat to the drumbeat of the start of a new season.

July 20, 2021. So long ago. So indelible.

I have no idea what any of this means, but I am intrigued.

I just remember always that Giannis can't shoot/no craft/chokes on Free Throws...

Then I remember Game 6

There was an incredible amount of drama in this finals run.

Literally every series there was some fear at one point the team could lose the series.

The miami heat there was more fear preseries, but during each series it was long and such highs and lows. Such serious feelings were aren't making it to the next round.

I don't watch other teams as closely so I don't know if other Champs have had such ups and downs but this was such a wild ride.

I check this thread to remind myself that we’re still the champs.

I try to watch highlight videos and analysis, but I’ve consumed everything on the internet countless times. Would be nice to go back and watch the full games again. Anyone know where/if one can legally purchase the full games?

Someone linked it and like a fool, I didn't come back to find it in time. No clue where that comment was.

This was honestly one of my darkest days as a sports fan. Cannot describe how much of a relief it is that it only has to be a footnote in what was ultimately the happiest of endings.

https://youtu.be/co8TwFnoEjk 1:40 mark Stephen Jackson singing Tim Duncan's praises. But this year did he not try to bring Giannis' performance down because of his championship worth (wrt superteams) comment?

Is ordering from the Bucks Pro Shop different than ordering from the NBA store?
