The GB very butthurt at the Bucks win. Most doing all that they can to discredit the win.

I’ll take this trophy. It’s nice to win some silverware again. I think fans will start to appreciate the NBA cup in a few years. In big European soccer leagues like the Premier League there are a few in season cups, and they mean something to the fans. It’s nice to win a tournament and lift a trophy.

The players that played tonight for the bucks looked good on defense and we looked fast. This is the type of team we need to compete and win vs these younger great nba teams.

Jealous haters... they would have had fun winning it too if they had the chance

Having this challenge and succeeded seemed to bring us together even more

Giannis getting the ball in the post instead if barrelling dudes by dribbling coast to coast is an impressive 180 he did with his game... trusting his guards to bring it up and give it to him in his spot, too but his footwork... it's just crazy

This year he is still good enough and they rest him enough.

The way how I see it, if Boston is healthy, we will not beat them in playoffs. And, if we run to the Knicks, there is a good chance (50/50) we dont beat them eather.

If we are healthy I expect that we will beat any other team at east, Cavs included. And if we get to the finals, its Giannis time!!

Huge shout out to AJJ. His defense was Jrue esque today.

Means something to me! Only one team wins it per year, it's not nothing.

Giannis with a double-double. 12 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

In the 3rd quarter.

He's really not. Every time someone tries to cheat off him, he goes over and sets a devastating screen on some unsuspecting fool. He's too smart to be bad defensive player. He just needs to adjust to the elite defenders with his passing.

Loved it . We are the Cup Champs.
Khris out, chemistry is back.
Whatever is wrong with his ankles, I hope he recovers and comes back. We only need the 2021 version of Khris. If he can't get back to that, he has to embrace a smaller role like Lou Williams or Manu or what Portis does for us. If Khris+Bobby gives us 40p+18Rb+6assists ... We can win another ring

Bucks Nation , we did it , Love ya all.

I feel a bit smug about being all in on him very early, can't imagine how you're behaving given how early you were into him.

Either the entire tourney should be out of season or completely within.

Why don't they make the whole plane out of the black box?

What's Midds got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a Midds when a Midds can be broken?

Just joking. We will need Midds

They're not a very good 3 point shooting team which is why I said we have the advantage vs them (and watching giannis is hilarious vs their small lineup). They want to operate in the midrange and fastbreak. Limit turnovers as we did and we should win most of the time

midranger · Post #199 » by **midranger** » Wed Dec 18, 2024 12:11 pm

Plenty of stuff to clean up, but Second half was fun as hell. Defense looked like incredible. Dudes flying around, timing help and doubles well. Grabbing rebounds. Offensively, when the ball is popping and we’re running the big big actions, it looks so much less clunky. Giannis looked like he was super engaged and excited in the post interview.

Lots to build off of here.

Yes, OKC missed some threes but we showed that we could play some good defense when the time comes. Winning the cup doesn't mean much UNLESS we also win the title. Winning the cup and the title would mean there are no excuses when the time comes as we proved we are the best team in the midseason tournament and the NBA Finals.

Hopefully this team can continue to evolve, stay healthy, and put an epic stamp on this NBA season. I am happy for Liam Robbins, he literally just doubled his salary and can buy a house now. That's pretty cool.
