Y'all were saying the Bucks had all of these offensive weapons? Where they at?

This is depressing... The Bucks were the best challenger.

Forbes is Julius levels of disappointment right now.

On that note, wasn't sham just hyping up Harden

sham was also talking about taking over their board - and now look at em. their beach walk to a finals is ruined.

Yeah, before this year, he only had 2 seasons with less than 72 games played, but both were shortened seasons (62/66 in 2012, 68/72 last year)

All in all, he'd played in 833/876 games before this year (95.1%)

Goes to show, injuries are pretty much luck.

Fairly sure it was one of our forum curses.

Time to Bring Giannis back

SelbyCobra · Post #307 » by **SelbyCobra** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 12:18 am

Why do the Bucks tip every rebound instead of securing them? Lopez and Portis giving away hard work.

The entire Barclays Center is just the epitome of LDE... Blasting fake cheers to make up for the emptiness of the arena. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more midwesterners in the crowd (not the ones who are gentrifying Brooklyn) than actual New Yorkers.

Fake f**cking franchise.

Nets getting 90% of calls right now.

Bucks ice cold.

Giannis needs to add that midrange jumper... He's not winning a title without the ability to consistently make that over defenders 3-4 inches shorter than him.

nets winning even without harden. y'all really believed in the bucks. tried to slander sham and it backfired as usual. sad.

Back to our convo from last night - Durant might be the easiest superstar to build around because he is so good both on and off the ball at creating offense and he's a pretty versatile defender - at least was before the injury.

Edit - the other would be Curry.

Hamstring, right?

That's gonna be tough. Hamstring injuries linger, even though he should be able to play, he's gonna feel it the rest of the series at least.

That's why trading the farm for aging stars frightens me. They are statistically much more fragile than twenty-something players.

Yessir

Griffin was like two feet away from him, his drive isn’t effective if he’s not a shooting threat

Where's Rhodey at? He was talking all this balanced attack Bucks s***... I knew this was going to happen. Giannis is not there as a true franchise player and he might never get there. So limited when it matters the most.

Lots of basketball left to play but doesn’t look good for the Bucks.

he also thought miami was a real contender after the bubble last year

Bucks have a lot of game left to turn this around, but super bad start and look for them these last 5-10 minutes. Missed their last 11 threes, can't hit midrange, and are even missing layups.

As a Nets hater, this is unenjoyable right now.

the gall of you to strut in here after your curse rolled up Harden's hammy like it was fruit by the foot.
