Just goes to show that NBA basketball is complicated.

Looks like Steph and GSW should be fresh every morning because they're getting a lot of sleep lately.

Luka is the latest to put them to bed.

Nite, nite!

Looks like no Embiid when the Cs face Philly in the Xmas game.

Duncan Robinsin once again takes down an opponent with a dirty act/unsportsmanlike play.

Low key one of the most dirtiest players in the league. Jaylen Brown was 100 % justified by his response to their run in last season.

Need the Mighty Mighty Milwaukee Bucks knock the OKC Thunder down a peg. In reality I want both teams to lose, but it doesn't work that way. So if I had to choose, Bucks win, 164-101.

Yes I find myself going for Bucks :nonono:

...but in doing so, I can't believe how clear it's become that Giannis doesn't travel or commit offensive fouls and gets fouled much more than is called.

Bucks size is giving OKC problems.

Joe is right in going double big.

If it's Bucks vs. Celtics in the playoffs, going small won't work.

Knicks miss Hartenstein.

Call me surprised that the bucks are playing this good. I look at their roster and they have two guys in lillard and Giannis.

They’re two man team but we do a crappy job defending lillard. They don’t have great depth.

What an ugly game!

It's been that way for years hehe. They call a couple every game so he can do it all game.

30-pt advantage for Bucks from 3. 17-pt lead in the 4th. It's a wrap.

One heullva performance by the Bucks.

Doc has really made all the right adjustments and tactical lineups to contain the High Octane Thunder offence

Good for the bucks. They won it all! The Dame and Giannis experiment is officially a success!

ConstableGeneva · Post #1759 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Dec 18, 2024 3:50 am

NBA Cup been a dud. Dame finally winning a championship!

I can't complain much 'cos my team can't even beat the Hawks lol.

No no....I now realise while cheering for Giannis that he doesn't travel....or commit offensive fouls....he just has really long strides and should be able to elbow people in the face as the offensive player because he is a star.
