2 teams, one cup: Mil vs okc

[bison]

Time to see what these teams are about.

[Naero]

Can't believe I'm actually somewhat invested in this. Granted, I probably wouldn't bat an eye if my team wasn't in it, but it definitely feels more engaging than your typical regular-season game.

[Neal Romer]

Giannis in his bag early!


And by bag I mean his one move where he gets a running start and makes an out of control rugby bullrush to the rim.

[Naero]

A Dame good shot. :applause:

Yeah, that kind of Lebronesque lack of skill can be annoying to watch.

[Wally450]

I really enjoy watching Bobby Portis play. All energy.

[Naero]

Thunder are 3-24 from downtown. :crazysam:

Wouldn't doubt they'll clinch the first seed, but they still feel like paper tigers to me come playoffs time. Even though Chet is missing, it must be worrisome seeing the rest of the team shrink in bigger moments like this (or at least as big as an early-regular-season game can be).

[MMM]

Middling East team beats the most dominant West team ever

[Naero]

:rockon:

I'm more excited about the Bucks' improvement than a tawdry IST banner, but winning the NBA Cup is a nice way to underscore our turnaround. Now let's wait and see if they become the first IST champions to win a playoffs series...

I wonder how the narrative will completely change on the Thunder after one loss.

Giannis now with an MVP/DPOY/FMVP & IST MVP, including a triple double in the championship game.

Where does he rank all time now after this performance and tournament win?

still behind Barkley

[Wally450]

Doc just guaranteed himself coaching positions for the next 15 years.

also MVP of all star game... couple more chips ... right behind fundamental.

[Full Court]

At least the Bucks actually beat a good team to win the cup. The Lakers beat the freaking Pacers. :lol
