As long as the Nets win I'm cool with it.
The Bucks are going to owe Giannis $45.6 mil the final season before they can get rid of him.

Bud about to get himself fired. I like Bud but I’m not sure if he’s a head coach. His team in Atlanta imploded in a similar way. 2-0 isn’t a death blow but man this was bad.
On the bright side - love to have him back as an assistant coach with the Spurs.
The Pop that cost Tim 3 rings, yes.
Bucks are such a regular season team
I think Bud becoming head coach of the Spurs next season is looking more and more likely
Bud
Bucks
regular season heroes

Yer star gotta shoot 3s these days.
IF Pop retires, but yeah, I agree. I’d much prefer Bud over Pop next year. Let’s be honest, we’re a regular season team right now and Bud could at least make sensible decisions to maximize our potential in the short term. But I think Becky could likely do the same.

Denver is dead in the water, or close, without Murray. Hope they can make a series of it.
Yea, denver without Murray is pretty ed. Even the absence of Barton shows, as Austin Rivers aint it. Ayton is also a great Jokic stopper, so i'll be surprised if Phoenix doesnt win this series.
The main problem is Ayton cancels out Jokic.
Nuggets usually lose game 1 tbh. If they lose game 2 then I'll start to believe in the Suns.
I like the Nuggets and hope they win the series. The Suns backcourt in CP3/Booker is vastly superior to want the Nuggets have wright now in Campazzo/Rivers. Ayton statically has played Jokic to a draw during the regular season. I was looking at their stats vs each other and saw they both averaged 23-10 against each other. The same thing pretty much happened tonight. If Murray didn't get injured the Nuggets would have this series because his talent level could make up the gap in the backcourt vs CP3/Booker that Rivers/Campazzo can't.
Bucks are softest team. Worse than mid 90s Spurs.
Giannis blew it when he had the chance to team up with Doncic and make a Euro super team. That would've been the perfect pairing, where Doncic ran the offense and Giannis ran the defense.
Bucks are leveraged pretty hard with this current roster. If they don’t win this series I see major panic setting in.
And the Suns. It’s weird. I want them to do well, while simultaneously wanting to CP3 to get punched in the face by someone.
Giannis and Lillard need each other, tbh.
They did a good enough job of building a roster, then the Nets came and shat in everyone's cereal.
this could actually work. Middleton and Jrue just aint that big of stars to help Giannis reach the finals. Well, Giannis aint helping himself, as he still cant shoot, but with Lillard, thats a great duo. And i think its time for Dame ro realize that Mccollum aint it and never will be that second guy.
Yeah McCollum is a poor man's version of Middleton. Neither of them should be 2nd options on a championship team. I think Lillard and Giannis fit well since Giannis will help with Lillard's defensive issues and Lillard helps with Giannis's lack of shooting. Unfortunately, if they pair up, I see that happening on a big market team and not with the current teams they are on.
they both have contracts till 2025. Lillard will be 35 then and I am not sure Milwaukee will wanna trade Giannis away in his prime. So, the only way would be to somehow trade for Lillard and get him to the Bucks. Another huge problem is contracts of Middleton and Jrue, players that I dont think Portland will want in a trade. Well, perhaps if they throw 4 first round picks, then I guess its possible. And of course, another problem is that Dame dont wanna leave Portland, which i admire.
I guess I'll be pulling for the Suns in the West at this point, although if CP3 breaks down again they're done.
Brooklyn is a given in the East. Not sure who has the best chance against them in the Finals, Utah or PHX. I think the Clips lose before getting there unless Adam Silver starts making calls.
