Bucks in five. In this series and in the finals.

 

Lmao

 

he isn’t wrong

 

Not a fan of the mfs who are like “WELL IF THIS TEAM WAS HEALTHY”

 

Every NBA title winner runs into luck.

 

If the Suns win it’s gonna be “well the Lakers weren’t healthy and Kawhi was out”

If the Bucks win it’s gonna be “Well Kyrie was out, Harden had one leg. And they wouldn’t have beat the Lakers in the finals”

 

Any team that wins will be the worst champion in a long time. It doesn’t matter much of course, but none of these teams are great.

 

Bruh?????

 

Bruh??????

 

I don’t think Phoenix or Milwaukee winning is one of the worst teams winning in recent memory.

Both those teams would still be better than the Raps team that won it a few years ago.

 

That’s absolutely not true. Kawhi was on another level in those playoffs. That raps team was pretty legit the way he was playing

 

Suns have collectively played good ball.
Giannis has been fucking nuts but it’s not be acknowledged because of him taking 32 seconds per free throw.

I’d put that over one super human performance by Kawhi.


Agree to disagree I suppose.

 

Raptors lose to the Warriors if Klay doesn’t go down imo. Ironically enough another example of a champion benefitting from injuries to their opponents because that’s sometimes just what happens in sports.

 

lmao

 

Its just overwhelmingly false

 

yeah that take is wild.

 

It really isn’t. Suns are barely beating a Kawhi-less Clippers. Bucks have looked totally lost at points during the playoffs. Like half of the top 10 players barely played in the playoffs. I’m not even saying the championship won’t mean anything. I’m saying these teams aren’t great.

 

It’s not, actually

 

They are great teams lol. The Suns were 2nd in the fucking West. Bucks are a great team too.

 

Oh shiiiit

 

“The coaching search was conducted by Neil Olshey, the team’s president of basketball operations. None of the candidates that were interviewed were from suggestions from Lillard, sources said.”

 

If your threshold is “healthy lakers v healthy nets or the playoffs are a bust” then i cant really help you but injuries and luck are a part of every sports’ playoffs, the 4 remaining teams are all very very good teams and that includes, somehow, the atlanta hawks lol
