    every loss is catastrophic and a damnation of the team's chances to win anything not just this season but in giannis' entire window (???) but wins are just fake and can't/won't be replicated. got it. it's the same every season regardless of how it ends for the bucks. it was the same when we won the title, it was the same when the heat beat the brakes off us last year. at least get some new material.

    I thought Dillon did foul but went not called. Was annoying as hell to say the least.

    My hating will be at elite levels for Luka and them in the playoffs.
     
  4. hard to get new material when it's the same story again!!!!!!

    there is nothing to indicate we'll lose in the first round. the bucks cruised to the one seed to end the season last year, we got the brakes beat off us. the year we won it all we were the three seed and had a worse regular season record than we currently have with four games left. it's almost like these games don't matter.

    You may have heard it before but I’ve heard Andrew Schlecht of Down to Dunk say before that Thunder ownership has been intentionally stacking cash during the rebuild to go deep into the luxury tax when needed

    just admit it man. why hide it any further. the team is more entertaining for you to bash than it is for you to enjoy when they're winning. it's been years of this. it's plainly obvious.

    Can't escape these walls of dark decay Prestigious

    That's encouraging to hear. Would be nice to see a team learn from past mistakes

    call it what you want but when you don’t engage with the team when they’re playing well and only engage to shit on them it’s going to look that way

    Definitely understand. But man the combo of Luka starting games and Kyrie finishing is so fun to watch for me, attempting to remove bias. The team just has insane chemistry right now that I haven’t seen since 2011.

    I’d like to thank Kyle Kuzma for shooting down the trade to Dallas so we could get PJ and Gafford.

    Really tough to say after Tyrese Maxey went for a career-high 52 points, but Ricky Council IV was probably the biggest reason for the Sixers' come-from-behind win in double OT tonight. Sixers need to convert that two-way now.

    I would greatly enjoy the Bucks being a first round elimination as that makes my life easier, but I remain incredibly unconvinced that’s happening lol

    Somehow they’ve made it this far. He’s been questionable or doubtful the last week or so. We just need Lively back
