NBA Playoffs 2021

Whoever said they were rooting for Bucks so Giannis would not go ring hunting should listen to the sound bite between Giannis and his coach…Giannis just said he wanted to do it again, or something like that. He gets his free throws to 70% - 75% and he becomes unstoppable.

At least it looks like Giannis is not going to LA anytime soon. But now the East is going to continue to be very competitive moving forward.

Brooklyn's Big 3
Milwaukee's Big 3
Philadelphia's Joel Embiid
Atlanta's Trae Young
Miami's Big 3 in Butler/Adebayo/Herro
Boston's Big 3 in Tatum/Brown/Smart

Not sure what it is, but I find something about Adam Silver incredibly unnerving

I was just thinking that he could easily pass for the head vampire in any horror movie.

That’s a lot kinder than what I was going to say. Haha.

He just looks weird without the condom he usually wears.

Was going to say that he looks like a level 3 something or other....

Congrats to Jeff Teague on his ring.  That trade was a blessing for him.

He reminds me of Willy Wonka's employee, Mr. Slugworth, perhaps a cousin lol (or a past life )

I may regret this in years to come but I think Giannis will be a Milwaukee lifer as long as they keep building a decently competitive team. I think he's a loyal kind of guy, the Bucks picked him out of poverty in Greece and I think that still means something to him. He also seems to be a private, small market kind of guy. The city has been good to his family, they signed his brother...unless they turn into a train wreck I think he will stay there for the rest of his career.

What did Danny get back for him?

Yup….lol

Such a Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde dynamic to Chris Paul, I love his game, his pass first style of play and that he's really 5'11. He should be such a beloved player, but his Mr Hyde is nothing but complaining, whining, dirty sneaky plays, talking down to the refs and his team mates.

Perfect example of why I don't like him, when Suns lose, he's the first to run and hide in the locker room aka Isiah Thomas. Didn't to even attempt to shake anyones hands, say good game or congrats to anyone, you'd think being a 'leader' at his age he'd show some leadership...nope.

Players shake hands after they lose, people complain. Players do not shake hands after a loss, people complain. Players should do as they really please.

Looks like it’s going be a “home” series advantage for both team.. but I still think Milwaukee will win it

Dang I finally predicted a series right! Haha

[Celtics4ever]

I was rooting for the Suns but predicting the Bucks.  Hopefully, Giannis loses some of that hunger now.

He reminds me of Willy Wonka's employee, Mr. Slugworth, perhaps a cousin lol (or a past life

He does look like Günter Meisner  TP for the laugh

[jambr380]

Happy enough to see the Bucks win it all. They built their team the right way (not that the Suns didn't) and Giannis is about the most likeable superstar out there right now. Of course that could change - I remember when people said that about Steph - but this is a feel-good story for people who hate how stars are constantly teaming up with their besties in big market cities.

Congrats to Giannis and the Bucks! Wow, what a dominating two way performance in a Finals closeout game from Giannis. Historic.

Regarding Chris Paul, I can easily see him declining his player option now and joining Lebron. It's a lot of money, but he can recoup a lot of it simply from endorsement opportunities through Lebron and his group.

[Birdman]

Let Paul join James, they are old & by the playoffs begin, they will feel it..also Davis be injured again

Bill Russell GOAT!

I mentioned this before start of series. If Bucks win (they did), I expect roster building (starting with draft) will put  added premium on height and length. The Bucks have to be the tallest/longest team in the league, especially their top 6/7 guys.  They have historically drafted or acquired really tall and long wingspan guys.

It's a copy cat league.

May hurt draft stock of someone like Mitchell.
