NBA Playoffs 2021

[Roy H.]

The only thing I want is for Giannis to remain a "good guy".  The NBA has enough heels.  Let Giannis be that breath of fresh air, the guy who stays in a small market and who remains humble, at least in comparison to his peers.

Lakers after Chris Paul?

I'm happy for the Bucks and Bucks fans. That team has been around a while, had a good tradition of winning back in the '70s with guys like Kareem and Marques Johnson, had some good teams in the '80s with Sikma, Robertson, Pressey, but it had been a long time since Milwaukee had even sniffed the Finals.

I'm unhappy, of course, that this year's title has gone to one of Boston's chief rivals, but hopefully that lights a fire under the Celtics players.

And in my opinion, this loss for the Suns cements Chris Paul's reputation as a guy who ultimately can't get it done in the postseason (even if he does have some good postseason games).

I loved those 80's Bucks. Sidney Moncrief was a guy who's game I loved and I always wished the Celtics could have gotten him somehow.

Yeah, I hope he's like Tim Duncan and not like KD. I think he is, given his choice to sign on in Milwaukee until he's 31 and that choice being vindicated with a ring

Ah, Moncrief! I knew I was forgetting a key player from those teams. Thanks, Nick.

I fully agree with you guys. He stayed with a small-market team (one that has some pretty good history too), and hasn't been jerky or done anything controversial (as far as I know).

My tone will probably (definitely) change if he eliminates the Celtics any time soon

I love that in his post-game presser he started seriously joking about now being allowed to request a trade :')

Ricky Pierce was another guy I liked on those teams. Such a great shooter from inside the arc and tough too.

Also, Terry Cummings. Just a lot of players that played the game the way I liked and played it really well.

TP for the 80's Bucks talk.

The mid-80s Milwaukee teams is one of my all-time favourites on 2K to this day.

the fact that those talented Bucks teams of the 80's never made a finals appearance is a testament to how tough the Eastern conference was back then in relation to the cakewalk the Lakers had in the West and how great those Celtic and Sixers teams were back then

Doesn’t seem fair.   A CP3 turnover and a Booker turnover was the difference.
