'ANOTHER CONTENDER IN THE EAST' 🗣️ The Bucks' NBA Cup win gives Windy hope for Milwaukee | NBA Today

People are going to say that the NBA cup doesn't matter, but they're wrong. 500k is a ton of money for a lot of these players. They wanted to win. The max guys wanted the people with small contracts to get that money.

[@Moralapostolos]

dang right! it always doesn't matter for the ones not winning it 😆

[@lildraco3219]

Yes it matters to the players ofc, but no it doesn’t matter when it comes to winning the finals

[@jp23x]

@@lildraco3219 but my point is that they still had an incentive to win. The cup itself isn't really an accomplishment. It just spices up the league a bit before the finals. Without the 500k the cup would be like the all-star game where nobody tries since there's no incentive to do so

Playoffs is different, you have to win 4 games and the opposing team can make adjustments, this means nothing.

[@carteryork8076]

Somebody’s butthurt You can make adjustments in game too bubsy

[@justingreen-bey2200]

Stop hating seriously just say congrats and leave it that way

[@lethal3569]

Playoffs is different for several different reasons. This is not supposed to be the playoffs or determine the best team in the league it's just to make the NBA a little bit more interesting during the season. That's one of the reasons is played on a neutral floor which again is different than the playoffs. No home court advantage. And you're right it means nothing other than the players who actually win they get a nice little Christmas bonus which probably don't mean as much to the top players but I bet it means a lot to the ones that's on the team making the minimum.

[@devonteleggett3353]

Just know this mindset is why the game is where it's at today. Because nothing matters anymore, the players don't feel the need to compete in this tournament, or even the Allstar game. When you set expectations they'll meet them.

[@CoachRJ334]

No Chet made a big big difference...

[@TheShachattack13]

Windy is the ultimate prisoner of the moment. Bucks start 2-8 and they should trade Giannis and blow the whole thing up. Win 9 out of 11 and they're now contenders in the east. Maybe they're just a good team that's regressing to the mean after a flukishly bad start

[@jaygreen2726]

Giannis is no better than Kevin Love in Minnesota; if they called that man for carrying the ball he would never be able to dribble

The Bucks did not meet either the Boston Celtics or Cleveland Cavaliers on their way to win the NBA Cup this season in the NBA Cup Tournament. Therefore, how can they say now, they have a chance to win it all? Lol! These guys are jokers. Let us see how things unfolds from now until the start of April 2025, especially in regards to which team will be the most healthiest in making a good run to win it all. Then one can come up with a good conclusion at the start of April 2025 on who will win it all in June of 2025. The season is still early. Lots of basketball games to still be played in this present ongoing NBA season of years 2024 to 2025. Peace...

[@hueyfreeman5509]

A "chance" means it's possible because the bucks are ascending from their 2-8 start and they dominated the thunder who are arguably better than the celtics and definitely better than the cavs. Do you not follow the nba?

​@@novellprice132 "Arguably" meaning you can make an argument, and does not mean anything definitively. This is a new season, and just because the celtics have a half game better record now doesn't mean they're better. According to you, the Nuggets were the best team last year since they were defending champs and were better than the timberwolves right? Smh what kind of elementary school analysis is that? The playoffs are about matchups, and you can make a case that the thunder with their #1 ranked defense would give them advantage over the perimeter heavy celtics. But you wouldn't know anything about that as a pompous goof who only knows basic stats lol foh
