I think Wildes makes an interesting point discussing chemistry but his previous graphic showed just 3 and 4 years ago teams winning the title that were brand new and put together at the start of that year. The Bucks didn't overhaul their roster. They simply traded a good point guard whose specialty was defense for an excellent point guard that is a top 5 offense all by himself. That seems like a much easier integration and not something that will hold the Bucks back.

He’s referring to what Giannis said recently. It was obvious what he meant lol

[@chickhearn4ever779]

lescuses if i ever heard them

[@MeBihhhh]

@@skubaRu7 he said as long as the team stays good I’m happy here…how is that requesting a trade. Your generation is so sensitive that a dude can’t just say obvious things without 12 different think pieces 🤡

[@skubaRu7]

@@MeBihhhh Nick never said he requested a trade nor did I. He was addressing athletes who have changed thinking on if they would EVER leave. The only one being sensitive is you, I was talking about what Nick meant and you rambled about generations😭.

Bucks were a perfect spot for Dame. We know he’s anti-super team and they’re now favorites but not a forgone conclusion

[@watchembleed8122]

kd missed a whole year brou 🤡

[@ArchangelMichael-y1i]

As a blazer fan I think a Dame vs Joker in the finals would be awesome. They always have entertaining series against each other. If I had to guess I’d say the bucks would be the favorites now that Dame has Gianni’s with him.

[@GreedyBizznezPop]

Blazer fam that explains why u think Bucks are favorites I'll take the Cel,Heat,Nuggs,Suns Dubs,Lakers over Bucks waaaaaa

[@ArchangelMichael-y1i]

@@GreedyBizznezPopit’s going to be heat vs bucks in the ECF, and the Bucks are the better squad. It will basically be Jimmy vs dame and Gianni’s. Dame and Gianni’s are going to be a problem

[@Dray_3stacks]

Your NETS 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mattrakowski4709]

I agree with Wildes that chemistry is important. At the same time the Bucks were getting stale the last 2 years. I don’t think anyone is ready for this duo. Giannis finally doesn’t have to do it all alone in the post season.

Mike Malone is mad

[@jesselund360]

I gotta give it up to Fox Sports on their YT videos. Cutting out the most important parts to add context makes me want to watch the full show. I wont do it cause im not paying for cable but still....props

Here’s the deal, Kevin is the man.

Jokic and the Nuggets will obliterate every team. The disrespect what they got just makes them more dangerous.

Welcome brother

[@infinity558mippy8]

The thing is with the whole games played I feel like won't play an affect bc the Bucks entire roster is still there just 1 player change just like the warriors when they got Durant the warriors core team was still there except Durant being the 1 new gu

[@atty.fernandog.madarcos8724]

[@georgiosntavakis8644]

THE TEAM THAT NEEDS JRUE THE MOST IS PHILLY..SO SIMPLE

[@bjzach]

Still, Bucks not beating the C’s.

[@ctbojar]

A healthy bucks team is going to be too much to handle for anybody. Imagine Middleton with wide open shots all day long. They are going to be an offensive juggernaut.

[@rcruz-zu4sm]

Ain't nobody on the bucks stopping Tatum lol

[@bjzach]

@@ctbojar this is the same narrative that’s been going on for past couple of seasons, a healthy C’s team with Kristaps playing at his best gives us plenty of scoring options too.

[@pullingthestrings5233]

4:42 by Russell i hope you don't mean Westbrook 😂

[@joved1662]

Steph has the same amount of championships than Lebron without jumping from team to team chasing rings, Steph has a winning record against Lebron including 17-11 record in the playoff, defeated Lebron twice in the finals, but somehow Nick “believes” that Lebron is top five and Steph is top 15. Lebron’s cheerleaders are so pathetic. 😂

[@replicantona]

Don't forget Curry won all his titles in full fledged NBA seasons, while 2/4 Lebron titles came in a lockout shortened season and a Disneyland pandemic bubble.

[@joved1662]

@@replicantona Good point

[@siba2379]

LeBron has more MVPs, more FMVPs, more points, more rebounds, more assists, and if you want to go with averages he still averages more points, assists and rebounds. Oh he also has more all nba teams, more all defensive teams. And Steph has never outplayed LeBron in a series.

[@replicantona]

@@siba2379 again with the counting stats and longevity, and stop lying Curry CLEARLY outplayed Lebron both in the play-in as he did in this year's 2nd round. AD and his defense + ridiculous FT disparity were Steph's competition, not Lebron at all.
