[@rhonromualdo]

2019-2021 peak Middleton had the best pick and roll with Giannis and was a really good playmaker and shooter, really underrated, as a Bucks fan I'd value peak Middleton like a peak Draymond, in terms of importance in the team. but this Middleton is a shell of himself. I really wish he could go back to his former self, but I think the Bucks should let go of him like the Warriors did Klay, or the Spurs to Parker. At this point paying someone too much just because of their legacy and memories while also trying to contend is not really smart. that could be space for better role players or a borderline allstar player.

I'm just glad it's been 2 big stars winning the cup so far with LeBron and Giannis. For this cup to pick up in the coming years it's gonna take players really wanting to have that trophy, and having stars get it so far means that stars who want to make a name for themselves in the future might play that much harder to be the guy holding the trophy for the "Holidays tournament" that I've started calling it. Players gotta want to have that picture with the hat and the trophies for this to take off. I think they should make it like a mini March madness over like 10 days, 30 teams randomly matched up for a single elimination tournament where the wins count towards your win total for the year in the regular season (extra benefit over the other 82 wins you can possibly get, having an extra 2 or 3 wins can make a huge difference going into the playoffs for seeding).

My main takeaways from this game are -The Bucks are a legit team with a much improved defense and shooting from last year -Dame and Giannis as a combo might actually work out -OKC desperately needs knockdown 3 point shooters, pretty bad when Lu Dort is the best shooter on the team right now based on stats -OKC needs to find away to guard 4’s, Giannis was doing whatever he wants all game and OKC didn’t have a single player to throw at him that could effectively guard him (Chet wouldn’t have been able to guard him either just due to the size difference).

[@JaretDawson]

I know the title is meant to be clickbait and Kenny goes into a lot more detail in the video, but I really wonder how much it changes about how we viewed things before. It seems like the NBA Cup favors experienced and older teams that aren't exposed to the wear and tear of the season just yet. We saw it last year with the Lakers and now with the Bucks. I think we already knew over the last couple weeks that the Bucks were figuring things out, but the important thing is what they'll look like come playoff time, which we already knew. It also has served as a showcase for the Thunder, just like the Pacers last year, to likely get just a bit more big game experience and go on a big run come playoff time. The Pacers ended up in the ECF which was way above expectation, and given that the Thunder already had immense expectations coming into the season it's likely to push them up even further in my opinion. The game was at least great to watch, especially in the first half, really happy to see this matchup. I wonder if the champs from three years ago are just destined to win every one of these, it's Denver's time next year!

[@mookz34]

As a Bucks fan who has watched most games this season, here are some thoughts: (1) Doc Rivers hired Greg Buckner, the architect of Cavs defense over the past few seasons, to be "defensive coordinator," (2) the Bucks are old and play well on rest, but are going to struggle on back-to-backs, (3) they consistently make halftime adjustments on defense and don't often show their hand in the first half.

Doc Rivers has always been a good 1 game coach. This tournament was meant for him. Any time he has to coach a long series thats where his fault is. He doesnt adjust Thats why hes blown more 3-1 leads than any other coach. But for 1 game? He doesnt need to adjust. He's elite in 1 game situations.

[@dh5363]

Thoughts on this idea? The NBA Cup incentive should be (asides from money and trophy) the winning team can move up 1 seed from their position at the end of regular season. If the Cup winning team finishes as the #1 seed anyway, then they are guaranteed home court in the Finals over the other Conference’s #1. And perhaps, if the Cup winning team will finish with Finals home court advantage anyway, then maybe they get a Bye win on the first playoffs game so they start the first series with automatic 1-0 record. This way the incentive affects all teams and all players and not just money that means more to bench players than superstars. Also, this Position Seeding prize effects something further down the road so teams still have to fight for the “chance” while integrating the drama of the whole season and not just a known fixed thing like walking away with some cash and call it a day.

[@TrueGuardify]

I like it except for the guaranteed win if they have finals advantage thats bs you gotta earn a win. But yes this would incentivise teams to try harder in the NBA cup without being unfair to how teams played the whole season

[@rileymcphee9429]

This game wouldn't have mattered if it wasn't for the way they won it. Nearly holding the thunder to under 80, winning by 16, Giannis dominating, all told the doubters that this team is for real and everyone else has some catching up to do.

thunder looked tired, and just couldnt buy a 3

[@seuna.8438]

That's what we've been saying. NBA teams should have plan B and C if 3's are not dropping. There will be a night that it won't just drop. This is the reason some veterans are not happy the way we turn NBA to 3-point contest.

[@OnDaLowWidIt]

I have theory that because we play so hard on defense we may not have our legs under us on offense to make shots. Maybe that was the case this game

[@chaddy9044]

Giannis in a finals is just pure DOMINATION😤

[@Susanoo1016]

All I can think about is the Centel tweet. “Doc Rivers has decided to take coaching seriously” and they went on 12-3 or smth streak after being bottom of the conference.

[@hourwagontoupeeferret6107]

The NBA cup crowned a champion of a 30 team league with no team needing to play more than 7 games. A lot of 18 team college football conferences with 9 game schedules may want to pay attention to how it’s done.

Last night was a 25ish percent raise for AJ and Ajax.

[@hotpocketmcgriddles4404]

I feel like giving the team that wins the cup automatic home court advantage in the finals would be a good way to keep it enticing. Not the league that wins it, but the team.

YESSIR DAME TIME STAY ON THAT SIDE #FEARTHEDEER

[@tannerbutler6198]

came here after the morning stream nice to see Dame winning something

[@nbayoungboy1059]

Okc was so sorry this game

[@thonyarrieche]

Doc Rivers just added another 20 years to his career 😂

[@eddiecampbell9663]

The thunder are a great team they are #1 defensively....but they need more shooters. ..they remind me of the derrick rose chicago bulls teams from early 2010s who was the best defensively but lacked shooting

[@g.fazo2x568]

NBA cup from now on will show what organizations dominate the 1st half of the regular season

[@SergioRodriguez_101]

Now I want the media to talk about shai how they talk about luka

[@ColdHoops]

That's harsh. OKC overall are a young team. Let's wait and see what they accomplish in this season's playoffs before critiquing SGA

Man this NBA cup ain’t ever gonna hit like they want it to. It’s still doesn’t mean anything.

[@breakfastenjoyer]

I agree. I’m a Doc non believer. But Giannis plays old school bully ball in the paint. The textbook for this winning formula was written with any productive big throughout basketball history

[@eugenesullivan3889]

Marjon Beauchamp should go to Chicago if Milwaukee won’t play him!

[@taekobain]

bro dropped this mid 3rd quarter 😭😭🔥

[@bryceerickson6096]

Everytime I watch the buck, I remember the ridiculous whistle that giannis gets

[@CezrDaPleazr]

So many negative comments about this and man im happy for them, some of yall dont watch futbol i guess, a chip a chip, obviously you want the big one but these cups are also adding legacy to players, this is beautiful to watch

[@joelcuthbert3438]

The Kenny curse remains strong 💪 😂😮
