But I was casually watching earlier than that, as far back as Jordan’s second three peat. I still have vivid memories watching that last championship and MJ’s clinching shot.

[@khoile1739]

I mean some people really underrate the Bucks this season. They have the best match up against Brooklyn in the East. Defensively they have the personnel to slow down the Nets big 3 the most, and the Nets have no real defense against Giannis. I feel like if Giannis is able to play like he’s played against the Nets the last 2 games they met, the Bucks have a real shot at winning. Harden would be an extra threat, but at the same time that would mean less shot opportunities for KD or Kyrie. So idk, let’s see how it turns out

[@master_profile6749]

Lol it would be hilarious if he put the Lakers to win the title and then somehow they ended up not making the playoffs

[@whydontiknowthat]

I love the play in, the only thing I don’t like is that there’s no difference between the 7 and 8 seeds (same for 9 and 10). I think there should be some benefit being the 7 over the 8, so I would like a situation like last year’s where the 8 needs to win two games against the 7 to get the 7 seed, whereas the 7 just needs to win one, and we could do the same for 9 10 series and then the same for the matchup between the loser of the 7 8 and the winner of the 9 10. That way the 10 needs to win four straight and the 9 needs to win three to get the 8 seed, and the 8 needs to win two straight and the 7 needs to win one to get the 7 seed.
