as funny as it would have been for the bucks if giannis had left because their FO seems fairly incompetent it's good when small market teams keep their superstars

Middleton slightly disproving his playoff fraudulence.

Jrue Holiday has been a difference maker for the Bucks though, a great upgrade from Bledsoe.

Madden loving sucks now because it's just a fantasy league simulator they don't even do anything for the franchise mode it's actively gotten worse because they just take poo poo out and dumb it down.

nba 2k has become a nightmare of microtransactions and influencer...influenced content. just constant money extraction cloaked with the trappings of the basketball game that everyone hates but is beyond successful for investors

curry smashed okc, which had peak durant, after being down 3-1 and durant's clutch performance was so bad that he joined gsw out of shame

gsw was in shambles against toronto. kevon looney and injured demarcus cousins were their second best players at times because iggy/green were often completely useless offensively and klay kept rotating in and out of the lineup, plus they were absolutely shattered by the size of toronto with gasol/siakam/ibaka/leonard down low. curry essentially had to bail them out

the defense on that raptors team was something else. that 26-3 run in game 6 against the bucks was ectasy

leonard so casual he just casually put up 41 points on crazy efficiency but it didn't matter because the clippers are a cursed franchise. down 2-0 at home after they literally tanked to play dallas

it's hard to hate kawhi when he just does what he wants and doesn't care too much about his star power or whatever. it's clear there's nothing toronto could have done to get him to stay and that's cool, the championship and the parade is the happiest that city is ever going to be considering the state of the leafs

it would be disheartening for the bucks to put together what feels like a really good roster and just get completely crushed by the nets on their way to the finals.

but the problems with bud's coaching have been apparent since the 2019 playoffs. and to think he declined toronto's job offer that offseason so they went with nurse instead. bullet dodged.
