NBA Thread 2020-21

Woj reported the Bogdan S&T which set the alarm bells off around the league.

If I recall , Woj "leaked" the upcoming trade early , which with the Bogdonovich part of it being he wasn't available for sign and trade before a certain date ( I think it was like 2 days later) ..  Meaning the Bucks were "tampering" so the league stepped in and said they couldn't do the transaction and I think they got fined too...  The other teams were worried about the Bucks  having their own "Super Team", so they pressured the league not to look the other way... 

Yup. I believe the Hawks were a team rumored to have raise a fuss. My Lasry comments were more that they were the ones to leak to Woj. There was a report Marc was talking up some big moves at the Governor's meeting. That seems to be overblown though.

Is tonight the night the Bucks finally fulfill the Brandon Jennings prophecy of Bucks in 6?

Bucks have more talent so , with a good effort ,they should win at home.

Marv Albert doesn't even know the players on the floor.  This is totally inexcusable regardless of his age.  The Bucks should be up big but have been crazy sloppy.

Last game was fun and wide open.  Of course we were due for a grinder where nobody can make a damn shot

Middleton and Holiday have 11 turns.  If they play close to their abilities in the 2nd half Milwaukee should take this game.

If the Bucks win, it's the last game of his career; if they lose, it's his next-to-last game. He's been bad the last couple of years after 5 decades as the best announcer in basketball history. The rest of us should have that kind of run at anything.

Connaughton just fouled Bogdonovich's knee with his onions.

He's been bad the last decade.  There's a reason Jabbar, Magic, Jordan, and Shaq are no longer on the floor.

Welcome to game 6, Khris

My halftime though was that Middleton needed to show up. He must have wanted to show me up for thinking it.

My new thought, is Tucker needs to do better than 0-6 on wide open corner 3's.

[MuggsyB]

The Bucks have gotten one freaking stop the entire 4th Q.  They better focus and drop the hammer.

Bucks need to get their head out of their ass. Back to sloppy plays, bad shots, and forcing 1 on 1's.

[forgetful]

This is going to be a fist fight down the stretch, and the refs are not going to give the Bucks calls.  If the Bucks don't get their act together they are going to lose this one.

Exactly right.  I couldn't have said it better.

[MuggsyB]

WTF are the Bucks doing with their help D?  Guys are literally standing and watching.  I'm dumbfounded.

I really like his defense and toughness and rebounding, but part of his game was always that corner 3 and I feel like his shooting has been beyond rough since coming to MKE

Agreed. I'm ok with 1-7 though. That last 3 was important.

[MuggsyB]

YES!!

Congrats to the Milwaukee Bucks.  It's been 47 yrs.  Hopefully Giannis is back for G1 of the Finals.

[Jockey]

I've been tough on Bud, but these last 2 games were on him. He made all the right moves. I give him full credit.

Teague was big tonight.  I was wondering why he didn't play at all.

The Bucks got plenty of calls, including a couple of phantom ones for Middleton.

Nicely done by the Bucks. If Middleton and Holiday are hitting their shots, they'll be tough even without Giannis. I obviously hope the Freak can return, though.

I was screaming "Noooooo" right up until it went through the twines.

[Herman Cain]

Achieved one milestone

Now on to the finals.

Looking forward to Jae guarding Giannis again

[MuggsyB]

It should be a very good series.  If Giannis is back Milwaukee is the clear favorite imo.   These last two wins should give the Bucks tremendous confidence.
