When two of your big three are injury concerns, those things happen.


Not sure if you’re talking about that Nets team or this Bucks team.


That Nets team.

I feel the same about this year's Suns, with Beal and KD as the red flag.

I don't think the Bucks have a big 3 currently.

we have a big 2 to the second power. you can read that to mean a big 4 or just a really awesome big 2 with additional power however you want to read that..... but true not a big 3

It took the following at the end of game 3 to prevent a 3-0 Nets lead in this very world even with Harden having played less than a minute in the series:
Steal by the Bucks
Jrue actually making a layup in the playoffs
Nets final play with both KD and Kyrie on the floor turning into a broken play and Bruce Brown deciding to take the final shot

I guess people don’t remember how on the brink the Bucks truly were.

It wasn't the last time the Bucks were on the brink in that run.

Championships often require pushing through in those moments.

Was the Nets broken play a result of the Bucks defense? They flipped that series from high scoring to a grind. I'd argue that in the end, they wore them down for moments like that & then THE TOE. And OH TEE.

Bruce Brown is a solid player. He was making key shots down the stretch in the Nuggets run to theirs.

In the toe game Durant was 0-6 in overtime. Keep talking about what coulda/shoulda happened if you want. You can play the what if game ad nauseam. Screw that. I'll unconditionally enjoy the championship. And somehow this got into the Knicks pg thread.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I finally watched this game.

Felt wonderful to witness. Solid all around play and I felt the bucks didn't even have level up to a higher gear. They were cruising all game and it was beautiful to see it.
