By Not Go To PostSuns gonna chipI mean the Bucks have been the best team in basketball the last two seasons before this one. I don't know if that would be considered mediocrity?
Giannis stuck in mediocrity for a half decade
Blackace’s post got me thinking: do teams care about winning regular season/E or WCF finals?
In football, a team can win like 4 or 5 different trophies a season, whereas it’s obviously playoffs or bust in the NBA

By n8 dogg Go To PostBlackace’s post got me thinking: do teams care about winning regular season/E or WCF finals?Only 1 teams it all, so it's hard to imagine the measurement for the Hawks being we didn't win it all, we suck.

Can you?
I get it; it’s just that every single year 29 teams walk away empty handed (or do you get trophies/medals etc for ECF/reg season wins?)
In football theoretically, you could have 7 different English sides win the Community Shield, Euro Super Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, Premier League, Champions League and Europa League, for example.

They give out division banners, CF banners, and CF trophies. Technically both teams are "champs" of their conference but noone gives af.
Ask Jazz and Cavs fans how many Conference championships they have and they won't give af.

Or teams? Because I feel teams are really satisfied to win the conference, all but the crazy super teams.
I feel like in general noone really cares. NBA doesn't really make it a thing. I remember back when Lakers won their conference in 2009 they didn't give one shit because all they had was revenge on their mind for 2008.
I bet you the likes of Lebron weren't ever happy just making it to the Finals.
In the end I'd say it depends but in general I think they'll care the first time.

But organizations with a young core have to be hyped. A team like the Nets is probably disappointed, but in general I think the organizations care.

Monty is the fucking best
The only ones who care about anything but a ring are the owners who like the revenue from a home playoff game. 20 teams start opening night knowing they've got no chance of competing

I feel like the problem with the Bucks (besides shooting and depth) is they have three guys who are good secondary creators but no primary creators
If you're struggling to create offense with Giannis, an all-star PG, Klay-lite, and Brook Lopez it's 100% on the coach
Every time Kris comes down the court and puts the ball on the floor early in the shot clock, its proof Bud is a clown. Giannis staring down defenses while holding the ball 30 ft out. Jrue getting treated like Lou Williams or Monta instead of being relied on like an actual PG? Brook gets a good matchup most games but he's a corner shooter one quarter and a dedicated screener the next.
all those guys are inconsistent as hell because they're playing against the grain the vast majority of the game

Meanwhile Suns are as straightforward as you get. Designated players like whoda thunk. Paul plays the 1, Booker the 2, Bridges 3, Crowder 4, Ayton an actual 5
It's like a real basketball team or something
It's like a real basketball team or something
the suns do a lot of unorthodox stuff tbf. routinely putting faith in crowder on either end is some baffling shit. letting cam payne create used to be a fireable offense. forgetting ayton is on the court to play midrange shawty. etc
the bucks run out forbes every night and not once does it look like they plan to put him in spots to take advantage of the spacing they create naturally. dude shot 45% from 3 but bud can't find a way to make him an asset? and the defense is even worse. i have no idea why any coach decides its the move to pick up chris paul at halfcourt lol
suns are better than the sum of their parts and the bucks are worse.

By Not Go To Postthis can NOT be realLmao
At first I thought it was just some dumb USA vs world then and then I realized it’s all black players (choosing the worst ones he could find) vs white players.

Half the talking heads in the media suggested picking up CP3 before half court to take seconds off the shot clock.
By giririsss Go To PostHalf the talking heads in the media suggested picking up CP3 before half court to take seconds off the shot clock.Half of them said they need to play Giannis at the 5 cause Lopez is unplayable this series after game 1, then those same ones said after game 2 they need to play lopez more and bully the suns. None of these people have a clue they just talking.

None of these people have a clue they just talking.Some of that was because of no Craig. But looks like he should be back. Which is amazing.
But you're not wrong, there's a lot of double takes.
By giririsss Go To PostSome of that was because of no Craig. But looks like he should be back. Which is amazing.It's what happens when they ignore teams for the entire season and most of playoffs and then have to learn shit on the fly like wait is this mikal or miles bridges? Is that the same cam payne that danced with Westbrook? Torrey Craig played for the Bucks? Booker isn't actually a good 3 pt shooter? Ayton plays better defense than when he was a rookie? Shit we have known all season long is like breaking news.
But you're not wrong, there's a lot of double takes.
It was like Suns won - oh there goes cp3 again winning then they stretched it to oh cp3 is not playing look at his leadership willing this team to wins.

watching lots of draft footage and i've gotten kind of low on jalen green
smallish guards with thin frames and no playmaking are huge risks to take top 3
