Emirates NBA Cup 2024 (formerly in-season tournament)

Some good defense but wretched shooting luck on open 3s

Like I said, it's like watching the Rockets - especially unfair to those of us who watch the Rockets

 

Giannis deleting SGA and we're over here starting Jalen Green over Amen Thompson lol.

BuT hE cAnT sHoOt

Someone get Giannis the memo. He doesn't seem to care.

 

Taurean Prince and Darvin Ham on the Lakers last year?

 

Bucks ought to thank the Rockets for wearing down SGA and OKC for them.

 

Amen is probably Giannis when Giannis lost his strength and great portion of his size.

 

Darvin Ham's teams win the In Season Cups but lose the Playoff battles.

 

i hate okc. glad they are going to lose.

Imagine the smug looks if they won.

 

SGA, Caruso, and OKC got too emotionally caught up in the Rockets game. They were throwing passive aggressive pot shots toward the Rockets in the media a day after the game was over when they should've been focusing on the Bucks.

 

We should traded for Giannis when the bucks were struggling. I would have given up sengun and green.

 

Yep. Rockets stayed in their head space well after the game.

 

The Bucks and Hawks were the hottest teams before the Cup although the Bucks had a horrible start to the season.

I would still not trust them to hoist a trophy in June because one injury to Giannis and it all falls apart again.

The Bucks have serious problems navigating thru multiple 7 game series.

 

Yeah - but Giannis is allowed to carry, travel and push off to his hearts content.

Travel, carry, carry, missed shot. Push off rebound. Push off. Dunk.
Travel. Push off, carry, carry, illegal screen, Dame 3


Imagine Bucks vs Dallas in the finals. It would be hell watching Giannis vs Donkey carrying and travelling and flopping all day

 

Seems a bizarre excuse though, the game was several days ago.

Sounds like a Rockets getting something out of the Cup that has nothing to do with the team.

Bucks were the better team tonight, clearly so, but I am still would not count them as favorites to win it all.

 

So basically we're partially the real champions - I agree

 

congrats to bucks. they have etched themselves in the anals of history by becoming the only team to have won the in-season arab championships since the lakers did it a while back. also the first team from the far east to win it. what an accomplishment.

 

Dame gets into the anal for sure....pause.

 

Yep, Rockets have been the Tanking Champions and made out like bandits in the Drafts.
