Man, 2021 is a trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Barkley's comments about analytics and having Lopez out there on the three point line instead of in the paint. Don't know that he'll play that good on the road, but that's where he should be a lot more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know that he'll play that good on the road, but that's where he should be a lot more often. It is a different team with Giannis. It is much harder to help into the post/pain when he's not there, and Lopez doesn't need to act as a spacer for Giannis' drives. Lopez doesn't get the same post opportunities in a game with Giannis because Giannis' man is going to collapse and help (and realistically is going to be helping even before the pass is made which makes the feed into the post that much harder.) (Watching last night it makes you wonder if this current construction of the Bucks team isn't as good or better w/o Giannis than with him. If he doesn't play again we'll see if they can manage some consistency. This is also against a small Hawks team. Not sure how the same offense would run against somebody that can throw some bigger bodies at Lopez/Portis.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Bucks did play an outstanding team game last night. As much flak as Bud gets at times, he deserves a tip of the cap for a game like they had last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Can’t sleep on the Hawks when they’re down big late in games. This team just keeps coming. Bucks are hanging on by their finger nails. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Full credit to coach Bud and the Bucks. I thought they were done for sure with Giannis went out. I was following online. Did the Hawks take everyone out with 40 seconds left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 IIRC, Hawks never had a lead in the last two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 And our offensive rebounding has been terrible since the playoffs started. I don't normally pay attention to the NBA at all, but it was good for the city to feel good about something since the FC won their championship.

Destino Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Any chance Giannis is healthy by Tuesday? You guys see those Kareem as a buck highlights? The first one they showed had excellent picture quality. Where did that come from? Usually highlight that old all look like you’re watching them through a pint glass.

Spaceman Spiff Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Totally bummed about Marv Albert leaving. That's the sound of basketball, IMO, like Vin Scully in the baseball booth. That's what basketball sounded like growing up, national televised games, the "Yes!" call on made shots. Just a great broadcaster, wouldn't want to listen to anyone else do basketball play by play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan are better. Plus, who doesn’t like Breen’s legendary “Bang!” calls? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Yeah Marv Albert has ****ed up like 10 times a game this series. It's comical but it's also sad because you know he's getting old and just can't do it. I had no clue he was even done broadcasting until the end of the game tonight. But it completely makes sense considering how much he messes up. And damn, the Bucks are just a very likeable team. Watching them get the trophy after the game, it's hard not to root for those guys. The NBA finals are going to be fun to watch. And then we will be running right up on NFL training camp. I like this later-than-usual NBA playoff schedule. Especially how they weren't doing games every 3 days and it was every other day instead. The ECF/WCF was awesome because we had a game every night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
