Hmm? I looked up all the box scores of the 50 point finals games and got:

Baylor - 17/19
Jordan - 13/18
Barry - 11/19
West - 11/13
LeBron - 10/11
Pettit - 12/15
Giannis - 17/19

So same as Baylor and Barry (in fact same % as Baylor), one less than Jordan, but the others had a fair bit less.

whoops I was looking at the wrong column lawl

also Shaq had 40 points in the game where he had 39 FTAs

Giannis is the Alexa Bliss of the NBA. Take THAT MWC. Also, the Mets suck.

So, Im only gonna make one post about this, and then after this conversation never speak on it again, because, yes, this was a dirty Championship series, but because this it the NBA its not even top 10 in my lifetime alone (LeBron should have 0 rings for example) so its not worth getting worked up forever over it

What the Bucks actually are, we saw in game 1 and 2 of the Nets series. And thats a team
that does not even belong on the fucking court with the Elite teams. That Nets team is a fair representation of the Clippers, LAkers, Suns, Jazz, Nuggets, Hawks, 76ers, and of course, the Nets. Now, 2 things.

1: I either rooted for the Bucks or was neutral in every series till the end of the Hawks when it just became blatant that was going on. (Fuck the Nets, Kevin you great, but fuck Kylie, fuck Doc, and there are not enough fucks in the world for that choker extraordinaire Ames Haren

2: I was ahead of the curve. I suspected something may be up at the end of the Heat when they were just allowed to do anything to them. But then the first two Nets games put me into a false sense of no, I was reading too much into that. I was wrong. So most people figured it out during the Atlanta and Suns series. I knew it during the Heat.

Fuck the Nets. I was very much rooting for the Bucks (or more aptly against the Nets) and even I was like, the refs are keeping us in these games. Durant played 8 on 5 for 5 games and came a toe on the line away from winning it still. Hes better than the entire Bucks team combined, and would have won those games by about an average of 15 if it wasnt 8 on 5. Speaking of 8 on 5.

Holiday should foul out EVERY game. And Tucker should foul out before a quarter ends. Tucker was fouling Durant 20 times a game at least, and I dont think he ever fouled out. If he did it was once toward the end of the game. Giannis had 19 FTs today and earned maybe 4, Durant had games he probably shot less than 6 and should have had 70. While being legally assaulted he was still putting up better than this entire championship team combined.

Speaking of legal assault. I dont know why half of the Bucks arent in a Georgia prison right now because they pretty much committed attempted murder every time Atlanta guards had the ball. Now Trae Young still had this team beat even while being killed, until a ref fouled him. Now Im not actually saying this happened on purpose, I want to make that clear. But the irony of the being saved by the refs physically after all they had done to save them with the whistle was not lost on me. Poor Atlanta, you also get fucked over because we need to reward loyalty to small market.

And what a perfect picture for that that Silver painted, huh?

He had these small market get to run over the #6 city, #1 city, I wanna say Atlanta is like #8, dont know for sure, definitely large market, and the #5 city who is currently on the way to becoming #3.

Fuck big markets, am I right? If only Chicago was the 6 seed and the Clippers won, then he could have had them take out the top 3
8 on 5. Glorious.

There is nothing else to say about the finals, its the same as Brooklyn, only the Suns have more than just one likeable person. If I had to choose who the refs fucked over more its a coin flip but gun to my head I do pick the Nets just cause as good as Booker is, hes certainly not Durant, you can guard Booker without fouling (now, they didnt.. but you can) where as Durant is so tall you straight up cant guard him without fouling. And they did foul, but no whistles.

So congrats to the Silver on your goal, you werent even Subtle about it putting Foster in, congrats to Bud, the refs fucked you in the past against the King, now they paid it back, congrats to Middleton, you truly deserve it, congrats to Giannis who can now add his bullshit Title and Finals MVP to his bullshit second MVP and defensive player of the year (he deserved the first MVP obviously), the most manufactured Superstar since Harden Luka, youre next buddy. Congrats on your undeserved Title in the next 5 years as Silver tries desperately to create Superstars that arent there.

And thats it. Ive vented. Its already happened, cant be changed, and its not like its anywhere near the tier of Dwayne Wade 06 or The 08 Celtics having two different games where they had Role Players shoot more FTs than the Entire LAkers teams combined while the Lakers had the 3 best players in the series..

So congrats on the, I dont know, 12th, 13th who knows, low teens least legitimate Title of my lifetime. The fact that this isnt #1 (or even #1 with the Bucks. The Bucks 76ers series in 01 was even worse than this one, that went the other way though) with a bullet reminds me Fuck you Silver, and as I look down to the depths where I KNOW you now reside, Fuck Stern.

Out.

MWC didn't last very long this time

hopefully someday there will be a Bruce Prichard come in then and put him in the mid card hell he so belongs in by calling push offs.

Yoi know Im not a Mets fan, right?

Well that was certainly something.

who does MWC even root for? I'm just trying to figure out how he can get this worked up over this.

I dont have a team.

I hate Harden. I hate Doc. So them on the same team means fuck the Nets.

And the Clippers role players are the most unlikeable group of players in decades.

Are you saying Doc as in Doc Rivers?

Cause he coaches the Sixers, not the Nets.

I cant even think of someone else I really hate. Im trying to come up with one. Maybe Ben Simmons cause hes crazy arrogant for being so terrible?

I dunno

yes I did. Honest to god no idea how I got that wrong. (Should tell you how much I dont have a team then)

so Ben Simmons and Doc is enough.

And Harden is enough.

I dont have a team but fuck Philly and fuck Brooklyn

I actually like Nash. So it really sucks Harden is there, but what can you do?

This sounds right to me.

My predictions were pretty good. I only missed 3 series

Hawks > Knicks
Hawks > Sixers
Clippers > Suns

I picked the Bucks to win it all, so I had a feeling they would win this series even when it was 0-2. Contrary to what MWC says they were the better team. The Suns had a chance to win all three of the last three games but Milwaukee executed better down the stretch. They deserved this win.

I'm as stoked as I can be, given the circumstances, that Giannis got his ring. He's been my favorite player for about 5 years and I have his jersey (won't be wearing it for awhile though lmao). He should have been MVP again this year but voter fatigue+playoff disappointments meant he wasn't getting a third straight.

He just hate watches, which is an odd thing to do in sports.

I love when someone makes an absurdly long post, but then posts something in the first paragraph like Lebron should have 0 rings for example that instantly alerts you that you can stop reading and saves you time.

---

Only 2 shootings and 3 wounded but no deaths in Milwaukee

Not bad

---

Gianniss postgame is terrific. Talked about how it would have been easy to win on a super team but he wanted to do it in Milwaukee. We fuckin did it! Big smile. If I was a Bucks fan I would have that etched in my mind forever haha.

The only one even arguable is LAkers last year. But that doesnt happen if not for Covid.

The Miami ones are obviously absurd bullshit, and the Cavs one is in the top 3 most egregious screw jobs with 08 Celtics and 06 Heat.

Remember when MWC was out?

Good times.

I said in that post I would respond to any responses on that post. (Although I also said it was the only time Id speak on the Bucks Title, I didnt say any about the the much much more corrupt ones.

I didn't even know that acct was mwc so thank you for pointing it out so I can ignore it

As long as you arent in SMFFFC, and if you arent. Good on you. Id pay money to forget it existed

I find it a little funny that Bucks in 6 happened the last two series, the first time it actually happened since Brandon Jennings made that statement 8 or 9 years ago

Being from WI, I so remember this even though I'm really just a bandwagoner. If I remember right, the Bucks lost the series about which he was commenting in 5 games, so...

tbh MWC isn't worth my energy, but "what ever"

Wonder if we'll even medal in basketball this year

so weird for the Suns to not be picking in the lottery

i feel like i'm in high school again

---

So the top prize for free agency thats feasible is Lowry right (or Lonzo if you want a younger player)

Dont think CP3 or Kawhi leave their teams

---

Looks like the Lakers favorite trade package is finally being taken, for Russell Westbrook.

---

Jeeze

Westbrook for kuzma, Harrell, KCP, and a first

Warriors Reject 76ers' Offer Of Ben Simmons For Wiseman, Wiggins, Nos. 7, 14, Two Future Firsts

Multiple sources including those close to talks said a proposed framework including Raptors guards Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and the fourth overall pick in Thursdays draft for Simmons was rejected by Toronto."
