I'm old enough to remember Lemmy's inaugural NBA Cup 🤭. The Pacers feel like they're on a descent from peaking during last year's tourney. If whoever wins tonight fizzles out in the first round of the playoffs, there's going to be talk of an NBA Cup jinx lol
I simply don’t see the Bucks getting out coached or out “legged” this game. Their coaching and age collapses at the same moment in a game where Thunder youth and coaching shine.
EDIT: we smol dey big
Yeah, I thought OKC matched up well against the Bucks and was surprised they were only 4.5 favourites on the point spread. I also thought the stakes were higher for the Bucks than Thunder in terms of how they're viewed after this game - win or lose - given the differing directions of the 2 teams you mentioned (reaching prime vs getting old).
Khris Middleton Out NBA Cup Final This is really unfortunate. I hope Khris is okay but I also feel like this waters down the game - how much it represents the Bucks' strength, and the competitiveness and entertainment of the game perhaps. I hope Giannis gets a 40-piece and the Thunder win in a close, exciting game XD!
