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!
