2021 NBA Finals: (2)Phoenix Suns vs (3)Milwaukee Bucks

Ok, I did the others (I know, sad :P):

Some caveats: 3 Finals didn't have threads dedicated to them, but instead were part of a general "playoffs thread". I approximated the comments for those Finals by counting roughly from the last post relating to the last Conference Finals game. In the early days things were more loose and there was some leakage with people creating topics relating to the Finals which should be counted toward the Finals total but I do have some life

With that being said, I give you OS's 19 NBA Finals Threads:

• Nets vs. Spurs: 253 (comments) - (views) 3,415
• Lakers vs. Pistons: 1,105 - 26,952
• Spurs vs. Pistons: 501 (comments, approximately)
• Mavericks vs. Heat: 2,341 - 62,493
• Spurs vs. Cavaliers: 928 (approx.)
• Lakers vs. Celtics: 2,305 (approx.)
• Lakers vs. Magic: 2,406 - 71,512
• Lakers vs. Celtics: Part II: 4,991 - 169,703
• Mavericks vs. Heat: 5,745 - 232,716
• Heat vs. OKC: 3,860 - 154,481
• Heat vs. Spurs: 5,049 - 202,481
• Heat vs. Spurs: Part II: 2,724 - 138,921
• Warriors vs. Cavaliers: 5,654 - 211,952
• Warriors vs. Cavaliers: Part II: 6,024 - 271,712
• Warriors vs. Cavaliers: Part III: 2,639 - 98,571
• Warriors vs. Cavaliers: Part IV: 2,107 - 65,854
• Warriors vs. Raptors: 2,743 - 86,401
• Lakers vs. Heat: 1,518 - 47,356
• Bucks vs. Suns: 1,275 - 27,746

There needs to be a sticky for the definition between a Superteam vs a big 3.

Imo

Supes: 07-12' Celtics, 10-14' Heat, 21' Nets

The Boys: 16-19' Warriors , 15-18' Cavs , 21' Bucks

KD = Hughie lol

Calling KCP the their 3rd best player implied that I was talking about last season for starters when they were labeled a super team after giving up “too much” for AD. (KCP was also *** this season so that wouldn’t make sense). And they had a roster half full of guys nobody else wanted, even added Dion and JR for good measure, which made it humorous to me that they were labeled as such.. Which is part of why I posted. Didn’t know it would active your Skip senses.

And they weren’t a super team when they traded a package away for AD, Nets weren’t considered a super team because they had a package for Harden, Houston wasn’t a super team for having a package to get Westbrook, Toronto not a super team for having a package to get Kawhi.. do I need to keep going on about how having a package to land an All-Star doesn’t = super team, or are you only here because this was related to LeBron per the usual?

Also it’s the 22nd pick. And yes the other might be 30 although Bron would likely be retired by then and AD snapped in half so who knows it could also be top 5 [emoji2371].

And I already backtracked on my post about that trade when I said y’all were right that Portland wouldn’t trade Dame without getting them 1.) closer to a ring, 2.) full rebuild, neither of which that package would fit without other big moves they can unlikely make.

And are you calling them a super-team after telling me everyone one of those guys were trash? [emoji848] I think you called them toilet paper actually lol. Flushable *** trash.

Also if they’re a super team and all it takes is no Bron for them to be awful, like a lot of his other “super teams” are you ready to come to grips with the fact that he’s what is making them super? [emoji4]

No I’m telling you if 2 top 5 players in the league are on the same team, it’s a ****ing superteam. Superteams in the league have always been top heavy. That’s how it works with a salary cap. Individually Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Glen Davis, Richard Jefferson, Nate Robinson, Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala, Mario Chalmers, Joel Anthony, Eddie House, Nate Robinson, James Jones, Kyle Kuzma, He Who Won’t Be Named, Norris Cole, Kendrick Perkins, JR Smith, Chris Anderson, James Posey, PJ Brown, Tony Allen, David West, Omri Casspi, Quinn Cook, Avery Bradley, KCP, JaVale McGee, etc. aren’t worth toilet paper but the superstars on the team are why they’re teams are considered superteams. Super teams have always had these guys that aren’t that good and not worth a **** in a trade logging heavy minutes for them because you have to fill out a roster with something after your guys that make it a superteam get paid.

Injuries do happen and nothing will take away from the Bucks season. they are the champs forever.

But Phoenix had the luckiest breaks run arguably of all time. Down 2-1 about to go down 3-1 and then no more AD. No Murray in Denver. No Kawhi in LAC. Etc.

Please do not compare ****ing Donte D and Saric to freaking AD, Kawhi, Murray, Kyrie, and Harden though. That's beyond laughable

To be fair the suns were playing either with a hobbled cp3 or without him. That series was fair and Kuzma said it best: "they had much more chemistry than us".

Re: 2021 NBA Finals: (2)Phoenix Suns vs (3)Milwaukee Bucks

In game 3 when LBJ was dancing and laughing on Crowder the serie seemed over but they were without CP3 if I remember correctly. At full strenght that would've been a close one that could've gone either way. Even with AD we would've needes more from LBJ and he didn't have it.

Damn is the first full family in a sport to win championships? In back-to-back seasons no less.

The Bucks 71 team didn't have a parade and don't know where the trophy is.

Great seeing Michael Redd, Brandon Jennings, Marques Johnson and Herb Kohl join the parade.

I think Kareem, The Big O, and Johnny Mac are at the Forum.

Nice for the city of Milwaukee and deserving.

I was listening to a interview with Johnny Mac recently and he said they have asked the entire organization from that time where the trophy is. No has any idea.

The Lakers aren't no damn superteam, please stop. The Nets are the only superteam in existence right now, 2019-20 was superteam free.


Again, THIS is the same Lakers roster that most of y'all on here predicted to finish 5th at best in the WC in 2019-20.

Re: 2021 NBA Finals: (2)Phoenix Suns vs (3)Milwaukee Bucks

Class:

Just so you know, after getting off the team bus Giannis Antetokounmpo walked over to speak with Senator Herb Kohl, who owned the Bucks when he was drafted, before stepping on stage.

Wisconsin now has declared today as Bucks in 6 day.

Thank you Branden Jennings.

Agree with you, that was no super team. Super team means big 3 to me in this day and age to me.
