    What guy isn't real? Why?

    EDIT: Is it because of the flopping?

    Stupid that tonight’s game doesn’t count towards standings. Bucks are on a roll and need all the wins they can get. I think the winner should get the 83rd game in their record.

    Who’s watching tonight?

    I will be watching. Still rooting for Dame. Thunder is a championship caliber team. Bucks will need to bring their A game to win

    I kind of see where the NBA doesn't want to start recording 83rd game stats....

    They should have the cup winner record the game as a win, replace their last loss or something, so they get 82 games and the extra win. The cup loser doesn't record the cup loss. So it's kind of a "free roll" reward for the teams that make the final.

    Turns out OKC is trash. Go figure. Get Holmgren back, I guess. Not gonna win a title if your bench can’t make a 3.

    I know trash when I see it. SGA sucks when it matters. He’s failed his entire career.

    Everyone on the Bucks rotation other than Giannis can shoot the long ball

    I was talking about OKC’s bench. They finally hit a 3 at the end.

    Silver has responded to me. At the beginning of the 2020-21 season, the standings on the NBA app drew a line after the top 8 in each conference. I emailed him and said there should be a line after 6 and after 10. He emailed me back, said thanks, and the change was made. I’m not making this up.

    I doubt that had anything to do with it.

    I believe you. I remember reading something about that here. Crazy that was 4 years ago already.

    It was so obvious too. Like, why was I the first person to bring it up?
