Oh c'mon... It was way worse than that. Bucks had a sub-standard game as well. If the Bucks had a good game this would have ended 3 minutes into the 3rd QT. OKC was horrendous. My guess is that they were partying all night. I can't explain this otherwise.
@ bucks had a sub standard game? They were facing the #1 defense in the nba and the #8 offense. They held them to 81 points. Just 31 points in the second half. Bucks shot 42%, but also 42% from 3. They had 52 boards, 25 assists. They went up double digits in the 3rd quarter and never looked back. But sure substandard. Gotcha. lol.
Giannis literally better than any european player and is the best player rn. Dpoy/mvp in one season then fmvp the next then fmvp in season. Generational run
Can't believe Tim Leglar said Chet was the reason they were out manned. Chet vs. Giannis? That is crazy he made that comparison. No big man can go against Giannis when he is like this. Strong and agile. No one.
Chet brings a different dynamic in OKC's lineups. Chet can stretch the floor and is one of the best rim protectors. No one can stop giannis one on one. It requires a team and with chet they have a better chance.
@@cabbage8742 Do you know why OKC went and got Isaiah? Because Chet is a "Big man" . Watch OKC games and see why he gets pushed around plus he is no much for Giannis. OKC are good on paper.
Didn’t this analysts say the bucks stood no chance and thunders Number 1 defense would dominate the bucks, Now the bucks won, They had an advantage? Really ?…why didn’t we hear about this advantage before the game began 😂
@@Uyeia77 Dude, you are lying. Jokic's big, fat hands and huge torso weigh more than Giannis and his brothers put together. Jokic's size is such an advantage that the only person who beats him every time they meet is Embiid. That's why Embiid stumps him in Paris again, as he is as big as Jokic.
Reality is, bucks made OKC disorganized. The defense was too much for OKC and having to try and guard giannis with doubles while dame lillard and a bunch of shooters are on the floor just didn't work. OKC missed their 3s because they were all out of position, rushed, disoriented, and anxious. bucks scared them lol
Ajax had sga scared. He tested him 5 times. Ajax shut him down each time and he got passive the rest of the game after that. OKC are not use to people being able to stop sga. And it turns out once he’s shut down, their offense falls apart.
@@focuz4899They didn’t hold them to anything. OKC shot themselves in the foot. It was there worst shooting game all season. They missed wide open threes and missed alot of uncontested shots all game.
As a hawks fan, how anyone doesn’t understand Giannis is the best player in world is beyond me smh dude can score better than anybody in the league and Jokic for sure isn’t making ANY of those defensive plays he made…
Seriously, Giannis can score at will Jokic can’t he’s just good at understanding when he has an easier opportunity to score. Jokic is a past first guy and his own offense feeds off people being worried about his passing and competent teammates. Giannis is the opposite…he’s such a dominant force that he gets assists from being nearly unstoppable, and defensively it’s really not close.
The ENTIRE ESPN Crew picked the Thunder to win by a landslide. Perkins said Isaiah Hartenstein is a TOP TEN CENTER 🤣🤣🤣 Malika said they had studs on the defensive end. 8 players ranked top in defense statistically. They all said OKC best shooting team in the entire league. Problem is… OKC do not perform in a Playoff atmosphere. SGA not a Leader of Men. Go ahead and give him the MVP, apparently there are only a few players that true MVPs.
There is something to be said for being battle tested and ready for the moment. Bucks core outside of dame are title owners. The moment is never too big for them. Bucks also showed hey we can play defense too.
That’s the problem THEY DONT THINK IT MATTERS! Media is too busy glazing analytic stats like box +/- VROP, and other nerdy stats that dudes who never hooped before came up with
@@Jomiloju-xw6wgTbf Russell winning mvp the first year he averaged a triple double gave the voters what they needed to give Joker is first mvp over giving Giannis his third straight mvp when he was better statistically than he was when he won his two MVPs.

I went back and looked at some comment threads leading up to the final where OKC fans were talking trash, and a lot of them have now been deleted. I guess the Oklahoma hillbillies could not handle that reality check..🤡😅
Teams should have plan B. That's why many veterans are not happy with the way we've turned NBA to a 3-point contest. OKC didn't come to the game with a plan B. If 3's are not dropping, give up on it and accept it's just one of those nights. Use layups and midrange to keep your team in the game and get rhythm. Maybe 3's would start dropping later. There is 60-70% chance that a great player would be fouled while attempting layups.
@@romanvercier3556 “Bullied” implies they scored a bunch in the paint and stopped Okc from scoring in the paint but the actual difference in the game was outside shooting that’s all I’m saying… Bucks played well but it wasn’t because they were physically dominating necessarily
@@afalseerra9517 32 threes is low for 3 point attempts that would be 29th in NBA… but I know they would’ve taken more if some were going in. Bucks defense was good not denying that I just don’t buy the bullying narrative
It was great to see the bucks win the old school way throw it inside and go beast mode in paint and lock down defense this team can make a run back to finals mark it down bucks are back and my favorite team is the warriors
Giannis is the only player who could retire right now at 30 and be a first Ballot HoF. He was also the only player in the top 75 to be under 30. Let that sink in
Nope, he picked OKC and said that they would beat The Bucks by a landslide, never talked about Milwaukee having an advantage over OKC. Now that they lost, he's looking for excuses kike they didnt have Chet, didnt even acknowledged Giannis's triple double
This game turned out exactly the way I was expecting it btw... Giannis and Dame combo healthy and played good... it's enough to win over a young team with lack of high stake game experience.
The hate for my bucks is real but we will used this emirates cup championship to build for the playoffs.the ultimate goal 🥅 is to capture the world Championship the NBA title 🏆🦌🍾
Cause y'all trash. Barely over .500. stop it. Celtics fan here. Only reason to play would be for the money and honestly not everyone would even care about that. What place r the bucks in? My Celtics are 2nd, one game behind Cavs

OKC will beat the Celtics. They don’t have anywhere near the size of the Bucks. Seems like a rock paper scissors scenario. Dort/Williams too big for Dame too small for Giannis but perfect for the Boston 2
As an NBA fan my team winning the NBA cup is as meaningful and exciting as my favorite baseball team having the best record in spring training! Ps this comment not sanctioned by the NBA or ESPN of course!
The Thunder have a G League Head Coach....That is their weaken ...that coach can not scheme or make the proper adjustments in the post season or a tournament...He needs a seasoned assistant that can help....It got them beat last night and last year against the Mavs....The coach isn't ready for primetime.....
I'm a bucks fan. I don't remember ever seen a high-stakes bucks game where the opposing team were shooting so poorly. The 2nd half was all about the refs ticky-tacky calls keeping the game close. But the Bucks didn't shoot very well by their standards either - Vegas is a _distraction_ and add to that the high-stakes game... Everything becomes more complicated. I was expecting OKC to pick-it up during the 2nd QT and the Bucks to pick-it up slightly. The Bucks did punish the OKC down-low but only in the 2nd part of the 3rd QT. SGA was nowhere to be found, I was expecting a 3rd QT explosion but that didn't happen either... At a certain point, in the 4th OKC couldn't score layups. They would literally leave the ball in MIL's basket the ball would come as if enchanted by Harry-Potter style charm or something. On the other end the bucks were mediocre - yes Giannis and Brook played ok, but Bobby wasn't effective on Offence and in D he could rebound just because OKC was playing with 4 guards and a stretch 3 at the 5. This was such a strange game. Lastly, these games are often attrition games... Where you miss and opponents miss, etc. There is no-one in the NBA who can effectively play this game with Giannis and expect to come on top.
The OKC needs a couple of 3pt shooters and the Milwaukee needs a stronger bench or a 3rd "star" for the playoffs, cuz if Dame or Giannis get injured, they aren't enough anymore.
dame dolla deserved to win this championship more than anything !!! one of the best to do ever do it now is finally a champion..on to the nba finals now 💯🦌💰💰🏆
It will probably take a decade for American fans to get the point of enabling any one from the 30 teams to get a trophy.. so healthy for each organization that does have a good team ( you really need to be half decent to make a 7-0 run) to get rewarded even if they cant go all the way in the finals of a championship. Imagine that Orlando Magic of Tim and Shaq, Utah of Stockton and Malone, Indiana of Reggie, Suns of Barkley.... In Europe of course is second to championship but the CUP when established ( in 10 years from now in NBA) becoming meaningful and desired by players and fans with the knock-out nature, it will have a completely different and unmatched aura!!!! Give it time to grow and you will see how beautiful it is to watch a game with 2 good teams knowing there is no tomorrow!!!
They have no reason to be biased in favor of OKC. They are a small market team amd they don't even have a chtistmas day game. I think they mentioned chet because they think he has a bigger impact compared to middleton. I don't watch a lot of milwaukee games but they say middleton comes off the bench sometimes.
@cabbage8742 they just hate the Bucks, and its not even a secret. When the Bucks win, they dont acknowledge them. When they lose, they automatically start the "trading Giannis" campaign. ESPN just a bunch of clowns
The bucks played good defense for sure but the thunder also had a lot of clean looks especially SGA. Looks that they normally make but didn't make last night. SGA went to his spots at will but couldn't convert. The bucks did a good job defending but it's also on OKC for shooting horrendously.
@@cabbage8742 If a player isn’t in rhythm those clean looks aren’t actually clean. They’re rushed out of rhythm attempts which is why they missed so many of them.
The “NBA Cup” needs NO confetti, NO HATS, and needs a smaller trophy……it currently looks and feels too much like it wants to be the regular championship, and nobody wants that
“Game didn’t live up the hype and billing”

2025 is round the corner and Legler still can't say Giannis' name right.
It will probably take a decade for American fans to get the point of enabling any one from the 30 teams to get a trophy.. so healthy for each organization that does have a good team ( you really need to be half decent to make a 7-0 run) to get rewarded even if they cant go all the way in the finals of a championship. Imagine that Orlando Magic of Tim and Shaq, Utah of Stockton and Malone, Indiana of Reggie, Suns of Barkley.... In Europe of course is second to championship but the CUP when established ( in 10 years from now in NBA) becoming meaningful and desired by players and fans with the knock-out nature, it will have a completely different and unmatched aura!!!! Give it time to grow and you will see how beautiful it is to watch a game with 2 good teams knowing there is no tomorrow!!!
Plees keep zooming in on thanasis after every play
Congrats on winning participation Cup
Meanwhile my Warriors are goin in the opposite direction startin off 10-2 and now 14-11 😢
This game should be on Christmas Day
They said no Chet for OKC but failed to mention no Middleton for the bucks smh, Media should be canceled for their bias
They have no reason to be biased in favor of OKC. They are a small market team amd they don't even have a chtistmas day game. I think they mentioned chet because they think he has a bigger impact compared to middleton. I don't watch a lot of milwaukee games but they say middleton comes off the bench sometimes.
@cabbage8742 they just hate the Bucks, and its not even a secret. When the Bucks win, they dont acknowledge them. When they lose, they automatically start the "trading Giannis" campaign. ESPN just a bunch of clowns
I love greek. The best player ever
now the Lecurse begins
Gianni's the best player ever all around period!! He been better than LeBron in 2020 LeBron never been on this level he on this season!
Media is a Joke, they picked the Bucks to lose an was wrong lol now their saying OKC just missed, how about the Bucks played good defense
The bucks played good defense for sure but the thunder also had a lot of clean looks especially SGA. Looks that they normally make but didn't make last night. SGA went to his spots at will but couldn't convert. The bucks did a good job defending but it's also on OKC for shooting horrendously.
@@cabbage8742 If a player isn’t in rhythm those clean looks aren’t actually clean. They’re rushed out of rhythm attempts which is why they missed so many of them.
Just love Giannis bully ball offensively and defensively
The “NBA Cup” needs NO confetti, NO HATS, and needs a smaller trophy……it currently looks and feels too much like it wants to be the regular championship, and nobody wants that
i guess okc needs jimmy butler
