Yeah he might not be analyzing stuff all that much and all, but he has common sense and speaks his mind and I respect him the most out of these NBA TH-camrs
Darvin went off on the Lakers today too. It was all over twitter. In my opinion he told no lies but of course all the Lebron cult members were saying he's trash and scapegoating him as usual.
Thank you for this. They were CHUCKING BRICKS lol I was like yo OKC going to lose just because they taking too many threes lol but then the bucks did it too…I was like wtf is this
People already act like the regular season doesn't matter so if the in season tournament doesn't count towards the regular season record does that mean that it doesn't matter squared?
They really promote this in season tournament for weeks only for the actual final to not even count for the record or any players stats.... Not we got a meaningless game for a meaningless accolade that noone will ever take serious What the hell Adam Silver
Damn at least Tim didn't miss in the clutch 😂 I love Giannis but he did miss critical free throws multiple times and he knows it at least. He didn't miss in 2021 and that's the very first time he didn't falter in the most important times
@@vectory674I took you too literally perhaps, but still giannis didn't shoot much better in 2021 than normal, outside of finals game 6. And Duncan also doesn't shoot much better in high leverage situations than otherwise.
I've been saying, it's the most disgraceful addition to American Professional sports. The fact that Lebron and the Lakers popped champagne and hung a banner after "winning" this thing is even more shameful.
@@demonreacts7816 the cup should at least turn 1 of your lose record into a win and make it count to so your basically getting 2 wins for the cup that way players have something to fight for..
I am so glad these analysts that refuse to give Giannis his flowers were forced to watch Bucks Nationally Televised take down the almighty “number ONE DEFENSE”. As Giannis convincingly outplayed their shiny new toy, “SGA”- who several analysts said is will be the best player in the cup final!!!!! Better than the GREAK FREAK?! Last season, Giannis had 30 & 19 snd destroyed Shai and OKC (with Chet playing) in the regular season. Not a word was said by the media ignored it while they voted for Shai, who finished above Giannis on MVP ladder last season. Steven A, Perkins laughed pre game when Giannis said, “losing is not an option”. What a mentality for Giannis to prove them wrong!
You're mad delusional and are using the fact that neither team took this meaningless game serious as proof that the bucks can contend with the thunder lol. Cry more
"...the *GREAK* FREAK?!" lol Nah but for real though, statistically/analytically speaking, this Thunder team has a strong argument for being one of - if not the best - defensive team in NBA history. That doesn't mean they're infallible or impossible to overcome.
@@donnydogpiss4533 Best defensive team of ALL TIME in a era of no defense, great. Don't compare the king diva participation trophy era of NBA post 2005 with the game what was played before.
If you think about it, the in-season tournament is as valid as any playoff series... You win a round, you move on; you lose, you go home and better luck next year. If we talk about player stats in the tournament, Playoff games are not used to calculate stats per season... However, there's minimal history of in-season tournaments to compare performances or to use them as measures of greatness. Why can't we (NBA fans) just enjoy a competitive basketball game is beyond me 🤷♂
Like I've commented many times before. Teams are averaging 30-40 3s a game. Assuming an above average 40% completion rate. That's still more than 15 bricks a game. And that's just 1 team.
It would be impossible to schedule the regular season if the NBA Cup counted, because nobody knows which teams will play in that game. If it counted, two teams would have more games than the rest of the league.
Lowkey the fact that SGA's worst night of the season by far has been in the only game that didn't count for his stats or record is actually good for him😅 The game really was meaningless but I hope the Bucks players can enjoy the money they got
That 515 thousand they each won only holds value to like, 3 of the players on that team. Giannis and Dame probably make that on a biweekly level, if not way more than that
The nba cup is absolutely fucking ridiculous. A slop gimmick for a braindead league and fanbase. The sooner you stop giving this league the attention from you that it doesn’t value the better.
I don’t get why people hate on the cup so much, it’s gimmicky and could be better, but it definitely doesn’t make the games worse, and it seems like the players go harder in the cup games
NBA cup final doesnt count for record because they schedule the 82 game season for each team before the season. The cup final participants are determined after, so it would be an 83rd game on the schedule, and would potentially penalize the losing team for doing well in the prior cup games.
Why hello to you from Michigan!In Civ 6 my favorite leader was between Queen Victoria and Trajan of Rome. In Civ 7 I many have many more favorites as I actually like what they've done with the Civ switches as it sheds a light of more obscure Civs and makes nearly every leader at least decently playable
There's a lot of jokes in here, but in case people are really wondering why they can't count the game, it's because of the NBA wanting to do 2 things when they created the cup. They wanted to integrate it with the regular season, and they didn't want to create a disparity for any of its teams. Because of how the nba schedules games in advance, it's too complicated to block off 1 east/west game from every teams schedule without putting extended rest before and after the tbd game. If they did do that, it would cause at least 1 more back to back night for each team somewhere else. The other options are let it count, but why should the loser get hurt by an extra game. Or let it count only for the winner. it seems like there is a push for that, but the nba doesn't seem to want 1 team getting an 83rd game and the rest 82.
How both teams score less than 100 points in an Era with no defense? And scoring only 81 points in a game in this Era is crazy work...At least when the 90's did it, they did it against defense
Ok but I am confused Because only 8 teams make it to the actual tournament phase while the rest who doesn't get out of the group stage don't Doesn't that mean that all of these 8 teams played more games then because outside of the final, the semi finals and all that counted for the record
Wade and Bosh on the 2011 Heat came together very well. Wade and Bron technically came together very well on that same 2011 Heat team. Being #2 in the conference and making the Finals can't be argued as struggling to come together.
Maybe a hot take, but for the 1st time in many years I think the East is finally better than the West. I think the West is still deeper, but the top teams in the East (Boston, Cleveland & Milwaukee) are better than the top West teams.
I think what’s especially hilarious is that this is the 2nd year in a row where the NBA Cup ended on a 15+ lead and both times both the Lakers & Bucks did not 3pt chuck to win the game it started in the paint!
So I'm a die-hard Thunder fan. I came here to see how bad the fade would be with one of my favorite YTers, but I ended up laughing like always. Needed it after my squad played their worst game of the year with everyone watching. Too bad no one notices we have the number 8 offense to go with that number 1 defense. Glad it didn't count!
The game not counting is suppose to avoid a scheduling issue that stemmed from the cup finals taking a home game away from the participating teams. That’s all I can think of anyway, because last year there was some bitching about missing out on a home game.
I'm looking forward to Kingdom Come 2 Highly recommend the first game on hardcore mode if anyone hasn't played it. One of the better gaming experiences I've had the past few years
What irks me about teams chugging 45 3-point shots even when shooting 19% is that it must be some analytics bullshit. The probability of winning the game while throwing bricks well into the 3rd quarter must be higher than what it would be with interior play and back door cuts… so coach wants you to let it fly.
OKC bricking threes is their kryptonite. Eerily the same the Boston Celtics. Once that shot doesn't go in, they're stuck in mediocrity. The literal live and die by the three
OKC offense is very limited if SGA sucks OKC sucks Can't say that about Celtics if Tatum sucks then there is brown then there is white then there is porzingus then there is payton prichard then there is jrue
I watch Rugby and soccer. The cup competitions happening during the season never count towards your league record. It would make better sense if the NBA did not organise everything basketball related in America.
No wonder the ratings are ass for the NBA cup cause it just doesn't matter. It's like that meme picture with the 3rd place guy celebrating while the other 2 guys look at him as if he was crazy.
