the playoffs really suffer without fans

Did something happen? A flying elbow by Mr lemon pepper? I got tired of watching spaced floor threes and turned on some soccer.

I disagree. There have been several great moments. We are quick to forget that first round series are generally forgettable historically.

It's all been manufactured by the environment. You think Mitchell and Murray are trading blows like they did if they are on the road in a normal playoff series instead of in an AAU gym where they can walk 100 yards to their resort sweet to get sucked off by Minnie Mouse after the game? Hell no.

It still happened and can be memorable. What difference does the environment make? Trying to compare this postseason to others is a fool's errand the begin with.
The biggest drawback to the bubble is how condensed all these games are. Very little little to process and discuss storylines or performances.

I'm memory holing every single thing about 2020 including this plastic Velveeta bubble shit. Don't get me wrong, it's nice having something to watch, but this isn't going to be NBA canon for me.

I hope the Bucks take this approach to 2020 and keep the gang together next season. See if they can recapture that pre-covid groove. Don’t make big decisions during a pandemic!

I'd take doncic over Giannis but not Dame over Giannis. I'd need to find a kawhi type to actually win in the playoffs if I had Giannis though.

Derrick Rose was a more righteous MVP than Giannis

Weak ass foul on Bam. Close games are almost annoying at this point.

When Giannis come back they should just play through Middleton and tell freak to just clean up the mess and dunk. Basically make him into Bam type player.

Did the Bucks run a single play other than isos for Middleton in OT? Bud is so over his head.
