    Game 7 between the Nets and the Bucks starts in a couple of hours... Certainly the Nets are the favorites to win this, but people usually tend to ignore some of the most important factors which are related with winning or losing and in this game doesn't only mean "going home early for this season" as it does for the Bucks if the Nets lose this... It rather is a total disaster for the Nets if things go wrong and the Bucks get promoted over them...

    Let me explain...

    The Nets are currently 40M over the lux tax threshold, which means they will be paying another 60M to the league in taxation this season, but also have many empty roster spots upcoming which they can only fill if with minimum contracts, or by resigning their own players... As it stands, they are already committed to be 35M over the lux tax for the next season without even considering the empty roster spots.

    It simply means that the Nets can only be worst for the seasons which will follow, while the Bucks will be significantly better! The executives of the Nets do know that and therefore, they know that if they lose to the Bucks this season, they are as good as dead a season later and they will have to blow the team up instead of losing insane amounts of capital against a competition which betters its position continuously...

    It simply is a difference in culture when the decisions are taken on how to develop a winning team... There are two approaches, one is "lets put our money and buy the championship" (Lakers, now Nets) , the other is "lets built up a super team bit by bit which will last and contend for many years to come"...

    Therefore tonight, it not only is "an early exit for the loser"... It also is a battle of cultures in which the Bucks lose little (only the season) if they get beaten, but the Nets lose absolutely everything if the Bucks can take them out... It also explains why the Bucks have chosen to play the Nets this early instead of the Eastern finals (a 2nd round exit forces the creation of panic on the investors which lose their huge amounts of money).

    Still the Nets are the favorites to win this... but the pressure is on them and the psychological advantage is with the Bucks...

      It will all be decided on the last quarter of the 7th game! Bucks lead by only 1pt.

        A disaster for the Nets in O/T... One of the greatest victories in the Bucks history which will impact the future of the entire league.

          Has there ever been the situation that a bench doesn't score one single point in a playoff game like in this one? Incredible statline.

          Congrats Buckalis.

            Epic game 7 between Nets vs Bucks. In OT nobody had nothing left missing wide open shots because of fatique.

            5milimeters and Durant would have had serries winning shot. Sport gods was on Bucks side if believe such signs from gods Bucks will win the title ?

            After 2 previuos devastating playoofs Bucks is tougher mentally and more experience.

            They lost heartbreak versus 2019 Raptors now they won such serries in 2021 .

            Nets injuries aside still go and win GM7 on the road againts Kevin Durant showing his entire offensive arsenal it takes character and balls to do that.



            After all those playoofs failures in this injury/unpredictable season i think it would be fair to see Giannis and C.Paul playing in nba finals and one of them getting his ring.

              The Bucks will have to pass over the Sixers (or the Hawks) first to make it on the NBA finals and especially against Philly, it won't be easy after Divincenzo's season ending injury... The Bucks won't have the advantage they had in the painted area as they had against the Nets and the ability for Giannis to pick and roll the ball will be limited due to DDV's absence... IMO, the matching against the (hungry) Sixers is tougher than it was against the NETs. The Bucks will have to play stellar defense and their shooting must be on par with the Sixers to get over this.

              I think people still underestimate how crucial DDV's injury is for the Bucks... It wouldn't be if there was an alternative on the bench, but there isn't one.

                Stop with that divicenco nonsense when it's crusial games top 3 players team stars scorers like 80% of teams points either way.

                Nets,Lakers,Nuggets,Clippers lost alot more because of injuries than some role player.

                Nba playoofs was so much affected by injuries that Divi injury isn't even making top 10 most important injury.

                Divi or Ibaka injuries nobody even remembers when top 20 stars players couldn't play that's were serries changing injuries were.

                  As I said before, it wouldn't matter much if the Bucks would have a decent replacement, but they don't... You are not talking about "a role player" here, DDV is a key starter who would knock down 3s at better than 40% rate, a stellar defender who leads the Bucks in steals and causes breaking in the open court and additionally collects rebounds and scores 12+ other than play make the ball and assist it. He rightfully takes 30+ mins of playing time and is crucial for the Bucks functioning. The Bogdan deal was cancelled last season because the Bucks prefered to keep DDV over Bogdan.

                    Phoenix takes down the Clippers in game 1 of the western finals. CP3 will probably miss game 2 too, but he is expected back thereafter. Leonard's return (if there will be one) remains uncertain.

                      Ben Simmons and Doc Rivers should be asshamed of themselfs.

                      They both deserved to be fired. To lose serries againts obviously weaker opposition and loosing multiple +15pts leads in different games.

                      Just WOW

                      in this ridiculous injury playoofs : dream Nba finals Hawks-Suns still available

                        1000 Greek fans attended Game 7 in order to support Giannis (and therefore the Bucks) in Brooklyn... They couldn't have access to the tickets though because the Nets fans were high on demand, therefore the president of the NY Greek community called Thanasis Antetokounmpo for help... Thanasis bought the tickets and Giannis has thanked them for their presence just after the hang with Durant, as well as in the after the game interview which followed the Bucks victory!

                          Buddy... wake up! It's the Bucks they are playing against, not some Fuckadelphia fagot or even Rocky Balboa... They get swept out, the finals this season is Bucks vs, who ever comes out from the West... It's good no doubt to dream, but for what it lasts (a dream lasts 10'' the most)... a second later one is back to reality and it's Giannis (not Embiid), Middleton (not Tobias Harris) and Jrue Holiday (not Simmons) on the court... Therefore wake up!

                            wake up yourself start to understand irony. It was a joke im making about this atlanta hawks not the first time here.

                            Obviuosly Bucks are big favourite over Hawks if everybody stays healthy.

                            My joke point in this injury playoofs wouldnt shocked me seeing hawks-suns finals without top 10 leagues player in freaking nba finals.

                            Hawks have no business beating Sixers but they won the serries. Anything can happend in playoofs 2021 with so manny injuries.

                            Lakers was beating Suns 2-1 Davis injury in gm4 and lakers lost last 3 remaining games by 20pts on average.

                            Nets was beating Bucks 2-0 Irving and Harden injuries and Nets was eliminated thats how fast serries turns around.

                            One injury to any of bucks top 3 players and Atlanta can reach nba finals

                              One injury to any of bucks top 3 players and Atlanta easily can reach nba finals from what i saw in 2021 playoofs nothing would suprise me anymore.

                              1. The Hawks have beaten the Sixers straight and square.. They've beaten them three times in Philly! Not once or twice...

                              2. It"s not the "injury playoofs" as you call them... It's playoffs and it's no different to any other season... Sixers didn't have Simmons the previous season, Bucks had Giannis injured in the 2nd game of round 2, Durant and Thompson got heart badly a season earlier while in the western finals, the Lakers were out of the playoffs two seasons earlier because Lebron got heart mid season, Bucks don't have DDV this season, The Cavs won the East three seasons earlier because Irving and Hayward got heart mid season while on the Celtics, to make a long post short, it happens all the time! Still the best team wins because "load management" is part of the game!

                                I'm not sure why people in forums create subjects only to abandon them when things turn out to be different to their "sure to become" ideas... Or am I? (sure on the reasons why they do it)... In any case my intentions are to abandon posting on this forum on matters which aren't related or don't respect my team... LETS GO BUCKS... LETS DO THIS!
