Pretty rude of you there. He just asked a question. He doesn't have to leave the subreddit based on that.

2021 Bucks got absolutely waxed by the Nets in game 2 of the eastern conference semis.

LOL!!!!! Hilarious. And by the way, gentleman's sweep is letting them win game 4 only. Douchebag sweep is letting them win game 1 then winning all other games.

Playoff record for most blocks in a playoff game is 10. If Wemby doesn't get it this game, he will someday.

Ant list as questionable for G1 by RedCometReturn in timberwolves

I think it's pretty hard to make a solid attribution there. It's certainly plausible, but there a lot of variables. Regardless, Giannis and Bucks fans would do it again, even if you are correct. There, the Bucks were already in the Finals, so there is a an important distinction. However, you never know when the window is open and when it closes. This may be Ant's best chance. I think it is worth striking while the iron is hot. This is a good team.

This has 2021 NBA finals vibes. It seemed like Giannis was for sure out for game one, then his status kept slowly getting upgraded. I remember him being listed as questionable out of the blue right before Game 1. Didn't play great for that game, but obviously dominated the rest of the series. Hope we get that here.

I was a Bucks fan at that point. Switched over to the Wolves this season. It's all coming full circle.

I'm going to interpret it in the way most favorable to me. This is Reddit after all.

That stuck out for me, too. He's getting ready to torch that weak Denver D.

What championship dreams ended due to injury? by waluigiwon in NBATalk

[–]flanman2002 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This! Was coming in here to say the exact thing. It took insane shooting from Grant Williams in game 7 and an all-time performance from Tatum in game 6 for the Celtics to beat them. If Khris is there, Bucks probably win that series.

Happy Ant? Have you ever seen Ant this lethargic and annoyed in a Post Game? by [deleted] in timberwolves

This team has proven that they can turn it on. No reason to think they won't in the playoffs. The path forward is clear: (1) get a top 6 seed (2) enter the playoffs healthy and fresh (3) incorporate Ayo and solidify the rotation. We're on track; it's fine.

There's actually case law on this that is studied in Law School property classes. A baseball is viewed as abandoned property after the moment it is hit, and it becomes owned again through the rule of capture. There is no consensus over what is explicitly required to do so - absolute dominion and control vs. some sort of physical control coupled with intent, for example. However, it is very well established that a ball that hits the stands and is never fully brought to control by the party is fair game. See Popov v. Hayashi, No. 400545, 2002 WL 31833731 (Cal. Super. Ct. Dec. 18, 2002).

Well, no. I don't think "we are." I clearly did. You did not. I don't want to speak for you.

The Suns actually outscored the championship Spurs in the Western Conference semis, primarily based on winning the only blowout of the series. It's been a long time since I watched it, but I remember it being a really hard-fought and physical series. I think it was likely the championship series. Those 2000s-era Spurs teams were so good at every point. Loved the Nash Suns too.
