Bucks back to 2-2.

[Meanwood Villa]

They went 3-2 down but have now forced game 7.

[AV82EC]

It’ll be tough for them at the Nets, all games gone with home advantage so far.

[Meanwood Villa]

Bucks win!

Bucks win!

....and are now favo(u)rites to win the title

[UK Redsox]

It'll be quite some performance if the Bucks win it all now

Giannis is out for the playoffs

Basketball is the team sport where one player can dominate the most

Winner of Bucks v Hawks will meet the Suns in the finals

Bucks (no Giannis) win, 3-2 up

[Meanwood Villa]

And they're in the finals!

Wes's Bucks at 2-2 in finals. Giannis is playing. Seems an exciting series but was reading something yesterday saying the Euros final got higher viewership than any of the Finals games so far.

Milwaukee v Phoenix ain’t Lakers v Celtics, so TV figures are likely to be down.

Just looked at the two squads. I only recognised three names, Giannis, Lopez & Chris Paul.

I’m not listening to anywhere near as much US sports talk radio as I used to or watching PTI/Sports Center, so I’m not up to date with the top players any more.

The discussion I saw said that a lot of the media coverage had focused on the finalists being small market teams with little general interest and suggested the broadcasters had shot themselves in the foot. There were also plenty of complaints about the number of stoppages towards the end of matches as a reason for people turning off.

[UK Redsox]

Yep, the last couple of minutes of a basketball game is just about unwatchable

Meanwhile Milwaukee Villa are now 3-2 up. Game 6 at 2am our time on Tuesday Wednesday morning.

I known that it's being discussed in the main Owners thread, but just to tidy up this one.......

Milwaukee Villa are NBA Champions for the first time in 50 years

[Meanwood Villa]

Well done the Bucks. Hopefully Wes has the winning bug now.

LeBron becomes the NBA's all time leading scorer

One of those 'I feel bloody old moments', because the hype over LeBron as a High School player 20 years ago was at the peak of my listening to US sports talk radio.
