Great article - the NBA is so true in that way, that when it comes playoff time, almost all the time the "power" teams or top seeds, etc. always seem to come out on top. The Mavericks were a great example of one of the few instances where that narrative wasn't true. I'm with you for this year, it would be crazy to see a Thunder or Trailblazers squad get it done in the playoffs over the powerhouses that are GS and HOU. I'll be rooting with you for that to happen.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it man! It was a ton of fun to write too. Welcome to Plaoff Underdog Island! No GS or HOU fans allowed. We can even bring Cleveland or Toronto aboard that'd be crazy if those squads actually pull it off too.
That's awesome, it's always good to not just be able to share a post, but enjoy writing it as well! I agree it would be crazy if Cleveland or Toronto could pull it off too! I'm like the rarest bread of NBA fan - A Milwaukee Bucks fan! (Since I was little not just the Giannis days lol - I can remember Glen Robinson, Sam Cassell and Ray Allen almost getting us to the Finals if it wasn't for Allen Iverson). Anyway's I'm also not delusional enough to think the Bucks can win it this year. But I'll be rooting for them and for all of these other teams to do the unthinkable!
Dang, you're the first bucks fan I've come across! Good for you for sticking with the squad through the perennial 6-8 seed with no stars years. I always wondered how tough that is... But now that you got a rare talent like Giannis they're a way more attractive free agency destination!
Thanks man I appreciate it, it hasn't always been easy lol. I lived out east during the Celtics Garnett, Pierce, Rondo championship days and that was rough lol. That is true - obviously couldn't be more pumped about Giannis, and they are getting ready to open a new arena as well so things are hopefully looking on the upside - just need to land another free agent or two and hopefully we can take the next step.
