They’ve done it: the Milwaukee Bucks have made the NBA Cup Final and will face off with the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder tomorrow in Las Vegas. This game doesn’t count in the standings, nor do the statistics accumulated therein, but unfortunately, and importantly, any injury a player sustains Tuesday evening will be very real. Why are we doing this again?
Getting here has already secured every player on both rosters a $206k bonus. The winners will get another $309k. The winner raises a banner and gets... bragging rights, I guess? Not an extra win in the standings.
