The Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Cup Finals, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81. However, the Thunder shot 5-32 from 3, and Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Thunder soured their chances to win an NBA title following the ugly loss. Plus, they discuss the benching of Kirk Cousins by the Atlanta Falcons in favor of rookie QB Michael Penix Jr.

ham says not to celebrate because the nba cup is meaningless… Ham then goes on to say he shouldn't have been fired because he won the nba cup.
I think the NBA Cup was a successful idea. It at least made me genuinely more interested than I usually would’ve been at this point in the season. I would like to see the idea of the winner getting a bonus win in the win column.
for once i agree with Nick. If they shut the door on cousins they're not reopening it
As a bucks fan, stay on that side…
Falcons coach is the one who needs to be benched long term what a loser hope they lose to the giants step up coach accept the blame it is what it is when kirk was leading his division kirk didnt claim all the credit he give his team also give his team the credit but coach thinks kirk should accept all the blame for what the coach not doing his job what is the coach part of the falcons team?????? IT IS WHAT IT IS😮
Don’t worry about pressure for Penix. Boy was rapping last year when they were down against Oregon right before a game winning drive. he thrives under pressure.
I saw that SGA only scored more than 25 points twice in 7 games against the Bucks right before the game. I bet his under and Bucks ML 😂
NBA cup…. still a joke. 0 titles and 3 NBA cups knock it off
in no way will the bucks make the finals this year, let alone win it all
Lebron James said the cup tournament doesn’t matter though
Futures odds = softest markets. Books consistently miles apart
MPJ is actually going into a good situation with the Falcons. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.
Kd??!!! Bro, it's definitely AP. These guys are clueless.
So refreshing to hear some nba content, finally
This experience will be very valuable to the young thunder
Latter time this NFL analyst, they say something is crazy. The Atlanta Falcons beginning this season I said they should’ve gotten Russell Wilson and spend the money and they defense and the young quarterback they messed up everything but hopefully it worked out for them for young quarterback
Cousins plays like he doesn't wanna get hit anymore. He has been throwing the ball to guys who aren't even open to get rid of ball to avoid getting hit
Kirko Bangz
I think this cup will only be important when the eventual champion also wins the cup. If the bucks don’t win the cup it doesn’t really mean anything long term. Same thing with the lakers last year. It just gets lost in history. Seems like brownie points to me.
Giannis is also 2nd in mid-range shooting this year so far, only behind DeRozan. So he sured up that weakness in his game too. Just needs to shoot fts better, like y'all said. If he shot 70% from the line he'd be putting up 35+ ppg probably
NBA rating so low I forgot they talk about nba
Finally something I can agree with Nick and it's OKC lol.
WHAT! No one cares about A CUP EXCEPT THESE GUYS AND THE GUYS GETTING A BONUS CHECK! This is more cash grab 🗑️🗑️ by the NBA
They’re forcing midrange now but pushed Melo out the league for it 😒
With the way Kirk is playing, there's no way Kirk will win a playoff game or win the division.
