The NBA Cup ended this week with our new champion.
The Milwaukee Bucks are the 2nd NBA Cup Champions! Congrats to everyone on the Milwaukee Bucks on this impressive achievement! Giannis won NBA Cup MVP after dropping a Triple Double in the final. As for the Thunder, they're shooting performance from beyond the arc wad probably the worst I've ever witnessed. Only scoring 5 threes in the game. And shooting 34% from the field is unacceptable especially from a team with all these elite shooters who's job is to get high percentage shots off.
Miami Heat @ Detroit Pistons was a cracker of a game. Definitely the game of the week this week, whenever there's an overtime game, it's always a joy to watch, but since of how close it was for the whole game, and to be decided by Jimmy Butler's shoe falling off which led to the Pistons scoring the game winner. Jimmy with a Triple Double and Cade with a Triple Double, both teams deserved to win. But a shoe decided it all.
Pelicans still trash. I thought they would just improve as the season goes on, players coming back from injury and they're back. But no, they're just getting worse and worse, if it's time to trade Herb, Ingram and Zion I don't know. But I think it's too late to. Ingram has lost massive value recently, Zion is fat and lazy. At least Herb is actually good and can be traded for good value. But that's not enough to save the Pelicans.
Warriors bad week. Not winning a game this week is not good from a team who were so strong at the start of the season. And getting blown out by the Grizzlies. How is it possible to be down by 50 points at the 3rd quarter!?!? Draymond getting 1 steal in the whole game, no points, no boards and no Assists. And Steph got, 2 POINTS!?!? Not a single 3 pointer? Not good enough. And a horrible debut for Schröder in Golden State. Sorry Dubs fans for roasting you, but it had to be done.
Some awards for this week.
Best Performance of the week: Luka's 41 point Triple Double against the Warriors. Great game from Luka helping the Mavs beat the Warriors in Klay's 2nd return this season.
Best player over the week: Luka Doncic. A really solid week from Luka. Having very good games in all of his games this season.
Best Team over the week: Milwaukee Bucks. If you win a trophy, you win Team of the week, simple as that. I don't care if it's the NBA Cup, it's still a trophy.
Worst Performance of the week: Draymond Green against the Grizzlies. Previously said why, 0 points, 0 boards and 0 Assists in the game, having 1 steal. Steph also wins this aswell as having 2 points from a starter is shocking, especially from Stephen Curry, a proven shooter.
Anything I missed please tell me and I'll add it in.
Thanks for reading week 5!
