Milwaukee Bucks are giving HC Tom Thibadeou a 3-year extension after winning the Bucks’ 1st NBA Championship in half a century

NBA released the 2021-22 schedule for all 30 NBA teams starting Oct. 19th & concluding Apr 10th. The league will feature 75 NBA Classic matchups to “celebrate the teams, players, coaches & moments that have defined 75 years of NBA basketball”

NBA announced the 2021-22 opening week primetime schedule and Christmas Day slate ft. Hawks vs. Knicks, Celtics vs. Bucks, Warriors vs. Suns, Lakers vs. Nets, and Jazz vs. Mavericks

Giannis Antetokounmpo had a legendary Game 6 performance with 50 PTS, 14 REB, 5 BLK while draining 17-19 FT to lead Milwaukee to a title-clinching victory over Phoenix while winning Finals MVP after a historic 1st Finals appearance (35.2 PPG, 13.2 RPG, 5.0 APG, 61.8% FG) despite coming off the knee injury

Jrue Holiday & Giannis connected for an all-time alley-oop to cap off their historic Game 5 comeback win in Phoenix to take a 3-2 series lead

Giannis’ clutch rejection on Deandre Ayton’s alley oop attempt helped fuel the Bucks big Game 4 win over Phoenix thanks to Middleton’s own heroics including 14 4th Qtr PTS to fuel his 40 piece to outduel Devin Booker’s 42 and tie the series up 2-2

Giannis’ monster performance of 41 PTS & 13 REB and Jrue Holiday’s hot 3rd Qtr helped lead the Bucks blowout win over the Suns in Game 3 of the NBA Finals to get back into the series

Despite Giannis’ monster game (42 PTS & 10 REB), the rest of Bucks struggled, giving the Suns a 2-0 series lead thanks to Devin Booker, CP3, and Mikal Bridges combining for 81 PTS

Khris Middleton & Jrue Holiday came up big for the Bucks in Game 6 to lead Milwaukee to their 1st NBA Finals in almost 50 years despite Giannis missing Games 5-6 vs. Atlanta

Brook Lopez stepped up with a playoff career-high 33 PTS on 14-18 FG (78%) to lead the Bucks over Atlanta in ECF Game 5 with Giannis (knee) and Trae Young (ankle) both out as Milwaukee is now 1 game away from their 1st Finals in almost 50 years

Giannis became the latest of a long list of All-Star caliber players to suffer an injury in 2021 and it cost Milwaukee Game 4 as the Trae Young-less Hawks 25-10 run after Giannis’ injury was too much to overcome as Lou Will & Bogdanovic stepped up to even up the series 2-2

Khris Middleton’s 4th Quarter takeover (20 PTS) led Milwaukee’s Game 3 comeback win over the Atlanta Hawks when Trae Young’s shimmying & logo 3’s turned south after an ankle injury neutralized him down the stretch; Middleton outscored ATL himself 20-17 in Q4

Trae Young exploded for 48 points and 11 assists to lead Atlanta over Milwaukee in another Game 1 road win for the No.5 seed Hawks as the Bucks blew a late lead and couldn’t take it to OT on Khris Middleton’s game-tying 3PA

An incredible 7-game series came down to a winner-take-all OT thriller where Giannis’ 40 PTS/13 REB outdueled KD’s 48 PTS (highest in Game 7 history) since Durant was out of gas after game-tying shot forced OT (0-6 FG in OT) and Giannis/Middleton both hit the clutch shots to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals

Giannis and Middleton’s big Game 6 helped the Bucks force a Game 7 against Brooklyn in the Eastern Conference Semifinals
