I’m sailing the high seas at the moment, so I’ll miss most of the first game.
Will @supercyclone’s bold Hawks pick pay off?

This court is so inoffensive that I forgot it was even a special Emirates Cup court.
Will the teams learn to take more subtle approaches next year and spare our poor eyeballs?

Rockets could win and then beat the Bucks in the finals. Then we would have to go to second tiebreaker.

So , if thunder loses tonight, would it be the next step the MVP?

Yes, If Bucks win the final Giannis will definitely win MVP. But if Rockets win the final then we would go to second tiebreaker. I am rooting for the Thunder though. I hope you win it.

MVP is awarded for the entire Emirates Cup, so Giannis would most likely win it, regardless of whether they beat the Rockets.
If the Thunder do lose, you'll see why I loved @carresan's tiebreaker.

You can't give the MVP to a losing player. While that seems logical because Giannis has been awesome. I don't see it happening.

Ok, I see. Have we spoken about a second tiebreaker yet? 🤔

I haven't gone back to check the rules. Honestly, you all have more incentive to figure this out than I do.
If I didn't provide a second tiebreaker, then I'll have you pick scores for the championship game. The first tiebreaker would be spread and the second would be total.

This mean Carresan wins the pool right?

That's what I thought, but @grayruby used a sleazy loophole to remain in the competition.
@Carresan will still have to win the final round or tiebreaker.

Under advisement of my legal counsel, I relinquish my right to protest your interpretation of the rules and rescind my challenge to @Carresan’s victory. I also waive my right to any and all further challenges to the rule set that have not already been lodged.
I formally drop my petition against stacker sports and undisciplined.
I whole heartedly congratulate the deserving victor @Carresan.
Signed,

You guys watching the OKC vs Rockets game? Tight defense and low scoring by both teams.

I love it. The Thunder seem like they'd be so annoying to play against.
That alley-oop to Thompson was awesome. That kid can fly.

I believe it was a lob from VanVleet? That was a great play.
This game is tight. Shaping up to be another good game tonight.

I’ve always liked VanVleet, but probably not quite as much as you and @grayruby do.

Just got home but it appears the Hawks vs Bucks game is on a channel I do not get. I guess I will have to just keep an eye on the score and watch the later game.

I don't get TNT. Usually TSN shows the games but they are showing CFB and CBB right now. They have the Thunder game on later. All good.
I am keeping an eye on espn gamecast.

I hope you catch the end. It's a very tight game. I missed the entire first half, but Trae's been really good in the third.

I'm watching right now. Just turned it on about 5 minutes ago. Hearing the commentators say a total Trae Young takeover in the third. Seeing Bucks taking a missing several 3's. If the 4th also goes this way, the Hawks may just be able to get it done and complete the upset. Let's see what the 4th brings.
You able to squeeze out some time to watch the game during your vacation?

Yeah, I'll be able to watch the rest of this one and most of the late game (possibly even with relatively few disruptions).

Nice. I feel like it's a luxury to be able to watch basketball uninterrupted these days. I don't think I can finish the rest of this game, because I have to go pickup my little one from Chinese school soon. Game is shaping up to be a tight finish, so I'll try to stay as late as possible before leaving.
Hey, if your wallet is not working, don't bother zapping my replies. I saw in another post that you were doing random 69-420 sats or something. Don't want you wasting sats on my trivial replies. I'm more than happy just having someone to talk basketball with.
