Miami about to beat the Bucks! Wow
Yeah, I was looking at the scorebug on my computer like it was wrong
Like, Milwaukee has to have a comeback, right? The Heat spent so much money on that guy who was Bad, Actually! They can’t win, right???
edit: Apparently Giannis got hurt and the Bucks left the Heat shoot threes all night, and Miami shot 60% from beyond the arc. Which is totally sustainable.
What a game.
I mean, 13 points? I think hes anti stat padding against accusations of stat padding for the double reverse backdoor stat pad. Diabolical. Not my MVP.
I love playoff basketball.
1st round my favorite time of the year. Games every day, all day. Also lots more Inside the NBA. Chuck had a great line about Clarence Thomas last night:
It is malpractice to call what happened to Ja an instance of someone sliding under him while airborne - it was an extremely clear charge. Hate to say it but in this case he was the one doing the reckless thing.
leave this here
If Sacramento keeps winning, it's a bad thing. That means Vivek Ranadive will think he actually did something useful and will probably try to use his elementary school basketball coaching experience to dictate play style again.
Tons of turnovers and misses
At this rate we'll never activate hella pissed Steph
Monk has your back.
I mean, he should be pissed already. Didn't get a landing space foul on a 3 attempt, but maybe he needs to upgrade to mouth guard throw levels (without doing it)
light the steph
They must have stared in each others face and solemnly declared "no matter what happens, we will not call a foul during a Sabonks post up".
it's not double digits but hopefully a 6 point deficit will be enough to light the steph
He got a foul jumping into Jamychal Green who never left the floor, modern NBA special
There were a lot of bad calls, and bad non calls to go around. Honestly, i thought the reffing favored the Warriors (of course, i would), but mostly thought it was just wildly inconsistent.
I feel like there were some bad calls and the refs started going doing makeup calls and just never stopped.
Also I think Sabonis's big hit to the jaw was inadvertent and not a foul, but he just keeps getting mauled (which isn't abnormal for him) but that's got to be rough.
