That and allowing Murray to play.

I would have been mad after game 2 and he didn't get a suspension, but I would especially mad now that the Nuggets tied the series up.

MartyConlonOnTheRun wrote:As for the Bucks, sure in hindsight it was idiotic, but we were 2 games out of the play-in at the end of the season. Do we beat the Hawks and Celtics without Giannis? Like no way in hell I want to be in a play in game with our shooting where 1 bad game means we get the Celtics in the first round and 2 bad games mean we are out.

Inside the NBA, which, despite Shaq's presence (IMO), is and has been just about the only watchable sports talk programming on TV for the past two decades, will be coming to an end.
I'm legitimately sad. I love the original trio.
Sources continue to insist Comcast’s NBCUniversal will capture the third NBA package — and likely unveil a “Basketball Night in America’’ telecast — with its annual bid of $2.5B. Although details are still being massaged with nothing finalized, those sources believe there is little WBD CEO David Zaslav can do to overtake NBC unless he coughs up as much as $2.8B or more to overpay for the package. Or, according to the sources, unless he takes the league to court.
Reports surfaced last month that incumbent WBD exited its exclusive negotiating window with the league believing it could match any bid from NBC or the like, dollar for dollar. However, sources reiterated Wednesday that the NBA believes a dollar-for-dollar match is not enough, that NBC is an over-the-air network with multiple broadcast windows and an RSN infrastructure that WBD cannot replicate.
“NBC has made their bid, and they’re not budging,’’ a media industry source said. “So it’s over, right? And Warner Bros. is saying, ‘We’ll match it,’ and (Commissioner Adam Silver) is probably saying: ‘It’s not matched.’ ’’
…“There’s no mystery to this,” the source said. “It’s pretty blatant what’s happening. [WBD CEO] David Zaslav realizes he has to have this and doesn’t want to pay more than $2.5B. And Adam’s saying, honestly, it’s not matched at $2.5. And [Zaslav] goes, ‘Yes, it is,’ and they’re going back and forth.’ And so that’s where we are. How do you let [WBD] down? Is there a way? Or does Zaslav come up with more money? Because then it doesn’t have to be matching because David’s paid more.”
