He was an elite shooter at Belmont. His upcoming summer league will be worth monitoring. He clearly can play NBA caliber defense which shows his worth. We'll see if Mathurin can keep Shep from taking his minutes moving forward.

Hilarious how it took this long for them to realize arguably the best glue guy on a college championship team in years (who’s also a great athlete) might be worth playing

Griffin was playing him. Doc wasn't.

That was on Lopez. Should have shot the ball.

Has Brook Lopez ever not travelled?

I’m not too bothered by it as I know how the NBA is and none of them were atrocious, but man, dude just dancing out there.

Bucks have shut down Siakam, but the rest of the Pacers are cooking.

I'm sure this was brought up already, but this was a weird ass tip. It's not even 7pm yet, and we're at half.

If you had told me that Bobby and Dame would be 3-16 in the first half, I would have expected a much larger deficit than this. If they can get it together in the second half, the Bucks have a chance.

Really bad second quarter from the Pacers there. They went away from everything that was working for them.

The Bucks are not shooting well at all and I don't think they'll be THIS cold in the second half, so the Pacers have got to be ready for a run. The Pacers were missing some good looks too, so hopefully they can make those to balance it out in the second half.

This game just doesn't feel like one Milwaukee can win, but I agree with what Perkins said at halftime, seems like they should have been leading by 25+. Bucks just need to hang around and see if they can steal this one.

Even more washed than Eric Gordon or IsaiahThomas?

The Pacers fouling 3 different 3 point shooters certainly didn't help.

How sad is it that the Pacers had to let the ref know that Bev traveled there?

He did it, it was absurdly obvious, the Pacers reacted to it, and then the ref was like "yea...alright...I guess that one was bad..."

What's the Pacers fans beef with Bobby Portis?
