Doc froze up about Dame & Giannis returning game 6. Think they're both back the way he did, smile on his face. "i don't know how to answer that. .. obviously i hope they are".

I wonder how much longer the medical staff can hold Giannis back from playing. Have to imagine the dude is itching to get out there and see what he can do.

Even if you're the biggest Khris hater on this board, you kinda just want this guy in the playoffs, no? His game has already aged, still super effective.

They mentioned the fan "screaming into the courtside mic" on the TNT post game show.

I don’t think we ever got a real answer why the Sixers did Pat Bev such a serious solid by putting him in the best possible situation with a conference rival for peanuts.

Some kind of agent favor trading behind the scenes at the least.

You think Philly doesn’t wish they had Bev right about now vs Cam Payne and a second?

How awesome would it be if Doc is playing coy all this time and Giannis was always scheduled to come back for game 6.

Giannis is doubtful/questionable the entire time and minutes before tipoff giannis gets his jersey on and walks up as the starter.

Pacers stand there like...

I've been feeling sad as hell for months and that one game may have just fixed it.

Then they'll be out sweating moist Jordan as he hoists open shots while they double those dudes.

If he’s even 75%, he should feel obliged to help out Khash. That dude is killing himself every game

I still can't imagine 45 hours from being too injured to play in an elimination game Giannis is suddenly health enough to play the next elimination game. Would have felt a lot better if this was Friday night.

But I still can't figure out how a guy that tall and wide can only get 3 rebounds, when Gallinari gets 6. I know all about him boxing out, and I know he stays 30 feet from the basket on offense. But on defense he is always parked right by the basket.

Three rebounds? OK, enough, Bucks win.

Why does that surprise you? He has been that wy his whole Bucks career .

You’d think Philly would rather send Pat Bev anywhere but to be coached by Doc after the team fired Nick Nurse’s assistant who we hired over him.

Well, lots of things have changed. Lots of discussions could be had. Lots of mindsets could've altered. Maybe the 3-5 week injury only needed 4 weeks. We're better off waiting and seeing and not thinking about it much 1 way or the other

Maybe Bucks played so hard because they were told Giannis/Dame back in game 6 :reporter:

Ok I'm pushing my luck, but a Buck can dream :cry:

At least they did not give up 6 2nds for him. Great trade for Pat Bev.

I'm so relieved we won. I wasn't ready to begin the offseason with you psychos.

This checks out.
