ESPN still throwing shade on the Bucks and refs still sucking Smarts dick while refusing to give Giannis the MVP treatment most all-stars have had for years. I'm glad the season is still on trajectory. Championship, here we come!

Deploy Thanos to take the **** wind out of Smart's **** sails.

Sterling should pick a fist fight with Smart.

If you hate Smart, you should actually hate the NBA for letting him get away with it. Smart is just being smart by using the way the rules are called to his advantage.

I don't think that's Smart's game though. When he flops it's not taking advantage of a rule that the refs have to enforce, it's baiting refs into calling something that didn't happen. Nothing the NBA can do about that except hire better refs.

It’s not just the flopping. It’s the consistent dirty play that has no place in basketball.

I get it’s only the first game, but I do fear Bud gives our starter those kind of minutes for too long.

Who is that poster on here that thinks Tatum is super overrated by the media?

Omg would the superstars like harden n lequeen hate that actual refs that call a honest game wow can you see lebron not getting away with the 7 fouls he commits every night and harden not getting to the line 20zs a night cause real refs dont call his fake falling down on his J crap

No Marvin? Fully expected him to be playing solid minutes off the bench

Literally no reason for the Bucks to play the rotation guys any more minutes than normal. Only matters once round two starts.

In not in game shape I feel too mentally tired to watch 2nd half. Hopefully I’m ready by the playoffs.

Almost had the same after remembering the Bucks are resuming the ring run!

So happy to watch Bucks basketball.

ESPN, as a corporation and brand and broadcast is insufferable. Marc Jackson is such an idiot. Jeff Van Gundy is quirky and odd, but he is somehow endearing to me.

Marcus Smart is strong and tough and there are things I enjoy about his game, but too much old man at the ymca trying too yard against younger kids crap.

We're the Bucks in a zone on that Brown dunk? The replays confused me even more than the live-action.
