This whole thing is a little ridiculous.

Bertains is a sneaky feisty guy, seems like he has a temper, always into it with somebody whenever I watch him.

Dude grew up hard scrabble fighting cousins for beets down at Schrute Farms. Would not want to get into it with him.

All I know, is I am glad I don't gamble.

I would have had every game in the Bucks series wrong except game 7 and I honestly have no clue how GS is not killing Dallas. No way would I have thought Boston dogs Miami in game 2 like that either.

GP2 being out is pretty big when both Klay and Poole are this poor defensively. Hopefully Klay gets better next season but he looks done as a one on one defender now.

This one is a spicy meatball, hope the Warriors can come back a bit so it's close at half time. Go NBA!

Agreed on hoping he gets it back next year, love watching him play as a 2 way guy. He looks to still have the instincts and willingness to defend but just doesn't have the lateral movement at the moment to be able to cover ground on quicker guys to keep close enough to use his size.

I can't stand Draymond.

Bullock really did nothing wrong there, apart from the foul. I love his emotion, but Draymond needs to calm down before he gets tossed.

I'm with Luka, he did nothing wrong there.

I’m all for letting stars play and refs not affecting the game too much but draymond can do and say whatever he wants on the court.

People complain about Draymond mouthing off all the time but he gets thrown out of games more than any other player too :dontknow:

Must be nice to shoot this well after stinking it up the previous game.

Remember that time Bobby got a technical because he kind of tossed the ball at the basket support in frustration.

Now we get to watch Draymond Green do 4 or 5 things 10X more egregious and not get a technical. Gotta love NBA officiating.

Luka silencing the run and crowd with that shot my word.

Could you imagine Luka and Giannis on the same team lol. Not even just because of the simple fact they're both superstar players.

But they both are such downhill type players, every team they played would probably have their spirit broken and give up on competing by the end of the 1st quarter.

-Positive note I have said for years that Giannis and Luka will team up, I still believe it happens within 3-4 years.
-Negative, I don't think it is in Milwaukee

If it is going to happen I would rather see Jokic/Giannis on one team and Embiid/Luka on another.

It sucks that I’m watching these games and thinking the Bucks are clearly better than these teams other than Boston with us missing Middleton.

Mavs having most of their bench stand close to the sideline like they are seems pretty tactical to me. I know the league are fining them but it's not stopping them.

Never say never but I feel like the longer Giannis stays in Milwaukee the less likely it will be that he ever leaves. Plus I think the legacy of playing with 1 team is something that is important to Giannis. That and he is incredibly loyal.

I doubt Giannis and Luka will ever team up, sucks because I think if it happened it would be in Milwaukee. I do feel like we'll end up getting another big star at some point in the near future. We have the best player in the league and it's the player empowerment era, someone will demand a trade to Milwaukee and get their way, probably someone more along the lines of Lillard than Luka or Jokic though.

Just can't buy into curry and these warriors. Celtics would destroy them.
