Would hate to see something “accidentally “ happen between him and Thanasis next time they play. Just make sure Thanasis is wearing a mask

Kyrie also bitched about how Nassir Little hustled for a loose ball. Loser player with a loser mentality.

Hes the worst type of jackass. A contrarian who fancies himself a free thinker. Remember when he was complaining about the old Mecca floor reproduction that he assumed was the actual old floor? When provided with the evidence that he was wrong he still refused to acknowledge it. You run into these morons more and more in this world unfortunately.

For those into schedule watching, the Bucks have a tough run the rest of the season. By far the toughest schedule unless we get some help.
Good news:
Brooklyn has a pretty tough schedule and will probably struggle at home if they don't cave. Hopefully we pass them

Indifferent:
Sixers have a good balance of games

Bad news:
Cleveland has a super easy schedule with 5 games vs Pistons/Magic. They could seriously be the 2 seed.
Chicago has a relatively easy schedule (On the bright side, we play them 4 times so we control our destiny)
Heat has a middle of road schedule, but play Brooklyn a few times while KD is out so it weakens it a bit

ETA: or you could just look at the BR projections- Cavs 1 seed, Bucks 5 seed.(obviously doesn't factor in KDs/Lavine's injury, etc)

Didn't Kyrie jump sideways on shot he got injured on?

Alternative headline, Denver gives up second rounder for Bryn Forbes.

Watch on YouTube

Offensive foul but really impressive nonetheless.

Typical Russ... makes a great play only to give up a free point to the Jazz.

Russ making a highlight and doing something dumb to cost his team in unison. Classic Russ!

Many Bucks fans have complained of the big market ESPN bias over the years, of course true to a degree. But the last 7-10 day coverage of Memphis sure seems to run counter to it. Them and Ja are pretty much all they've talked about lately. It's nonstop. Really all that's on that channel right now is NFL and Memphis/JA.

Maybe I dont watch enough ESPN but dont feel it is carrying over to the casual fan. If this was LA or NY, there is no doubt this game tonight would be more hyped. I think they are running with a story while its hot, but the true bias is sticking with them when they aren't the hottest team in the league. Bucks crush Warriors and the story isn't the win, but the Warriors loss.

Maybe this is why we see the wiretap article about them talking with the Kings about a Sabonis for Fox deal.

The Lakers suck, the other LA team is irrelevant, the Nets are in shambles with KD hurt, and Steph has cooled off so much that even ESPN can't keep hyping him up as the MVP "front-runner". So there's your reason why the Grizz are getting so much national pub. They're almost forced at this point to talk about Memphis, Phoenix, Utah, Milwaukee, and Denver because that's where the best players and teams are. And make no mistake, they absolutely hate it.

Haven't most ESPN/TNT/NBATV people been consistently picking us to win the East this year?

Also "Milwaukee" and "best teams" do not belong in the same sentence right now, unless "is not one of the" separates the two.

Watching your mainstream media suffer through a PHO-MIL Finals was one of the glorious moments of last year.
It took them 3 milliseconds after Game 6 to change the discussion back to Lebron's dinner plans.

Plus Utah and Phoenix are good in a methodical way that appeals to the basketball nerds but doesn't have the excitement of a guy like Ja.

Yep. Ja is an electrifying player. And now his team is approaching contender status. Pelicans have to be frustrated with where they sit with Zion at the moment.
