Doubtful is when player x not playing most likely.

The Bucks are fighting to avoid the #4 seed now, so I imagine they are throwing caution to the wind and pushing in their chips for these next two games against us. I don't know Giannis' body so I can't say it's crazy, but I'm surprised he's willing to get back out there so soon after re-aggravating it.

Oh well, I'm up for the challenge. We have blood in our mouths after the Portland loss, I hope we come out with a sense of urgency and vengeance.

Tip in win for 6's.

Gay is trash. How come you turn ball over twice and score lay up thinking you good?

Biid ain't problem in a long run. MVP thing is over hyped.

Not worried at all

Give me rested and healthy Harden with 50/50 Kyrie and we past EC to the finals.

KD is just cheat code. That's like taking candy away from baby.

Raps put entire team vs us. Bucks didn't let Greek sit out vs us.

That's just last few games.

How many teams bringing extra effort to play us?

I wish we could stay healthy and sweep trash next year.

Fair point, my friend. We've gone from the Hunter to the Hunted, teams are throwing the kitchen sink at us. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

LeBron is out again and Shroder is now out with Covid for 14 days. LA is in serious trouble right now

I was never truly worried about the Lakers at full strength, but it is unfortunate that injuries have halted their title defense. Now, they will have serious trouble making it out of the play-in tournament, which is why LBJ is so hot about the format suddenly.

These refs definitely bet money on games. There is no way around it. How in the hell AD get calls like that. Doris calling them out too, unbelievable.

Lakers still Lakers if you guys don't believe they're better team out there than you'll get some harsh awakening.

I think the clippers, jazz, and suns are all better. lakers have no depth and no center

No Mcgee/dwight is a big loss. Gasol is cooked. Drummond is awful

I'm not even sure the Lakers make it out of the west anymore. Weird season.

What happened to Denver

.

Well most think otherwise so don't get to disappointed when they'll cruise through WC. Until I see LBJ being beat in 7 game I'll stick to what most think. Last night game was telling for me.

As usual, Bucks like any other team lose their intensity while playing other teams.

Russ led Wiz team been hot though. I believe they'll get that 8 seed. Before season begone I thought they'd be 5-7seed team for sure. Russ not being healthy hurt them a lot.

Wizards and Russell Westbrook are both trash. As expected, they lose to Bucks despite so many circumstances favoring the Wizards in that game.

We're in real danger of being 3rd seed. Actually, we're 95% likely to be 3rd seed by end of season. This means that we either get Celtics or Heat in 1st round, followed by Bucks in 2nd round, and then Sixers in ECF. It's the nightmare scenario and it's becoming a reality, it **** sucks.

I dont think the 3rd vs 2nd seed matters. its essentially the same.

If we lose in the first round, we have no business worrying about seeding anyhow.
