Stupid move by Portis. But why be surprised.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Holy crap I am freakin out haha
Once they have that golden shining moment and it comes to them in a dream or whatever and they understand that, that's when this team and this franchise will go to another level from where it was when I was here.

Bucks are old and slow. This is going to end poorly.

It wasn't the shove. It was the swing to the head that made contact.

I don't think how they couldn't have ejected him here.

Draymond does this on a regular basis. Unless Portis knocked him out he should have stayed in a playoff game.

Just a bad look for the NBA.

I don’t see anything wrong with the ejection. You can’t just slap people in the head. Bobby is a moron and should have just walked away after the shoving.

Doc looked half-excited about the ejection. He truly has all the excuses he needs now. No need to blame the travel crew or the bus driver or whatever.

We watch Draymondbiid go off on the Knicks the other day and they swallowed their whistles. The star treatment is gross.


The star treatment is indeed gross. I fully agree.

But let's be clear here. Portis' ejection tonight was correct. You cannot swing at a player's head like that.

Right, and Draymond should absolutely be ejected anytime he takes a swing at another player's head.

If Bucks can get a lead, I would not be shocked to see Doc go to the old Mike Fratello offense milking the shot clock. Make the Pacers play 20 seconds of defense each posession.

Yeah totally agree. My point was the stars need to be held accountable for being dumbasses just like Portis was today.

He's an exciting prospect. He provided a huge lift for Milwaukee in game 3 and, in my opinion, was one of the big reasons why they came back.

If all was fair in the world they would be, but that's not how it has ever worked in the NBA.
