You did good...

Gotta give props to the Cs. What an amazing turn around from the start of the season.


East is a bloodbath. Top 4 teams are too damn good for a team to go cold, it will be season over.


Is it really that impressive? The Bucks are missing their second best player and primary closer. The respect should probably go that team.

Has Shaq ever heard of the word - enunciation. Blau Blau Blau, is basically what I hear him saying. How do you get paid for that type of analysis.

Hopefully he enjoyed the fat free steak& cheese burrito.

His second best player this series is 35y Wesley Matthews.
He has no 3p shooting to space the floor for him.
He has no point guard to help him score.
It's Giannis take the ball and beat boston every single time.

Respect to Holford who keeps keeping you alive with his elite shot making.


Yeah Giannis was running on fumes at the end, completely out of gas. Middleton helps a ton cause Giannis can take a breather at times offensively. Jrue is definitely capable but it’s a challenge at times.

Don’t be sad that the heat are about to choke away their series against a team who was with its best player for a minute.

The turnaround was impressive nonetheless and we missed Robert Williams tonight and smart in game two. Milwaukee is good with or without Middleton.

Pritchard is an interesting guy. I remember watching him cook Kyrie and thinking he was pretty automatic, but he's missed a lot of open shots this series.

He was great vs. the Nets. He could easily go 4/4 from 3 next game, wouldn't surprise me in the least. He can be streaky like that


This is how he looked early in the season. He had been scorching for months coming into this series though. He seems to have lost a little confidence in this series. I even saw him pass up a couple of deep "open" looks that he usually pulls automatically.

Injuries are part of the game. You're a hater to a different extent, but I respect how much you try to discredit us for our victories. Just stick to your team and your own series against the Sixers, because probably, if you don't pay enought attention, you'll get bounced. :dontknow:

There wouldn't be any Giannis elbows allowed on Embiid's face. Embiid is just too precious a commodity for the league, almost as precious as Giannis.

But we'll never know for sure. Neither the Sixers nor the Bucks will make it to the next round.
