How’s that a double foul? Smart with a legal box out and Lopez brings him down

We get excited because we're fans, but if you're a neutral watching this game it's borderline unwatchable. Brick after brick.


I'm neutral, it's two truly elite defenses playing going at it, it's enjoyable to me because of how high level this is. Especially when you hear about how current era teams can't D up.

Yeah I thought I'd enjoy it too, after those 3 games I'm kinda regretting it TBH LOL
It's a hard watch man, there's someone on the floor every second play, nobody can really shoot and everybody's talking about the refs all the time instead of the players

Or that they gonna face other physical and athletic teams like Bucks ?

Now sky is falling cause Giannis use his physical presence to his team advantage?

And I don’t even like Giannis , but he plays hard to win and can’t fault him for this


This reminds me of when Celtics fans warned Nets fans that Kyrie was a head case.

Nets fans were like naw, but then he was.

A lot of times what Giannis does is a bit different from playing basketball.

I don’t understand why they didn’t fix the foul that clearly wasn’t on George Hill and was on Giannis. Don’t they officials have the ability to do that?

The Celtics have clearly decided they can't just take 3s this game. Driving hard on most possessions.

Lol. They definitely officiated LeBron that way for years. Drive into a crowd, barrel into people. LeBron spent years getting easy looks but running into people and pushing off.

LeBron didn’t get the fouls though, he absorbed a lot of contact to his credit. Celtics, Pacers and Bulls used to beat the crap outta him

Exactly. He was never officiated like Giannis is today. Bron wasn't literally running people over and only using brute force to score. He was faster, quicker, jumped higher, more agile and had a more well rounded game. It was hard to stay in front of Bron even while holding/grabbing/pushing him. Giannis has people in front of him and he just barrels through them lol. Were not taking about the Paul Pierce excuse me shoulder, he runs them over like a bus.

It’d be a lot easier to officiate if Boston players didn’t flop every time down the court.

Boston should be ecstatic. Tatum has sucked, the refs have been blowing Milwaukee, and they're winning by 4.
