they can't play brook, giannis will be guarding porzingis on the weakside and dame will have to guard a ball handler which is a recipe for disaster. they're gonna have a really tough time hiding him.

This is some horrific offense on display right now. Travelling, running into people, head snapping, flopping, etc etc

I have a feeling that Lillard struggling in pre-season thread is being bumped tonight.

there's no way embiid can keep up with the bucks and celtics in a playoff game. too much speed/movement and he's too slow and methodical on offense.

Buck fans should be very thankful right now.


Heh, what's your alternative? NCAA refs? That's the next and most convenient tier down, basically.

If you think NBA reffin' is bad .....
I would rather have bad reffing, then favoritism reffing.

Its so bad. Also, how many damn free throws are we as fans okay with watching? 50? 60? 70?

NBA refs are crooked bastards. I have zero skin in this game. It is ATROCIOUS.

Good luck NBA literally the perfect duo. Giannis dominates in 3 quarters and Dame closes in the 4th.


Bucks in 6!

Without the refs fixing the game the Bucks lose to a Sixers team that will struggle to make the playooffs. Dame is a liability, a big step down from Jrue.
