That foul on Dragic might have been one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

The Giannis one is 1000% a foul. Shooter can't shoot properly if he has nowhere to land.

Dragic one im confused, i was watching the game on mute and have no idea what the reasoning was.

Pretty sure they called Giannis for his hand contact and not anything pertaining to Butler's landing space.

Lol ngl u cant say that and be afraid of westbrook bro


Uh? What do you mean by "afraid of Westbrook"?

If you mean believing the Rockets are a bigger threat, well that belief isn't really contingent on Westbrook being superior to Giannis. Though with that said, Westbrook is indeed a clearly superior offensive engine.

I think he is not able to play 40 minutes and this is a huge problem for the bucks.

I couldn't tell if Giannis touched Jimmy's hand from the angles they were showing. Interesting that they didn't notice Giannis is literally undernearth Jimmy's feet, Jimmy nearly landed on Giannis' foot in slow motion.

In a way, yes; I think the Lakers are better equipped to defend slow ISO play than deterring attacks to the rim while defending the three point line. I wouldn't say the Lakers should be "afraid" of Westbrook but he definitely poses a matchup problem should they play the Rockets in the second round.

I don't think Giannis did that in regular season this year ... His minutes are very low for an MVP caliber player and it's not only because of the number of blowouts ... Even when their game is close, Giannis rarely exceeds the 35 minutes

I rarely get worked over sports but I legit hate (not just sports hate) Steve Javie and his takes. I am going to start muting anytime he comes on TV from now on. Shame on ESPN for giving him this platform.

How is that fair? He has literally never ever disagreed with a call the refs and if there ever a time to show objectivity, all he had to say was that Dragic foul should be a non-call. IDK, he makes my blood boil. I am done with him

Eric Gordon is looking like bubble Lillard tonight. Thunder might be in some trouble.

Harden really playing very poorly. This is an all time bad performance so far, even by his standards.
