It should be definitely a charge, how is that a shooting foul? It's ridiculous, I'm glad that I want Bucks to win, otherwise I'd turn this game off.

Tucker is amazing in this game, his defensive effort on KD is amazing to watch. One of my favorite players to watch.

Should be easy for Milwaukee now. Hopefully Kyrie's back next game.

Phoenix just seems like one of those teams of destiny. Theyve been the healthiest contender all regular season and they got the Cp3 playoff injury out of the way and survived. Theyre the favorites IMO

I think Kyrie is likely out for game 5. That sprain looked ugly.

I think the Nets are in trouble. They can't beat the Bucks without Harden and Irving.

Is Giannis the most frustrating superstar player to watch in the league considering his often awkward moments on offense? Sincere question.

Nets won't win this series without Kyrie and Harden, do you think either of them will be able to come back?

I think Harden is back for game 5 to lead the Nets for an easy series win in 6.

Should have been a flagrant on Giannis btw, coming under a player’s landing space when they’re in the air shouldn’t be officiated differently whether it’s around the basket or at the 3pt line.

Only thing that can stop the nets sleepwalking to the next 3 titles is injuries

Brooklyn is very conservative with injury recovery and Harden hasnt been all that close yet. I dont see him returning

It is officiated differently though. If Kyrie were in the restricted area then that isn't a foul on Giannis.

Yeah they could be in the Western Conference.

Don't see how running into a player when they're in the air and not giving them space to land isn't a foul depending on location.

It wasn't even a battle for a loose ball or a congested paint area where people are jockeying for position. It was Giannis and Kyrie by themselves basically, and Giannis comes under Kyrie and affects his landing.

Should have been a flagrant. It's a reckless play that can (and in this case, did) result in an injury.

Holy ****. I have to mentally prepare for the idea that Chris Paul might just win a title as the man with the Nets injured.

Meh, people will say he just won cause his team was stacked or that Devin Booker was better cause his PPG is higher etc.
