You just know that Giannis' house in Milwaukee will be for sale starting tomorrow.

Correct outcome either way. The Dragic call was questionable, but the DPOY did a full clobber.

They need to improve upon that, in the offseason.

They should swap Bledsoe for Scary Terry

He puts his hand on his upper body well after the shot, really, really lame.

That last 30s was basketball comedy, so glad that didn't end up happening to us.

Agreed although other defender shoved him before shot and got away with it. 3 pt. foul call on Middleton was weak too.

Sooo. Looks like Miami may be playing the winner of our Series.
This is a wacky year. No Homecourt Advantage. No travel-time, either.

But, you gotta give it to them. The NBA pulled this off successfully. And through 2 League stoppages.

The Harlem Globetrotters couldn't have staged that better. :lol:

Rooting for Miami, but that's a bad, bad call.

I don't know what the NBA is selling anymore but it ain't basketball

Anyone getting that Celtics/Lakers finals kinda feeling or is it too early?

Hell might as well get this legendary rivalry in a pandemic bubble too.

For Kobe.

That was a horrendous end to a playoff game. All decided by whistles.

He's still coming down in his follow through as Giannis hits him. If you're gonna call that Dragic foul, you DEFINITELY have to caqll the Giannis foul. That one was way more obvious.

Both calls were atrocious but honestly justice was served because Miami should won that game anyways.

Cuban Pete · Post #557 » by **Cuban Pete** » Thu Sep 3, 2020 2:01 am

The Bucks have forgotten how to make threes 7/25. Miami shot 17-45. In a game decided by two points, that was the difference.

Dort doing a pretty good Marcus Smart impression. 4/6 from three. 16 pts in the 1st half. Wut.

Read on Twitter

18 pts now for the guy Semi could only dream to be.

Luguentz Dort was a great undrafted find. At Arizona St he had a great steal rate 2.7, can pass, isn't afraid to shoot, and solid DRB%. Checked a lot of boxes. Should have been drafted in the second round.
