Man,

That's gotta be Budzenholer's last game as Bucks coach.

Bye, bye Bucks. That's twice Bud doesn't call a timeout.

That was such a gross last possession. Giannis gives up the rock like a hot potato in the clutch bc he’s afraid to get fouled. Ben Simmons 2.0

Well the good news is Boston might have home court advantage throughout the playoffs..

The bad news is we still suck.

If Tatum does not show up big time tomorrow I will curse him out for the rest of my little life..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

If the Celtics aren't careful, the 7th and 8th seeds could both advance. Has that ever happened?

I feel a lot better about last night's game known we didn't blow it the way the Bucks did

Shaq was actually unstoppable. Giannis just runs into guys at full speed and gets away with it. Enormous talent gap between the two


Shaq was allowed to drop his shoulders and go straight through anyones chest, at least until he left the Lakers, a luxury not afforded to any other player at the time.

Truth is, Giannis hasn’t improved since he maxed out his body via roids. He succeeds due to having a physical advantage. There’s no excuse to miss 12-13 FTs in a game ever. Or to be such a bad shooter defenses sag off you. Clearly he was gimped but besides their Final run this has been the norm for Giannis in his career. MIA is a tougher matchup for us sadly.

Giannis needs to learn how to shoot free throws. His technique is awful, just awful. How many did he miss in tonight's game? Eleven?

Miami has so much grit. Don’t be shocked to see them in the eastern conference finals. They can beat the Knicks.

What's sad is I see some of ourselves in the Bucks lol. At least as far as we handle big leads. I hope this **** doesn't become a theme throughout the Playoffs

Thats what always annoyed me about shaq complaining. He said 'he was pushed harder than any player in history' but didnt acknowledge that it is a counter-push and he pushed harder than anyone else in league history

Despite crushing the Cavs, I dont have a lot of faith in the knicks to get over the heat if healthy (sans herro)
