The Sixers team is proably going to struggle to make the playoffs. They have no point gaurd and seem disfunctional. The only reason the Sixers were in that game was because Dame was on the floor - Sixers came back from 20 points down when they started targeting him. Refs bailed out the Bucks. Replace Dame with Jrue and Bucks win by 20. Terrible offseason move - Portland should be charged with Murder for that trade.

On a slightly different note -I don't think even the most biased Bucks or Dame fan would deny that the refs gave that game to the Bucks - it was so blatant I wouldn't be surprised if there is an investigation into betting on the game, and police become involved.

People don't understand how amazing KD is at basketball even at his older age coming off the achilles injury. That baseline mid range jumper over two players is incredible and taken for granted.

Prior to KD joining the Warriors, LeBron had a 17-4 edge on KD in H2H matchups. Which was a pretty shockingly lop-sided rivalry because those OKC Thunder teams were pretty loaded. Maybe not early on, but definitely from 2012-2016.

Now it's 20-15 in LeBron's favor.

Lebron is slowy declining. I hate to see the greats get old.

AD wasted the end of Lebron's career because he couldn't stay healthy or take the torch.smh

Laker Nation looking moribund right now. The crowd might as well not be there.

Refs clearly were told to make sure the Bucks win.

NBA is pretty much unwatchable compared to international basketball, or a league like the NBL. It's not sport - it's choreographed entertainment.

Lol!

For real... how many teams don't have an Oubre guy that you can just throw Dame on? Pretty much every team has a guy they start with no ability to dribble or create. That's Dame's guy.

Aren't the Suns top-heavy? And missing two of their Big 3?

Lebron chose the Lakers when they were a rebuilding team and he chose to send all their assets away for Anthony Davis. Everything currently happening to Lebron is a direct result of his decisions, just as it's been every year since he took his talents to South Beach.

Good lord 6ers fans are insufferable. Unwatchable? Don't watch, problem solved.

Embiid?

I never understood why Philly went after PJ Tucker. He got rebounds and steals tonight, but zero points in 26 minutes.

Damn, Lebron really gotta be thinking he might have missed his last chance at another ring after that Denver loss.

Now it's 20-15 in LeBron's favor.

I'd argue the record is like that due to how loaded the Heat were. A GOAT shooter, a top 10 perimeter defender of all time in Battier, a top 3 GOAT shooting guard, and a top 3 PF in the game in Bosh.

Suns have no business being up in this game. Lol.

Who wins?
