Seems like common sense to drink tonight after the game with an off day tomorrow

Their strategy is an interesting one, whoever Giannis is guarding is sprinting up the court to make Giannis hustle back after made baskets. Giannis has to hustle or it's leading to switches

they are playing a lot more intensely on defense, pressing, grabbing etc

Next year, the in-season tournament finalists should get 2, maybe 3 nights of rest to offset the extra game and set them up to celebrate without concern

Announcers broadcasting from the new shiny toy perspective with Halliburton and the Pacers was predictable but it’s still ridiculously obnoxious.

And the refs giving a pro Indiana whistle is surprising maybe it’s because it’s how lazy and hungover we are. If I was a ref I’d probably give team actually trying a better whistle too.

That pass was definitely for Toppin.

Eh, maybe not on other angles

Going to be Coach Grief or Coach Griff after this one.

So Dame clearly got tripped there, right?

Bucks look old and slow.

Dame is so lethargic around the court today. Not getting back on D worse than usual as well.

Looks like hali came down before he passed.

We just are coming off a game where Randle was hunting Giannis relentlessly. A lot of it is matchup dependent, a lot of it is luck/flow of the game.

Our team is old. Sad that a guy in his 30s who’s been on career losing teams like dame can’t refrain from partying but pacer players in their early 20s can. (Making complete assumptions)

Let us not just complain (justifiably though) about the refs only; see how almost anyone else other than Giannis is playing.

They never call it but that was a travel on Haliburton. Only way he can make that pass.

Their defense has made everyone sans Giannis hesitant. That Payne 3 and Lillard drive were both indecisive

I think our guys need 1 more quarter to sweat out the alcohol in their bodies. Can Giannis keep us alive till then?
