In what situation is an NBA player not expected to play defense?

And there it is. Should extend the lead in the conference without a doubt now

I hope Giannis recovers quickly...

Dame will likely enjoy being the undoubted alpha in his absence though which should be interesting to see if he thrives again.

Dame looking like he is going for a 40 point bag tonight (which the Bucks need if they want to win)

[Fierce1]

At his age, Dame should slow down a bit.

We already saw Brunson go down yesterday.

If Dame gets hurt, it's Lame Time!

[Homerclease]

Dame gives up as much on defense as he scores on offense.

[KamikazeK]

let's go clippers!

[doogie_hauser]

Jae Crowder is literally washed up .

Just a liability on court these days.

[doogie_hauser]

Dame will probably have to go for 50 points, score 20 plus in the final quarter for The Bucks for win. They just don't have any potent offence without Giannis and Middleton

[Shak_Celts]

lol some of us accepted the bucks would eventually be good. i give them props for toughing through the hard times.

[KamikazeK]

clippers are giving me a **** bruh moment right now.

Yeah they’ll be a tough out. I still think their perimeter defense won’t hold up against us in a 7 game series but I think they are the only team in the east with a legit shot to send us packing. Two would be Miami but not really scared of them this year tbh

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

In some ways a Bucks win is better for extending our lead over teams throughout the league and ensures both Bucks and Clippers have 21 losses. Bucks did well, Clips on b2b after tough game against Wolves though.

[GoCeltics123]

Bucks are definitely playing better since the ASB.

But holy **** the Clippers are so unserious man. Ty Lue is awful

Wolves are a tough team, Boston was *** on the second half of that back to back.

Bucks win doesn't count. No Middleton.

[doogie_hauser]

What was a bit worrying for me was The Bucks won that game and final quarter without a major impact from Dame. Doc is getting major buy in from his fringe/role players (something he never did at Philly for some reason)

Also trading Pat Bev for Cam Payne was a low key brilliant move got them, and another Morey blunder.

We cannot afford to take them lightly come playoff time.

[zoyathedestroya]

I wanna root for the Lakers for this one game vs. OKC but they suck so much that I can't vibes them into a win.

EDIT: They went on an 11-0 run after this post. There is hope.

They kinda remind me of last year's Sixers but Giannis is a lot better than Embiid in the playoffs

The Sixers were #1 in clutch rating last year

[Fierce1]

The Clips in the last 5 minutes of the 4th were like the Celtics of the past.

They kept shooting 3s while the Bucks were giving it to Portis in the low post.

Zubac is also useless on offense as he can't score inside.

[Fierce1]

If that Clips vs. Bucks game was a preview of what to expect in the playoffs, I think the Nuggets have the advantage over all the western teams.

The Celtics at Nuggets game could be a finals preview.
