He signed with Philly for the minimum....

Doesn't matter, they can't pay him that much.

Nor do they need to. He's a minimum salary guy now. He's burned too many bridges to have any kind of market. Not completely his fault, he's had some bad teammates who don't care about winning.

Most importantly, in the the playoffs, he's every bit as good as Jrue now. That's fun.

sweet dreams to that

It is insane how much he fits this team and our needs. He's what fans think Bobby is (who was also really good tonight).

If this is the first time in NBA history that a team won a game without their two leading scorers, it's hard to think they could do that two games in a row.

Need Giannis back or it's Pacers in 6. With both back, a championship is possible.

Great if we get him for less... feels like he'd want more though somehow

Giannis must want to play so bad.

Obviously want Giannis and Dame coming back but big worries about them coming back in an elimination game on the road and seeing us be out if sorts. Don’t have any room for error here.

Some players really nutted up tonight. Going to need another one from Bobby to atone for game 4 & the rest of the series. Midds is extracting everything he has from those creaky legs. God bless him.

The Bucks pressed up on their shooters more, as the game went on. Early it was more of the same. Don't unnecessarily double. If you get beat, you get beat. Don't give up easy switches for mismatches. Don't know how Bease kept getting matched up down low. It was improved, but can be better, and might need to with their crowd behind them.

The offense was good, once we could get in the halfcourt. Bev getting penetration, Bobby & Khris working mismatches, and guys hitting outside shots off that. There should be a policy only Bev, Pat, Bease, & AJJ bring the ball up.

I may whip out Giannis for game 6, if he's functional. Otherwise don't risk it. Definitely don't test Dame's achilles. His injury would be even more devastating. If the Bucks can somehow make it out this series, I think they win the title. It'd give perspective.

That's right, I thought it was more.

On his podcast he said he gave LAC the chance to sign him for the minimum too and they didn't. Money might be running dry but **** it give him a parade, give him some podcast sponsors, whatever it takes.

Props to Bobby for owning up and showing some humility. It wasn't always pretty but we needed him tonight and he showed out.

No, that’s not me. I’m not convinced people could hear me on tv based on the one video I was sent. I was about one section over from the main center court tv camera, I’m really loud and don’t take many possessions off so I thought it was possible.

That Doc interview tonight was a great listen. I’m not sure if he got weird about the Giannis and Dame injuries because they’re close or he’s not sure how much gamesmanship he needs to do in the media because they’re not close. I tend to think it’s the latter but am delusionally optimistic for the former.
