Classic Butler foul merchant game. He can throw shoulders into chests but you can't defend him at all.

Don't look now, but the Bucks are the 5 seed. Thankfully, the conference has been terrible.

So satisfying when the Heat lose and Miami fans blame the refs.

They are the East Coast version of entitled Lakers fans.

Well done Buckaroos and thanks Milwaukee :D

Looks ok but for a minute I thought Ant had broken his hand or finger.

I would like to give a shout out to the East for letting us get out of our shooting slump and Doc finally playing Ajax and AJ green for some youth and shooting lol

I poo poo the theory from some fans that the NBA is as boring as ever when teams like Wolves tonight can climb out of a massive hole/deficit in a matter or a couple of minutes with some savvy shooting and crafty defence.

There is less blowouts/more comebacks from double digit leads than ever before. And I think it's fantastic

John Collins just shy of a double-double in the first half. Bryce Sensabaugh with 16pts in less than 10 minutes. :o

Would you say they were born 'stellar' ? So sorry, just enjoying a couple of nice beers on this warm Aussie afternoon, kicking back and enjoying some quality hoops :D

Sengun got fouled but that was also a hell of a flop

Lol so happy Rockets @ Wolves is going to O/T

Poor Dilly though, hope the Wolves can get the dub for him or he will be unfairly scapegoated

They very well may be. I've seen some start referring to the duo as Area 51 :lol:

Hopefully the OT is as good as regulation!

Haven’t seen a replay yet but it looked like a clear foul in real time. Credit to him for not arguing the call until the whistle.

That's the 3rd time Lillard has sat for defense in the 4th quarter in the last few games.

Doc Rivers has been coaching. Not like most NBA coaches who defer to stars.
