97-47 is quite the score.

Memphis really got rid of taylor to appease Ja, they should’ve traded him!

I would guess he’s gotten countless offers the past 15 years. Sense would be he likes the low key OKC. And they pay him well.

Sort of crazy that back in 2010 we all drooled over Presti. Then THE BUCKS won a title. And we’re back to lauding Presti who still doesn’t have one. Tells you how grateful we should be that we got that 2021 championship.

Firing your head coach two weeks before the playoffs then promptly losing by 50 is special.

Well, at least we didn’t look as bad as the team that fired their coach a week before the playoffs. Now that would have been embarrassing.

I hate Boston. Seeing Jrue in their uniform still makes me sick.

Tatum and Brown are good players but the real strength of the Celtics is their 3 to 8 guys

Tatum has 5/17 so far and they are ahead comfortably

That’s a crazy call. The station is what knocked Tatum the most.

Offer Spo a 30 million dollar contract and tell him he can work remotely.

Good coaches and gms go out and pluck Jerome and Davion Mitchell out of the scrap heap and turn them into productive players.

Atkinson should have been the hire.
Go Bucks!

The Cleveland (Virginia) Cavaliers. Happy to see Jerome flourishing, I always wanted us to find a way to get him. Winning role player.

So many well constructed rosters and good coaches in these playoffs. The bucks look archaic
