What a damn joke he lives on a short leash.

Reed has always been him. Let him miss. Let him struggle. He will figure it out.

Adams and Durant are on a time crunch. The rebounding advantage the team has is on a time limit and Durant needs rings for his legacy. They might not have time to wait till he because peak Sheppard

Refs called two incredibly soft moving screens that stole 6 points from the Bucks. Missed an obvious change on KD. Called a BS foul on Turner, said there was no possession and then threw the jump call directly to Sengun. Insane giveaway job.

Nobody points out that giving up Durant meant torpedoing the perimeter defense. Expecting Amen and Tari to keep up with the speedy point guards is a fools errand

Bucks really going to waste Giannis' prime huh.

At least they got one title, but feels like such a meager return

Pacers gonna get a top 3 pick and gonna trade it for Giannis. Calling it right now. A top 3 pick in the best draft since 2003 is the best thing any team can offer for Giannis while a) being a win now team for Gianni’s b) remaining a win now team because they won’t have to give up their best player in return. Every other team that would want Gianni’s and where Gianni’s would want to go would have to offer their star player because they won’t have anything as valuable as a top 3 pick in 2026.

Except for the pacers

We were bad too, Giannis especially but it surely felt like 5 v 8 and at Fiserv too. But not just this game, very sketchy officiating in our games thus far. After what happened with Luka, there's an obvious agenda here. It's all a business in the end of the day.

Does anyone else get the vibe that Suggs thinks he's better then he actually is? I remember him doing some silly ass between the legs dribble when the Magic played Detroit recently, and he has a swagger, that doesn't match his talent, or production.

I mean, I understand being confident, but he strikes me as overconfident.
