Let's get real here Suns literally gave them that game, I mean how can you not foul on that last possession and casually leave an open man? Is that just stupidity or done intentionally?

Yea... Clips are fouling. There was one freaking phantom call... which was made up for about 5 minutes ago with the Gallo out of bounds call.
Okay man. This is a **** show. Clippers also hurting themselves by shooting unusually bad from line. SGA shot 93% from line this year and is 1-4.

All I'm saying is that the reffing hasn't been out of control biased, and you're whining like a baby. Just relax, and stop blaming the refs for every bit of adversity in this game.

Kyrie should be embarrassed that it got to that.


It's not on Kyrie. The dude was playing elite basketball before he went down last year. He had about 4-5 rough games to start this year but has been elite since.

It never got to that at any point with anyone who has any semblance of common sense.

Kyrie has basically won Boston 3 or 4 games by himself.

Man Booker and Lavine are so similar players, it's amazing.

Wrong.
It's not Kyrie's fault that we couldn't hit an open shot all game long.

This is ridiculous loss for Suns. Kokoskov being European coach should know better than to allow 3 pt shot attempt with only 6 sec left... Every coach in Europe would foul before the shot and play free throw game instead of risking tying 3 pt shot. It is proven numerous times it is much better strategy than trying to defend 3 ( especially when you have **** perimeter defensive team). Just pathetic decision gifting Celtics a win.

Create a “Time to worry about GSW?” Thread. It worked for Boston twice now.

I gotta credit the Bucks here. The defence on Curry and Durant has been as good as it gets. They are stripping Durant whenever he attacks. Curry can't shake free. Connaughton is scoring at will on Curry down low. They are doing everything right.

Bucks have done quite the 360. Went from a below average three point shooting team to the best in the league all in one season. Really like the complimentary pieces around Giannis.

What? Refs are calling fouls just to call fouls. Teodosic didnt even touch him.

This Clippers team is so weird lol
So many solid role players but zero star power
Not sure how far Harris and Gallo will take them in the postseason

Didn’t he have 4 points in the first half?

Eh, they are 1st round exit if they even get there. Right now goal is be competitive so a star is intrigued by them, while also increasing value of guys like Gallinari/Beverley again for trade bait. If injuries start piling up they can tank somewhat.
