Wtf! Refs are letting moving picks get ridiculous. SGA got smashed by that moving screen by Nurkic, no call, leads to a Portland putback dunk.

Curry is struggling tonight on D and O. Nothing falling and can't stop the ball

Common sense math here. When down 8, cannot afford to keep trading buckets.

Love it.

But the funny thing, even with a 16 point lead, I don't feel safe for the Bucks. LOL

All that hype about that coach and he doesn't tell them to foul to secure the game. Are you serious?


Yeah - they got issues. Can’t believe they are tanking (or this bad) yet again. Another high pick coming their way. Smh.


Shameless tank the way that game finished, they got their eye on Zion lol

They seem like they need a solid vet or two as well. The team is too young and doesn't have a clue how to close out or win games. They need a vet PG that can control the offense and make smart decisions. Anderson/Crawford/ Ariza don't mean much if you are playing Canaan who is garbage at the point. :-?

If one of Klay, Durant or Draymond are getting voted off the GS island next offseason, it better not be Draymond. Without Draymond they aren't a dynasty.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

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.


I dunno how this got landed a head coaching gig.

Why exactly was that a selfish play by Brogdan? Because he didn't give it up? I'm trying to figure out Miller's logic

The worst was that game last year against Portland where all they needed to do to win was inbound the ball and couldn’t do it right. They turned over the ball and Lillard hit a clutch shot (shocker) and lost.

Gallo got fouled, but that elbow to Dame's head wasn't necessary. Calm down Gallinari, we don't wanna motivate this guy on his home court.

Tobias Harris was almost a scratch for a flu. He has no legs on him today.

I always look at john henson as like what Giannis would look like if the monstars took his talent.

Golden State's defense ain't so good without Green.

Ill believe it when the Warriors pull their starters. I hate getting my hopes up that a team is going to beat them only to turn it on and watch a big obnoxious comeback.

Bucks look a lot better than golden state tonight. They actually missed a tonne of wide open looks in the first half too. Nothing has come easy for golden state.
