Tatums embarrassment should be enough to snap him out of this slump. Yes I'm calling it a slump. He won't do this again.

Just put the bucks and lakers in the finals and save everyone’s time. Blatant rule breaking. Charge nope. Penis punch nope goaltend nope. I don’t think the bucks can win fair and square.

Game came down to the wire with Tatum not being able to hit the ocean if he fell out of a boat and no Kemba. Why are people so upset?

I believe you can up until the offensive guy hits you. That's why so many people are calling to #BanTheCharge, 'cos it's kind of a disadvantage for the offensive player. Once he's in the air, he won't be able to control his momentum. But the rule is the rule. That should've been an offensive foul.

The hair needs to go. It’s obviously weighing him down.


We have seen stagnant hair effect players before. It can't hurt to get rid of it.

Brad said they told him when they reviewed the hostile act, they couldn't later go back and add the foul. Ok, so why did they change the foul to Smart when they should have only been looking at in or out of the circle?

When Giannis hit theis, the refs only thought he had 4 fouls. When they went to the scoring table they saw he had five so they had to get...creative.

Yah, that was def the right call. The no call on body shot on Theis, no call when he pushed off on Smart and goal tend piss me the hell off, though.

All night long, refs called the game one way. As soon as Giannis got in foul trouble, they stopped. That **** is frustrating.

100% agreed. Kemba on mins restriction and Tatum goes 1-17 and yet it’s tied with 90 seconds left.

Did Budenholzer challenge the foul call? That may explain them looking at more than the circle. However, if that was the case, no one on the broadcast said it was a challenge.

It was a challenge. Boston broadcast mentioned it. Was Smart still moving though? He only lifted his foot to clear the circle.

Stevens positivity is so rational, grounded and annoying. I want to rage, god dammit. Stop being intelligent.

PS off topic but Brad Stevens should actually be President in 2024

Lol offensive players already dominate the perimeter by jumping into the defender for 3 FTs, now they want to ban the charge? :lol:

Would have been more honest if he said "I **** up for resting all the starters Tuesday, because they all looked like **** tonight, except Kemba."

Even with the atrocious start and Tatum playing bad against the Championship favourites we kept it super close and had our chances.

I didn’t think we were going to win this game anyway and relying on refs to make calls against Giannis will only upset you because they won’t do it.

I’m way more encouraged too. Tatum has a **** game so what? **** happens. It’s been the first real game in 5 months which is pretty insane. But the way bigger story should be that Kemba looked good and was moving fine. That’s huge. We never got healthy Kemba during Tatum’s hot stretch. If Tatum can get back to his normal self which we all have expectations of him doing that and then having Kemba looking healthy for the playoffs, then we will be a force. Smart, Hayward, Brown, and Theis looked good which is promising.

I didn't hear it on my broadcast, but I have youtube tv now and I noticed they've been chopping in and out of commercials in the middle of Scal talking. Maybe it got cut off.

Another reason why the Bucks are so unlikeable. The fact he’s serious and didn’t think that was a foul is absurd
