Looks like the Bucks Suns final. Good for the NBA.

Middleton has absolutely proven me wrong these playoffs. He's a legit star. When he gets hot, watch the **** out.

Does Trae have bad ankles? Didn't realize he wore braces on both of them.
Thank you Nico!

It sucks that Trae Young tweaked the ankle. But let’s be honest. Middleton going nuclear is the difference. A healthy Trae Young wasn’t going to put the clamps on Middleton on defense.

Middleton has games like this and games like game 1. Cheers to more Game 1 level performances.

So I guess the new thing to do is just call the team you didn’t want to win, lucky, if they win??? Lame!

Trae gets injured by an Illuminati operative, then gets an injection to return and play.

Coach McMillan: "Trae's back. We can still win."

Illuminati send McMillan a message through another operative, an assistant coach: "No Nate, if you try to win, there will be dire consequences for you and your family."

Coach McMillan proceeds to take out Kev Velvet and sabotage the Hawks.

The End

Hopefully Suns blow out this lucky Bucks team.


They don't deserve to be here


What's your problem dude? :lol:


My problem is your fanbase has crowned Giannis as a GOAT when he's lucky to be in the conf finals. Sorry to break reality to you

Refs did overtime work tonight. Trae won't be the same the rest of the series.

I do not understand why coaches hang on to certain players. There is no pressure on ATL to win, why not bench Bogie and see what Reddish can do?

When the Bucks make easy shots instead of taking a billion 3s, they're difficult to beat.

Like Mahomes limping after each play until he needs to move around.


I’ve been staring at him off the ball. His posture and movement patterns show zero compensation. He’s **** soft just like how he plays offense begging for fouls.

Reggie Miller is not smart or he’s biased. But Giannis has been hurt all game and it’s clear and Miller hasn’t even referenced it. I’d bet my mortgage that Giannis calf the entire game has had a bigger impact on his game than traes ankle (for a half). He’s milking it.

For what it’s worth, my background is in biomechanics and my field is injury rehab. Only saying that for the people that only hear Reggie miller’s dumb as commentary and take it as gospel.
