Bucks are shooting 3s at higher volume and higher percent than 2s. See if they can keep the hot hands

Apart from 2 Pat threes…the rest of those 3s disputed. The bucks just moving the ball and making those shots.

Dallas is contesting…

Not sure how the refs missed that foul on Doncic to end the quarter... Not enough of a superstar yet I guess.

He needs to play 2 more games to qualify for scoring title? I told someone Lebron ain’t playing all the games.

Giannis developing that little hook over his left shoulder has been so huge for him. It means he doesn't need to rely so much on a faceup jumper when guys play off him. He can instead attack until the defender meets him, then back down a bit and go into the hook.

there surely has to be an announcement that's he's done for the season... he can't be missing games when while slim there's a chance they can still sneak in the play-in

Bertans is actually giving great effort in defense.

Kidd won't take a TO to stop opposing team runs even if you put a gun to his face. It's usually opposing coach who does him a favor.

At this point, not making play-in due to injury sounds better than losing play-in for the Lakers

The play in isn’t important…he needs to be well rested so he can score alot of points. He has to pick and choose which games to play down the stretch.

Wouldn't surprise me if LeBron had it on good authority that the play in playoffs are expanding to 12 teams so the Lakers are just resting him

LeBron's out, so that's some good news for the Nuggets. But, It's still probably going to be a competitive game because that's just who they are.

The Nuggets can’t blow any team out anymore. Every game is close now. I won’t be surprised if it’s a close game to the end.

If the refs keep this up, the Bucks and Mavs are going to be beating the sh** out of each other in the second half.

Not whining because we have gotten away with fouling Doncic about 4 or 5 times....while they have fouled Giannis, Hill (twice) and Lopez (twice) with no call. At least it is consistent, but you just know there will be a foul called at a crucial moment that is not even as bad as any of the ones going uncalled.

I like they’re not calling fouls. I did see a lot of no calls like you said on both sides.
