I have to agree. I defended the move due to the positives that he brings, but apart from a few (albeit very) good games, he hasn’t been able to consistently maintain it. Maybe that changes once he goes back to the second unit, but I don’t see it.

Also, okoro needs to do nothing but shoot three pointers in the off-season. We need him to become a three and D player.

I would imagine the Bucks were happy when the Cavs brought in some of their starters in, when the Buck's G League level players started to close the point gap against the Cleveland bench players

Who's shook now?

The Bucks and Celtics literally just played this past week when the Celtics could've essentially clinched #2 with a win, and opted to rest Tatum/Horford.

Just selective with which games constitute "ducking" and which don't.

Horford is old AF and never plays in the 2nd nights of back-to-backs. Tatum sitting out was kinda weird but this is a far cry from what Milwaukee has done today. A very very big difference there.

I got Atlanta and Brooklyn winning the first two (unless Allen plays, in which case Cleveland could potentially win). And if Allen is in fact back, I’m gonna go bold and predict Cleveland secures the eight seed. But we get the draft pick we have to Indiana if we don’t I believe, so I’m a bit torn on this one.

The Bucks have played all their guys plenty leading into the playoffs. They played everyone against Philly, everyone against Brooklyn, everyone against Boston, against Dallas, against Chicago, all in the past week and a half. They even played everyone on the 2nd night of a B2B after the Boston game 2 days ago. But they now rest guys in literally the last game of the season - 3 games in 4 nights - to avoid injuries before the playoffs, and they're ducking? lol

If the Bucks were ducking Brooklyn, they wouldn't have played all their guys in all of those games before today. The Bucks have done this (resting almost everyone in the last game of the season) every season of the Bud era.

Ooh the Grizz upgraded Bane and Clarke to available. Many of their guys are out but this adds a little intrigue at least.

I have a feeling the Pistons scrubs are going to go off tonight. Watch.. Some random guy who has never played an NBA game will score 40.

We can hope..

So what's going on here? If Boston wins, they're the 2nd seed and they get the Nets, while MIL=3 and Philly=4...?

Am looking at this correct? The East is still so tightly together.

If Boston wins, yes they are two.

They may get the Nets. Nets play in the 7-8 game.

Apparently Udoka said they’ll be keeping an eye in the score of the Philly game, wouldn’t be surprised if the Celtics empty the bench for the entire second half.

Milwaukee tanking for that 3 seed. Lol...Ime should pull the Celtics starters in the start of the 2nd quarter. Play Pritchard and Hauser the rest of the way.
