I wouldn't be surprised if the winner of this series loses the next round. Both these teams are beating each other up.

Foul count and FT count don't tell me how the refs are influencing the momentum of the game

Bucks made the right choice. This series is a battle and just started.

Well they're still up because he was making the right play and moving the ball, but then eventually he had to take some shots himself and he just looked like he had no legs. He's been doing a lot on D too, maybe it's getting too much for him at 33.

Cs fans - Derrick will frustrate with the hesitation to shoot even if he makes solid passes to others. Our coaches were working on him taking those shots for like years. His role looks to be different now, back to more supportive, complementary, and not as one of the main scorers so perhaps he is out of that mode, but hopefully he gets that mindset to shoot when he's open like Patty does.

Compare that to the physicality allowed on someone like Jokic or Curry and it's laughable
He's been one of the most overprotected players in the NBA that I can remember watching.
I think his skinny frame helps him get calls compared to someone like lebron or jokic, which makes it all the more baffling defenders are allowed to maul Curry both away from and on the ball considering his tiny frame.
KD's Ft rate compared to his rim pressure in the past few years is interesting.
It was striking how differently he was officiated in the Finals. Particularly in game 1 of the 2018 Finals.

Curry, Dragic, Mills, Irving lineup. They can't exploit that somewhere?

Fasting seems to be taking it's toll on Kyrie. He looks listless this game.

Because they’re calling touch fouls to send KD and Kyrie to the line but JB gets ridden all the way to the cup.
While you aren't wrong per se, dude, the Celtics are getting away with all kinds of stuff on the block and going for rebounds. These refs are just trash all the way around.

KD needs to take notes from Brown. This is how you play defense on Tatum.
Last game they made a meme of KD for the final play of the game when he just stood there at the free throw line and it said “When your controller disconnects in NBA2K”

As great as this series is we're almost being cheated with Williams and Simmons being out. Really want to see who's best with both teams at full strength.
