Good luck NBA literally the perfect duo. Giannis dominates in 3 quarters and Dame closes in the 4th.


Bucks in 6!

Without the refs fixing the game the Bucks lose to a Sixers team that will struggle to make the playooffs. Dame is a liability, a big step down from Jrue.


Sixers will not struggle to make playoffs. they'll just go out quicker

Good to see the competitive spirit awaken.

Buck fans should be very thankful right now.


Heh, what's your alternative? NCAA refs? That's the next and most convenient tier down, basically.

If you think NBA reffin' is bad .....
I would rather have bad reffing, then favoritism reffing.

Its so bad. Also, how many damn free throws are we as fans okay with watching? 50? 60? 70?

NBA refs are crooked bastards. I have zero skin in this game. It is ATROCIOUS.

I agree. This NBA organization is pushing too hard to promote its stars.

I am okay with a small amount of bad calls. Never okay with a biased call. Biased call is not a mistake. It's a systematic issue

Remember when Denver faced Lillard in the playoffs and he went for like 60 points?

they can't play brook, giannis will be guarding porzingis on the weakside and dame will have to guard a ball handler which is a recipe for disaster. they're gonna have a really tough time hiding him.


counterpoint - how do you guard dame dropping 3's from 35 feet out tho lol

He's on a minutes restriction. Only played one preseason game. Probably will be good to go in a week or so.

Laugh now cry later.

We haven't even seen them at their best yet. Just wait until they get a feel for each other. Good luck stopping that.
