Wow, The freak is just getting spoon feed by the refs...

We just have to plan for that. Giannis is a league darling, they will let him travel and give him friendly calls all night long. We have to overcome all that, it will be us vs the Bucks AND the refs.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I still think we can win vs all that. I really hope we don't have to sit through 40+ free throws for the Bucks every game...

Jazz may have saved their season tonight.

But it all ends Wednesday for them.

Not quite sure how winning only one game salvages the season for them, sure now it is not a totall embaressment.

Maybe he meant literally considering their season was extended? Only explanation I can think of

Make that 18 more attempts and 4 less makes

Did you watch the game? Repeatedly there would be the same call on both ends and a foul called on Detroit and nothing called on bucks. Theybwould have lost either way, but that reffing was an embarrassment (as is trying to defend it). I really hope you didn’t watch it and come to that conclusion. My respect of your b-ball knowledge would take a hit
didn't watch the game and I absolutely take all your word that the foul call disparity was a result of poor reffing, but at the end of the day, Detroit was 41-100 from the field while Milwaukee was 43-79.  When you shoot 21 more FG's you should win the game and when you don't it is because despite shooting 21 more FG's you made 2 less (and Detroit shot and made more 3's, so it wasn't just 3 pointers either).  And statistically, Detroit committed only 10 more fouls yet had 29 less FT's.  Aggressiveness is often rewarded and at least from the highlights, Giannis was in fact getting fouled when he drove to the paint.  Now as you say, Detroit was getting fouled driving to the paint and wasn't getting the calls, that is unfortunate, but sometimes that happens, but Detroit lost this game because they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn for most of the game (they were actually a respectable 38% from 3, it was the 2 point range that was the problem).

Milwaukee shot so many less FGs because they were shooting free throws. Milwaukee also shot the ball very well.

Detroit, under the structure of how the game was played and called, could have shot 50/40/90 and still loss the game.

A 29 point deficit on FTs to a good FT shooting team, is almost always going to result in a loss. Even if you shoot exceptionally good.

Detroit shot 44% from the field for the year. They aren't a good shooting team at all. Detroit would have had to shoot way, way better than they normally would have to win this game.

We aren't talking just a few shots they would have had to make to win. They would have needed 8 more threes or 12 more twos.

Detroit lost not because they shot poorly. They lost because Milwaukee played much better and had a ridiculous advantage at the line.p

12 more 2's and they still would have shot a worse percentage than the Bucks.  Obviously there was a foul and FT disparity, but you can't win a game when your opponent despite shooting 21 less FG's made more than you.  Even if the FT attempts were closer, they still wouldn't have won with that dreadful shooting.

Bucks are clearly the better team and giannnis clearly the best player on the floors, but Detroit played really well for 3.5 quarters. There was just a string of plays where Blake or someone else would drive to the paint would have a ton of contact and nothing would be called and a very similar play would happen on the other end and it would be two free throws. After this happened something like 6 or 7 times out of 9 Detroit’s got disheartened and started taking some terrible shots. I, and my friend watching this, don’t really have any skin in the game. It’s not like if Detroit somehow won a single game the celtics have much better odds next game. It was really frustrating to the point it made me think one of the refs was on the take or had something funny going on. You hate to see that and feel like the pistons had their maybe 2% chance of winning a game taken away from them by the refs.

Get ready because that's what we'll be tasting soon. The NBA is going to pull a WWE in these playoffs and put Giannis "over."
LeRoid is done and the league needs a new face. Hopefully Boston can play through it, but I don't have my hopes up.
