Lakers vs Bucks is a battle.

[liam]

The Bucks look a little shocked by the whistle the Lakers are getting here in the 3rd...

[liam]

Bucks are just done... in this one ...

[SparzWizard]

Lakers look NBA Finals ready after crushing the Bucks at home. Might really just need LeBron and Davis' 37 and 30 to lift them up.

Aron Baynes beasted it vs the Blazers, 37 pts and 16rebs including NINE threes.

It’s funny now baynes was nobody until ainge signed him to that nice multi year deal.

He went many seasons without attempting 3s until coach Stevens told him to do it.  Now look at the guy. He’s like steph curry out there

Porzignis is on a tear. His last 13 games - 27.7ppg 11.0rpg 2.5apg 2.4bpg 1.1spg only 2.4 turnovers per game on 49.8% FG% and 39.5% 3FG% on over 9 attempted 3s per game. 33mpg.

Dallas' future (hell, their present!) is so exciting with Luka and Porzinigis.

Sit down Embiid, Aron Baynes is the greatest player in the world!

But yeah, man, Ainge should have gave him an extension...dang it.

Giannis getting an MRI. He was seen visibly limping in the lockeroom after the game.

I don't want any competition to be injured when the Cs play them, but this is exactly why the Cs are trying to keep minutes low and are treating injuries with extreme caution. Maybe, the Cs will be the most healthy team in the East come playoff time. That could be the difference to get past Giannis.

Yeah, that's a good point. And hope it's nothing for Giannis in all honesty.

I've always like Baynes, but some of the things he done on the court this season are a bit mind-blowing.

It's definitely regrettable we couldn't keep him.

lol warriors still won

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually rooting a bit for the Sixers to win some games now and Pacers lose a lot more. Our #1 goal is the 2 seed, but realistically we also have to think about the scenarios for the 3 seed. If we have to face the Pacers first round, then the Raptors without HCA, that's still alright as I don't fear the Pacers one bit. But I personally do not want to face a Sixers team that's getting back Simmons/Embiid in the first round. That has T-R-A-P written all over it.

Yeah, go 76ers for #4 or #5 seed.
