I wouldn't mind seeing the Suns and Bucks (or ATL) make the Finals for some unusual parity in the league.

The Clippers have gone from giving up 3-1 leads to chasing em down

That was Doc's calling card..losing series leads.

Ty Lue is the opposite as he has done it before with Cleveland...cements his legacy really if he can once again pull it off.

As much as it has surprised me, I've been very impressed with what he's gotten out of unlikely sources like Reggie Jackson and Terrence Mann

I think we've all forgotten how good Paul George actually is with him taking more a backseat the last few seasons.  He was a beast in Indiana and is showing it again.  Even when Leonard comes back, I think they should run through George as he has better all around offensive skills.  Let Leonard play more off the ball.

Trae Young is out for tonight’s game. Per ESPN

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an official in any sport take a player out like that. Zebras, please stay away from the players. Just ruined the series... :(

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Me either. Where are the folks who said Tre looked the same after the injury? The Zebras are supposed to stay out of the way. That is maybe the most important thing they should do. If a fan did that they'd be banned for life. If another player did that they'd be suspended the rest of the year. Refs just have free range with no consequences.

Lol I will laugh so hard if the Bucks blow this game with Trae out, especially with Giannis out there airballing free throws.

And speaking of free throws, are the refs and league really looking the other way and letting Giannis explicitly break the ten second rule on free throws? Because he’s absolutely right at that 10 second mark on every free throws. And that’s pretty hypocritical for a league that’s doing everything they can to speed up games  ???

Yeah,on top of that, its such a waste of time by Giannis. Why does he need 10 seconds or more to shoot a free throw? He's going to miss anyway, just get it over with. Maybe if he spent less time at the line thinking about it he'd make more of them.

I guess the Dr Jekyll version of the Bucks have turned up tonight. Soft
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I was thinking the same thing. He's thinking too much. Just shoot.

Oh oh, Giannis looks hurt.
