Haha that was an awful play drawn up by Doc.

Let's also give him props for that one then.

Agree.  If you're going to criticize then you also have to commend when it is appropriate.  Good play by Doc.

I couldn’t really tell in real time. What was the play exactly? A screen for Embid?
They ran a good misdirection by getting two shooters in Maxey and Niang flooding to the other side of the court, leaving Embiid fairly open off the screen

Thanks I didn’t catch that in real time.

Crazy that for all our hand wringing, me included, the bulls series may be the one tied 1-1 after two.

Yeah this was the one series I looked at and thought, "omg so easy for the Bucks, easy sweep"

In fact I was one of the leaders who was pushing for the C's to tank for Chicago

I will say having Caruso and Williams back has helped them. I think if they had those two all year along with a healthy ball they would have won 47-50 games.

Yeah, Patrick Williams is my pick for winning Most Improved Player next year.

I wouldn't call it fairly open and most definitely not easy.  Other than Embiid making the shot, the big part of the play was Harris' screen.

Bulls appear to be running out of gas. Possible three abs a flagrant here

He was fairly open on the catch, and the main contest was from VanVleet. That's not a bad look at all

Also, I take what I said back about the first round being kind of boring a few days ago. Games have been great today

Lot of blown leads today it seems. Nets up 17, blown. Raptors up 17, blown.

Bulls were up 18, now it's a 3-point game

Yes but if the Bucks pull out the win all three series could end up going 4-0.

And back to 16 for the Bulls.  DeRozan isn’t looking scared of the playoffs tonight.

It's weird, the East has had much more competitive games, but the West has the series' that have had actual upset games.

Another Celtics killer, DeRozan.

BTW, just how many steps is Giannis allowed to take?
