NBA Season 2022-23

Why is the Bucks city edition blue??

Watching this game, it’s like they are playing at PHI because PHI wears blue lol

Given our blunder last night and how we've overall been playing, if we want any chance of regaining the number one seed, we need games like tonight for Milwaukee to lose.

Granted, Milwaukee does seemingly have a difficult, road-heavy schedule remaining (11 of 19 on the road and several very tough B2Bs, including Denver, Suns, and Boston on SEGABABAs, first two being away) and another game in Philly. But we still need to take care of our business.

Sadly it's not going to happen tonight. Embiid just rolling on the floor for 8 seconds after a good defensive play (or turnover) by MIL leading to easy MIL points the other end, Harden just dribbling for 20 seconds straight then putting up an iso-shot (shooting 5-17 btw), and then their bench scoring just 9 points tonight while Doc is just pouting up and down the sidelines.

If I were a Sixers fan I would be ripping my hair out watching this team this season lol

I actually predict CLE will finish the season the 3 seed, with PHI dropping to 4 or 5

The Bucks look like they are never going to lose a game again. They are clearly the favorites in the East right now.

I mean, until we've seen both teams fully healthy against each other, it's still a coin toss in my eyes, as we've traditionally played them well and have specific matchups that give them problems. Our final matchup this year will be telling, as long as most of the rosters are healthy.

I think what's clear - and has been for awhile - is that there's clearly a major gap between the top two in the East and the rest of the East. I see it like this:

Tier 1 - Celtics, Bucks

Tier 2 - Philly, Cleveland, NYK

Tier 3 - Everyone else

The Sixers get it close, and then here comes the refs just on their knees begging to call fouls for Giannis.

Think most Celtics fans are rooting for the 76ers tonight just to beat the Bucks 

[Phantom255x]

Everytime I watch a Bucks game, Brook Lopez is hitting 3s rather easily and playing all-star defense like huh?? And I hear "Giannis has no help" 

[Phantom255x]

Got to say, it's somewhat amusing watching both these teams just getting every single call down the stretch. Giannis, Harden and Embiid are about to shoot 20 FTs combined between the three of them these final 3 minutes 

[Phantom255x]

EMBIID!!! SIXERS LEAD (for now)

[jpotter33]

Ugh, I'm actually cheering on Philly with that big Embiid three. Feels gross 

[Phantom255x]

HARDEN!!

[jpotter33]

Thanks Philly! (But this just makes me even more mad that we lost last night, as we'd be right back in first place if not.  )

[Phantom255x]

OMG THEY CALLED A TRAVEL ON GIANNIS

[celticinorlando]

Boston is the best team in the east when they want to play
