Giannis is back yet the Bucks look really meh still

And by all accounts their whole team is healthy (including Middleton)

Jimmy 21pts in 25min

Betcha they'll blame they lost cuz Giannis was injured or Khris Middleton was holding them back

Man, Gabe Vincent has taken 15 shots. I don't think he has ever taken 15 shots in a game before. And we are only at the early part of the Q3.

Edit: I looked it up. He had 1 game this year with 15 or more shots with 17 attempts back in mid-January. He had quite a few games at 10-12 FGAs.

G Vincent hits again. 16 shots.

Still one of these hard-fought comebacks I've come to appreciate. If only this team had that dog in them. Killer intensity and all.

“Paul Pierce is not walking through that door, fans. Kevin Garnett is not walking through that door, and Ray Allen is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door, they’re going to be gray and old. What we are is young, exciting, hardworking, and we’re going to improve. People don’t realize that, and as soon as they realize those three guys are not coming through that door, the better this town will be for all of us because there are young guys in that (locker) room playing their asses off. I wish we had $90 million under the salary cap. I wish we could buy the world. We can’t; the only thing we can do is work hard, and all the negativity that’s in this town sucks. I’ve been around when Jim Rice was booed. I’ve been around when Yastrzemski was booed. And it stinks. It makes the greatest town, greatest city in the world, lousy. The only thing that will turn this around is being upbeat and positive like we are in that locker room ... and if you think I’m going to succumb to negativity, you’re wrong. You’ve got the wrong guy leading this team.”

He's right about the wrong guy leading this team, which is Joe.

No, Joe Shmuck.

Any game with giannis is so not fun to watch. It's  nothing but a ft contest.

Something we can both agree on. 

I can’t stand watching Giannis play.

Yeah, I don't enjoy watching Giannis either.

It'd be lovely to see him get knocked out.

Just need to keep pressuring his low back or keep hitting it till he collapses again. Or even better, someone sacrifice themselves and be a poster and knock him back down when he tries to drive for a dunk. It's playoff basketball 🤷

Huge half coming up in Warriors-Kings

Warriors up at the half

[Phantom255x]

Giannis is literally allowed 4-5 steps while holding the ball

Blatant travel but not for Giannis, he’s allowed…

In 221 career games, Gabe Vincent has taken more than 15 shots 5 times. He has two games at 17 FGAs, one at 16 FGA and two games of 20 FGAs.

He is currently on 17 FGA tonight.

Such an unlikely player to step up with a big scoring game. So limited offensively as both a scorer and a passer. He is just a defensive guard who works his socks off ... but he's getting it done tonight.

The Heat look like they ran out of gas. They went ice cold in the 3rd and were struggling to get good looks. It wasn't from the Bucks playing impressive defense or anything either.

[Who]

This 16pt MIL lead does not feel secure. Not because MIA is dangerous but because MIL looks like they could choke for a few minutes time at any moment.

[Who]

Think I'll switch over to SAC vs GSW.

Huerter has been a disappointment in this series after a strong regular season. Monk has made up for Huerter's poor play / helped hide Huerter's poor performance.

Nice to see Huerter get a couple of buckets to start the third. It'd be great to see him get going.

[jpotter33]

Man, Bam is just mediocre anymore.

[Who]

Draymond sees the floor so well on that short roll PnR. Beautiful patience and passing.
