De’Aaron Fox has a fractured finger in his shooting hand, per reports.  He’s doubtful for his next game, which is a huge loss for the Kings as he’s played so well.

Wow, what a year for injuries.  I am still not sure that GSW can win on the road though.  If they can't beat SAC with no Fox, they are in trouble.

oh man, what bad luck for Sac.

I think Sacto already blew it anyway—big difference between being up 3-1 and being tied at 2. GS probably now wins in 6.

If Fox is done for the series, then no one would disagree with you.  I like to hope for a miracle though.

Is it just me, or does it feel like GS might just have a shot to come out of the west.

It isn't just you, several teams have a shot to come out of the West, including GSW.  I don't think they can win on the road in DEN or PHX though.  That is going to make it tough on them.

In that case, I really do need the Warriors to win so they can take out the Lakers next round.

Worst case...Lakers go through the Grizzlies, take out a banged up Kings team, and then somehow take out a worn/banged up Suns team. Don't want them sneaking into the Finals

It's been fun, beam team, but for the sake of interests...GSW would be better suited next round.

Well Giannis looks fine and the Bucks are on a mission. Looks like it'll be 2-2 after tonight

WOW Butler is beasting. 19 points already with 2 mins left in the 1st, out of the 25 Miami has scored as a team. Pretty sure he's scored their last 13 points as well

The Heat aren’t a good basketball team.  They’re the #8 seed for a reason.  If Giannis plays the rest of the series, Bucks will win in 6

The refs bailed Giannis out of that 3rd foul.

The standards that Giannis and Embiid are reffed with is BS. Giannis picks up foul #3 before halftime, the Bucks challenge and despite not having enough to overturn, they still overturn it because it's Giannis  ::)

Agreed.  I couldn’t believe that the challenge was successful.  What a joke!  These refs ought to be ashamed.  Get off your knees!!!

Bam is a superstar when going up against Kanter/Theis in a playoff series.

Otherwise he's basically just a bum

He's missed so many 5 footers in this game it's sad.

Back to wanting Joe fired.

Miami extended the series but with Giannis back it’s over. Man their offense is ugly.
