The replay challenges need to go immediately.

The only part of the Bucks game I was able to watch last night was Khris Middleton leading the charge to tie the game in the 3rd, only to be subbed out for Pat C or Korver, who immediately committed a 3-pt foul and killed the rally. I don't get Budenholzer sometimes. Why are starters only playing ~30 minutes? What are you resting them for??

Yeah I'm definitely hoping he doesn't realize that Giannis should be playing more like 40 mins.

I get it when Giannis is in early foul trouble, but between missing free throws and committing unnecessary dead ball fouls, it's not like he's been clutch late in the 4th lately. Just get what you can out of him while he's still available. If he fouls out? Ersan time, baby.

Well he should have been in even worse foul trouble, the Bucks got really lucky they rescinded his 4th foul early in the 3rd quarter.

Some high level execution at the end of that game by both teams. What a finish!

Every Celtic on the floor personally went over and explained to Taco that he should put his arms straight up and then they left a three point shooter wide open. So stupid. Worry about your own assignments I'm sure Taco can handle raising his arms.

I know the post game in the NBA is mostly dead but if they put Giannis on the block like 20% of the time and taught him a baby hook I gotta imagine he'd get a ton of easy points.

The Bulls should have NEVER traded Jimmy. Whatever negative things about him I ever said, I was wrong about. You build around Jimmy Butler just like you build around a Damien Lillard. Are they the best players in the league? No, but cornerstones all the same.

Does Giannis quietly ask for a trade now?

NGL at some point tonight the thought “I can’t believe verb didn’t love Jimmy Butler” crossed my mind.

It was always love. Family relationships are complicated.

So the other day when I was still banned I saw Doris Burke dressed like a hooker and thought...why? Then it crossed my mind that if someone said something about it she would probably get to make a statement before game 1 of the Finals about how empowered she is despite the haters and players would start showing up to games in lipstick and dresses and hashtagging #Dorisstrong on Twitter.
I mean, this is something that probably has a non zero chance at happening at some point guys.

So I'm on the Heat bandwagon. Is there a reason Duncan Robinson and Kentucky Nunn suck so bad? I thought they were key rotation guys for them?
