    Great series. Who needs Sucka Chump teams like the Fakers and Nyets.

    really looking forward to game 5 Saturday. Might lay a few bucks on the Bucks, assuming they’re underdogs in Phx

    I’ll trade CJ and his fancy dribble to Middleton

    Might be a good bet. Phoenix will most likely be favored.

    Jrue wasn't much better, at least on offense. He has the occasional good game and everyone thinks he needs to shoot more, but he's usually hurting the team when he thinks he's a perimeter gunner. Stick to the drive-and-dish game.

    Do your sources indicate that it will effect Chauncey at all? I want us to give him a shot. Man, we should do everything possible to get Ainge to clean our shit up (roster-wise).

    The numbers aren't bad, but for a starter they're also pretty 'meh'. Booker was going off on him pretty good tonight.

    No sideline reporter would ever be missed by me - talk about an inane job.

    Best game of the finals. I think Milwaukee wins it.

    he's not a starter. He's their 6th man after DiVencenzo got injured. He's been solid throughout the playoffs but has stepped it up in the finals. He only has an 11.7% usage rate in the finals. He's playing the role of a glue guy, kind of like Batum did for the Clippers; and he's playing the role well

    If this is about Pat C, I agree, he is playing his role really well.

    I really misjudged him. Thought he would be out of the league for sure. Don’t know what the numbers say but he seemed to become MUCH better defensively in Milwaukee.
