    Not sure if it’s a record, but it’s the first time in history that a team has blown a 10+ point lead in the 4th quarter in 3 games of a 7 game series..

    Considering this was for the first round of the playoffs and the Blazers overt tanking effort, of course Dame & Simons weren’t there.

    Neither was LeBron or AD.

    I don't think the Bucks are giving up this lead. If they can get through this series with the Celtics without Middleton, they'll have to be considered the favorites to win it all and be repeat champions.

    Giannis and the Bucks are the real Champs

    Holy Shit!!! Giannis throwing it off the backboard to himself for the alley oop in traffic was so fucking sick.

    That's a little reductive. The Bucks are stifling and everywhere on defense. They look pretty damn amazing. So the difference between this defense and whatever the Nets were doing is massive.

    Funny that the Bucks defense let you shoot 3s then they beat you. Blazers try to guard the 3s and gets blown out.

    Might work against the Celtics. It will not be the defense they play if they play the Warriors?
    They would get run out of the gym.

    Draymond is a mental midget, but I would be pissed if a Blazers got ejected for a play like that.

    Refs tried to hand the game to Memphis and they still couldn’t win. Lol.

    Brooks should’ve fouled out with like 6 minutes.
    Draymond ejection.
    It was clearly off Brooks with 5 seconds left but they had a jump ball.

    Good game tho.

    that Memphis/GS game had 480 total minutes played, and only 19 of those minutes were played by a C, and that C is a 6'8 PF masquerading as a C

    NBA has changed
