    So is Ben Simmons ever going to play for the Nets or just sit on the side lines wearing expensive street clothes?

    Giannis hits a 3-pointer to tie the game with 18 seconds left in Brooklyn and becomes the all-time leading scorer for the Bucks.
    KD missed on the ensuing possession for Brooklyn and the game goes into overtime.

    Giannis starts hitting '3's at a consistent rate, and it's over for anyone guarding him....even more so than it was before.

    The clippers commit two monumental brain farts at the end of regulation in Chicago. With seven seconds left in regulation and a three point Clipper lead, Terance Mann fouls DeMar DeRozan before the ball is inbounded. DeRozan makes the free-throw and the bulls now are only down by two.
    The bulls inbound the ball and while DeMar DeRozan is shooting a three pointer Paul George undercuts him and DeRozan gets three free throws.
    Amazingly, DeRozan misses the third free-throw, and the game goes into overtime after a full-court heave by the Clippers.

    Amazing what it takes for the world champs to squeeze by a team that is battling just to get IN the playoffs.

    Yeah the Clippers really choked that one away and the refs really were killing them too.

    I don't know about that one that the Clippers announcers were complaining about. If you stick your arm straight out in front of a guy driving to the hoop you're just asking for a shooting foul.

    He was driving from a step inside of three... there's no way that was a shooting foul. If that was called against us (in a game we were trying to win) everyone in this place would be going bonkers.

    I can’t imagine any scenario where the finals won’t be a repeat of Bucks/Suns. I don’t think any other team has a chance. Maybe Dallas. We’ll see. East play-in should be thrilling though.

    I could see Memphis winning the west.
    I could see Luka going nuclear and Dallas taking Phoenix out on the second round.
    I could see the Heat out-dueling the Bucks in the East.
    I could see Tatum leading Boston to a series upset over Milwaukee.

    I definitely see scenarios where the finals involves neither of last year's participants, let alone both.

    I hope you’re right because upsets are fun but it’s doubtful. Suns and Bucks are way better than everyone else.
