lmao

haha

okc playing out of their minds

chet’s block on tatum (look it up) one of the nastiest i’ve ever witnessed

game is serious both teams came to play

xp It looked like a volleyball spike lol

lol a volleyball ref would have whistled that 'spike' as a held ball, but as a blocked shot it was impeccable

glad that embiid is healthy (playing a bad team)

Chet vs Zinger showdown has delivered

love both of them and both of their sitches. need celtics to pull this out tho cmon guys

let the record show Ive been a zinger doubter I just think he’s a perfect secondary/tertiary guy, he’s been proving it this year, might even be their best player pound for pound

Nice that both teams have three guys that can create good looks for themselves

nice comeback by the celtics not quite enough tho they missed too many shots okc was rugged on d too

nice post game shot of the opposing canadians and latvians talking to their countrymen

bucks and pacers are about to play for the fifth time this season

pacers up 3-1 in the series

btw re our previous discussion on whether carlisle was coaching defense at all he did change the starting lineup five games ago to a more defensively capable mix and it seems to be working they have won all the games and only allowed over 120 once

hey jim boylen is a pacers assistant lol forgot about that guy

pacers just put a 47 point 3rd quarter on the bucks

bucks are not good

Feel like this is the best 10-game stretch of IJax's career so far. Don't think he'll ever develop into too much more than he is now, but he's valuable as a defender, rebounder and rim-runner when he stays on the floor.

Lol so much chatter in this game ... would make for a great playoff series.

theyve played so much its almost like a playoff series!

its so funny how whenever a crowd counts when giannis is slow taking fts he always shoots on 10

rick carlisle long time ilh lurker

Sadly Bucks are where they always are – guaranteed victory if Giannis is forced to play all-out for 40+ min. They've mentioned that they brought Lillard in to take some pressure off Giannis in 4th quarters, but seems like the trick for them is for Lillard to carry more of the mid-game minutes since a healthy Giannis driving to the hoop is still the highest-percentage play in the NBA atm.

they used to defend tho

well this game might be the reckoning of all the bad habits the Wolves have been exhibiting lately even though they have been winning more than they've lost

hali murdering the bucks execution style

four of the bucks ten losses are at the hands of the pacers

blazers down to the mavs 31 at the half namaste

scoot was good for a week but he is bad again that's the circle of life

ah i see the thunder can beat the celtics one night but cannot beat the hawks the next night cool cool

that's also the circle of life

so much life tonight its beautiful

Thunder need to be humbled I’m sick of them already

they came really close to pulling off a big last minute comeback

the bucks trading for dame and not getting any better would be funny

theyre worse!

down 16 with 3mins left missed a 3 to tie at the buzzer

I read something about the Thunder arriving in Atlanta at 4 am this morning due to some airline issues. Started slowly and did well to get close.

the Bucks aren't worse they just have zero guidance on defense and will need to score 130 a game

they have no defenders

yeah the perimeter d is just non existent

their plus defenders are giannis, lopez, 33 year old injured jae crowder, and... marjon beauchamp? the rest of their active roster is either a zero or much worse

ok they may need to make a trade or two

they need a roster upgrade badly but they are short on picks and movable contracts

lakers just had one of the saddest offensive possessions I’ve seen this year
