I hope Atlanta is dumb enough to give him a supermax and tank the franchise.

spoilers the Hawks have been tanked as a franchise since they traded Dominique

giving Trae the supermax has nothing to do with winning or losing for Atlanta

I looked away from this game when boston was up 102 - 89 and thought it was over

wow

that was the exact score when I turned it on and was like "this is over" and turned it off

the Celtics really blew it huh

ah yeah Suns on to round 2

atlanta needs to sell tickets; the franchise is already tanking

from a pure business standpoint, atlanta needs flashy superstars more than they actually need a chip

It's gameday

today we welcome the return of the beam
and hopefully I can see it in person for the first time

Kawhi actually had a torn meniscus

Like I said, I don't think he ever fully recovered from Zaza ruining his leg

Congrats to the Knicks on winning their first playoff series in over a decade

The final disaster nail in Minnesota's disaster coffin of a season

Jrue Holiday, who has played well all year for the Bucks has been absolute garbage this entire series.

Fox seems fine.

I picked Suns > Celtics, right? Looking good.

I don't think the Suns looked all that impressive, all things considered.

Celtics will eventually be defeated by their own coaching.

potential bucks collapse (again) alert

Their 4th quarter has been absolutely pathetic

oh my god jimmy butler

Jimmy Butler is not human

draymond doing his best to cost the warriors this game

edit: I guess he did have over 20

lol milwaukee just wont call timeout and waste the final 8 seconds

lol why is Grayson Allen still in the league

I don't think the Bucks win this series even if Giannis doesn't get hurt. I don't know what they were trying to do on offense once the 4th quarter started, but it was awful.

Giannis has tarnished a bit of his legacy with the way he shit the bed down that final stretch. Holy hell. What an embarassing performance.

good thing the Bucks saved three timeouts to carry into the off-season

Bye Bucks

honestly, coach bud may be on the hot seat. How do you mismanage that 4th quarter so poorly two games in a row

Bud should definitely be on the hot seat.

Tough luck for the Kings but they aint winning Game 6

with Nick Nurse unemployed, Bud should be fired immediately

dang steph curry is good at basketball

lol what this is one of the best game draymond's played in years he's literally doing everything

wild NBA night tonight. god kings were so close and just couldn't hit a shot again. Warriors the better team

yeah, that was mostly just in reference to him throwing the ball away that one possession. I caught myself!

but also this series isn't over. the kings are good on the road and the warriors are streaky. kings win game 6 they also win game 7.

I mean, as a Bucks fan, we got our chip two years ago so whatever comes next is gravy as far as I'm concerned, but this series was an embarrassment to Giannis, an embarrassment to Coach Bud, and just an embarrassment overall to the franchise.

Giannis especially. Just flailing to the hoop hoping to get fouled even though he couldnt hit a free throw if his life depended on it. Bricking on those two late free throws in overtime. Then fouling the guy shooting the 3 just to add to his incompetence. I love Giannis as a player and as a person, but he played horribly down the stretch. The absolute opposite of clutch. Coach Bud should have sat him to be honest.

Coach Bud had his own issues though. Not calling that timeout at the end of regulation. Or at the end of overtime. His inability to coach this team out of back to back fourth quarter meltdowns. His ambivalent persona doesn't do him any favors in that regard either. When you go about with the demeanor of Mike McCarthy and then completely fuck up like that it just makes you look like a bumbling dumbass.

The franchise loses out on a playoff run with a 1 seeding that actually meant something. To get to be opposite of both Boston and Philly, this was supposed to be a cakewalk to the conference finals. Any wishful thinking that the Bucks could potentially create a dynasty behind Giannis takes a massive blow here. It is much more realistic at this point that we got our championship and we should be satisfied with that. Of which I am personally, but I know a lot of other fans that are more diehard than myself are not.

Refs hurt the Kings tonight BUT not why they lost. Kings lost because they played like ass and I think Mike Brown fumbled some of the rotation tonight.

Game 6 Klay at Chase frightens the fuck out of me

...But as bad as the Kings played, it was still a one possession game late in the 4th. They were right there. This game hurt (my voice as I lost it from yelling the whole game), but my hopes aren't dashed -just- yet. Game 7 would be wild

-No lead is safe
-Doesn't know how to use timeouts
-Looks dumbfounded 95% of every game

Has anyone ever seen coach Bud and Mike McCarthy in the same room? Starting to think we might have some Scooby Doo hijinks going on.

The Knicks have home court in a second round playoff series

What a world

GSW > Heat I guess

too bad Giannis got hurt

Bud absolutely would have been gone by now if the bucks hadn't won the championship they did. He'd have been gone that year, he's lucky he wasn't gone the year before.

how well do the Knicks match up against boston

GSW > Knicks here we go
