I don't know who wins this series but fighting for the 3 seed to only get the defending eastern champions round 1 isn't what I would have wanted lol |

After the last few years the Bucks are gonna be doubted until they prove people wrong. I just can’t pick them to win this series. |

Same. Dwight last year should be the model for role players’ mentality— make the most of whatever minutes you get and don’t let lack of minutes discourage you. |

High priced guys who have never won have a harder time because in this case both guys are playing for next contract. They should be fine but we will be even tougher if they embrace it. |

Good point. I suppose this is a chance to see how effective a player manager Vogel is (I think he’s been good so far). |

Man if the W’s won we could have potentially seen 3+ higher seeds lose in the first round between them/jazz, Lakers/suns and heat/bucks. Maybe Memphis can pull off the upset though. Still not sold on Utah after their implosion last year. |

What’s everyone predicting for the mavs-clippers series? I’m thinking 6/7 game series that could go either way. |

Can’t believe they called that FT clock violation. That was 11 seconds, for sure. But man, Trezz goes to 15 sometimes. |

That 10 second FT violation is bogus. They should use a shot clock, counting by hand is so subjective. I did a replay and counted with my pace and it was not 10 seconds. one 1 thousand, two 1 thousand.. that's so scientific, huh? LOL! |

lol this game is so ugly to finish. Giannis got Karl Malone'd - a 10 second violation on a FT! - and both team's offenses are junk.
Giannis can't hit FTs worth crap, Jimmy refuses to shoot jumpers, just garbage all around. _________________ Under New Management |

It starts the moment he touches the ball, right? I didn't get 10 seconds with my pace, maybe I'm slower. LOL! Now it's in his head. He's rushing and going 1 for 2 every time. |
