Patrick should be fined big time for hurling the ball not once, but twice at the Pacers fans sitting behind the Bucks bench. At the very beginning of the clip below, you’ll see the ball hitting a woman’s head the first time.

He's as combustible as Dray but without the talent. Given that the league takes Dray's prior conduct into account, I'd hope that he gets a lengthy suspension.

As combustible? Naw he's 1000 times worse and the fact you have to subscribe to his podcast as a reporter to even ask him a question in beyond dickish.

Dude should be suspended for the upcoming year for chucking the balls AND get a hefty fine for his dickish behavior to the media.

Possibly the biggest riches to rags story in many years is the Bucks. They were close to the summit when they had Jrue. Without Jrue, without Giannis, somewhat without Dame, they are a first round out. Shoulda kept Jrue and everyone here said that. Oh, and raise your hand if you're shocked that Doc didn't rescue them miraculously. What a dumb year, the whole front office needs to be put in some back office.

You might put the Grizz in the same category. Injuries crippled them this year but I'm not sure that's gonna matter. There are so many good teams in the West that it's hard to see Memphis as any kind of contender even if Ja comes back strong.

Availability plays a major factor each year. Not willing to believe in Ja’s ability to stay available, but not willing to count out that team if they suddenly have a healthy year. Though i really want to!

I suspect the Grizzlies would have been in the play-in mix at least if they'd had more player availability this season.

There are some kind of questionable performances from the players who were available and you have to wonder if their roster changes are more harmful than expected based on how things went. But when so many key players are missing, I guess it's not surprising that the guys who are still available are less coordinated, less locked-in, less comfortable than in years when you have Plan A on track.

Happy to see DDV play very well but at the same time feel kinda sad on what could have been if he had stayed with the Warriors (even if we couldn’t afford him).

Kinda sad on what could have been if he had got JP3's minutes in the Lakers series... or if he hadn't passed the ball to Dennis Schroeder on one of those awful fateful 4th quarter TOs in game 4...

Will the Cavaliers and the Mavs close out their series tomorrow?

Knicks could use a few days off. DDV played all 48, while Hart, Anunoby, and Brunson played 46, 45, and 44 minutes respectively.

Tobias with 0 points

Yea, I’m pretty baffled by how little Tobias Harris is doing. I’m really curious what kind of contract he will land - will any team give him more than a vet min? Two year $15mm based on regular season stats? Is he even a legit starter anymore? Strange case.

Wow. Gotta think the Sixers will be thrilled to move on from him.

I've never understood why that guy isn't better. Seems sometimes like he would be really good and then disappears completely. No heart?

He used to average 20/7 regularly then just fell off a cliff. Like a worse version of Wiggins. Even this regular season he had 17/6 which isn't bad.

WTF was that last shot lol, didn't need to heave it that quickly

Worried about getting fouled

But it was gonna be called a shooting foul if so.

Not if he held it or dribbled to get space…

Expand full comment

I'm not saying he should've dribbled, just aim a bit so you don't completely brick the backboard. They wouldn't be able to say he wasn't in his shooting motion just because he took a fraction of a second longer to line it up

Villanova guys really came through in the clutch

DDV calmly sinks both FTs. Learned from the greatest 4th quarter free throw shooter

Looked like Hield whispered something to DDV just before he shot the FTs and he smiled back

Reading a Knicks game thread. Not much love for their coach.

Josh Hart best shot of his career...if they hold on

Tied with 35 seconds to go. So glad I am just a casual viewer.
