Watching the bucks game with at least 4 players wearing white headbands - must be an NBA mandated dress code right? Also seems to have the NBA logo on it
That's crazy. I'm sure Josh says he doesn't want to be subbed out, but if he gets an overuse injury then he'll regret that. Coaches shouldn't be playing guys 53 minutes this early in the playoffs
Obviously having your favorite team not even be in the dance is sad but watching the postseason from a neutral perspective is pretty fun as well. Makes me feel even better when I know we already have 4 of them (in the modern era) and most of these teams would be lucky to win 1 in their lifetime.
Borderline, but to me — letter of the law aside — it’s a common foul. Brunson initiated the contact by pushing Embiid off balance, and Embiid was clearly not trying to do anything more than block the shot. And the contact to the face was super soft. If not for Brunson’s grade A acting job, I don’t think anyone would have thought F1.
Dunno, that was a pretty clear swipe down from Embiid, and he never ever had a shot at the ball (to me, it looked like Brunson's head was in the way, beginning to end).
I don't think it was intentional, but intent is not a consideration. Anything above the head like that, I'd prefer they call as a flagrant, just to discourage above the neck hits.
I'd love a world where Maxey could be traded for Brunson, just so I could root for him (alongside DDV/Robinson/Hartenstein) without rooting for Embiid.
There is a reason I prefer watching people like maxey and antman - they seem to play with a lot of joy - like Steph- unlike Brunson and even SGA to some extent - who don’t bring the good vibes
Bucks win 115-92.

Closing a series out is never easy.
I thought Pacers would close this out today since Lillard and Gianni’s are out.
Bucks defense looks good tonight - no dame
Unless you were playing the Suns 😉
JFC. Is this a G league playoff game or NBA?
Which game - bucks?
Empty arena but at least it sounds somewhat loud on TV
Absolutely awesome block by Mobley to save the game at the end.
Cavs go up 3-2 in the series. Can the Cavs close the series out in Orlando, or will the Magic force a game 7?
Cleveland about to take game 5 to go up 3-2 vs the magic
Thibs keeps thibbing and thibbing… Josh Hart with the perfect 53:00 play time. No rest in an OT game.

I know the Knicks are still a pretty young team but even if they move on... I imagine these guys will eventually run out legs the deeper they advance

Wow!! Tyrese freaking Maxey. What a game. Have to catch my breath.
One more turnover, and Embiid would've had a quadruple-double.
Three players have played over 50 minutes tonight: Hart, Brunson, and Maxey.
Wow. This is shaping up to be the most fun first-round series in NBA history.
Personally, I had more fun in the 2007 first round. But this is a good one for a neutral fan for sure.
Ooh, that was a good one. 2013 v Denver, too. (And heck, 2023 v Sac…)
Sigh. I wanted the Knicks to win this
I wanted the Knicks in the series, but was rooting hard for Philly tonight. This series is too exciting to end in 5!
If that's not an F1 ...
It is. Here's the replay:

Anyway, the hoops gods agreed. BDL!

Can anyone remember what Brookes got for his cheap shot on GPII?
One game suspension.

With you on that
And I am not much of a fan of Brunson
