Imagine how Giannis feels. 

[livid]

I don't have to. I tore my ACL a couple years ago so I am very aware of the pain he could be in (but hopefully isn't)!

[Pooker]

No structural damage in Giannis' knee. The MRI was clean, but no time table on his return. 

[Benjamin]

Hope the Hawks take advantage and finish it in six now.

Which looks like what the Suns are about to do to the Clippers as well. This game has been so fun and it's making  me so happy 😛

Maybe up until the never-ending 3rd quarter. These fouls are beyond ridiculous.

TBH I'm just sneaking in quick 1 minute watches as I switch tabs between the game and um, doing my job :p, but every time I switched over the Suns have scored or stopped a Clips offense 

[Pooker]

Pat Beverly needs to be banned from the NBA. Between mocking Donovan Mitchell and Chris Paul when they got hurt, and now pushing Paul from behind, he's clearly not in the right mindset to play in the NBA.

Also, he's making me want to root for Chris Paul, and that's just not something I ever thought I could do.

[Your Mom]

So no Giannis or Trae Young. Game 5 might just suck  

[Pooker]

Bucks still have Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. Hawks have Huerter, Lou Williams, and a few others. It won't be as exciting without Young or Giannis, but there's still some good players playing tonight.

Pat Bev has always been a player where the hype of his antics is far more impactful than his actual contributions.

This has been a game of blowouts after game 1, so hopefully this big lead the Bucks have will slim down and we'll get some fun stuff at the end tonight.

Ah well 😕 At least @livid is happy.

Yes. Yes I was!

We'll see how Saturday goes, especially if Trae plays but I still feel confident in the Bucks' ability to close out, even without Giannis. Their defense is just way better than Atlanta's but they need to show the efforts on that end like they did last night and in game 2 and less like they showed in game 4. 

[Pooker]

Pat Bev has been suspended for one game for shoving Chris Paul in the back.

[Benjamin]

Jrue Holiday has been tearing this Hawks offense to shreds in the first half. 

[Pooker]

Bucks vs Suns?

I say Suns in 6.

[gunnar hendershow]

Really hard series to predict with the uncertain health of the best player in the entire series.

Frank Kaminsky is perfectly healthy though…?

[livid]

Go Bucks!

[gunnar hendershow]

Milwaukee just can't seem to go small and Phoenix is running circles around them as a result. Giannis is the best player in this series but I don't know if he can make up for the mismatches all on his own.

[livid]

Middleton and Jrue need to be more effective on offense but the Bucks miss Donte Divincenzo a lot. Their rotation just isn't the same without him there and he'd be a good guy to throw at Booker or CP3 at times. 

Hopefully they can build momentum in Milwaukee.
