Welp, looks like the NBA agrees with the Sixers' "whining" about the no calls.

https://official.nba.com/l2m/L2MReport.html?gameId=0042300112

I've never understood the purpose of this.  They can have a 48 minute report and list 50 calls that were wrong.

When people talk about the NBA being a far superior product, the first quarter of Suns/Wolves should not be the point of reference.

Its a Rembrandt compared to most of the Cavs/Magic series

A bit of a concerning start for the Bucks.  Indy is consistently getting quality looks.

The Bucks might want to guard Siakam?  WTH are they doing?

Nesmith flexing after he flies 15 feet from barely a shove from Khris is a little ironic.

Really hoping Giannis is back, but fully healthy. These Pacers players acting like they’ve done anything in their careers besides win a couple In Season Tournament games is pretty funny.

Is there some Jontay Porter action going on with Embiid? First he half ass goes to box out Hart, who is already checked, leaving Hartenstein a clear runway to go get the offensive rebound. Then he’s here pushing Lowry away from trying get a 50/50 ball. Not to mention his last second shot attempt looked like he had no clue time was about to expire until the absolute last split second.

Miami with 23 threes tonight and about to win at Boston.   Spo is a great coach but sometimes it's just about draining buckets.

The Cs didn't play defense on 3s tonight. You can't leave pros open from 3 like that.

SGA is very impressive.  Smooth, poised, and has an unflappability to his game.  He's the kind of player and talent that I would like at Marquette.

A do everything 6'6 PG who controls the game?   Who wouldn't love to have one for a season?   He was a one and done at Kentucky.  Started college coming off the bench.     NBA development slowed by injuries.  Now, healthy at 25, he is playing really well.

Do you still think Holmgren is a bust?

Yes. It would be nice to have someone as talented as the potential NBA MVP at Marquette.

We always need to be in an attack mindset/mode.  This is just a reminder.

I never said he was a bust,.  I believe I suggested/asked that he could be a bust.  Clearly I was wrong.

Any medical professionals on here that can explain what's going on with Embiid's left eye?  He like can't blink, apparently has been wearing sunglasses around the locker room, and won't look into cameras during press conferences/interviews.  Looks really weird.

From The Athletic:

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been dealing with a case of Bell’s palsy affecting the left side of his face, mouth and eye for more than a week, the reigning NBA MVP said after Thursday night’s playoff game.

Bell’s palsy is “an unexplained episode of facial muscle weakness or paralysis,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. It “results from damage to the facial nerve,” and there is currently no known cure. Embiid said he has been getting migraines and began experiencing the symptoms shortly before the Sixers’ Play-In Tournament game a week ago against the Miami Heat.

It doesn't appear Giannis will be back.  The Bucks could be in serious trouble moving forward.

You should go rewatch game one before you get too close to the ledge.
