JWags is 100% incorrect on Bogues.

Bogues was a novelty because of his size. Like those mini beenie babies from McDonalds in the 90s

Bcrap.  The man played 14 years in the NBA at 5'3.

Dead cat bounce for the Bucks, perhaps, but there will be hope for 48 hours. If Dame and Giannis return, suppose anything is possible. Win or lose, Pacers have shown themselves to be tremendous frauds.

It's unfortunate Portis was kicked out of game 4. 

[MUfan12]

Cathartic win, regardless of what happens Thursday. Wish they would have had that tenacity on the boards in game 3.

Bigger loss was game 3. They had it.

Going to be there when they put Middleton’s jersey up in the rafters

He'll be up there with such luminaries as Brian Winters and Jon McGlocklin.

Jonny Mac I could understand to a degree, but the Winters one always puzzled me. Same with Lanier, who had pedestrian numbers with the Bucks.

Khris absolutely belongs up there. 11 seasons, 3 time all star, NBA Champion. Third in franchise history in points and assists, #2 in games played, #1 in three pointers.

Oh he absolutely belongs up there. Probably, what...the fifth best in team history behind Kareem, Giannis, Moncrief and Dandridge?

I’d put him before Dandridge.  I’d listen to a debate about Moncrief versus him. 

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I can go with Dandridge, but in the early 80s, Sidney Moncrief was absolutely one of the best players in the league to the point where he made an All NBA first team. Those Bucks teams were so easy to root for but could simply never get over the hump.  Middleton never had that peak.

Sid was an incredible defender.  I don’t have any issue with anyone putting him ahead of Khris.

Sounds like Darvin Ham is toast.

[MU82]

Ham ... toast.

Add a slice of cheese, a little spicy brown mustard, and some lettuce and tomato, and you've got a nice sandwich there.

Croque monsieur is better, or in this case "croak monsieur" might be more appropriate.

[lawdog77]

Another Porter in trouble.

Being Lebron's coach is like being Henry VIII's wife

I don't think we've had any decapitations yet

Have we seen David Blatt lately?

Nice.

[Skatastrophy]

I'm starting to think this may not be the Heat's year.

[Lennys Tap]

And Darvin Ham hasn’t produced an heir.

Tyler Herro was nice this postseason.  Classic case of subtraction by addition.

The homer take is that he was our player left to guard so he got no gifts.

No PG (and he didn't step up), didn't hit open shots, and he couldn't guard anyone 1-5 on the Cs in the series. Pretty disappointing.
