He's out for the game.  No bueno

Send in Thanasis to end Love's career

What happened?  Sweet Jesus. 

[tower912]

Herro NOT going to the locker room?!?!?

[The Sultan]

What had Giannis done on the previous possession?

Not even remotely similar.

[HutchwasClutch]

Assuming Giannis can get back, the trash basketball of Love and Lowry will be a good warmup for the Celtics

There was nothing "trash" about what Love did.  Just trying to get a charge call.  I don't understand how Giannis went down flipping around and falling on his back.  Unless he was trying to sell a block.

Totally trash. But it's not Love's fault. It's what we've rewarded in college and pro basketball for a number of years now.

It was complete trash. He was trying to avoid contact obviously.

yannis is out and i spent 12k on him in my fanduel...and i'm paying more for car insurance

[Uncle Rico]

Yup.  A plague on the game at all
Levels

[MuggsyB]

What is the explanation for giving up 68 points at half? 

[rocket surgeon]

jimmy f'ing butler

  put wes and jae on jimmy and f' with his head a little

Agree trash from the standpoint how it's rewarded and it being bad for the game. I just meant it wasn't a goon move by Love.

I wish Bam was more aggressive on offense. He disappears in games too often.

Jimmy is him

Strus and Love hitting 3s helps with spacing. I hope Herro is okay. The Heat need his intensity.

[rocket surgeon]

talk about physicality...the injuries are piling up and we ain't thru round one yet

  yannis, ja morant, tyler herro...i'm sure there are a few more

[wadesworld]

Bud's game plan is what led to 68. When the Bucks swept the Heat they put Giannis on Jimmy, Jrue on Herro, and Brook on Bam. Giannis made Jimmy totally invisible. Got outscored by Bryn Forbes.

This year Bud let's Herro get off on Grayson and put Ingles and Wes on Butler when Jrue got into foul trouble.

[wadesworld]

Ja and Giannis both injured in game 1 because a defender slid under them instead of actually challenging a shot. Congratulations NBA. You dug your own grave.

[tower912]

Herro out.  Dive for one loose ball...

Exactly.  Basketball is a game that is played on your feet but players are rewarded for creating contact and falling to the ground.

[4everwarriors]

Time for #22 ta earn his scratch, aina?

[Skatastrophy]

That delay of game call was hilarious.

[MUEng92]

30% of the players on the court during an NBA Playoff game are MU alums.  So weird

[MuggsyB]

Very disappointing performance by the Bucks including Budenholzer's coaching. 

[4everwarriors]

Billy Packer wuz write, hey?

[MuggsyB]

I didn't see the Giannis play but having watched the Bucks we all know teams, especially Boston and Miami, are going tontry and draw charges against him.
