Anyway. Savor it. Possibly Giannis' last game in a Bucks' uniform set to kick off.

And I realize I have jinxed it now.

ouch.

Ignoring me again. Your specialty

Clippers/Nuggets game will be interesting. I expect both teams to fight like hell.

I'm rarely for this actually but I thought about it. Durant will be 37 when next season starts, he becomes an unrestricted free agent in '26 and the Suns are an absolute dumpster fire. If Houston doesn't believe Jalen Green is a #1(or at least 1b along side big S) then trade him. He was a #2 pick, he's young and he hasn't had any injury concerns or off the court issues. They might need a second player and a draft pick to add.

The other issue is Durant needs a team he fits into and they're really aren't that many. On top of that you keep him off of an even better team. OKC has a ton of draft picks they can still move.

The Bucks looked really relaxed in the first quarter.

You all who thought the Pacers weren't gonna respond to being down 20. Nice physical game epitomizing dirty work.

Bucks not relaxed at all. Looking desperate.

Back in it.

It’s was one person

Nomad · 04-29-2025, 06:13 PM

I mean I was worried too. I include myself. But Nesmith ignited on schedule, the wall held, and Nemby hit some clutch shots.

Down six.

blackvodka · 04-29-2025, 06:19 PM

I doubt Green hits 4 threes in the second half.

Siakam hasn't had the best series so far though. Only 2 points so far. I wonder if he turns it around.

Siakam has been starting and leading secondary to a large extend. He was very worn at end of season. I think that has come back. But a fighter.

Nembhard unconscious. Double A setting him up in rhythm.

oshmeehan · 04-29-2025, 06:28 PM

Pacers are a bunch of frontrunners. They remind me of those Grizzlies' teams from a few years ago that would get curb stomped in the 2nd round.

If I'm the Rockets, is it worth it to offer 23 year old Jalen Green at $12M for 37 year old KD at $50M? Maybe Jabari and some picks? Who knows what the Suns' price is for KD. Like black alluded to, maybe they're just looking to offload his huge salary because they are way over the cap. I think they're over the 2nd apron. But the Rockets are also over the cap. I think they'll need another team to help facilitate.

Nomad · 04-29-2025, 07:06 PM

If Pacers can close out the series here and now they have a chance against Cleveland. Nice to see quarter start with a set piece for Nesmith.

Hallco · 04-29-2025, 07:10 PM

Why does it seem like Robin Lopez has been in the NBA since before Y2K?

Nomad · 04-29-2025, 07:12 PM

He and Myles. OG grandaddies.

Speaking of which, TJ outscoring entire Bucks' bench.

Don't worry... Pacers are going to get stomped in the second round.

Having a hard enough time with a team that couldn't beat the Cavs reserves.

Nomad · 04-29-2025, 07:38 PM

Bucks are tough. Sorry. This game has been monumental. Deer hit two amazing 3s just to stick around.

OT baby!

Bosoxfan5990 · 04-29-2025, 07:43 PM

Who thought starting the Celtics game at 8:30 EST was a good idea?

tjforce · 04-29-2025, 07:44 PM

Edit Make the one that mattered.

coltsnsox07 · 04-29-2025, 07:51 PM

Cleveland gonna sweep their way to the Eastern finals.

All time meltdown here

Giannis simply can't let that happen. He's obviously amazing but so limited offensively. And he got blown by multiple times by Hali down the stretch.

Hard to fault the dude that went 30/20/13 with such limited talent around him.

It took 2 Gary Trent turnovers in the last 29 seconds to lose it. would have been better off letting Giannis go 1-4 from the FT line
