Why is it so hard to not cross the line as a fan?

Trash talk and heckling is fine but looking to demean players and make disrespectful comments shouldn't be hard to pick out and say "Oh, maybe I shouldn't say THAT."

It's not that it's hard to do, people want to and revel in saying that kind of ****, because the vast majority of the time there is no consequence for doing so.

Brad Stevens timeout usage is atrocious.

Could Marcus Morris pretend to give a **** on defense tonight?

Embiid should win defense player of the year.

Kyrie got too cute with that layup. He let Joel recover. And got his **** sent.

Man this play by Mitchell is nasty

Last year he wouldn't have known to hesitate and then explode like that. Love how he seems to be getting better every game

I wish the nba called less fouls I can’t even watch a game all the way live because they call a foul every other time down the court.

But if less fouls are called, we see less of the refs. Why even tune in if we don't notice refs in the game?

Seriously, if NBA wants to fix ref issues, allow more things to go. Less things called fouls so refs get involved less and fans have less to get mad over.

Even when watching a game I'm unbiased watching I get mad watching because of stupid and frequent foul calls.

He’ll be in the running. But Giannis, PG, Myles Turner, and Gobert all up there as well.

I’ve been a big advocate of PG most of the year. Turned that Thunder defense in to the top in the league at the halfway point, might still be there, and translates defense to offense more than any player in the league. They also dropped a lot with him missing time, so he has that impact metric going for him..

I think it’ll be hard to go against Giannis though. He basically tops every defensive stat, passes the eye test, is a dominant defensive rebounder, has the Bucks up around tops in the league.. he does have a few plus level defenders around him though.

Myles Turner has been as good as any big. And he’s swatting damn near everything.

They will. Raptors need to make up 4 games on Bucks with just 11 games left.

If Bucks win every game vs teams below .500, that's 5 wins alone right there. Raptors load management mode will probably have them go 7-4, 9-2 at best to end season. Its easy schedule, but no need to try.

Big IF after tonight's game.

9 players suited, 7 players out including Giannis and the 2nd night of a back to back.

No excuses, though.

With a Raptors win over OKC the Jazz can swing from 7th to 5th tonight. Just a couple wins back from the 3rd seed now too

Surprising seeing Bucks lose to Cavs.

Cavs have defeated Rockets, Pacers, Bucks, 76ers, Raptors!

Raptors 2 back of Bucks. Wasn't expecting Bucks to lose to Cavs, but I did think Raptors take 1 of 2 vs OKC. Was expecting that 1 to be in Toronto, so a 2 game swing right here already.
