Yeah, I tend to agree, especially up by 35 pts and your team out of it.

I just didn't know if it should of been a flagrant 1 or 2. Plus 2 sets a tone for the rest of the series, don't try that stuff again.

The Bucks will most definitely sweep the Pistons. The ONLY & I mean the ONLY chance the Pistons have @ winning a game is if they can get Griffin back. Otherwise, the Bucks will beat the Pistons by at least 15+ points every game. Just a complete mismatch by the Bucks against the Pistons from every position on the court.

If Griffin can come back then that will at least provide them a go-to-guy for scoring & a little better chance @ a win. I do say a possible win because even if Griffin comes back I still don't see the Pistons taking a game from the Bucks UNLESS the Bucks just have a total blown tire type of game. LOL!

I really think both the Magic & Nets can take their series to 7 games. I think one if not both teams could end up pulling off big upsets in those series. I would give the Nets the better chance though. They are playing so well & have a true leader & dominating scorer in Russell. The 76ers will need Embiid to be more healthy & the team must play much better than they did in Game #1 if they want to beat these Nets. They are one hungry team!

Bucks in 4
Raptors in 6
Nets in 7
Celtics in 5

The tendency to do so plays a large role in the high number of offensive fouls he was called for throughout the season. Extremely frustrating to watch as it continues to happen.

Don't know if you guys saw, but Blake Griffin is likely out the rest of the series.

Man BG grew up so much and busted his *** this year...sad to see it not pay off for him..

[areobee401]

Sucks, but totally expected given how he looked the last time he played right before the season ended.

He gets hurt every year
