    Why would I have a stroke? I'm not surprised by anything that's happening. Why don't you check the lines of folks here who can't type Rubio or Thon without typing sucks?



    In case all you Thon haters are wondering why he didn't play like this in the regular season it's because he wasn't given opportunity.

    That team doesn't know what it is doing in the coaching ranks. Starting Henson and Zeller over Thon and not giving Thon an opportunity to work out the kinks? Come on. Give me a break. It only takes thirty seconds watching and listening to Prunty in the pressers to know he's in over his head. He juat happened to reach up and pull the right lever and get lucky. Bucks should put this depleted Celtic team away. But I suspect they'll find a way to blow it. None of that is on Thon. He should be starting and playing 30+. And he should have been all along.

    Looks like it is time of the year where Maker flashes his potential, baits all of us into buying his stock, then sucks ass next year.

    No hate for Thon Maker at all. I just don't buy he will be a consistent performer over the long 82. If he started and played 30+ mins/game, Bucks probably wouldn't have made the playoffs. He wasn't ready for that. Maybe next year he'll finally be worth a dime but he still won't get 30 mins/game. Capela hasn't even got to that point yet.

    Agreed the Bucks are dysfunctional but they aren't to be blamed for Maker's inconsistency. He got more mins this year but didn't seem to improve much (if at all).

    Rockets scored more points in a quarter than either of these teams in a half.

    Antetokounmpo is fool's gold.

    The Bucks are not getting past these junior varsity Celtics without Kyrie and Hayward.

    Meanwhile, the Sixers are also up and coming in the East.

    I didn’t watch the game

    Giannis with only 10 shots and he can’t get 1 win in Boston so far? Tf was going on in this game?

    Didn't see any of game 5. What I noticed from the box score:

    Semi Ojeleye started and Greg Monroe didn't even play. Why did this happen and how did he do?

    Marcus Smart played. How much did he increase the Celtics' defensive intensity?

    Were the Bucks as painful to watch as their 36.8%/27.3% indicates?

    Bucks coach Joe Prunty is wearing the same suit & tie I bought at Jos. A. Bank in 1998.

    Just by looking at the score, you’d think these teams were defensive juggernauts.

    If the Greek Freak can shoot 3s he will officially become the best player in the league.
