SoSH is better than most boards. A couple of questionable calls and this plays turns into Chiefs Planet. The Celtics aren’t even in this game.Show me an NBA board on the entire internet that does not do this.
Certainly it will be a less frustrating series to watch without Theis fouling out every game with the Giannis auto-whistle.Giannis, Middleton's shot, and Butler seems like he can be guarded by all the premium wings we have.
Celtics match up well with Bucks, defensively. Walker can guard Herro or Goran, too.
Very fair.Well, in fairness, Giannis shouldn't have been in the game to commit the foul, because he had somewhere north of 10 fouls not called tonight.
Given his performance just a few minutes ago... no.If I’m Butler I miss the first one for fun.
Right.. because refs are ruining a game that we love to watch but is a horrible product because of how bad the officiating is.SoSH is better than most boards. A couple of questionable calls and this plays turns into Chiefs Planet. The Celtics aren’t even in this game.
I appreciate those suffering from Doris fatigue but she completely redeemed herself by calling Steve Javie an idiot on national television. I expect Tommy Heinsohn to propose marriage any moment now.STFU Javie
Edit: and good on Doris for being like “you’re full of shit”
For what? Leaf blowing? Plumbing? Taxes? Each one is a stain on officiating and likely any other task that requires a shred of integrity.Marc Davis btw. I’d take Foster and Brothers over Davis every day and twice on Sunday.
He's been particularly horrible for the better part of two decades?Marc Davis btw. I’d take Foster and Brothers over Davis every day and twice on Sunday.
I bet you'd prefer Tim Donaghy to Mark Davis.Marc Davis btw. I’d take Foster and Brothers over Davis every day and twice on Sunday.
Doris isn't perfect but I challenge anyone to name a more prepared color commentator on a national broadcast. She and Stan Van Gundy are in a class of their own and both are tough but fair on officiatingI appreciate those suffering from Doris fatigue but she completely redeemed herself by calling Steve Javie an idiot on national television.

I think we watched 2 different games.This is where coach bud is a true disservice. The wwf ball the refs are letting the heat play giannis is a joke. Phil Jackson would be killing the refs to clean it out. I just watched 4 quarters of the heat beating the shit out the mvp every time down. That was barely basketball.
There was also the non-call when Butler got trapped in the corner and both defenders grabbed nothing but his arms, leading to a turnover. And a couple minutes earlier, the offensive rebound where Giannis threw Jones out of the way, tackled Kelly O. leading to another 2 points.Ridiculous ending, neither one was a foul, appreciate Doris holding her ground. Javie is just the worst.
Of the two, I can sort of maybe see getting the Dragic foul wrong. NBA players do sometimes try to get away with putting their arms straight up while they walk under the shooter and bump them with their body. I don't think thats what happened there and I think Dragic just stayed in his own space while Middleton leaned into him, but it's sort of maybe, kind of, an excusable missed call.
The second one was a little hand tap well after the ball was released. Aside from the possible make-up nature of that call, it made zero sense in a tie game buzzer beater situation.
Did he bet on the Celtics?I bet you'd prefer Tim Donaghy to Mark Davis.
He has no flex. He can’t adapt like the rest of the coaches left in the conference right now, even though he has the personnel to. Must have Bucks‘ fans infuriated, and Mark Cuban imagining the sickest PnR pairing in the universe.I don't agree Giannis was mugged all game.
That said, I do think Coach Bud has not shown himself to be a wartime consigliere either. He doesn't work the refs, he doesn't adjust, he doesn't seem to be a great motivator. As good as he is in regular season, I'm not buying it yet again in the postseason
A fan on Brew Hoop after Game One said “we have by far the worst coach among the four Eastern teams.” At first I was, like “c’mon, Coach Bud is great, typical overreaction” ... then I was like, “oh wait, he’s right.” But that’s partly cos the other three are incredible.Coach Bud has not shown himself to be a wartime consigliere either.

Her short explanation of making sure you foul on the down dribble (to avoid a shooting foul when you have one to give) was something I'd never heard before.Doris isn't perfect but I challenge anyone to name a more prepared color commentator on a national broadcast.

Spo doesn’t get enough credit for being a young relative nobody coach and surviving LeBron.That was an embarrassment for the NBA.
The Heats’ sphincters tightened pretty firm there at the end, but they’re a tough, we’ll-coached team. Spo really deserves credit.
