Christmas Day: Bucks@Celtics

[Imbricus]

Could this get Hauser back on track? If he can make the circus threes, he ought to be able to make the wide open ones.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The amount of effort NBA pundits put into explaining away any possible foul from Giannis..

I like Doris but it feels like she has morphed into a Breen style star-apologist. I wish we got JJ this game. He has been great imo

 

[lars10]

Those highlights.. Doncic plays like an old timer on the pick-up court who does all of those ball fakes as a 20-something year old.

Probably only way she could get airtime

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

They may as well put the announcing team in Bucks jerseys.

 

[lars10]

White was fouled about 17 times there.

 

[benhogan]

is Luke out today?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That Giannis midrange is unstoppable

 

[ifmanis5]

I prefer Kornet to Blake.

 

[lars10]

Replay that 'foul' on Williams

 

[McBride11]

blake with the D

 

[benhogan]

nice job by Blake on Giannis there

another body to throw at him

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Jingles is beating people to the rim?

 

[lars10]

Love Giannis shooting from outside as much as he wants.

Portis always has crazy eyes.

Edit: where's the T there.. that's pretty weak.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Suck it, Portis and Doris.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Threw an elbow at Grant. Weak call though not insane to try to reduce physicality—that was totally gratuitous

 

[ifmanis5]

Chancellor Gowron is displeased.

 

[McBride11]

grant shutup

weak T

edit - well is soft bc he barely touched him, but it was a ‘punch’

 

[benhogan]

Doris is heartbroken

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Doris would be ok with Putin using nukes under certain circumstances apparently

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Physical taunt lol

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

I mean it is weak but you can’t throw a closed fist at someone.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Doris likes it rough, apparently.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Portis’ intent was flagrant 2…his impact level was no-call.

 

[The Mort Report]

I'd be pissed if that was called on a C's player

 

[ifmanis5]

Grant takes more abuse on every other rebound.

 

[McBride11]

Doris is heartbroken

Her being so flustered to find a way out for Portis is entertaining. And she continues

 

[lars10]

The amount of contact required to foul Giannis is infuriating.

 

[slamminsammya]

the downgrade to "physical taunt" is a classic "we were wrong but can't admit it" move from the refs

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The amount of contact required to foul Giannis is infuriating.

especially up against what’s allowed against Tatum, or Brown, the other way.

 

[The Mort Report]

I'm guessing unless it was a challenge from the coach they can't take away the foul

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Giannis AntetoKlangpo.

 

[djbayko]

I mean it is weak but you can’t throw a closed fist at someone.

This is it. It was a weak punch, but I’m fine with them making punches a red line.

 

[lars10]

especially up against what’s allowed against Tatum, or Brown, the other way.

Mainly to me.. he pounds his shoulder into the chest of his defender multiple times and often extends his arm...but if you touch his hand it's a foul.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

It’s bad Blake tonight

 

[eddiew112]

JFC Blake

 

[ifmanis5]

Blake LOL.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Her being so flustered to find a way out for Portis is entertaining. And she continues

Straight-up gaslighting.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Blake with back to back fail-to-turn-back-the-clock sequences.

 

[slamminsammya]

isnt george hill like 40?

 

[Imbricus]

Blake. Ugh. It's a damn layup.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

isnt george hill like 40?

He was but like 15 years ago

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Mainly to me.. he pounds his shoulder into the chest of his defender multiple times and often extends his arm...but if you touch his hand it's a foul.

agreed. Celts — grant and smart in particular—did a good job in ECF timing dives on those. Which is correct response to refs letting him slam into defenders so regularly. He should get 10 offensive fouls most games by the rulebook

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Comfy-ish lead pretty much gone

 

[lars10]

Clear push off by Allen there.

 

[McBride11]

Die in a fire Grayson

 

[McBride11]

Clear push off by Allen there.

No replay is damning

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Not being allowed to play defense is frustrating.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Comfy-ish lead pretty much gone

If this game isn't down to the wire I will be surprised.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Legit foul there on Holliday
