    Not sure the Bucks can get the next one but at least they gave themselves the opportunity.

    He has been acting for years. He can flop anywhere.

    Just saw that the bucks are the first team in NBA history to win a game without their two top scorers from the regular season.

    OT: Euroleague Playoffs

    Barcelona was fouled on a 3 with .4 seconds remaining on the road against Olympiacos and hit 2 FT’s to win the game and take a 2-1 series lead.

    Notable Barcelona players: Jabari Parker, Ricky Rubio, and Willy Hernangomez

    Don't forget the Czech all-stars, Jan Vesely and Tomas Satoransky. Meanwhile Filip Petrusev (what NBA team did he just leave?) starred for Olympiakos.

    Yes, I notice that your GOAT Kostas Papanikolaou was unable to suit up which most certainly would have been like a difference in that game for Olympiakos.

    Looks like Petrusev was traded from the 76ers which drafted him, to the Clippers, and then sent to Sacramento which eventually waived him later that month.

    Looks like he was never given a chance in the NBA.

    @MickZagger Probably knows that Petrusev went to Gonzaga

    The Bucks roster is not without talent. And they didn't just win, they PUMMELED the Pacers in that game.

    Boston is supposed to cream Miami. 14 point favorites. I guess the casinos don't like Bam taking Melo shots?

    Adebayo switching from paint defender, and lob threat... to freestyle wing striker, has not worked well for the Heat.

    the Heat aren't even doing simple box outs. They are done. The good news is, it's simple to rent fun fishing charters in South Beach.
