Holy hell, Trae Young not playing tonight. It's going to be so Bucksy watching us blow this opportunity.

Bucks may have to hire Ben Simmons or Chris Dudley to work with Giannis on his free throws. He airballed, what, two, three in the first half?

2 out of 3. I can't even say it's the fans in his head because he does this at home too lol. He's just a horrendous horrendous shooter who also happens to have horrible and inconsistent shooting mechanics.

Don't think there's anything left to see here. Turning this one off and unwinding.

Sorry man- that just sucks. It's a star injury epidemic this year apparently.

Yep, just praying Giannis is okay for next season at this point but sucks that it probably cost us the best chance we'll ever have at a title.

Just saw the Giannis injury; really unfortunate. My quick take: capsule damage, bone bruise (tibia impacting femur) appear to be the baseline here. Looked like 30 degrees hyperextension which is... a lot. I think I see some valgus here (joint bent inward) as well. Very likely that ACL and/or PCL were stressed; if I had to guess the ACL took the worst of it due to the nature of the injury but could just as easily be the PCL. Valgus movement is less severe, but strains to MCL and/or LCL also possible.
Would be shocked if he returns at any point in this playoff run. ACL/PCL readout will determine impact on next season, with multiple ligament involvement possible.

I just got an ad that the Suns in 4 guy is on Cameo, and that's fantastic.

Safe to say the Hawks got the better of the Rondo/LouWill trade.

Six big trades we want to see at this year's draft
Beal to the Warriors? Simmons to the Cavs? Here's what our experts want to see.
Man some of these would be really interesting and pretty fun. These 2 in particular seem to make a lot of sense for all parties.
Oklahoma City Thunder receive: No. 4 pick, Aron Baynes
Toronto Raptors receive: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
_________
Golden State Warriors receive: Bradley Beal, Avery Bradley
Houston Rockets receive: James Wiseman, No. 7 pick in 2021, No. 14 pick in 2021
Washington Wizards receive: No. 2 pick in 2021, Andrew Wiggins

I don't think those trades make sense for OKC or Houston personally. The Rockets got the #2 pick in a 4 or 5 player draft; there's no sense in trading it for two picks of significantly less value and a rookie that mostly struggled (and I'd personally argue wasn't a great prospect to begin with but that's a whole other thing).
And I don't see why OKC should be trying to get rid of a 22 year old stud who is literally the only good player they have.
