I really like Giannis, but because of the way the NBA officiates for him, it makes me despise his game and him. It's almost unbearable watching him get call after call, when he's basically a bull in a China closet.
Yeah...it's what I don't love about his game.. he's great in transition, but once you get into a half court set his moves become a lot more limited. He still gets to the hoop a lot, but I think he's regularly out of control and if you defend him well you can force quite a few offensive fouls.

The ballsy call would be Middleton with the body before the elbow. It wouldn't be wrong.

Giannis isn’t in the game for a portion of this run from Miami. He’s barely under 30 min played. He’s not going to get close to 40 min in a critical playoff game. What the heck are they doing?

Middleton hops into him. Therefore 2 points and the ball for the Bucks. This league sucks sometimes.

He was in foul trouble early, so he missed a lot of minutes in the 1st half.

So Milwaukee gets the refs to review a foul that wasn't even called.. and an offensive foul gets turned into a flagrant 1 going the bucks way. I just don't think that should be a flagrant... the defender essentially put his face into that space and didn't let him clear his space... I dunno.

Are you FUCKING kidding me? Giannis just threw KO to the ground, pushed another guy, neither are called, and it leads to 2 more for the Bucks. FUCK YOU!!!

At least IF the Celts get into a series with Miami there's no player on either team that gets these BS hero calls.

Get Kelly O back in there. I need a better rooting interest (although not facing the Deer should be enough)

Likable team*, really likable coach, obviously Riley is a demon but nobody’s perfect. I’m sure I’d rile up some hate for them real quick but I’ve lost the residual Big Three hatred at this point.

*I know Butler is an asshole but dude is a baller, can’t hate too much.

Miami is really stout and focused. What’s the argument that they are a better matchup for the C’s than the Bucks? Just the Giannis factor against our 5’s? Miami was one of our bubble losses.
