Refs gave the game to the Clippers with a bullshit Porzingis ejection
I only got to see snippets of the game. Which tech came first? The escalation or the yelling at the refs?

So many boring replays, and it seems like there are just as much fuck ups. What's the point?

Bucks looking like garbage. Apparently their trash effort against Memphis wasn't a fluke. NBA Least.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

"Yelling" was first.

Got it. Then I don't think it was a bad call to toss him (since that is how it is called in today's game). You don't escalate a confrontation when you already have a tech and it is your playoff debut. Stupid on his part.

Morris got his desired effect.

Yep. You don't let people play you like that if you want to be a winner. You need to know when to react that way, and when to show it in your game instead.

I agree. Maybe Porzingas will learn from it.

Hope so. Otherwise he won't be any better than Josh Jackson. ;)

Indiana just couldn't sustain much once they lost Oladipo. Hope he isn't out long. Without him and Sabonis, they probably aren't even a playoff team in the east.

Nobody else see this game or have thoughts? Milwaukee had championship aspirations, last I checked.

I didn't bother recording it. I don't enjoy watching them.

I watched it, they need to get some things worked out. Luckily they’re playing the Magic, so they can afford to use the first round to get going. If they play like this in round 2, Miami will take care of business. I guess that’s the risk you take at not taking the bubble seeding games seriously.

Outside of LeBron and AD, the lakers supporting cast is absolute dog shit.

I enjoyed watching them go down. Wouldn’t it be something to see them knocked out in the first round? It’s Dame time.

The Lakers need to stop dicking around and play AD at the 5 for 30 minutes a game.

I don't know if the Lakers will lose the series but they're very thin in terms of talent. That's the type of roster that can carry you in the regular season but gets exposed in a playoff series.

Bucks won't lose to the Magic but it also shows how good a coach Steve Clifford is.

I also watched most of it, but I don't want to read too much into the first game of a series. Although Bud isn't exactly known for his playoff adjustments...

For sure, it was not smart on his part (I believe he said he forgot that he already had one tech). But I don't think he should have gotten the first one, and the second one was more "standard procedure" than a result of something egregious on his part, so combined it just sucks.

My ideal scenario this year would be a Blazers/Raptors finals, with Dame winning Finals MVP.
