Would have been more competitive to say the least.

These games now won't be competitive at all
Not sure it matters much to anyone, except Pistons fans and even then whoopdedoo you win a game

I disagree with this 100%

You don't think fans of the game want to see competitive games?

You think we want to see 30 point blowouts?

So yes it does matter.

99.9% of NBA fans would like to see competitive games when they don't have a rooting interest in the game.

I get it but there are plenty of other series to watch if one is crappy

A healthy Blake gets them a game. Dude was IMO a top 3/4 player in the East this year. Only Giannis, Kawhi, and maybe Embiid were better

But yea this is going to be a pretty ugly sweep IMO

A healthy Blake gives them a CHANCE to win a game.

Still not sure they actually do.

That said, always a chance Milwaukee snoozes one away in Detroit. When the wins come as easy as Sunday's did, it isn't hard to completely overlook the opponent on a road game and lose it.

I get what you're saying but if I'm watching I'd prefer a close game.
Absolutely, me too. I'm not saying it's a good thing Griffin is hurt yet again, but it's a pretty minor thing in the end

Yep

I give Embiid shit and I know Blake is not 100 percent but Jesus Christ dude get your ass out there and at least try

The team gave up significant resources for you.

They pissed away a chance to face a team they could matchup with.

But Blair Griffin probably would've sat that out too.

Trade him

Sorry man.

That could be tough to do. Blake not exactly a good contract.

I will give you John Wall and a top 5 protected first.

Deal?

In the overall scheme of the playoffs this is correct.

Plus now I can mention Griffin again when players say they don't like guys (like Love) who cannot stay on the court.

“Andre Drummond wasn't so lucky. The big man was ejected in the third quarter after chucking the Greek Freak while he was in mid-air. Drummond finished an atrocious minus-45 in 26 minutes. “

Dwayne Casey should be thrown in prison for continuing to start Bruce Brown
Imagine what happens when he comes off bench.
