Series Thread: 1st Round: 4) Indiana Pacers vs 5) Milwaukee Bucks

[Shanemansj13]

Was there any moment during this game where you legitimately thought the Bucks were going to win?

I'd say doubtful...

I didn’t watch the entire game so I have no clue but if my team is up two possessions at the end of game in a game they dominated as you say…I would be a bit worried.

I picked them to win this series with a healthy Dame or not bc whether you think so or not…he is a huge difference maker. He just had a blood clot…his conditioning is probably shit.

Then you would think he'd know better than to talk shit from the bench...

The NBA created the Greg Anthony rule in the early 90's for a reason (even in certain instances they've gone to far with it)... Of course you probably know nothing about it.

@logic still doesn't want to acknowledge that the brawl in his home city practically created the entire Miami Heat franchise...

The league didn't want physical play after that.. It's also a big reason your franchise has been largely irrelevant since.

Soft, glamor and star-driven teams were simply easier to police and were more profitable at the turn of the mid-2000's.

I'm 37 years old now I won't get over it, so don't bother trying. We had our best chance (to this point) to win a title when I was a teenager and our notoriously corrupt commissioner at the time abused his power and decided he didn't want it.

It's just a game man

You are free to obsess over the distant past if you want.

But just don’t do it here. Nobody wants to hear it.

It was a terrible situation that was poorly handled by an understaffed security team.

But for Christ’s sake Ron Artest got off easy. He ran in to the stands and attacked a man who was just there watching the game And did nothing to provoke it. He should have gone to jail. He was not a victim.

And if that was the catalyst that got the league to get rid of the overly physical non-basketball plays?

Then good. The league is much better and stronger for it.
