Giannis coming back in completely changes the entire game. Those 2 first-quarter charges were the biggest contributor to falling behind by 11 (along with Jrue Holiday making Bledsoe look good on offense).
@Tschmack posted:For the life of me I’ll never understand how a superstar like Giannis gets so few calls. He gets hacked or shoved every time he makes it to the rack. Complete bullshit.
The lack of calls on the drives happen to a lot of dominant inside players (Shaq was probably fouled 20 times a game). It's the calls like the Griffin charge today that are infuriating.
A couple of days ago, son and I were talking about how good Giannis would be in the post and how little the Bucks play him there. That surge was caused by the disruption Giannis caused in the paint
This game might come down to whether Giannis can make it through this half without another foul.
Should have been a foul on Giannis? It's not a jump shooter.
The announcing crew asking for a Giannis foul on that. Screw that. Every Giannis drive ends with a play like that.
Jrue Holiday picks up his 3rd. Almost looked like a directive from the home office to call that off the ball.
PJ Tucker is Thanasis with a corner jumper and even better defense.
Giannis gets called for ANOTHER charge? What complete bullshit.

Successful challenge. Now we get to see some more FTs.
Now get Giannis out at the end of the half here.
Durant's whining pays off.
With both Harden and Irving out, the Nets have to get rough to stay in this. Blake Griffin with a little extra shot to the ribs on that Tucker screen.
Griffin is a bitch. Nice cheap shot you punkass.
Why Giannis? A 3 pointer up 8 on the break with 20 seconds left on the shot clock?
Holliday should be the only player to be allowed to bring the ball over the half court line. Too much rebound, drive the length of the court, shoot going on.
Bryant getting real minutes. A surprising development.
Giannis takes another 3. Enough. Unless it's at the end of the shot clock, there should never be another Giannis 3 this series.
That's on Giannis? How? Giannis can't get a call against Claxton? WTF?
Good to see Connaughton back.
So, the officials have now decided they will not allow Durant to be guarded by anybody. Giannis would have 20 calls a game if they called that consistently.
A really bad end of the quarter there, but Middleton bails them out with a circus 3 to get up by 12 after Durant decided to take over.
That Middleton 3 at the end of the 3rd is fucking gigantic
Down to 10.
Every Giannis FT is a clear violation. Why continue with a routine that isn't even working that will bring a violation into play every time?
Giannis FTs may be the thing that keeps the Nets in this.
Bucks getting sloppy here. Nets within 13 just when Nash was going to give up. Holiday and Middleton both with misses off of isolations.
Why???????
