Come on Giannis. The FTs are becoming a little bit of a concern. 8 for 18 in the playoffs.
Giannis free throws is becoming a problem...
I know we are used to superstardom all the time, but Giannis looks a little off tonight.
They are giving the Pistons some confidence. Need to put the hammer down right now.
7-12 from the line, multiple missed layups are keeping the Pistons in it.

You usually don't start falling down until after you've been hit.
And now they call a third on Giannis? Is the league office trying to keep this close? On that?

I literally texted the same thing to Coach at about the exact same time
This is not good right now.
Thon can wind up and hack at will right now?
Dwayne Casey's whining about the reffing after Game 1 is paying off. The charges were OK, but some of the other calls are questionable and the Pistons are getting away with a LOT of contact.
This seems like a DJ Wilson type game. They need someone like that to fight back.
Giannis is literally bleeding from a scratch from his elbow to his wrist. No calls

-LaFleur?
-Lombardi?
-Gard?
The Pistons are hacking with impunity. Literally every shot or drive involves multiple hacks.
And then Middleton gets a call on that? That was not a foul. If that was, they Pistons have committed about 25 fouls this quarter.
NBA - Same as it ever was
This is a very poorly reffed game. Really out of control and no consistency
That shit half was 100% about energy on defense. Going through the motions is not going to win a ****ing playoff game...
Not able to watch the game, but have gametracker on.
Very strange stats given the score (Bucks numbers first):
FG% - 48.9 to 39.7
3 pt FG%: 54.5 to 39.1
FT%: 61.5 to 66.7
rebounds - 29 to 27
assists - 15 to 14
Fouls - 11 to 10
Doesn't give turnover stat and perhaps the Bucks did not shoot a lot of 3's. But, it looks like they should be leading.
Bucks are just very lethargic in the first half - had a good 1st Q but give Pisstins credit for hacking their way to a 1 point lead & getting away with it. They're not giving up that's for sure.
Bucks had 8 TO's in first half.
I'm imaging Coach Bud not very happy right now.
I’m about ready for an “Alright, enough ****ing around” 3rd Q...
Welp....Good start to the 3rd Q - Let's keep it going now!!
Yeah 216 on DirecTV
Middleton is just unable to contribute... rally’s go to die every time he does the “My turn” bullshit
I'm getting the Pistons announcers raving about how they are being physical with Giannis. It's a good tune up for when the Celtics and then hopefully the Raptors try to beat the shit out of him for an entire series.
Connaughton has been their second best player tonight. He's as good as Brogdon usually is.
Connaughton with 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks through 3 quarters.
19 point lead down to 11 and Giannis has 4 fouls. Danger time here.
They can't waste minutes on Mirotic right now. He's not ready.

He's really hurting them right now.
I think Giannis is playing poorly and you look at the box score and he's at 11-18 from the floor, 1-3 from 3, 3-5 from the line.
26 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks in 29 minutes.
I am spoiled.
