Jimmy Buckets shocks the NBA world with a record setting win over the Bucks scoring 56pts (4th most in NBA Playoff History) for the final 119-114 win.
A day ago Shaq and/or Chuck predicted the Heat would not advance with Giannis coming back tonight ... their run was over!
Giannis (26pts) and Lopez (36pts) still weren't enough to confirm the prediction and the Heat need just 1 win of the 3 remaining to displace the #1 seeded Bucks from the playoffs in Round #1 ... Back to the drawing board for them ... Happy fishing!

Bucks go down. But, they are not out. Giannis will get all the calls at home.....

I'm banking on the Heat getting 1-3 remaining.
Nobody on the Bucks can guard Butler (Holiday is too small, Middleton too small, Lopez has Bam, Allen too small, Ingles too slow) That leaves Connaughton, Portis or Giannis to take him on and slow him down.
Strus was a ghost out there tonight ... won't happen 3 more times.

Lakers leading Grizz 29-23 after Q1 ... beating Grizz defensively 22-15 in Q2 so far ... At the half LAL lost their dominance 29-25 as the Grizz put a nice rally together ... maybe a sign of a tiring LA defense and a hip-injured/sore Anthony Davis who hasn't been able to contribute more than 4pts.
Early Q2, Roddy was the only Grizzlie up on hind legs threatening to rip the Lakers apart. He got help from Bane & Jackson who decided to wake up for the party. If Ja & Tillman can come alive in the 2nd half, Memphis may be able to avoid going back to Memphis down 3-1.
Q3 closes on a facial of Hachimura by Morant winning the Qtr 31-27 and a 2pt lead (was up to 5pts) ... Bane, Ja, Jackson, Tillman all in double figures with 9 each for Roddy and Brooks. Bane has 24!
Reaves & Russell each have 4 PFs putting Schroder back in charge of ball handling. Reaves, Vanderbilt & James have provided most of the scoring for L.A.

In final minute or two, Morant gets a breakaway for a layup with two Lakers in hot pursuit, the 1st misses Ja but Reaves (who the F is he) going as fast as he can runs into Ja under the rim with his body sending Ja to the floor ... no whistle in LA! Ja can't get a call over Austin Reaves ... Really! WTF is Austin Reaves?
Hachimura short rims a J in the paint and Tillman rebounds & outlets to Ja for the fastbreak layup and a 2pt lead 104-102. Had Ja been awarded FTs on his previous attempted layup Lebron might not have been able to tie the game and send it to OT at 104.
LA up +3 with 1:53 to go and the ball ... they get all the luck in L.A. ... Odd!

5 vs 8. Refs gave LA so many chances.

Shocked to see GS win on the road ... pressure on an untested Kings team down 3-2 on the road now in a must win game ... advantage Warriors.
I just sent this message to Cole/Pud but if anyone's up after watching the Bucks/Heat game, here are my thoughts:
Anyone see Bucks/Heat ?
Butler tried a dagger three to win it in regulation but missed just like vs C's last season. If that weren't enough, after tying it up some how he had another chance in OT and missed another dagger three!
Heat got lucky cuz they were exhausted (front rimming and airballs down the stretch) and Bam, Love & Lowry all fouled out.
It will be fun watching Knicks vs Heat and if our core can glean anything about having heart & unbridled effort we might not become the next top seed to fall in Round 1. And, moving on now comes with HCA thru-out the playoffs ... that alone should light a fire under their butts!

Oh yeah!
Lakers lost to Memphis 116-99 so like the C's, failed to close out a determined opponent and have two to win one up 3-2 now. Difference between us and L.A. is they are going home to play game 6 and we are going to Atlanta.
