    Says who?

    Donovan Mitchell was also a 13th pick. How likely is a player like him found at pick 23? Just because you say there isn’t much difference doesn’t make it true

    the higher the pick, the higher your chances of getting a good player

    I don’t get this challenge. Lopez got ball initially but his follow through is in Butlers face.

    Is once the ball is blocked then it’s no longer a foul?

    No Miller.

    Bucks dont miss Giannis and his bricks at this point of the game.

    That's what got them in this hole to begin with.

    Reggie Miller wrong again.

    Budenholzer’s letting his emotions get the best of him.

    2 mins left in elimination game.

    Might as well gamble and go for it hoping to get lucky.

    my point exactly if youre a good GM you can find a superstar or great role players in 2nd round and get them to contribute right away in playoffs...

    On replay, could have been a flagrant on Lopez for hit on the face.

    That would have been hilarious if they called it.

    Challenge hoping to get the foul rescinded.

    Instead it stays and they get a flagrant foul added to it lol.

    Not looking good for the Bucks. If they flame out again in the playoffs, the GM, coach bud as well as Giannis will deservedly receive the blame and criticisms.

    Bud & Giannis have both proven to be GREAT in the regular season, but their game is lacking for the postseason. Giannis is still young and filled with potential to be even better. There is probably no player with more value in the league. Coach bud on the other hand has shown little change from his days in atlanta and will not be surprise if he is gone.

    Ownership and GM have a ton to answer for also. If the Bucks lose Giannis after this season or next, their fans can only blame management for not resigning Brogdon. Choosing to extend bledsoe was a huge mistake, seeing as he had been ineffective the previous playoffs.

    Lol, what? Your point is that there wasn’t much difference between the 13th and 23rd pick. That is categorically false.

    Superstar in the 2nd round? The chances of that are extremely low. Stop...

    the chances of getting a great role player in the 2nd round is also very low

    the Rockets either have trash 1st rounders, no 1st rounders, or some useless pick near the end of the 2nd round where you’re left hyping up the likes of Zhou Qi and Hartenstein

    Still thinks Giannis pulls a KD
    He is a front runner.

    Can this trash ass game end already? NBA knows what we’re all here for. Finish this crap so we can get to the real game.

    Reggi Miller continues to white knight his fallen hero Giannis saying he could have been a difference maker in this kind of game.

    Yeah sure. The game would have been decided by 3rd quarter with Miami up 20 right now lol.

    Guess the Heat missed the memo about the NBA being rigged. :D
    Keep reading the last few days here the NBA is rigged. I guess it's only rigged against the Rockets?

    Why wouldn't the NBA want more games?! More games, more money! Why would they want the #1 overall seed (NBA, not Eastern Conference), the MVP, the DPOY, the co-COY going home early?!

    Or...or...or the Heat just took care of their business (7-1), less concerned about who's reffing.

    Reggi is butt hurt that he wont get to see anymore GIannis.

    Even the Refs could not save Bucks.

    Had Giannis the Fake MVP played in Game 4, This series would have been a sweep.
