Throwback Brook Lopez game. Perfect example of a dinosaur that made the transition to a modern pace&space league. From best post scorer in the league to one of the best 3&D big in the league. But when he is needed he still can take over on offense. Has been the Bucks best player in the series.

Bucks in trouble. Jimmy Butler had a game for the ages. Franchise record 56 pts. About to put the Bucks in a 3-1 hole. 119-114.

I don't know why Bud didn't play Crowder on Butler. Why did they trade for him if he's not going to use him? Jrue Holiday can't guard Butler and be expected to score big numbers. Jrue didn't have a good game. Butler got whatever he wanted even against one of the best defenders in the league. Crowder didn't get off the bench. That's puzzling to me. Portis didn't play much either.

Tried that in the first three games and it didn´t work. Butler has been unstoppable. It´s not like he is getting easy looks (if we ignore the foul baiting...FTs). Midrange pull ups, post ups and contested drives. On paper exactly the kind of shots a defense wants to give up.

Don´t have to like him but LBJ is still making the difference when it matters most.

What a shame the Memphis dynasty is already over..lol.

Lebron is going to turn 39 at the end of this year. Absolutely insane

I‘m still not completely sold on the Lakers - Memphis should beat them at home in game 5 and then we’re in for a pretty exciting back game 6 back in LA.

I agree to a certain extent. But it was bad coaching from Bud IMO. He never called a timeout to stop their runs, he didn't trap or double him to take the ball out of his hands. He basically gifted the game to Jimmy Buckets. Horrible coaching...

I know this is obvious, but it just really sucks that Luka is not in the playoffs. What Butler did last night is amazing, but Luka has done similar things where he just goes all world. It is a shame we were robbed of that this year.
It must be hard for Luka to watch. Even harder seeing the rebuilt Knicks looking great so far. They look exciting and fresh. Same thing with the Lakers. They got a ton of heat on how bad their roster was only to see them add a lot of pieces and now look like a real threat. Heck, they even have Bamba on a no guaranteed deal next year who they aren't even playing. I would have liked a free look at him too. Saw the Bucks gave no playing time to Jae Crowder last night and I don't believe Goran has played as well. Throw in Ingles not being a huge factor and a lot of those moves feel like Mavs level moves.

Trae Young makes sure there will be a game 6 at Atl. Scored 20 in the 4th for 38 pts with Murray out. 119-117. Boston took their foot off the gas and that's what happens. Philly awaits.

Minnesota is gone through the games we’re very close and the Clippers are listing badly.
