I hope Lillard didn't just rupture his Achilles...
Dame still in the locker room.
It was a no contact injury.
He had to be carried off of the court and couldn't put pressure on his left foot.
When he was on the ground he was grabbing at the back of his ankle where the Achilles is.
Dame out the rest of the game. They're not classifying the injury except lower left ankle injury.
Chris Haynes Bucks fear it's a torn Achilles. Dame gonna miss a chuck of next season if it is.
For comparison Kobe tore his on April 12th then returned on December 8th.
Poor dame. Another guard who's also prone to injury. :ohwell:
Torn Achilles for a player Lillaird's size that needs quickness badly to score and is 34 years old would be catastrophic. Fair chance he never plays like a star again. After he tore Achilles Kobe was done and he was 6'7.
Sad for him. At least they won the cup last year, if that's something considered worthy over winning nothing at all.
Pacers might be the team to beat out East. The analysts think the Bucks have a chance now so that means they don't.

Problem with Indy is they don't have THAT guy. They have a bunch of solid dudes but no real star to rely on every game. Teams like that usually do not win a title unless you're elite on both ends like the Celtics, and Tatum at least can play like a superstar in some big spots. Hali is not reliable. I think they can beat the Celtics or the Cavs but I wouldn't count on it. They're still prone to doing dumb shit in crunch time.

He should just retire. He was always immensely overrated anyways.

I agree. The last team to win a championship with that type of team setup was 2004 Pistons. You could maybe argue the 2014 Spurs. Kawhi was super young and unproven still. He was still 22 years old and only had averaged not even 13PPG for the regular season. Only 14 PPG in the Finals.

Thing is those teams were elite defensively. Not the case with Indiana. I think they can still win if they have better 3PT luck but I'd expect the teams with better closers and a better defense to come out on top.
this series signals lopez is done. bucks need a big that defends weak side , rebounds like a crazy man and has a jump hook.
Kevin porter will take over , but still really need a SG that defends and has a three point shot... there is still hope for giannis and a second ring.
Game 5, 6:00 EST, NBA TV
Hoping the Bucks can extend the series a little bit so the Cavs can have a couple more days of rest. Giannis is going to have to put up 40-50 points when his only help is Trent Jr. and Porter Jr.
Bucks start 13-0. They havent given up yet.
