It would have been interesting to have a healthy Exum attacking the rim. Maybe Giannis gets in foul trouble quicker.

Between Splash Mountain who has elite defensive numbers at the rim and Giannis I don't see how he manages to get clean looks at the rim unless he's really turned a corner tbh.
 
The Giannis/Ingles leg grab was obvious to me but I am biased towards the Aussie players more when I watch games. You could even see Ingles complaining to the ref right in front of him as it was happening lol.

It’s a pretty cheap play and didn’t think it was super necessary... kind of a dick move... joe shoulda dropped the boot on him.
 
Malcolm Brogdon was super impressive tonight. Bledsoe was awful. I definitely moved Malcolm up a couple rings on my FA wishlist. I think he could handle move responsibility and would be a good fit on and off the court. They gonna have to write some checks... wonder what they budget is on Malcolm.

Joe would've been able to contest the rebound had Giannis not grabbed him, he had turned around to try and go to the basket, realised something was on his leg, looked down and saw Giannis had his leg in a hold and then started yelling at him and then the ref.

I guess... I think he should have made a scene and gone at Giannis... if he doesn’t stop trying to break free he could have easily injured himself... he had him wrapped up with both arms and his body was on the foot... I thought it could have been reviewed and a tech assessed.

Agreed, I think something like that is worth getting a tech over.

Malcom is in my top tier of realistic FAs. The dude has great Stockton-esque moves to the rim: just a quick shoulder fake + hesitation and... boom. No wasted motion. That's right, I said it.
 
For me, this was the most entertaining game of the year! I had so much fun to watching Rudy vs Giannis. I want to know what Giannis' EFG% was when guarded by Rudy, because it felt to me like Rudy won that matchup. Also, I thought the coaching was great on both sides, with a lot of adjustments and counter-adjustments (e.g., Rudy on Giannis, Brogdan targeting Mitchell, Korver looking for mid-range, etc.).

I kept thinking about how a playoff series between these teams/coaches would be amazing to watch. Specifically, I wonder if Rudy's defense or Giannis' offense would benefit the most from consistent match-ups.
