Pacers/Bucks feels like the ultimate Bobby Portis Litmus Test series. BP struggled vs Pacers this year (10 ppg, 49% TS) but has to pick up major slack with Giannis out AND hold up when Pacers hunt him on D. The upside: BP averaged 20.8ppg/10.1RPG in 9 games Giannis missed. – 9:36 PM

The (prickly) Doc Rivers discussion revisited…
* His playoff series winning percentage (.485; 17-18) is 2nd worst among 8 coaches w/ a title (Carlisle’s .458, at 11-13, is worst)
* Bucks went 17-19 with Doc (17th in net rating)
* Pacers up next 👀

Indy went 4-1 vs MIL this season, but all before Doc Rivers became head coach:
Rivers: “Indiana has had our number all year, so perfect opponent…. They’ve played great against us. They have great confidence against us. We’ll have great focus because we’re going to have to.” – 4:35 PM

Bucks trail Orlando by 25 and Doc Rivers just pulled his starters.
With Orlando, Indiana, Philadelphia and Miami all headed to victories, Bulls are almost certain to play Atlanta at 8:30 pm on Wednesday.
And then would face 76ers-Heat loser on Friday should they beat Hawks. – 3:11 PM

How nice would it be for Sixers fans to
-beat Jimmy and Miami in that play in and foist them onto Boston.
-knock Doc Rivers out of the playoffs
-face Knicks round 2 when Joel maybe a bit less rusty ?
A bulls win here keeps that in play – 3:05 PM

Sitting here at the Garden for Celtics-Wizards on this hallowed golf Sunday, I’m reminded yet again of the time when the Celts weren’t any good and Doc Rivers got thrown out of a game in the Meadowlands so he could go back to the dressing room and watch The Masters. ⛳️Classic Doc – 1:31 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: Bucks’ Bobby Portis on @Stadium: “When I got hints of it, I’m like, ain’t no way I’m getting traded for…excuse my French, that’s my guy, I love competing against him…but I shouldn’t get traded for Grant Williams. That don’t even sound right.” On Sixth Man, cult status, more: pic.twitter.com/ixfrYiYm4c -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 15, 2024
When presented with this idea in a question’s preamble as he walked out of shootaround in Los Angeles on UCLA’s campus on his way to the team bus a little more than a month ago though, Portis cut off the question. “How am I not Sixth Man (of the Year)?” Portis asked. -via The Athletic / April 12, 2024
This year, the favorite for the award appears to be Malik Monk, who put up a 26.9 percent usage rate in 72 games for the Sacramento Kings and averaged 15.7 points and 5.5 assists before he sprained the MCL in his right knee. “I’ve been averaging 18 (points) a game since the All-Star Break though,” Portis interjected as these points were explained. (He is now at 16.7 points per game since the break.) “So, how am I not Sixth Man?” -via The Athletic / April 12, 2024
