Jenkins was seen as the top available commodity in the NBA coaching landscape, and his player development pedigree, tenure as a culture-setter and someone who drives competitiveness made him the Bucks' top target.

ALERT: Florida woman drives her lifted truck over a Lamborghini she didn't see in a parking lot. “Thank you God for another day and another chance,” the man in the Lamborghini said. “Material things don't matter to me, my health is the main thing. Nothing stops us, there is much more to grow.”

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.

Dillon Brooks refers to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as “a little frail” while criticizing officials after Game 2: “This is the playoffs, a man's game. I used to watch this back when Michael Jordan was playing…when LeBron was younger, just physical basketball. I don't get why all the dropping, the falling and the flopping and flailing…and all this stuff is allowed when we get to the playoffs.”
