Eastern Conference Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors

[adambr2]

Is it normal to enjoy browsing through pages of dismayed Raptor board game threads as much as I do, or should I seek help?

 

Perfectly normal. Please share links.

I'd like to see Wilson put back in the rotation. He can provide some valuable defense.

Charles Barkley just pledged 45k to malcolm brogdons clean water initiative in africa. They shook hands on it. Pretty cool.

Who's minutes is he taking? Best player in game 1 or game 2 other than Giannis? How can you pissibly watch these two games and come away with DJ Wilson needs to be on the floor?

I'm going to be in MKE May 29-June 3. Does anybody know what the Finals ticket process entails? Secondary market only? TIA.

I think the only way Toronto can win a game is if they have a 10+point lead entering the fourth and then hope the Bucks miss every shot. The Bucks are too fresh and too deep.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I think Toronto is going to win one at home. I think.... But man, their body language and expressions tonight sure looked like a team that is already defeated.

Yes, the depth of this team is nuts. They have reserves who would start on a lot of other teams.

Hill

Brogdon

Snell

Giannis

Ersan

 

Bledsoe

Connaughton

Middleton

Mirotic

Lopez

 

Two squads that would comfortably make the playoffs in the East with serviceable minimum contract bench players.

Add DJ and Sterling and it starts to get crazy.

[adambr2]

Scary thing for the Raptors is that we're way overdue for a game that we're just lights out from 3. We've actually been shooting pretty poorly from 3 since Game 3 of the Celtics' series.

Odds are excellent we will get one of those in the next two games. It will be very tough for Toronto to win this series obviously.

[GAME05]

I'll be fine if they stored up some of those great 3-point shooting nights for the Warriors. Not that we're out of the woods against Toronto. I mean, you're supposed to win at home. But Toronto looks exhausted, though running most of your starters 40+ minutes will do that to you.

Is Kidd the head coach?

[adambr2]

Bledsoe is one of the few guys that has not remotely impressed in the postseason.

[adambr2]

Middleton won't get a more wide open 3 in his life. Gotta knock that down.

[PinaMadness]

I'm predicting this will be the only game the Raptors win this series. Game 2 went exactly as I thought it would after a Game 1 flat performance and after digesting a road playoff loss the Bucks will feel more comfortable in a hostile environment and win Game 4 and finally finish them off at home.

[CheezWizHed]

I'm guessing this is going to go more like Game 1. Raptor lead with a 2nd half fade.

[PinaMadness]

Way too many turnovers. You gotta be more careful than that.

[adambr2]

I am so sick of playoff Eric Bledsoe. That inbound pass was flabbergasting.

[adambr2]

Bledsoe with another awful pass.

[adambr2]

Pat Connaughton is a guy I would absolutely despise if I was a fan of the other team.

[PinaMadness]

Is it just me or has Leonard made every free throw he's shot this series?

 

Before now of course.

[adambr2]

Game is well within reach, but Giannis needs to step up, and the entire team needs to take better care of the ball.

Yep, it's concerning. I think a big part of the problem is his shooting, which is so bad that it undermines other aspects of his game. Hurts the team too, because they sag off him so much. I think Hill is a better fit with Giannis and all these slow starts followed by inevitable comebacks are due in no small part to that.
