Eastern Conference Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors

[adambr2]

Unbelievable.

[adambr2]

Down 10 and Kawhi hasn't done jack.

 

Maybe we can sort of kill the illusion that this series is won and we're just playing out the fiddle.

I hope all this energy Toronto is using this half gasses them in the second half.

I keep hearing this, but I just don't believe it. These guys are professionals. If that were true, there's no way we get beat with an extra 10 mins in the game in double OT. To win, the Bucks need to protect the basketball, execute on offense, and defend the 3 on defense. Trying to will it to happen because they are less deep and more tired doesn't seem prudent.

[PinaMadness]

Poor free throw shooting and being outplayed on the offensive end. Raptors are not giving up easy shots. The Bucks are. The trade for Mirotic was such a disaster. Got a guy that gets abused on defense, can’t shoot, and took DJ Wilson out of the lineup.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for it too. Right now the Bucks look like the team that is dragging. Toronto has been moving the ball much better than us all series.

[PinaMadness]

The Bucks need to stay home on defense and make Toronto beat them from 2.

 

This was of course the way they played all year. I have no idea what is inspiring all of the help.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Down 10, not ideal, but within striking. Can disappear in minutes of game action. Stay within 10 into the 4th. Not really worried yet.

[OnTheBlack]

I'm trying to figure out who is more annoying to listen to/watch, Drake or Shaq.

Drake, by a lot.

Definitely Drake.

No, not too worried. This team needs to learn how to win tough games though. They're playing reckless, Giannis trying to take the ball from the top of the key and take the whole team on is not a good recipe. Bud needs to find ways to get him the ball in different spots.

Drake, by a lot.

 

 

Yeah, I guess it's really not that close. Shaq is pretty bad as well. And for that matter, so is Reggie's "pink slips." WTH did you did in the post-season Reg?

[adambr2]

Giannis is playing really stupid basketball.

 

Ok stupid is going too far, but 17 turnovers this series, and that was a bad foul.

[lcbj68c]

Tired of watching these games feeling, "If we can just cut it to X with X:XX to go, we'll be in it.

[PinaMadness]

Gimme a break with that garbage, Kawhi. I can't believe these announcers are buying this injury garbage.

[adambr2]

Probably should be worried.

[adambr2]

Mirotic and Bledsoe don't belong on this court.

[OnTheBlack]

Gimme a break with that garbage, Kawhi. I can't believe these announcers are buying this injury garbage.

 

 

This is a guy who milked a bruised thigh into a season ending injury.

[PinaMadness]

So many open three's for Toronto. Pathetic defense.

[PinaMadness]

The Raptors are running the Bucks offense better than the Bucks are.

[lcbj68c]

Who's the woman who keeps bouncing to her feet on the end of the Bucks bench with more energy than our own bench? Looks like a "staffer" of some kind.

[OnTheBlack]

Lot of ugly going on tonight, but when Giannis gets an angle, it's so pretty watching him get to the rim.

[adambr2]

Much better ball movement.

[OnTheBlack]

So many open three's for Toronto. Pathetic defense.

 

 

There's just no reason for Toronto to be playing harder. Unless the Bucks believed this series was over as well.

 

Just as I say that, a quick 5 points. Hill and KMid keeping us alive here.

[OnTheBlack]

Much better ball movement.

 

 

 

The bigger problem is the perimeter guys leaving the shooters. Let the Giannis and Lopez protect the rim, stay on you guy.
