Streak over, but I'll take the victory!

[sarcasm]If the Bucks win the Finals, does Larry Sanders still get a ring?[/sarcasm]

Someone other than Giannis or Middleton needs to show up for work one of these games.

[homer]

New streak of not scoring 100?

[wildcat83]

Missing the floor stretching of Korver against a team who have made an effort to protect the rim.

 

Miami also just real hot from deep. Bucks hanging around though.

Rough night.

I think the line on beating the Bucks is to get physical with them. It is those teams that give them the most grief.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If the Bucks don't stomp them in two weeks I'll actually be a little concerned about drawing that matchup.

[brooks_quichenick]

Not too concerned about this one. 2nd east coast back to back in the past week with a brief stop back home in between, they looked a little worn out.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

7/34 from three while the opponent hits 50% is going to be hard to win. But I'll still be a little worried if they go 0-3 against the same good team with two losses at home. For now I'll just chalk it up to early season flukes and a back to back on the road.

[adambr2]

I still think we beat Miami in a 7 game playoff series, but being 0-2 against them is concerning.

 

I can't even imagine the disappointment and fallout if this team got bounced in the conference semis.

[homer]

The blueprint to beating the Bucks is to shoot 49% from three and hold them to 20% from three. Surprised no one has tried this before last night.

 

If Miami can do that for four games more power to 'em.

To be fair, they also beat us when they shot 36% from 3 and we shot 31.5%.

 

I'm not saying they have our number...but if we lose to them again in 2 weeks and face them in the semis...I think having lost to them 0-3 in the regular season would definitely be hanging there in the back of our head.

[homer]

That was 2nd game of the year. The Bucks were 2 - 2 at one point this year.

[adambr2]

I understand all this. I'd still like to see us take the March 16th game and not have this in their heads in the playoffs.

[homer]

I think the Bucks have enough veterans that nothing would hang in their heads to the point where it would impact them in a seven game series.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

When you lose ~10 games all year and 3 are to the same team it's reasonable to think there is an unfavorable matchup. For now I think it's more coincidence than anything but yes, I will be concerned if they lose a 3rd, two at home to a team that is already pretty good anyway.

[homer]

I suppose if you lost the same way every time. We'll see what happens in game three but games 1, 2 were nothing like each other.

[adambr2]

Bledsoe is just awful in big games. He plays so tight.

[owbc]

Ugly first quarter...

[adambr2]

Nobody besides Brook can shoot tonight. Middleton can't hit water from the middle of the ocean.

[adambr2]

100% clean steal by Bledsoe and he gets whistled because it's LeBron. This is why people hate the NBA.

That was painfully all ball. Lebron spent the last 5 game minutes complaining and I think he finally got the call he was barking for.

 

That being said, Giannis has gotten a few calls as well.

[adambr2]

What a great game to simply not even show up.

 

If the Lakers could hit a 3 to save their own life we'd be getting absolutely slaughtered.

[stalton]

Man are the refs really giving it to LA this 3rd quarter
