  1. He's not going to be that guy until he has a better mid range shot. Because if the paint is sealed off and he doesn't have Middleton or George Hill bailing him out, he can't take over a game the way KD can. Giannis is the MVP but if you are making a team to win one game who do you pick first? I don't think anybody picks Giannis. I don't think it's unpopular at all. I think most people see it that way. But the other valid point is that he may not have to be that guy on this team because he's surrounded with shooters.
  2. I'll Paul Pierce this one again. I would consider the Raptors winning this series as impressive as the year the Cavs beat the Warriors. Maybe even more impressive, given that there is no Kevin Love and no Kyrie on that roster. That team is badly out-manned, and short of Leonard putting forth an absolutely epic series that people are still talking about 20 years from now, there is no way that team has the legs to win 3/4. The Bucks will keep coming with fresh rotations and launching threes and the fatigue is going to be a huge factor. This thing is one Middleton 3 from a sweep.
  3. I'll forever believe that the 01 Bucks would've fared much better against LAL than Philadelphia. That team was streaky for sure, but when those three guys were on they were super hard to stop.
  4. I yelled at the TV when they came out for the 2nd OT with Bledsoe in the lineup.
  5. Because not going to the Finals for 50 years means diddly squat for the team playing right now. If people are confident it's because this team has been dominant all year. It is in actuality a 65-win team that rested Giannis because it could. There was a year, I want to say 2012? Where the Packers played the Vikings in Week 17, it went down to the wire and the Packers lost in Minnesota by a FG. The Vikings needed that win to make the playoffs. They then played each other in the Wild Card and the Packers squashed them; it was just a good team fighting for its life and basically everybody knew they wouldn't be able to do it twice. That's what last night was. The Raptors are bruised and bloodied and just used their last bit of energy to squeak out a double OT win on a terrible shooting night for the Bucks (though they didn't shoot great either). I don't know what the Vegas odds are but I feel pretty good about the Bucks handling them pretty easily Tuesday and then coming back to Milwaukee for the formality. I kind of agree about the "Bucks worst night" thing, but I feel the same about people drawing really broad conclusions every time they drop a game. I mean, did people really think the Bucks would go 4-0, 4-0, 4-0 to the Finals? If last night is how they're going to lose, I'll take it.
  6. I think people are making way too much of that shot because it missed and there were guys near him but they didn't really contest it. He's made those shots all year. Two of the guys were behind him and no factor at all in what happened. He had a pretty nice look and went for the win. I had no problem with him taking it. Just didn't go in.
  7. The expectation will be losing to GS. But I'll still take a lot of satisfaction in making Toronto go away.
  8. If you're actually worried the Bucks are gonna drop this series, losing 3 of the next 4 against a team with no legs and an injured superstar, that just needed double OT at home to beat us on our worst night with Giannis shooting 5/1000 then nothing I say will comfort you. This series isn't in jeopardy. They just took an uppercut from a very good but inferior team. They don't have three more of those in them. The Bucks are fine.
  9. No we shouldn't. Game 1 was very typical of how the Bucks have won all year, outlasting teams in the late third and fourth. This is a 58 win team they're not playing the Pistons. The wins are wins.
  10. They'll get blown out in game 4 and fold in game 5. It's more fun to win it in Milwaukee anyway.
  11. Annoying game. But how many of those does Toronto have in them? I'm guessing one.
  12. Embarrassing last period. Middleton needs to make a play in OT, the game shouldn't be decided by Brook Lopez driving the lane.
  13. Giannis has been awful offensively but 25 boards count for something
  14. This hasn't been pretty but still feel like they're gonna pull it out.
  15. Really weird to me that they allow these. I can promise the coaches hate it. I get it's gotta be part of the TV contract, but weird.
  16. Things I never thought I'd say: Giannis is killing us. Getting stuffed at the rim and then Leonard hits a three. Five-point swing.
  17. Still is a great option. Just should not be pitching in games we trail by 3 that seem like more. What difference does it make? He should be getting guys out. 7 ER 3 HR is bigger than "it's low leverage." The guy flat out sucks. You make it sound like it was 10-0. It was a game.
  18. No, because for whatever bizarre reason, their fans are incredibly douchey, at least on realgm and Reddit. You'd think they're the Yankees. This series is toast. Not a chance this team beats the Bucks four times. They can't run with them. Starting to get the feeling the Bucks may be an all time great. When they're rolling they are just a juggernaut. Embarrassing the best teams in the league.
  19. What on Earth happened to the guy. He was a legitimate good option last season.sucks.
  20. Can't help but laugh. Not sure why you think you get two there.
  21. Too bad. I always liked him. He was great with fans.
  22. Speaking of the Salad Man, he's raking down in San Antonio
  23. I don't completely disagree with this...IF you can force the shots to be taken by below average to average shooters. If they're coming from guys like Danny Green and Lowry, that's when it becomes a problem. It'll be interesting how that works out if they play the Warriors, as that strategy wouldn't seem to make a lot of sense...almost everyone they have can shoot the 3 Three. Three guys can shoot the 3 for the Warriors. That's it. You leave everyone else open and let them bomb away. That's just it. The Bucks don't have the name recognition or three guys as good as any of those three, but they do have more guys that can shoot threes. I worded that oddly, but I was trying to say Giannis probably still isn't as good as a healthy KD, and the other two guys are certainly better than anyone we have besides Giannis. But they're still just three guys.
