  1. Poor free throw shooting from Giannis just kills us in these close games. He's getting close to teams being able to employ hack-a-Shaq/Happ strategy.
  2. Heading down to the wire it appears.
  3. Do these guys ever miss a free throw?
  4. He's not scoring, but he's playing well defensively, he's made some great passes and he's rebounding. We need him to hit shots for sure though. Yeah true, he'd be on his way to a triple double today if he could just hit a shot.
  5. That good Middleton from the blowout loss is the guy we really needed today and he's nowhere to be found.
  6. And of course we just can't pull away.
  7. Giannis really has struggled from the FT line the entire playoffs.
  8. Yep. Loved the trade and still think it made all the sense in the world, but man has he killed us.
  9. You never like to see your distributor turn the ball over 4 times in a half. Shooting far better today though.
  10. The good news is that we're capable of playing far better than we played in the first half and we're still up 3. The bad news is we haven't played the way we're capable of lately. Normally this kind of a setting and game trend I'd expect us to wear them down, make a run and pull away in the late 3rd/early 4th. But that kind of thing has been totally out the window this series so I really have no idea what to expect.
  11. 24 minutes left. Have to win this. Just have to.
  12. More Brogdon, less Bledsoe in the second half.
  13. What was our last bucket, 1/2 hour ago?
  14. Stuck at work and of course ESPN'S gamecast isn't working.
  15. Braun still has at minimum 2 1/2 more years to accumulate counting stats and he's on pace for 30 HR this year. 400 for his career is not totally out of reach. His 5 best years, 07, 08, 09, 11 and 12 are comparable to many HOFers. He's got 2 others, 10 and 16 that approach those. If he can add 3 more seasons on par with 2016 (admittedly a long shot), he's in the discussion if not for his PED suspension and his failure to come clean after failing the test. He's 2 points shy of being a career .300 hitter and 6 points shy of a career .900 OPS. Should he stay relatively healthy and manages to bump those career numbers up to those levels, a case can be made if not for the PED issues regardless of his counting stats. Braun has 1 1/2 more years left minimum, not 2 1/2. Yelich has a far better chance on the sole basis that he's (assumed) to have a clean career. If he continues to maintain that status and averages 5 WAR or so for the next 6 seasons or more he is likely a HOF player. If Braun had a clean past with his current numbers, finishing out strong would probably put Braun on the borderline of HOF discussion. As a player who wasn't clean, PED speculation alone has disqualified far better resumes than Braun so there's really no point in discussing his credentials further.
  16. Win tonight and that "we're going to the NBA Finals" feeling will return. Lose tonight and I'll be resigned to a Raptors/Warriors final, watching Game 6 with detachment and without expectation.
  17. If you didn't think a thread on Bledsoe's playoff struggles were necessary, no one forced you to participate in it. I didn't think a discussion about his struggles would be this controversial. Trust me, if he wakes up and leads us to a win with a big clutch performance tomorrow, I'll be the first to bump and acknowledge it.
  18. Middleton seems to handle it ok, and I wouldn't consider him one of the very best. I think that's a bit of hyperbole. If the problem was just that Bledsoe was below his career norms in the playoffs, that would be one thing. Being one of the worst and a complete liability has allowed the Raptors to play off him and let him shoot away. They have no respect for him right now. And why would they? Anyway, title revised.
  19. Regular season crunch time isn't the same thing as playoff crunch time.
  20. And that's a big problem right now. https://sports.yahoo.com/the-milwaukee-bucks-have-an-eric-bledsoe-problem-192522729.html
  21. There's almost no evidence to suggest this is true. Correct, it’s just an opinion, made with nothing but eyeballs. Chase didn't really pass the eye test as a reliever either. Your bias toward Burnes is getting astounding, and I LOVE Burnes. But he clearly would be deserving of a trip to San Antonio. Performance-wise, he's been one of the worst pitchers in MLB in 2019. It goes beyond a "minor location issue."
