Round 1, Game 5: Bucks at Raps - 4/24/17 - 6:00 PM CST - FSN/NBATV

Again, people seem to overrate the **** out of coaching. I keep hearing that Casey made "adjustments" and that was the key, yet their offense scored a whopping 87 points on 41% shooting with a 92.6 O-Rtg. I guess those "adjustments" didn't really help the offense at all did they? They haven't figured out the Bucks' defense at all, they just had to rely on them having an even more pathetic offensive performance than they did.

Powell was one of the best players on the court in game 4 and shut down Middleton. That adjustment by Casey was very important. My problem with Casey is he should have done it after game one. The Bucks have an insanely bright future but the Raptors are built to win now and it is very frustrating to see Casey hold them back with his horrible offensive sets and inability to not coach like it is 1979.

That 10% difference from 3P-range is devastating! I mean, it's almost 1.2 PPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have to somehow come out with as much energy as we did in Game 3. Just don't see it. Powell killed us in Game 4 with his energy.

We've held the Raptors to 83, 106, 77, and 87 points in this series. They "haven't played well" because our defense has made it that way.

Indeed. Raptors have had to work tremendously hard all 24 seconds of the clock basically.

Also, if you subtract Mirza and Vaughn's shooting on the regular season we were about 38% which isn't so far off anymore.

Casey made an adjustment, starting Powell, and they won the game.

Still honestly unsure if it was the Raptor's defense on Saturday or the Bucks sucking in afternoon games. It felt a lot like the Dallas and Chicago games. They just couldn't summon anything. Tonight will tell us a lot.

Toronto defense was a little better but it was also guys just flat out missing the open shots they were draining in game three. Middleton had a few wide open looks that rimmed out throughout the game, they missed numerous shots right at the rim as well.

I got that DVD as a Valentine's gift from my girlfriend when I was in high school.

Idk why this is so f*cking funny to me, but it is. I love it.

We don't need more energy. We need quality offensive execution when they pressure the ball.

They did a great job of getting us out of sync early on in possessions and the only thing we knew to do was go straight to iso ball, and our shots weren't falling from any of our iso guys (mids, giannis, monroe).

We either need to run better offense or hit our shots in iso situations.

Can we just not run ISO at all!!! Keep the ball moving we do so much better when we actually make passes.

[VooDoo7]

Lets hope the guys don't channel their inner Roberson at the line tonight. Gotta be better than last game.

[Prince12]

Lmao at that raps fan saying they have figured it out now. Powell was a great adjustment and gave us issues but he didn't single handedly make our whole team play our worst game in a long time.

We under no pressure threw it away repeatedly, Moose missed at least 4-5 absolute bunnies, we couldn't hit a free throw. I don't think that was due to Powell. We blew it ourselves in game 4 more then they beat us. We play a mediocre game and we win it. I believe we are in a bit of trouble now but if we actually show up we've seen we can rattle them very easily.

Lowry is already getting his excuse ready with his back.

[BucksRule18]

All I ask of the Bucks is to play like they did in Games 1-3. If we lose, then we lose. Please no more showings like Game 4, where I literally wanted to rip my eyes out. Also, I really hope that Kidd hires someone this off season to teach the Bucks players how to flop at the slightest hint of contact. All the elite teams / players seem to be doing this and getting away with it, including Lebron. If not, then maybe we can bring back Ersan to teach these young guys how to take a charge when someone even breaths on them.

[crkone]

Bucks have played like **** for 2 games and its 2-2. If they make just half their open shots the series would have been over.

If Toronto made half their open shots they would be up 3-1 as well. It works both ways.

I don't really care. I just saw a bogus argument and called it out with the exact opposite.

[Crafty_Veteran]

Bucks D overall was fine last game and held Raps under 90 points. Game 4 was only the second game the Bucks lost this year out of 16 games when they held their opponents to 95 points or less. Middleton and Brogdan need to hit some outside shots this game to open things up inside.
