Just came here as an outsider to say that Giannis is the most dominant player in the league by quite a margin. Ungodly what he’s doing against this defense with zero help.

Solid run to close out the half.

Giannis does not look finished but it’s scary that he scored 15 of the 19 points in the second. Will he be running on E again come 4th?

If someone(s) can step up in the 3rd and score, there’s a shot.

This is a very good Cs team and doing this without Middleton is incredibly tough.

What is Middleton? Roughly 20%ish of the payroll? It’s tough to be successful missing that much of what you count on for anything. This would be a close out game if Midds was healthy.

Hoping for a mini miracle the next 24 min.

Besides the miscommunication on the Smart three I think we finished pretty well. Giannis finishing inside is such a key to that.

Need at least two role players to get going for us to win this one. Stop playing scared.

We've got nothing except for Giannis iso's so i expect a great 3rd quarter from him and the inevitable collapse in the 4th quarter when he runs out of gas.Really need Jrue to step up here.Also cut down on the turnovers already.

What we need to improve in the off season.

Passing
Ballhandling
Shooting(I'm just kidding this is always going to be near 30% in the post season)

We need PNR guards. Jrue doesn't have it. Khris is unstable too.

When he drives to the hoop, he's a beast. When he does literally anything else, he is a pube

Yeah, it's just hard to do that every play from a mental, physical, and practical standpoint. If the rest of the team shot better than 31%, he probably could get inside more.

Classic Bucks, tricking everyone into watching the 2nd half like they may have a chance.

I'm surprisingly optimistic. Missed some cheap ones, they've made theirs, only down 7- Bobby remembers how to dunk and we're maybe only down 5. I think our struggles are correctable.

First 4 minutes of the 3rd will decide the game.

It’s clear that even if Bobby & Grayson are struggling, we have to play them — Brook is giving us nothing, besides being an even easier target than Grayson.

Pat has played really well just from the eye test.

I don’t give a damn if Hill plays again.

We've been presented with a great opportunity, we played comically bad and are only down 7. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we won't clean things up in the 2nd half and take advantage.

In the category of "things we've already said 6 times this series" - we're lucky to not be down more. Giannis and Jrue combine for 6 TOs in the half and the threes from Giannis are barely better than a turnover. We have to value possessions.
