Game 3 I went to the gym for an hour and we destroyed them. I guess I'm going to the gym again early in the morning.

Alright, you've convinced me. Let's all root for a Bucks loss tomorrow!

Pachinko just knows how clutch the Bucks would play in a dramatic Game 7.....

Here's my case in point, not necessarily about flopping, but what stars are able to get away with: Game 3 - after calling a TO, Lowry throws a blatant elbow to Delly's face which not even a Raptors fan could say wasn't deliberate. We all saw it, the ref was literally 6 inches away from it, and nothing was called. At the time, we didn't make much fuss because the Bucks were dominating the game. But still....Lowry = star. Now, Game 4 - Thon catches a high pass in the paint, his arms are already up, and he simply turns to put up a shot and gets called for throwing an elbow. Apparently, if you're a nobody, shooting a turnaround jumpshot can be considered an offensive foul. Thon = not a star.

Anyone else think Delly was about to rip Lowry's head off and take a dump down his neck if the ref didn't step in between them......

As it has been said, April 25th is a very significant day in Australia. The sacrifices of the men and women who have served and sacrificed for Australia in the numerous conflicts around the globe are remembered in every town in the nation.

Didn't read anything for 2 days.

Giannis mouth was dry in the second half, it was easy to see if you watched him, he was afraid with no confidence.
Don't know what to expect today from him and the team, hope fot the best.
Go Bucks.

I knew we were going to drop game 4 (early game, no black jerseys) but this is the series closer. We need to stay in attack mode.

basically I don't care if we win the series or not, it's inconsequential, we are not ready and this is not our year yet.
Next year in the POs I'll be freaking out like a Raptor fan, this year I'm just having (a tonne of) fun.

Had a dream that Telly banked in a huge 3. Hopefully he doesn't play, but if he has to, please make a shot.

Yeah if he's going to make a big shot then banking it in sounds about right.

Bucks record in afternoon games this year is horrible so I'm calling last game a fluke. The defense still looks good, need to hit some shots and take an early lead in the 1st then we can win. We don't do so great when playing from behind.

Bucks shot 35% on uncontested FGs. Can't do that if they want to win.

Should've won the last two AB and actually us aswell. Coming along nicely the dees.

Except in the win column and we're out of tall blokes.

Still biggest regular season crowd I've been part of so that was cool at least for 3/4 of the game.

On topic I think Delly needs to play more minutes with Giannis if Giannis doesn't have anything going. Get him as a roll man or get him some switches.

If they move the ball, the Bucks will win. They completely stopped moving the ball (And seeing screens) in the second half of game 4, and it was ugly.

Middleton needs to step up. He's been struggling to get much going on offense throughout the series this far. A highly efficient 25+ points including a couple dagger threes in the fourth would help us steal this one.

Siefer · Post #98 » by **Siefer** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 2:37 pm

We need calm, and in control Giannis. Everything rotates around him, and even if they're packing the paint, Giannis has the tools to be a huge force on the game. Post up, find open teammates on the perimeter, take the odd wide open 3, and play great defense. But for the love of god, don't careen towards the hoop like a maniac over and over.

I thought we'd lose game four, think we win tonight.

Hopefully play with a chip on their shoulder tonight, but I still unfortunately think we lose a close one.
