Michael Grady (TWolves announcer) and Stephanie White on the ESPN broadcast. I'll stick with Marques for round 1.

I fear we lose this one, but you can't win in 6 if you don't lose 2.
Let's go Bucks!

There will be a lot of pearl clutching on the board with a loss today. Unfortunately.

I just hoped for Trent/KPJ instead of Kuz, w/ Prince moving up to the 3. Couldn't get too greedy. But not shocked the sus starters still persist. If we lose this series, figure it would be due to additional key injuries, or Doc. Overall team, top players, we're better & motivated.

Pacers at about the 5-minute mark of the 1st quarter: “Oh, this is what it’s like to play against Playoff Giannis. :-?

“

I figured the lineups would stay the same. Hopefully Doc continues to play the hot hand and if the bench mob with Giannis lineup continues to groove, up their minutes on the court together and down the stretch.

Hopefully Rollins hounds Haliburton and shows some savvy plays on offense.

Don't have a way to watch Fan duel broadcast, but I've had espn on for close to a half hour and they haven't even mentioned our game, the disrespect is crazy

Pressure is on the Pacers but it's game 1 at home so they'll definitely have the energy and effort. Expecting McConnell to get at least 12 pts.

Over/under on TP starting off on Halliburton?

I know he's pretty much an afterthought now, but I wonder if they keep Ajax ready as a break glass in case of emergency option. He was pretty good on Shai, Hali and a few other lead guards this year. It's a shame he can't do anything on offense.

Starting the Prince/Kuzma duo again is stupid enough, but if Prince takes the Haliburton assignment to start he's legit the dumbest coach in the league.

Going to lose my mind if Turner starts out hitting a couple of open 3’s with Brook in the drop. He’s going to get good looks.

I would be optimistic about the Bucks winning this series.

But unfortunately we are coached by Doc Rivers.

I would prefer a win.

Damn, I just took a look and Ajax's 39.5% from three for the season!
On like one attempt per game, but still.
Persoanlly I'd like to see him on like 10 minutes per game but I know he's way too inconsistent for the playoffs.
