I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

No reason this should series should go more than 5 games. Let's get that 1st round monkey off our back.

Whew, wanted nothing to do with T Ross and the surging Magic who actually have a chance against Toronto.

In the 4/5 series, Smart likely out in the 2nd round and Pacers of course not the same without Oladipo.

And thank goodness the Magic chose not to trade T Ross to the Raptors.

Seems like only yesterday it was the Redd-led 8th seed Bucks getting smacked down by the top-seeded Wallace brothers Pistons.

Better give the big men masks so Thon doesn't break any noses.

Time to pay up for the final game in '02 and the playoff losses in '03-04 & 05-06.
Go Bucks!

Normally this should be a sweep.

Playoff Thon is a thing though.

Mainly nervous these last couple of games show a renewed Detroit or that Playoff Thon is a thing against his former team.

Well Thon, this is what you wanted. Now you get to get smacked around by Giannis and watch the team you wanted off advance to the second round.

If there's a game 5 I'm going to be mildly disappointed.

We're still going into this series banged up a bit and Casey is a good coach. And they have guys who can hit the 3 and Thon knows all of our plays.

Worried about our players safety but this is about as comfortable opponent as we could've hoped for imo.

Dodged a bullet. Orlando is good. Without their best player, on the road, against a Charlotte team that had to win.

How many TO's do you think we can force if we just defend in a fashion that funnels the ball to Thon?

Only reason I wanted to avoid Orlando was because of the coach exposing weaknesses for the next opponent. Clifford is no joke.
