Around the NBA - Blazing into the Conference Finals

[HEZI]

Coaching is really overrated. Raps won by a lot of just plain talent and effort. Bucks played scared overall, aint no coaching overcoming that.

that's true in the aggregate.

But let's not lie that the Bucks gameplan was to live and die by 3s because "analytics."

And the resting of Giannis in increments was stupid too.

Bud should be blasted for this.

Giannis too.

Neither should walk freely in public

That's what got them this far so they just stayed to their identity. Nothing was saving them other than their guys stepping up and they failed to do say. Raps strategy was the same, pack the paint and cut off Giannis drives, force the other guys to make plays. Problem wasn't Bud, problem was Toronto just had too much size, length, athleticism and Kawhi

I still think kawhi is gone, but I'm sure he's enjoying this.

true, but being up 15 in the 3rd and letting it all go has something to do with Bud in my eyes.

I care less about sportsmanship, eff that. This was a Bucks choke more than a Raps win tonight.

[Clyde_Style]

Sucks for Giannis. I'm a huge fan.

What's worse is that this is the last Inside the NBA for the season.

Now I have to listen to Mark Jackson say "mama there goes that man" on ABC with their **** coverage.

[Marty McFly]

Kawhi ain’t leaving Toronto anymore

if they win, definitely.

[Thugger HBC]

Kawhi looking at Masai like "I'm gone man".

[GettinitDone]

Ujiri: "**** the Warriors"

So it's ok to not make any adjustments? None?

I love anything that shows how little this fool knows.

[Thugger HBC]

They love them some Lowry.

[GettinitDone]

I think Kawhi's decision comes to who he's playing for... I think he loves Nurse.

He looks at Vogel or Fizdale, he said "nah".

[god shammgod]

kawhi might go somewhere where someone else will do the talking after this because it looks like torture for him

Fizdale may end up being the thing that sinks the Knicks recruitment efforts. He came off this season as such a flim-flam man.

Maybe he can sit on Anthony Hopkin's lap and work for him

[melocuse15]

Kawhi is either staying in Toronto or going home to LA (Clippers)

It's a game of runs though and it was even discussed earlier in the game that Bucks just didn't look like they were gonna get it done even with their lead. You could feel it all game long, their hot shooting wasn't gonna last all game. Raptors turned it up and closed out harder on the shooters and Raps just didn't have the playmakers to get it done. They've been riding Giannis all season and Raps figured out a way to cut the head off the snake, Bucks just can't get it done without him against this Raps team who is deep.

[dakomish23]

If they win, I think he’s out. But if they lose, he might have a chip on his shoulder to come back and finish the job.

[SelbyCobra]

I was rooting for MIL just to create more potential drama with the FA scene if Kawhi left, but I'm secretly glad that Giannis got exposed. For a lot of people that picked apart his game and got shouted down because he was still dominating, this is that Dennis Green moment. HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS.

And on top of that he was as flat-out scared - and actually affected by it - as any star player I can remember in a long time.

it's ironic because heading into this series, the Raps depth was in question.

My problem is pride. I could care less about runs. If I'm an obsessive fan and see my team up 15, they better win the game and close it out.

That's why I just can't give Toronto much credit. Then having Milwaukee blow defensive rebounds too smh
