Going to be amazing when Giannis comes here



First step is them losing a bunch of key players to bigger contract offers by desperate teams with cap space this summer.

No, you learn and recognize the characteristics of a team that you follow every minute of a full nba season. There's not a challenge they haven't been able to overcome and are a well built team around a generational talent, who knows who he is. Giannis has grown up this year into a killer. you can see it in his eyes. It's the eye of the tiger. He won't be denied. :nod:

Honestly I’m worried Milwaukee can play better than what they showed.

I really think that was our game to steal.

Game 2 might be rough. If we pull it out then Kenny is right. This team is championship material.

Raptors transition defense has been top tier all playoffs. Bucks are mediocre in halfcourt. I don’t expect them to randomly start being substantially better unless they score in transition.

I hope you’re right. Something weird about hearing the Bucks in the NBA finals. I’m not ready for that.

We almost won that game with our 2 top scorers both playing like hot garbage.

You think the bucks will shot that poorly again?

Mirotic 1/6 3pt
middleton 1/6 3pt
bledsoe 0/6 3pt
ersan 1/4 3pt
Most were wide open. George hill didn't even make a fg and he's a raptor killer.

They were clearly rusty and Lowry won't play at that level again.


That game 1 L made me numb. I was really incredulous that the Raptors were playing that good in a game 1. They looked in really good shape. Sadly the guys couldn't step up. While Brook played really well, the others did not.

I'm also concerned about Kawhi in the 4th..

I agree with this tweet below. Such a massive gap between our star and what LeBron used to do year in year out.

Read on Twitter

What about Kawhi's previous big minute games? He played 43 minutes in G7 and stepped up when we needed him most; Kawhi scored 15 PTS on 6/9 shooting - including the game winner - in Q4. Kawhi willed us to another win with 39 PTS on 13/20 shooting in 43 minutes in G4 too.

Keep thinking Kawhi is the issue or not good enough, though.

Portland and Raptors are similar

Bucks and GSW similar as well

Who was Giannis talking about in that clip? Was he throwing a shot at the raps.

Siakam needs to attack the basket and stop shooting from deep.

I fully expect we could be in this game until the late minutes. At that point Milwaukee has an large advantage because Giannis can commit offensive fouls and get free throws from it every time up while we will be relying on getting tough contested twos.

Every one of those players should be embarrassed. That’s a ridiculous stat.

They keep calling this a "historic" season.

Bucks are ranked 29th all-time in SRS... lol. They were just 0.75 higher than last year's Raptors led by Demar Derozan and Dwane Casey... lol.

They remind me a lot of us when we experienced success for the first time. They're getting even cockier though since their humbling won't come until the finals (if we don't take care of business).

I think we need to tone it down on collapsing on Giannis this much.

This is not good to give them this many open looks.
