My point was, wait until the Bucks actually do something before talking smack. It looks ridiculous and completely tone deaf that you guys are propping up regular season wins against a team that ran off 4 straight wins against you on route to winning a title about 8 months ago.


Spurs weren't trading him to the west. You got lucky.


We got lucky!!!!

Coach Carter said so. So that means the Raps got LUCKY.


now you're coming around :D

For one, I'm glad we lost because it solidifies the idea that the Bucks are the favourites. Second, it brings most of this board back to reality. We aren't the best team in the league. But contrary to what the GT will have you believe, we aren't the worst either. I think there's still quite a long way to go. If we do make it back to the Eastern Finals and Milwaukee is there, I firmly believe we have a shot to beat them. They are mental midgets. And like the way we were during the DeRozan/Lowry years, until they prove themselves in the playoffs, I won't believe a thing. No one on their team scares me. I am legit more worried about the Celtics in the playoffs.


What a stupid post.


I love you bro! Enjoy the victory tonight!

Elite defense, and I think only clippers the only team that can beat them as they have more playmakers than they do to crack that defense


They're one team Siakam's post moves won't work against and he seems to realize this because he refused to drive tonight. Need him to work on his mid range, floaters, pull ups, etc.

I was surprised Nurse went away from him in the 4th. It felt like he was starting to swing the game.

This was a crap look because they are on back to back and OT and yet seemed to have equal or better energy.
Serge needed to slow down, was hearing foot steps and got the ping-pong paddles for hands.
Rebounding still issue.
I still hate the two small guards together for more than 10 mpg as change of pace not your base offense. Most nights they get something at rim but nothing tonight. Chances are we won’t have to play both 76ers and Bucks this year so will be exposed less.
Refs were not balanced!
Miss KLaw to be a run stopper and 4th Q leader.
OG best game in a long time!
MT gave us spark in first half!
TD gave us spark in second half!
CB held his own and then some!
PS still a star not Superstar really could not score except 3s
3/20 might is most critical regular season game in years!!!

Our defense is still championship caliber.

We just don't have a reliable 1st option that can overcome the best defenses. Siakam isn't there yet and you really can't do it by committee come playoff time. You need a guy who can get to their spots against ANY defense. Kawhi, Lebron, Curry. Doncic one day. Tatum has shown that potential.

This playoffs will basically be a stress test for Siakam to get in reps as a 1st option. It will be ugly and difficult to watch at times. But he'll be better for it in the long run hopefully. OG, TD2, Thomas, Fred and Norm will also get more valuable experience.

Incredibly impressive from the Bucks. Beat the Sixers on Sunday, overcame Beal's 55 last night, and then up here to end a 3 games in 4 nights. Their drop coverage is just daunting. The back line of Giannis/RoLo/BroLo is incredible, it would match up in any era.

Good playoff benchmark game. Look forward to the ECF, where we'll have Milwaukee kryptonite Norm back in the fold. Imagine how good the Bucks playoff care package is gonna be this year considering he's made a huge jump in his overall game already. It'll be kaioken x20 on top of his already improved form.

This was supposed to be a statement game that the Raps can hang with the top level teams and not just get wins against .500 or sub .500 teams.

for who? we're the champs. we don't need to prove anything to anyone. esp in the regular season.

Siakam cannot go into the playoffs playing offense the same way he's playing right now. I'm hoping he starts using his size and quickness mismatch more in the playoffs start.

Good to know.

So if the Bucks win a title this year it won't count because they were lucky that Giannis fell to 15th in the draft. He should have been chosen earlier. You were gifted him.

Also, just in case there's any confusion.....

Are you trying to minimize the effectiveness of Masai!? Masai got Kawhi cause he's the best GM/President in the league. There's too much proof to argue against it.

Too bad our mods aren't sensitive pussies like the Bucks mods are. I went on their board twice last year to have an actual conversation and was banned on sight. Doubt their bozos that are in here gloating after a regular season win will get banned. It's kind of funny that such a terrible franchise has such entitled fans, well, all 12 of them. Haven't won ****. Won a playoff round for the first time in ages last season. And they are coming on the board of the NBA CHAMPIONS and THEY are gloating? LMAO. All I can do is laugh. No point in even engaging with such deluded ****. I didn't believe it but i guess incense really must be that prevalent there.
