I don't care what people say, the Bucks are beatable despite their dominance in the regular season.

They're definitely beatable if Bledsoe is going to choke in the playoffs again (which he's doing again tonight).

Bucks so soft. Needed the Lakers loss to catch up to them.

Need a second star or they will be bounced before the finals again. Almost every winner has at least two stars. Middleton isn't that guy.
Ska needs to make a comeback.

Notice how the Lakers bigs are consistently sealing the drop big under the rim to let Lebron have easy layups ?
Something we should be able to take advantage of too, Serge/Marc could do it even if they both prefer to pop
I wonder how many centers will turn into offensive linemen in the playoffs lol

Bruh Giannis was that close to a season ending injury.

Lol I meant catch up to Lakers. If we beat bucks we’ll have home court in finals.

we'll have to see if Raptors can beat them with Powell and Gasol back....definitely need a fully healthy roster to have a chance.

every player we have is at least 2 tiers below giannias. It will be hard to win a series like that.

I find it hard to believe that it would be more advantageous bringing the shooting big inside rather than outside. The Lakers do it because their bigs can't shoot and are good at rebounding. Also another disadvantage of this strategy is your bigs take longer to get back on defense.
The only other contending team I could see doing that are the Celtics.

i watch the bucks Giannias is like in almost every play making an impact. Sure we can beat the dead horse by saying we will build a wall; he can't shoot jumpshots; he sucks at free throws; he can't play more than 35 mins a game because he's not used to it. But the bottomline is just that over the course of a game he generates so much raw output it will be almost impossible to compensate on end by committee.
his phsycial attribute is so high that it's really like playing 6 vs 5

We can slow the Bucks down defensively, but offensively we just don't have enough. I'm still worried about our half-court offense even when healthy, you're going to need a legit star to break through the best defense in the league. Siakam has ways to go still

Giannis won’t win a ship with Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton as his number 2 and 3 options. Lmao, Bledsoe is such a dumb ass.

Even though Raptors lost to the Bucks in the recent matchup they still did a great job defending Giannis, he made a couple 3s which made his numbers look better...even without Kawhi the ability to limit Giannis is still there which gives me hope....and that was without Gasol.

If healthy, we're heading back to the NBA Finals.
Bucks have been relatively healthy the past 2 years, so they've built up these nice regular season records.
Raptors are playing for the playoffs though.
