ECQF | (3) Toronto Raptors vs Milwaukee Bucks (6) | TOR 4-2

[Bizness2520]

Bucks are playing out of their minds right now. Its not sustainable but good for them. They are shooting everything at higher percentages from the regular season. Its really not sustainable but good for the Bucks team for making those shots. Ill be mad if we lose and those same shots start to not fall.

But, do you think it's sustainable? lol

Only needs to be sustainable for this series. Nobody on this side of the bracket is beating Cleveland next round. But for Milwaukee to get to the 2nd round, would be a huge confidence boost for them as a current team and Franchise. And for a budding superstar in Giannis. They have a nice young core that could be great for years to come. This would be a huge stepping stone. They are getting stronger and stronger as this series goes on.

No matter how bad yesterday was (it was horrible), all Toronto needs is a w in game 4 to complete their goal heading into Milwaukee.

I think Bucks are the better team but they can't be complacent.

In theory yes! Buttttt. If this was in Toronto, i'd say Toronto has a good chance to even it up. But the game being in Milwaukee again with a crazy crowd getting it going again. I see another win for Milwaukee. Man Milwaukee has too much confidence now, and they are at "HOME" Raptors **** up by losing game 1 at home, they are screwed. If Toronto would have taken care of home court they'd still be up 2-1. But now they are down 1-2 and gotta win on the road just to even it up.


Milwaukee has dominated this series, this looks like a avalanche that's about to happen. This gone get ugly!

People still underestimating the Bucks. Cleveland is very beatable. They are complete trash on defense.

I am not saying it is a forgone conclusion that the Bucks, if they make it that far, will beat the Cavs because you know. LeBron. But Cleveland is very beatable.

Cleveland is beatable, but not by this young Bucks team. But I do think Washington can beat them. Most likely will see that matchup in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Raps were in the same positions in last years playoffs in both first round series and still managed to win. They also managed to fight back to 2 all vs the cavs.

They have been playoff underachievers for 3 or 4 years now, especially the Brick Brothers but last year they at least showed they were resilient. I wouldn't write them off yet even though they give us every reason to.

My comment was very tongue in cheek. I really don't think what the Bucks are doing is unsustainable unless you're talking about our effort on the defensive end. We're making wide open shots, getting to the basket and scoring inside at will and scoring in transition. Saying we're just shooting the lights out and we can't sustain this is wrong.

Bucks dominating in all phases good assessment. Definitely not just shooting the lights out. They are smothering them on defense, hitting shots, driving to the basket, everything. Only reason Raptors won game 2 is because they were at home and desperate, and the Bucks were still trying to find themselves somewhat. Milwaukee is brimming with confidence now, and being at home should only bolster that confidence. Bucks are fun to watch. Looking forward to watching them game 4.

I should clarify that the shots being made are unsustainable. Both your wide open and contested shots.

I just can't see it this time man. Last year was a fluke, and the East was about as bad as i've seen it in a long time. I do not see Toronto beating Milwaukee in Milwaukee. Just can't see it.

Raptors are putting everything into stopping Giannis clowning them, keep giving us wide open shots and we'll keep hitting them.

[Ramed Nazored]

I know this isn't a popular opinion right now in Raptor Land, but damn, if they end up loosing this series and having to rebuild, I'll miss this group.

They provided us with a ton of exciting moments and some really fantastic stretches of basketball. Last year's playoff run was a joy to me, regardless of how hard a time they had with dispatching the Pacers and Heat.

I'm disappointed in this team right now. This series is beginning to take on the same energy as that disastrous Wizards fiasco back in 2015.

I hope they play with some pride tomorrow and make it competitive.

Props to the bucks and the Greak Freak, he looks unstoppable so far.
But all good things come to an end, so don't sleep on my Raptors just yet. Not all of their fans have given up on them ... yet.

A storm is coming and the young bucks better bring their umbrella tomorrow it's gonna be raining buckets
The mid-range assassin is not gonna be stopped any longer

Lil B based God just blessed the Raptors tonight. Raptors went from being a massive underdog to now favourites to win in 6

[tundraknight]

The Raptors need to bring back the Barney jerseys.

Bucks are a young team and may not be able to handle pressure. If the Raptors play smart then they can win on Saturday and finish off the Bucks in the next 2 games after that.

If the raptors lose these series it won't be because of lowry/derozan.
That's definetely a factor but the use of valanciunas has been really horrible.
He's the only guy the bucks can't stop if he gets the ball.
I've said it again(on this thread). I have no idea what the raptors are doing with the C position.
There's no reasonable explanation for this.
Still, i think the raptors will win the series. Bucks have done what the fanbase wanted: They proved that they can own the future.
The present ain't so important, they are not winning the championship this year(neither the next 2).
But now they are gaining the confidence they needed and they are making their team a desirable destination for FA.
Bucks have already won in my books even if they don't progress to the next round.

Wait. When did you write this post? It says today but this is the same **** that has been spewed about the Bucks now for over a month.

Outplaying Toronto (who is a very good team) in every facet of the game in the playoffs really hasn't changed this perception?

I am just glad this game is played on the basketball court and not in the court of public perception.

So far there's only one team in this series that has displayed any qualities of "not being able to handle pressure" it's not the Bucks.
