I always struggle with this because 6 games feels like the right length, but I struggle picking them closing out on the road.

I think philly was the worst possible match up for us (Toronto).

Their length and skill scared me a lot more than Milwaukee. I don’t expect Milwaukee to challenge us as much as Philly tbh. I know people will bring up regular season record, but looking at years past... regular season record doesn’t mean anything. Raps in 6.

Toronto in 6 ... Philly was nightmare matchup, we have the best player and experienced team.

We beat this same buck team last year with Demar instead of Kawhi/Green and JV instead of Gasol.

Raps in 7, if they can hit their open 3's. I think people are giving too much credit to the Bucks tbh. I know the Raps have been pretty bad the last round, but if their offense steps up this will be a tight 6-7 game series

Don't even think of the Bucks having a bench. They have 48 minutes of starters play. They play fast and loose for the whole game.

reg season is by far the best predictor of playoff success, but okay,

What? The Bucks played Boston last year (and were a much different team)

Boston fans said the same thing last series. I can see this going either way as both teams are very good, but to call the Bucks the same team as last year is woefully ignorant. They are far from it.

The other guys have to step up in a major way for the Raptors to have a chance.

Philly was a great matchup for us.

Gasol shuts down Embiid and Kawhi shuts down Simmons. We do a decent job on Butler too.

The problem was the missed shots. We shot 30% on open 3s this series (and that dropped even lower after tonight).

This was the matchup we wanted. We just sucked, hard.

Jason Kidd - great example of addition by subtraction

Not happening regardless of who wins.

Cockiness of Raps fans. Thinking Philly is easier?

Bucks in 5-7.

I think the Bucks have been very good so far, but I think they've played the two worst teams in the playoffs each round too.

Celtics were not worse than the nuggets or blazers untill the bucks went from being second to last in switch frequency to switch everything and having little player movement to lots of player movement.

The 15 point differential in the last 4 games is a testament to the bucks. The celtics became dysfuctional after the bucks broke them 3-1. And kawhi is great, he's not as good as al horford defensively.

Raptors won two less games this year and Philly was a tougher out than Boston.

It's not just the wins, it's how you win.. The bucks literally rekting teams this season, they not just win them.. they destroying them..
