Raps could be up 3-1 if they didn't blow that first game.

But man they are making the Bucks look like scrubs......

I guess the bucks are not invincible like many thought. The C’s played such a pathetic series.

Bucks could be up 3-0 if Giannis doesn't foul out of game 3

Some here where riding the bucks cocktails. They could win this series but they will lose to the warriors.

Celtics could be playing in this ECF instead if we didn't suck.

This is the game that could keep Leonard in Toronto just as much as that buzzer beater. Used as more of a decoy on offense for most of game but rest of Raptors looking better than before.

I am riding team anything. I don't care about being right, not like I put money on this junk.

Other guys got going finally....have not seen them this balanced looking for a while.

Now have to see if the Bucks can regroup at home in game 5 or if the Raptors really cracked something here.

Quite a performance tonight by Toronto.

Bledsoe killing the Bucks. He’s been awful this series. They need a guard to step up.

They should sign Terry Rozier to the max.

I'll admit I am losing some faith with Bucks after tonight but to be fair to them Raptors are a 58 win team despite Leonard missing 20+ games who beat Warriors twice during regular season.

Raptors tougher team tonight for sure and team with more energy.

Have $450 riding on the Bucks, this would be an all time bad defeat if they blow this series.

The Bucks on realgm fans may be right. With Leonard hobbled probably bad idea to play him like the Raptors play Giannis. Make him beat you more 1 on 1 before resorting to all the double teams.

I'm rooting on GS to win it all without durant. It's the best scenario for me personally.

To think they did this with Leonard clearly hobbled is really impressive. Hopefully, his injury gets better and not worse if Toronto is the team that advances.

Barkley is right that Leonard really did sucker them tonight.. Leonard wanted to be doubled so he could get assists or hockey assists and just make it easier on his teammates.

If Milwaukee coach doesn't try to single him next game, I will lose some faith in the guy. Better to let a hobbled Leonard score 35 then let all of their other players get going.

I’m sticking with the Bucks. Though, I no longer think they can win it in 5.

I certainly hope Kawhi will be okay. I almost feel like this series needs to go 7 now lol. And in a game 7 on the road I would trust Kawhi but I hope he will be healthy enough for the long haul here.
