Some people didn't want Vanderbilt because they said he couldn't shoot.

I'm not sure we need him to win the championship but he certainly would have helped out a lot..

Close out game is always the toughest. I still would rather be up 3-1. Bucks still in it but have no room for error now

Will be a hell of a hole to dig out of. Think this goes 7 now but Bucks win or lose, I’m happy that’s currently their best case scenario.

Praying we take care of games 5 and 1, but the prospect of home court through the finals is worth salivating over.

Even if miami make it through, they are gonna be so beat up going into 2nd round. Classic miami

I thought Jae Crowder was supposed to make a difference against players like Butler?

The knicks can matchup better against them

He can't but I am a bit surprised they didn't even try him.

Maybe I'm sipping too much green tea but I actually think Tatum is the only one who's long and athletic enough to give Butler trouble..

Really hoping I can have a large plate of crow on this. 1 more game and feel free to remind me.

I do still think bucks win the series but man I am hope I’m wrong

Lost in the Butler performance is that Milwaukee completely wasted a 36 point game from Brook **** Lopez. What a disastrous game for them

Not real worried about the Heat. Celtics have the wings (Tatum, Brown, Smart) to slow Butler down a little.

Duncan Robinson has no chance against Tatum, Brown or D White or anybody.

All-time performance by Butler tonight though

remember that time I said rui couldn't keep his shooting up bc even curry couldn't... he's been shooting 67% from the floor and 75% from 3!! How and that's bonkers?!!! That must be some type of record through 3 games, no?

Wow this guy may have been onto something, that post was from March 10th.

Nah that guy doesn’t know basketball like you do.

Haven’t seen him around for awhile which is good, he’s an insufferable know it all.

D*** i* Danny Ainge's players are stepping up in this game..

Without Steven Adams Memphis is just way too small.

Butler is a bad bad man. Everybody that were downplaying them are foolish. Yeah, we beat them in a 7 game series. I have no doubt.. But you were right if you wanted to avoid them in the first round.

lon3lytoaster · Post #1678 » by **lon3lytoaster** » Tue Apr 25, 2023 2:49 am

Meanwhile out West, I have no idea what’s going to happen. Could see any of Denver, Phoenix, Sacramento, GS or even the Lakers coming out. Would have said the Clippers without their injuries.

Just about anyone except Memphis or Minnesota lol

We sweep the Heat if they had the misfortune of winning the play-in and getting matched up against us.

Bucks Players are way too slow and old to play real defense. Crowder, Ingles, Middleton.
