Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
The Bucks were just referred to as "Minnesota" by one of the announcers.
That's when you know you're a small market team.

Gonna haunt them. That was the best shot at grabbing the momentum. That series is effectively over.
You gotta blame George for that...Lebron doubled to his left and he gave up the ball instead of going right. Even if he passes and he goes right he passes to Teague. Also did you see who the had on the floor for that final set...its essentially over because George and the Pacers are NOT clutch.
Lance is crazy btw...but he is thier Jason Smith. Plays hard both ends of the court

Terry is getting abused defensively, hopefully doesn't foreshadow Bogie's game tomorrow.

Middleton is playing very poorly.
I will take a longer break and check scoreboard later

Glad we missed out on playing Milwaukee. Their length is scary!

The Bucks have a very unique defense where they double team all the time and rely on their length to gamble and force turnovers. It takes time for teams to get used to the defense so we should expect Toronto to score more as the series goes on.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
Typicality the team with the best player wins the series. Antetokounmpo is the east's second best player and soon he will be number one after Lebron begins to decline. Toronto has a more balanced roster and a better defense than the Bucks but Antetokounmpo is going to give Toronto a ton of trouble.

Aside from that highly substantive meme, I was really expecting the Raptors to be rock solid in the postseason this year - the backcourts seems to again be imploding despite the accolades.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3
Monroe has just been an absolute monster on defense AND on the boards. We would be a better team if we went for him instead of Bojan at the deadline.

I am so glad the Wizards didn't get the Bucks.
Tough matchup

Wow. 6 consecutive losses for Toronto in Game 1 home games. They just extended their record.

And folks here complaining about getting the Hawks lol.
We'd look better against the Bucks than the Raps do right now but it would be a tough physical series.

Off the top of my head that Bucks blowout was our biggest loss of the year aside from the Golden State loss.

If you think about it, they're a nightmare matchup for Toronto. To beat Milwaukee, you have to move the ball around a lot to get them out of position. The Raps are the worst passing team in the league and rely heavily on one-on-one offense from DeRozan and Lowry.

Yeah, but we beat them the other 3 games.

Feels like the Raptors have nothing for the Bucks, they don't have a defender for Giannis, they can't beat their D. Middleton wasn't even hitting his shots.
