Giannis just showed derozan he's challenging him as the best player in the series and I think he is by a good margin dam

Brogdan didn't look like a rookie making his first playoff appearance. I had never heard of him until he tore the Bulls up early in the season.

you guys see dat? 1 point win by cavs. Indy could have easily taken that game.

and now the bucks just packed and delivered like UPS tracks, NBA playoffs goin all hell just pump dat gas!!!

[bullscolts1021]

Still wish the Bulls could have gotten Toronto..

To me, there's no challenge. Giannis was/is very clearly a superior player. Today's game was a perfect example of an individual's greatness from one team superseding the collective talent of another team. When you have the best player on the floor, you always have a chance. The Raptors have more talent with Jabari on the sidelines, but it didn't matter, because Giannis was just too damn good. This is kind of what you hope to see out of the Bulls in this series against the Celtics. Jimmy should be the best player on the floor.

Who has the better playoff run, Wade or Carter?

I saw Paul George walk off the court pissed that CJ didn't give the ball back. The whole team has to know you want to give the ball to George if it's at all possible.

Good post I agree

Giannis > DD. No doubt.

Lots of parity on the EC this year.

[Butler4thewin]

The eastern games have been real fun to watch

[Butler4thewin]

I want to see khawhi this postseason how he performs against every team

[kdapiton]

Giannis is an absolute f*****g nightmare.

Giannis is an absolute f*****g nightmare.

Also that rookie pg is pretty good and thon maker has me so sad we don't have him he's done this to me all season
The bucks look a lot more complete of a team then I anticipated

[GimmeDat]

I don't remember who it was, but there were a lot of people calling the Bucks average throughout the year here.

The Bucks are a great team, and would've won that even more convincingly if Kidd coached that game better, imo.

When you think Middleton's not back to his self yet (and on top of that just had a horrid night) and Parker is set to come back next year (though the multiple injuries are concerning long term), they've got a high ceiling as a team over the next few years.

Also worth stressing how big of a role 2 rookies (Brogdon and Maker) played in that game, and how they've been pivotal parts of their rotation for a while now. Good drafting gets you places and Maker has quite a ceiling in the long term.

On the flip side, the Raps were very sub-par and got nearly nothing from Lowry. This should be a close series.

I was just thinking of how great they have been at drafting they look to be something big in the making

[Butler4thewin]

I love raptor fans but man I'm not gonna lie this is so funny and the thought of them getting bounced by the bucks would be hilarious to see on there game board

Mr. Basketball.

[bullscolts1021]

Spurs bench is good...

[AKfanatic]

Omg 10 seconds in and Gobert goes down.

Damn I hope it's not serious
