Mids missed shoot around with a sore throat.

Right now the only reason Toronto has to L's is because of Snell's Cool J.

(LL COOL J!)

Anyways, Giannis needs to be something like a Phenomenon and Khris needs to Rock the Bells in order for us to win. Get through Toronto and Cleveland would be the only real challenge stopping the Bucks from Going Back to Cali. I could see us Doin' It, but on the road in Toronto, It Gets No Rougher.

They call me Jaws. My hat is like a shark's fin.

Everyone knows you win because an octopus at the San Diego Zoo touches the beachball with your teams logo on it. There's nothing humans can do to affect the outcome. An octopus decides.

IDK, I think jersey color is a big factor as well

There was a study that said teams in black were more badass. It was written back in the heyday of the Oakland Raidahs, which made it kind of plausible, and it got a lot of press coverage.

An analysis of the penalty records of the National Football League and the National Hockey League indicates that teams with black uniforms in both sports ranked near the top of their leagues in penalties throughout the period of study. On those occasions when a team switched from nonblack to black uniforms, the switch was accompanied by an immediate increase in penalties. The results of two laboratory experiments indicate that this finding can be attributed to both social perception and self-perception processes—that is, to the biased judgments of referees and to the increased aggressiveness of the players themselves.

There's something primal about girding for battle, which is why Little Leaguers love them some eye black stickers. Maybe black does affect adrenaline or aggressiveness. I hope so.

Middleton is either going to crap the bed again or give us a flu game tonight.

I think the Bucks prefer to be the underdog. I expect them to play much better tonight because of that reason.

But the raptors have made some great adjustments and I don't know if the Bucks will adapt in time. I'd be surprised if we get blown out, but I don't expect a win. I think Toronto wins a close one.

I think Midds will be on, and overall the Bucks will play well tonight. Not predicting a W necessarily, though, as I don't know how the Raps will respond.

I was at Game 6. Worked out well...

Without Bogut, we weren't doing anything in the second round. This is a bigger game.

An ESPN fan survey has 58% of respondents saying the Bucks would be a bigger threat to the Cavs than the Raptors would be. (Sorry if that was already posted somewhere.)

Thing I'm most concerned about is that Toronto hasn't put together a great game yet in this series. Give credit to our defense for a good chunk of that but put some at least some of it on them for just playing poorly. Seems to me if they have a great game in them it's going to be tonight's.

BucksPackers · Post #140 » by **BucksPackers** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 5:35 pm

Defensive matchups

Thon on Val
Mids on Ibaka
Brog on Powell
Giannis on DD
Snell on Lowry

or if Val doesn't start

Thon on Baka
Mids on Carroll
Brog on Powell
GIannis on DD
Snell on Lowry

Thats how id matchup. Can't let DD kill us again. Stop DD you stop the Raps
