Rough day at work, still recovering from the game yesterday.

Shout-out to the crowd, ACC atmosphere was amazing and the Raptors just fueled the crowd even more with electrifying dunks. It got so loud when Norman posterized Maker my ears started ringing, head started shaking and my vision got blurry because of all the noise and adrenelain pumping. Can barely speak because my voice is gone from cheering all game. The "Bucks in 6" chant at the end was awesome!

Finally a convincing win in the series, let's get this done in 6!

its not about running over the bucks... the point was it looked like the bucks had our number. we were getting shut down and we had no answer for it. again, its not about panicking... the series couldve easily been 3-0 with the way the bucks controlled all those games... the one we won in toronto was so close, they had 2 wide open 3s at the end of that game that may have killed all our hopes but fortunately they missed both... again, after seeing how the bucks were dominating the whole series, sid was definitely not overreacting...

The problem I had with the team after the first 3 games, and the problem I still have with the team was the fact that the Raptors were not mentally ready for playoff basketball -- yet again.

Being a veteran team was supposed to mean something. Having playoff/ECF experience was supposed to mean something. Olympic experience was supposed to mean something. Continuity was supposed to mean something. And yet the Raptors came out lethargic and completely **** the bed in the second half of game 1, barely scraped by in game 2 because they got hot from deep and the Bucks missed some open looks, and then didn't even show up to game 3. And that's not to take anything away from the Bucks. They played really well. But the Raptors were and are the better team and should have been able to at least put forward the effort needed to demonstrate that in the first 3 games.

This wasn't the same as getting blown out in games 1 and 2 against Cleveland in the ECF. Cleveland was clearly the better team there. But to be the higher seeded team and get blown out by the Bucks and to be able to only hit 7 field goals in a half TWICE IN THREE GAMES is just not acceptable.

It wasn't the fact that the Raps were down 2-1 in the series, if they'd lost both games 1 and 3 but put forward solid efforts both times and it was just that Milwaukee got hot from deep or that Giannis turned into LeBron junior or whatever, then you would not have observed nearly the level of panic or frustration on this board and in the media that you saw.

This team was supposed to at least compete with Cleveland this year. Not necessarily beat them, but be more competitive than we were last year. After the first three playoff games, there were absolutely zero signs that they were at all ready to do so.

I'm encouraged by last night, and hopefully the Raps can build on this momentum going into Milwaukee for game 6. But after their performance in the first three games, the Raptors absolutely deserved every word that was written or spoken about them based on their atrocious play.

Ya i agree. After all that learning experience and we were still seeing demar and lowry play like inexperienced rookies. It was very disappointing. The bottom line is the team plays off them. If they are playing with a mindset of getting others involved then that becomes contagious. I don't remember the last playoff game where I was impressed with our play. Game 4 was a very unimpressive win imo. I didn't like how the team was playing even though we got the W. We need to play at a level like in game 5 to compete with the top teams.

Yo every single god damn year someone is saving Caseys job.

The fact this man kept Powell out of the rotation is a fireable offense.

If we're maxing out Lowry and Ibaka, we'd better be bringing in Stackhouse at least. There's some skepticism from some to hire an inexperienced coach(even though most championship coaches won their first tile in their first few years), but he seems to play whoever is getting the job done. He hasn't coddled Bruno or anyone else with the 905. That's important. Benching guys for bad play and rewarding good play is what you're supposed to do. Doing anything other than that always sends a bad message.

Not an excuse. Put the game on and they can learn English by listening to Matt and Jack.

Let them near Matt and Jack? I haven't even taught them 37 yet.

Just as an FYI, I was at the game and the chant toward the end was "BUCKS in 6"! Not "Raps in 6", I've seen it posted on the Score app and here on realGM a lot as the incorrect latter.

You couldn't hear this watching that I don't think... but lots of us were chanting "JV, JV..." when he started walking back, he flexed, and the whole place joined in and was chanting his name. Was a cool moment.

Oh, I was talking to my friend like a minute earlier that we should start a Bucks in 6 chant, and then one started by someone else like 1-2 sections over from us so we joined in, perhaps the rest of the arena caught on and figured we were saying Raps

I was wondering how these panels came up in Jurassic Park. All of them seem to be from same source (fonts, colors, sizes etc.). They do not look handmade which led me to believe that someone was just distributing them to whoever wanted to display them. Anyone who was there?
