Brook Lopez looks like he sat in the back of the class and chewed on paper.

Do you know what misleading means? Info can be accurate but misleading.
The game was won in the 4th.
That single sentence he wrote doesn't offer any conclusion that is misleading. All it says is the Bucks played better after the 1st quarter.
Except that's not really the case though, which is why it's misleading. The teams were almost exactly equal in the second and third, a bounce here and there, a call here and there and it could be the Raptors by 2 in those quarters.
The Bucks played better in the 4th quarter by a large margin.

Eh, you're being a little pedantic. It's technically true. Which is the best kind of true
It's not like he said the Bucks dominated the Rapotrs in the 2nd and 3rd quarters
Bucks sealed the game in the 4th. Both of you are right
LKN wrote:oof... the Bucks played 7 different guys over 25 minutes.
The Raptors bench played a combined total of 30 minutes and 4 of their starters played over 40 minutes.
They have to slow the pace or something... No way can they keep that up all series and win

It's one thing to be objective.
It's an entire thing to bend over in the general board and embarrass the rest of us Raptors fans.
If Nurse didn't screw with the rotation that worked in the 1st half this would have been an easy win & even Bucks fans know this. You sure as hell didn't expect us to have the lead for 38 minutes of the game. We let it slip away, it's as simple as that.

Wait a minute, you think HE's the one embarrassing Raptor fans?

The Raptors shot well for much of the game... they just ran out of gas. I'm not sure they are going to be able to keep up with the pace the bucks are pushing. They need see if they can slow the game down
The Raptors shot well for 1 quarter.
From the 2nd to the 4th quarter:
Raptors shot 31%
Bucks shot 42%
Forget facts.
Let's just crown Milwaukee champs after game one. Pack up your bags guys.

Raptors fans have been surprisingly measured in this thread. It's Bucks fans that are flying in with the nonsensical hot takes like "Raptors shot lights out yet Bucks still won". Some of this stuff is pure comedy.
Uhh what? YOu have raps fans in here saying Lopez is a bum and this game was a fluke completely ignoring Lopez had a number of games just like that in the regular season. Don't sit there and act like Raps haven't had any nonsensical hot takes. You guys are just as guilty. Get off the high horse.Raps in 4 wrote:buckboy wrote:Matty wrote:

Both are embarrassing comments. One is factually incorrect while the other can't even be proven incorrect because it's referring to a hypothetical.buckboy wrote:Raps in 4 wrote:buckboy wrote:

I'm not even saying anything about Raptor fans in general, but saying dumb stuff like if Nurse changes his rotations, this is an easy win is far more embarrassing than anything the other dude said.
Because you keep ignorantly calling him a scrub. Lopez is in no way a scrub. You are just embarrassing yourself with these ignorant hot takes.itsme23 wrote:I’m not sure why people are upset about the Lopez comments. He’s having a great year and playing awesome.
But he simply is not an elite player, just having one of those amazing years. Ala Channing Frye, Andrew Bogut, JR Smith, Derrick Fisher etc.
Scrub going off. Good for him. He will get paid due to this series.

From the start of the 2nd quarter to the end of the game:

The Bucks outplayed the Raptors for 3/4 quarters, and still only won it in the final 2 minutes.
Toronto shot fine from the outside... their percentage sucked because the Bucks blocked 11 shots.
Take away those blocks and they shot 49%.
That was my point... their outside shooting was fine
A blocked shot is a missed shot. It doesn't matter how a shot was missed.
