I honestly wouldn't even take +17.5.


Why man?


We clearly looked like the better team last game, we came out with more aggression, won the 1st quarter, and then lost every other quarter

we can argue that it took an epic collapse (no fgs cept lowry) in the 4th for them to win - so one can assume we win game 2 with that in mind

But i think we may have lost that surprise opportunity - the bench lineup, the late time outs, nurse coughed it up

You can also argue that Bucks were rusty from taking a week off and then looked like the fresher team in the 2nd half.

If nothing else, we need to play with more energy (especially the bench guys) just rebounding the damn ball. We did alright against the best rebounding team in the league last round, how did we let Brook freaking Lopez get 4 putbacks?

Maybe having 2 game threads will be the key to success.

Need DG and Gasol to step it up in the offensive end. No FVV/Lowry on floor together. More bench productivity. No more than 2 bench players on same time.

If Kawhi commits to a 5 year contract this offseason we're winning at least one championship the next five years. I would put money on that.

this literally might be the toughest year to win a ring for us, philly went all in and will probably lose a player. Boston will probably implode and start a semi rebuild, milwaukee has like 4 key guys going into free agency, not sure they will pay them.

Siakam's improvement come next seasons playoffs would also make us much better.

I wonder if its feasible to shut everyone else down, and just let Giannis go for 40 every night.
It would certainly help to fatigue him, and throw the Bucks' secondary players out of rhythm.

Green finally breaks out of slump.

Scores 16 pts, 4/7 3pts, 6/10 overall.

Lowry comes back to earth with 15 pts 8 assists, but draws multiple charges in clutch moments

Gasol hits 2/4 three pointers and plays good defence

Kawhi becomes efficient again

Raps win 108-100

Lowry and Gasol are on the downslope though.

downwards compared to what tho, what they are doing now they could easily do next season. With Gasol I think a training camp and a full season finding ways to get him going a bit more would do wonders for him.
