If Raptors make it to the Finals I think realgm might crash

We need a vet PG.

And another star to come with Durant.

You might be right. It's gonna be interesting to see how Milwaukee handles the pressure tonight. Will they play desperate or poise? Giannis might look to be more aggressive but if Toronto keeps building that wall in the paint then it will be useless unless he finds rhythm in that jumper. Middleton and those other guys are basically gonna have to get it done or its a wrap

That’s great and all but if Durant comes here and we don’t get another star/vet PG, we are stuck in the middle again.

Either Durant and we in and or yeah, if no Durant sure, just keep rebuilding

Idk if we'd be in the middle, just wont be a clear favorite to get the eat. Tbh, I don't think Durant + Kyrie is a clear favorite either.

It's likely because I don't care for Kyrie at all.

Bucks are hitting shots and leading by 5, but they are clearly still shook. No ball movement, no cutting, hot potato, confusion, etc. If the shots stop falling, it's going to get ugly quick.

If they don't extent the lead to double-digits heading into the 4th, there's no way they come out victorious.

They're gonna get real tight down the stretch with their two non-shooters. Giannis has been exposed in this series. Bledsoe too but that was to be expected. Raptors are just a smarter and more versatile team.

Giannis is doing a really good impersonation of John Starks, 1994 Finals, Game 7

Marv's call on the Giannis "RE-JECT-ion!" was classic
