PG: Nurse and Starters all star caliber choke job

[ash_k]

this game was costumed-made for Norman (and Marc).

You guys were gifted kawhi. He's the best player.

No, we traded assets for Kawhi, and then more assets for Gasol, and won the championship. There's nothing gifted about it.

My point was, wait until the Bucks actually do something before talking smack. It looks ridiculous and completely tone deaf that you guys are propping up regular season wins against a team that ran off 4 straight wins against you on route to winning a title about 8 months ago.

Spurs weren't trading him to the west. You got lucky.

Yep, every team needs a little luck to win the championship. Doesn't change the fact that the Raptors beat the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals and are NBA champions and the Bucks aren't. But it's ok, I'm sure the Bucks have a "The Raptors got lucky" banner hanging up in the Fiserv Forum.

Lowry/FVV look defeated out there resulting to overdribbling and long 3s because they can’t beat Bledsoe/Hill who are both longer and athletic.

This two PG lineup will be Nurse undoing eventually.

Blame this all on Nurse.

What a terrible take. Nurse managed the bench really well riding Boucher, Hollis Jefferson and Thomas when they were rolling.

Ibaka couldn’t make a shot or hold on to ball. And low and behold he’s the guy open on every possession.

Nurse can’t take Ibaka’s shots for him. Or get Gasol healthy faster.

Not sure serious or trolling.

If you think that loss was on nurse your perspective is way off.

Trying to ride the bench to victory would be a failed strategy. He gave them extended time when they were rolling.

Playing small ball with Ibaka on the bench, which he gave a couple possessions a shot and they failed was not the answer.

How exactly did Nurse blow this game. Enlighten me.

Still don't know how Lowry is on the other side of 30 and doesn't have a floater in his game

Really love how the Bucks posters are in this PG thread!

This game to me sums up how we match-up with the bucks tbh.wete right there, we're really godp but they just have a littl more in the tank with guys like Middleton. We also shut down giannis pretty much and we still lost.

Our offensive woes are a problem, imagine how much worse we'd be with mccaw getting these minutes. Glad mccaw was out so nurse didn't have to embarrass himself.

our starters played one of the worst offensive games of the year while missing key players and they couldn't win without the help of the referees. call me delusional but these bucks don't scare me..they're not the warriors or the heatles...they're very beatable.

He's a bulldog. Not much finesse with a bulldog.

The entire Eastern Conference lucked out when LeBron left to the west coast; both Bucks and Raps included.

[yogimvp]

we'll beat them when it matters.

You mean custom-made?

Or actually costumed-made like Deontay Wilder?!?!?!?

The warriors were a more favorable match up for us tbh. The bucks counter a lot of our strengths.

Report posts if they're trolling. I'll take care of them.

Raptors still playing extremely impressive defense without Kawhi. As suspected, they are going to have trouble scoring on tough defenses without a guy who can control the game and exploit the midrange so effectively.

You can pick whatever narrative you want for this game: Raptors were missing two good players, didn't play well, and kept it close. Giannis didnt play well and Bucks still won by 11 on the road on the second night of a back to back. End of the day I think Toronto can beat anyone in the East in the playoffs but i think those chances are significantly lower against Milwaukee with the Bucks having a decisive edge due to Giannis.

The Bucks are a tier higher than anyone in the East, anyone that says otherwise is lying or doesn't pay attention to the game.

I won't trust until they prove it in the playoffs, Last year was an exception and they got lucky. I say the Bucks will be knockout in 2nd RD

We got what they want. Do you think we will see them around here when the Bucks lose and Giannis bolts outta Mil?

[Ramed Nazored]

Why are people so negative? We just lost to a team that might win 70 games. The Raps have won 17 of 19. It seems like some people expect them to never lose.

Those people are the actual losers. It’s called projection.

I was at the game - amazing atmosphere, nothing but love in that building from our squad.

Ibaka didn’t look well. My feeling is that he’s sick. He just wasn’t present tonight.

We played stretches of absolutely brilliant D. They hit some big shots, benefited from some questionable calls, and showed us all why they might win 70 games. They’re an absolutely elite team and we’re right there with them. I love what Nurse deployed for Giannis. The game was live and a ton of fun. This team believes they can win right until the final horn sounds. I had a blast in there tonight. Gasol would have been great tonight. His hands, passing, and strength would go a long way.

With all due respect Duffman, there is a lot of signature worthy content. I am looking forward to the compilation of Bucks posters and their posts once again.

[soxperry]

All I know is that with Gasol and Powell back, the Bucks aren't strolling into the finals...they're going to have to go through a war first. Even without Kawhi the elite defense is still there....the ability to limit Giannis is still there

This is an appropriate mindset.

Keep in mind Bucks also won the season series last year 3-1.
They also had a 2-0 lead in the playoffs against us and blew it.

The fact of the matter is, we're their fathers. And they know it.
We've eliminated them twice in the last 3 years. And we'll do it again this year. No doubt about it.
