Need Miami to beat the Bucks for us. Also want the Lakers to win the west. Ideally that's the best shot for us to win another championship.

Even if we don't win our Series I just don't want Bucks to do good :cry:

Because it's going be a dark day for me if I have to choose between Celtics vs Bucks :cry:

Dude we're beating the Celtics. Don't worry. If we lose to the Celtics then we were never going to beat the bucks or the LA teams in a series anyways.

I also don't think Giannis would come here if we lose in the 2nd round.

Miami gets so much easy offense off hard, purposeful cutting off-ball. Don't see nearly enough of that with the Raptors which is a disappointment.

I know we will win but just trying to be a realist in case we end up losing to them. I hate both teams and me wanting Bucks to lose has nothing to do with wanting Giannis. My intuition for the past 2 years is that Bucks is not a better team with Middleton and chosing to let go of Brogdon is the worst idea. Thou today Middleton is kinda making me eat crow :cry:

I personally would like to see the lakers win if we're out. Clippers have too many **** on their team except for Kawhi. And obviously can't root for the Bucks or the Celtics.

Watching the Heat execute on offense is an absolute pleasure.

It feels like the final 4 East teams have equal chances of beating each other.

As I've been saying all year, Milwaukee doesn't have the talent to win a title. Look at that roster, it's terrible. Giannis is way too limited to carry a roster like that against playoff defenses.

Connaughton, Korver(despite hitting 3s tonight), Divincienzo aren't rotation players on a title team. They're 10th-12th man, at best.

If they get past Miami, they'll probably beat Boston, but can't see how they beat the Raps or either LA team IMO.

I know it's blasphemous to say on this board, but Giannis is incredibly overrated.

Spoelstra should be attacking Korver on every play. The Warriors used to do it when he was with the Cavs, they were relentless. Brad Stevens did the same against Belinelli that year he got hot for Philly, just attacked him on every play.

You can't let players like that stay on the floor.

Bledsoe is the only perimeter player on their roster who can penetrate. It's impossible to break down a defense without it.

Even a Norman Powell would be huge for their offense.

How about Norman and OG for the Bucks offense? :lol:
