This season is gravy for me after winning a championship but you can see the difference a guy like that makes.

Something about Milwaukee and never winning games when it gets tight.

This is where they miss Brogdon and his ability to create his own shot. Even if playoff Bledsoe was playing, he'd be benched in this moment because he can't run an offense or shoot the ball.

He needs a Garnett/Pierce dynamic. KG led those Celtics in scoring, but Pierce and Allen took over the offense when needed.

I'm not sure if Middleton is a 3rd best player type or better as a 4th, though.

What? Why are Bucks allowed to have the Refs to look at it? They lost the Challenge

I was telling everyone we should've tried moving guys around and signing Jimmy last off-season.

Jimmy has the Kawhi dynamic more then anyone else in the league. Super hot in the playoffs.

If Giannis is a Raptor is he still going to get his ass handed to him by Butler?

F that. Everyone losing their **** with Siakam, I can only imagine the reactions when Giannis shoots 30 percent from the free throw line. He'd be run out of town hahah

I get it, he has some clear flaws. But his positives overwhelming outweigh his poor perimeter and free throw shooting.

Giannis had 6 tos and missed 8 free throws. If they lose this series, it's time to give him the Harden and Dirk treatment. Even Lebron got some of it by 2010 and all 3 of these men had much better playoff showings than Giannis has.

I'm not sure what the Bucks can do to adjust. They need Bledsoe to return and play at his peak. Giannis needs to avoid foul trouble and play 45 minutes(which won't happen since Bud is a Pop disciple), same with Middleton. Make more free throws.

Have Giannis defend Butler down the stretch, maybe?
