Eastern Conference | Round 1 | (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs. (6) Chicago Bulls (Bucks WIN 4-1)

Bulls have 2 points from their bench so far? Is that an accurate stat or is ESPN box score broken?

Bucks are mentally tough. But they'll need to get Middleton back (and maybe Hill) to have a realistic chance at a repeat, IMO.

They have that championship mindset though.

Portis with enough hustle for both teams alone.

Bucks are doing exactly what I hoped. Focus on D and lower the pressure to score.

You can't let Grayson Allen basically go coast to coast on you. Come on, Bulls.

Why are the bulls so bad offensively?

they are getting KM back 2nd round. 1st series is over but if im bud i might intentionally lose few games so he can get prepared.

Looks like the rumors of the Bucks demise were greatly exaggerated, I'll be the first to admit that I counted them out once the Middleton new broke.

Game 2 will more than likely be the Bulls best effort.

Bucks are focused. Took them 2 games, but they look like themselves tonight.

Can't get Bucks in 6 without two losses.

I said two days ago that last loss was good for the bucks. They needed a slap in the face, had been sleepwalking too long.

bucks basically treated it as practice scrim they were never serious and took it easy. but when KM got hurt, they realized they had to get serious and we are seeing a blowout.

See last postseason. Slow series starts, adjust & win.

Damn that was some vintage Dream Spin Shake by Brook. Nice.

Can't get Bucks in 6 without two losses.

if im bud, i would consider dragging to game 7 so KM can get back. sweeping next 3 is actually worse for bucks bc they meet next round sooner.

rofl no

risking a game 7 loss for better rest would be dumb

Really surprised Giannis didn't decide to cook Caruso there, but nice pass out for three

Profound23 · Post #1280 » by **Profound23** » Sat Apr 23, 2022 1:29 am

Remember these touch fouls on Giannis at the end of the game when people are whining the refs won't call him for #6.

They keep calling these BS fouls on him early in all 3 games.

Who wins the series?
