Bucks look very dangerous, especially with Allen playing like this.

Liking them to repeat if they are relatively healthy, although the Celtics will be a huge challenge.

Yes.

He’s easily up there in that top 5 conversation. Even when his shot isn’t falling he’s an absolute game changing menace on that end. Still doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how talented and pathological he is on D

I find Derozen to be a very likeable guy, but he just sucks come playoff time. It's been over a decade and people still act surprised about it.

Demar has played fine. It’s the bucks’ defensive adjustments that were made that changed the series. They load up on him and require him to kick it out to the corner regularly. The problem is, that person in the corner is no longer Lonzo Ball. It’s someone who can’t shoot for ****.

As a bulls fan I’m not really disappointed in him, they’re making him give up the ball. It’s more so exposing how bad our 3PT shooting is (and the bench scoring in general)

He averages 22 on 8-19 in the playoffs for his career, so it's a scarily typical game for him.

What a game from the young man

No skill. One trick pony

Man imagine what kind of stats a skilled player could put up if they tried

This season, on long 2 point jump shots 16 feet and longer, Antetokounmpo is a better shooter than:

Luka Doncic
Stephen Curry
Jason Tatum
Anthony Davis
Lebron James
Jimmy Butler
Zach Lavine
Karl Anthony-Towns
James Harden
Kyrie Irving

And some call him unskilled?

The only reason a guy like Jrue isn't DPOY is he needs to save some energy for the offensive end. The dude can do everything Smart can do and more. That is no knock on Smart, he's an absolute monster and an incredible defensive player. But Jrue is just something else.

That's not fair to Smart. Jrue is a rookie compared to Smart at flopping and at taking dirty shots at opposing players.

He can't be the best player on a title-winning team. He's a very good player, but limited.

Because he does it on a WELL below league average 50.5TS%, 5 points below his career average. He's managed to boost his overall efficiency over the last three seasons, and it's not carrying over to his first playoff appearance since his 2019 campaign with San Antonio.

Winner of this series was always going to get spanked by the Celtics next round. No Middleton, no chance for this Bucks team.

Yikes man, is he the only star who runs into heavily favored teams and then gets smoked.
Like many have before him and will after him.

seasons in which the lebrons cavs rope a doped them to a top seed only to pile on downfalls to heavily favored lebron teams.
So we trashing the guy for 22ppg on 50.5 TS%?
his team didnt have enough, neither did those raptors team with dwayne casey.

Bulls deeply miss Lonzo. His impact is underrated badly.

Yes. Because when a guy is at that level and wants to be considered a legitimate difference maker, a superstar, the bar is higher. We're like two months removed from Bulls fans and Derozan MVP chatter.

Who wins the series?
