As opposed to winning this one and closing it out at home?

I would still take TOR. Every game is an independent event and I don't buy that we're the better team.

Will this be the "Giannis game" we are still waiting?

So far we have one "Good Game" (Gm 1), "Up and down stat stuff game" (2), "Solid game" (3), "Awful game" (4).

I think he will have a good game and if we lose badly, he will have a monster Gm 6.

Well, I believe in you. Been saying for a while that I'm buying on Milwaukee, and need to be right so I can bump my posts on the GB.

So, win it for me, guys.

I thought two wins in the series would be playing with house money, and now I really want to win in 6. Damn it, goalposts, stop moving

Jet is going to turn into king villain tomorrow and hit three threes and in general be a pest gathering a few steals. The little fella is going to ignite us.

Henson's greatest contribution to team success is helping players with their contacts. I hope it stays that way.

Alright, you've convinced me. Let's all root for a Bucks loss tomorrow! :roll:

I'm sympathetic to this line of thought. It hurts, a game like that at home.

But you know what?

It was always going to be Bucks in 6. I don't know what time traveler is looking at a photograph to make sure no one is disappearing (it's Thon), but that is the timeline. It's happening. Bucks. In. 6.

I'm not gonna be the guy who says "we lost because of the refs", because, well, we didn't, and there have been quite a few no-calls on Bucks players this series as well. But I will say that I'm getting sick and tired of Derozan and Lowry's incessant flopping. They've gotten calls this way all series, but on Saturday it became borderline ridiculous. Anytime a Bucks players even lightly touches them, they violently throw their head and arms back, and almost always draw the foul. I f*cking cannot stand that sh*t. As proud as I am that the young Bucks do not play that way, it's becoming apparent that they probably need to start doing it too. As sad as it is, it's what the NBA has become. It's what veteran players do. They are soft, and no better than soccer players. The NBA now stands for the National Bushleague Association.

Now, don't get me wrong, there are still NBA stars who play the right way, but Derozan and Lowry are not among them. They're both p*ssies.....there, I said it.

Game 6 is the must win. 5 would be nice but 6 either ends the series or gives you the momentum into game 7. Game 6 is in Milwaukee so it's a nice trade off for the Raps having two home games out of three.

100% agree with you, I want love to see some hard penalties introduced to discourage flopping. I would also love refs to be held properly accountable for being fooled. There's plenty of flopping bitches in the league but Derozan and Lowry are right up there. Trying as hard as I can to be unbiased I really don't believe anyone on the Bucks is guilty of flopping.

You can be a totally biased Bucks fan and still say that none of them flop, because they just don't. There are only a select amount of NBA players who are able to flail their arms at any time, and know a whistle will be blown 80% of the time. I love the NBA, but the league's preferential treatment towards its stars hurts the game as a whole. Yet, it is the stars who bring in the money, so no change should be expected.

Here's my case in point, not necessarily about flopping, but what stars are able to get away with: Game 3 - after calling a TO, Lowry throws a blatant elbow to Delly's face which not even a Raptors fan could say wasn't deliberate. We all saw it, the ref was literally 6 inches away from it, and nothing was called. At the time, we didn't make much fuss because the Bucks were dominating the game. But still....Lowry = star. Now, Game 4 - Thon catches a high pass in the paint, his arms are already up, and he simply turns to put up a shot and gets called for throwing an elbow. Apparently, if you're a nobody, shooting a turnaround jumpshot can be considered an offensive foul. Thon = not a star.

I can think of a LOT of reasons why the Bucks will win this one, HOWEVER I do NOT pay a lot of attention to the NBA or basketball in general and most of those reasons relate to Gordon Gano, and general proximity of basketball teams to Gordon Gano. THEY MAY NOT BE GREAT GUIDES!
