Eastern Conference Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors


homer

Giannis is the MVP, he's not the best player in the NBA yet. He's got to be able to knock down the open shots on a consistent basis for him to take the last step.

 

This. The two things don't need to be synonymous. If Giannis never develops another ounce of jump shot than he has today, he can still be who he is, still be an MVP, and the Bucks can still win a Championship. If I were Giannis, I'd worry more about being who I am and team success than trying to mirror some other great player in the game's history.

If they play like this for 3 more quarters, they'll win. Lowry, Powell, Gasol and VanVleet are not good enough to make it rain at 70% from 3 all game.

Oh, I'm sure they will. Toronto will wear down in the second half.

Giannis needs to calm down. He's not looking for the open man, he's making sloppy passes again, and collectively the team needs to start rebounding much better to prevent the reloads.

We just need to stay in it and wear them out with our bench. Hopefully pull away in the 3rd quarter as has been a theme in these post season series.

 

Powell killing us again. Baffling to me why he hasn't moved into the starting rotation for them.

Absolutely. A jumper just makes his normal game that much more dangerous as they can't just sit and wait for him. I don't know why him improving his jumper=playing like Kobe or playing ISO ball.

 

Anyway, most great players come in without a great jumper and they improve it as they go along. I'm confident he'll do the same.

Getting slaughtered on the glass. Not being aggressive going for boards, not taking care of the ball, and keeping up our poor playoff FT rate.

 

If they continue to play like they have in the 2nd there is still ample time to blow this series.

I cringe a little bit with every Bledsoe shot. Even wide open I have absolutely zero confidence in him hitting anything right now. Total rally killing swing as he blows a chance to pull within 2 on a wide open 3, then they get 3 on the other end. Then he blows a FT. Dude is just atrocious. Like unplayable.

 

Trouble today is Brogdon isn't any better.
