Eastern Conference Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors

[adambr2]

I can't tell you how much I want to sock Drake in his stupid ugly face.

 

If we win this, I hope so much that Giannis gives him something good.

[PinaMadness]

Free throw shooting will be the death of the Bucks yet.

[adambr2]

Sure looked to me like Gasol just shoved Ersan in the chest.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If Giannis is going to miss FTs make it worth and chuck one at Drake's teeth. So maybe aim for the guy next to him.

[OnTheBlack]

I apologize for even asking who was more annoying. The answer is always Drake.

[adambr2]

Hey guys! Maybe be aware of the shot clock? Cool?

[OnTheBlack]

Sure looked to me like Gasol just shoved Ersan in the chest.

 

 

These refs are awful. They've missed some calls on us, but that one was just painfully obvious. Just a straight up push....

[adambr2]

Ersan has got to hit that shot. Another huge swing because we blow an open 3 only for them to come back and hit it on the other end.

 

Bench really letting us down today.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Toast. We can't shoot. They hit everything when left open.

No. Not defending the 3 will. Another 20% from the line isn't enough points with all they give up on open looks from the perimeter. Could see this coming all season long. Can they overcome it? I suppose. But it will be why they lose, if they lose.

[PinaMadness]

The energy gap between these two teams is monumental. On both ends of the floor. Sickening. It's like the Bucks are saying "just wait until we get home."

[FVBrewerFan]

Never twll me again playoff pressure isn't a "thing." Too many guys freaking out, doing stupid things. Just not running the offense, our of position too often on defense. Tip of the hat to Toronto, but this is not a good luck.

[adambr2]

Middleton shooting lights out today is the only reason this isn't a straight blowout.

It isn't though. They've done that all year, with the difference being they've made their own threes. They are bricking a ton of wide open looks. This game is like most of their games if they're hitting half of those.

[adambr2]

Dear God in heaven, do we have a point guard on this team that can hit a bunny?

[young guns]

Well if we are just going to miss open shots then we might as well skip the 6th and board the plane to Milwaukee.

[adambr2]

3 Bucks around 1 Raptor and we still get beat for the reload.

The shooting percentage is practically even right now.34.6 to 34.4 from three, 46.9 to 46.7 from two. Free throws are 68.4 to 88.5

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This game is still within range if we can get any kind of 8-0 run together.

Toronto 10/30 from 3, its not the reason no matter how many times you say it.

But when they lost 22 games during the regular season, why? Because they didn't defend the 3 and the other team hit while they didn't. Defend the 3, even if it gives up a few more in the paint and this is still a game. Mirotic backing off Powell to just let him take it, isn't good defense or tactics and you'll never convince me otherwise despite going 60-22. Eventually a team is going to hit and hit and hit and you'll lose 4 of 7 playing this way.

Sure, its the NBA. Bucks need a quarter where they're red hot from 3. Otherwise this series is going 7.

[adambr2]

Mirotic is terrible. Finally forces a turnover and donates it right back.

[adambr2]

Not being able to pull out double OT the other day could end up being far more costly than we ever imagined. Reminds me of Game 4 of the NLCS when we were deep in extra innings and had a chance to put the Dodgers on their backs and go within a game of punching our tickets and we just couldn't do it. We all shrugged it off and moved onto the next game but we never recaptured the momentum after that.

[adambr2]

Lol. This is over, fellas.
