Pretty cool guitar rendition of the National Anthem to start things off. I have a feeling the Bucks are going to put this one away quickly.

Orlando's shooting has been terrible, as has their ball handling.
Giannis hits his first 2 FTs. Let's see if he ca keep it up.
DDV has flashes, but he does just enough to let the other team hang around. Careless turnovers, missed FTs, fouling 3 point shooters.
Middleton is now 20 for 60 from the floor in the series. He was 5 for 5 in the first 6 minutes of the 4th quarter of Game 4 (and basically put that game away for the Bucks). Other than that, he's 15 for 55.
Just as I type that they go on a 14-0 run. Were those Middletons first points today?
Bucks go up 13, take Giannis out, have two terrible turnovers, a Matthews air ball, and the Magic get it back to 6.
Up 17 at the half.
Middleton with 11-7-4 in 15 minutes.
Giannis with 22-9-2 in 17 minutes.
Time to blow this wide open in the 3rd and let Sterling Brown play the whole 4th.
Watching the first half the Bucks didnt look all that impressive, yet here they are with a near 70 point half and a 17 point lead.
They were impressive when 34 was on the floor.
This is an NBA title level team if Middleton plays like this.
They are a 50 win, 2nd round playoff team when Middleton plays like he did in the first 3.75 games of this series.
Down to 13 as Bucks are sleepwalking a bit the last few minutes.
Giannis air balls another FT. He's been the best player in the playoffs and he may have more air ball FTS than the rest of the players combined.
Air ball free throw....... and misses the 2nd as well.
And DDV on cue has an another out of control turnover and it's back down to 14.
That flagrant on the Magic's Ross is a terrible call. It was a hard NBA foul. Not a flagrant. He was going after the ball.
Bucks give up a 10-1 run to let the Magic make this interesting. Just an awful end to the quarter.
Absolutely pathetic right now. Down to 3
Giannis deservies some blame for picking up a really stupid 5th foul.

Of course, the fact that the officials called two flops on offensive fouls for Giannis plays into this also.
They're not going to get away with playing like this against miami.
Bucks win the final 4 games by 15, 14, 15, and 14 and it felt very underwhelming.
I mean, let’s be real they haven’t played their A game yet and they won 4 of 5 from Orlando by double digits.
Miami is a whole lot better but bring em on.
