Giannis officially out for Game 5. Not surprising, given that he couldn't push off the ankle two days ago. 

I think Miami ends this tonight (with one possible caveat). Spoelstra is a great coach and he will not let Middleton beat them again. He'll probably draw Adebayo who will clamp down on him. Bledsoe is unlikely to get big points as they'll just sag off of him. 

The one way the Bucks could extend this is to get the Villanova title game version of DDV.  He's the one guy they have with some room to take off. I don't think it's likely, though.

Throw in Rollie and Pinkneys almost perfect game and I'm in.

Bledsoe playing decent, but when you’re 0-5 and 4-6 from the line you’re not doing enough. Middleton with 3 turnovers. 

Miami just goading the Bucks Gs into turnovers. They need to put Connaughton on the bench and leave him there, leave Korver on the Bench, and do something about the ball defense. Or the season is over...

Bledsoe with good D but he hasn't hit any shots.  With no room for error he's on his way to an 8 point game.  He just underperforms in the playoffs year in and year out.  If he's our starting PG, I don't think we'll ever win a ring. 

Bledsoe has a lot more value in the Western conference in playoff games. He's a great guy for the Lakers, Jazz, Mavs, Nuggets etc. to have because he's as good as anyone in the league playing on-ball defense against guys like Harden, Lillard, Westbrook, Curry. In the East, you have Kemba Walker as that type of player.

I like Bledsoe, but I agree with you.  Once he hits a shooting slump, it's a slump of massive proportions.  He's played hard tonight, but his shooting right now is so poor that it makes him a liability.

Hopefully he comes out of it, but it's doubtful.
