The FTs are obviously becoming a huge problem. Giannis looks like he wants to be anywhere but at the line right now.
Bucks defense and rebounding is awful right now.
Why does Bledsoe shoot ?
BRogdon is clanking too
This is a really bad sign that the Raptors are bordering on a double digit lead without Leonard going anything. And Bledsoe continues to struggle from 3 and from the line. He's almost to the point where he's going to be unplayable. Connaughton is a better option right now.
Brogdon is rattled out there. He hasn’t been close tonight, just out of sorts.
I love it when Kawhi gets something blocked they look incredulous they don't get call. If they called that stuff, Giannis would have 14 FTs already (and probably miss half of them anyway).
Giannis should have 25 FTs a game the way he is hacked and grabbed.
Yup. Brogdon is off.
Middleton has been fantastic.
Don't like seeing the Raptor offensive rebounds.

Bledsoe, Brogdon, and Mirotic all look rattled. It's almost like the moment is too big for them. Never expected that from Brogdon.
Gotta give Toronto credit. They are getting contributions from multiple role players while Bledsoe, Brogdon, Mirotic, Lopez, Etc... are sucking it.
Easy pick and pops against a pussy soft Bucks defense.
Ibaka is killing them when matched up on Lopez. They may have to play DJ Wilson. When Ibaka gets going he's killed the Bucks in the past.
Middleton has saved their ass tonight... he’s the only guy not struggling with the pace and pressure of the game right now.
That’s not a foul... good ****ing grief...
Down double digits to a team that has gotten 7 points from Siakam and Leonard.
How can you commit that foul with 2 seconds left.
If the Bucks lose by 2, remember that play. That was incredibly stupid.
WHAT IN THE **** IS MIDDLETON DOING???????
One thing hasn’t changed, Middleton is a stupid basketball player.
He just 100% brainfarts sometimes. Like cognitive thought decides to take a leave of absence.
Have the Bucks played a worse last 6 quarters??
FML....
Extremely disappointed in Bucks play right now.
Bud needs to show he can adjust rather than relying on the ABA strategy of just jacking it up.
Lowry gets 6 FT attempts in the final minute of the half. Bucks not playing well but the officiating is an absolute joke

And then he gift wraps them 2 points.
Kyle Lowry has 18 points and 4 assists on 4 of 7 from the floor and 2 of 4 from three.
Bledsoe and Brogdon have 3 points combined on 1 of 10 from the floor (and 0 of 5 from 3). Ibaka's been great tonight, but it's the difference in point guard play that is the difference in this game.
Don't start whining about the refs. Looks to me like they're letting em play. I'm good with that.

Middleton's call was obvious.
Bledsoe has owned Lowry in the past and is just getting dominated in this series. It’s like Terry Rozier last year all over again. He is completely in the shitter right now.
He’s been so solid for them in the regular seals but come playoff time Bledsoe is a choking dog. He’s honestly one of the least clutch playoff guys I’ve ever watched.

The moment appears to be too big from some of their players. Bledsoe, Mirotic, and Brogdon have just wilted. Never would have predicted that from Brogdon.

I think you need to have a very quick hook and give Connaughton more minutes.
The problem is once you do that, Bledsoe's confidence is probably shot for a while. And we have him for 4 more years on his extension.
Lopez has had a hot hand in earlier games. Feed him! And the Raptors are getting too many offensive boards. We need shooters!
Well then **** him. Bledsoe singlehandedly cost them the playoff series last year and he’s fast becoming that guy in this series too. He’s playing like a goddamn D league player. Man up Bledsoe! Or sit his ass on the bench I don’t care.
WTF happened to the defense??
No idea. Toronto has them rattled right now. Get aggressive and fight back

You can't play him against Ibaka. It's a terrible matchup for him when Ibaka gets it going from outside.
