Leonard gets away pushing off and now Giannis has 2...
By the way, what does Reggie Miller add to a broadcast? He doesn't add much insight and he just says things that he thinks are funny, but really aren't.
Lol and I’m bitching about the refs? What a joke
What the hell is going on?? The Bucks are so out of sync......
This is pathetic... we haven’t seen them play like this in a long time. They’re completely rattled. They’re screwing up the pick and roll for ****’s sake! How can you screw up the most common play in basketball???
The Raptors are completely owning them right now and the Bucks confidence is shot. For the first time maybe this year it looks like the Bucks don't believe they are going to win anymore. Even after Game 1 of the Boston series, they still believed in themselves (even though the Paul Pierces of the world didn't).
This is different. They look hesitant and are playing scared.
At this point, they do NOT look like a team that can beat the Warriors. But then again, neither do the Raptors.

Middleton is almost single handedly keeping them in it.
Is Reggie Miller a Raptors announcer? Every close play is a foul on Giannis.
Bledsoe is 10 for 43 from the floor in this series. He's 2 for 17 from 3. Why are they not trying Connaughton.
And then a terrible shot clock violation.
No chatter about refs. Bucks are getting calls. This is going to be a close game.
They’re not playing smart basketball and they’re not putting forth the effort on defense. They’re giving up the penetration and then not getting to the rotations. It’s almost like they’re saying, “I’m going to try something here...” and doing stupid shit. Mirotic trying to shoot 5 threes a minute, Brogdon plowing into the lane.
They've definitely let the pressure get to them in this game...
Bledsoe and Brogdon have both been awful. 2 for 14.
Down 15 points. The Raptors act like they know its over too.
The Bucks were an overtime period away from going up 3-0 and I wouldn't bet on them to win the series at this point.
This is embarrassing at this point.
****ing embarrassing effort.
I'd bet on the Raptors to win this in 6 games right now. Someone convince me I'm overreacting.
Time to see the wizard and get some courage!
You are. This is almost all home cooking. They’re playing to the crowd and the same would happen at Fiserv for the Bucks.
I'd like to see them make a run to get this close enough to see if the Raptors get a little tight, but I don't see that happening tonight.
I was going to post at half that I was hoping to see the Bucks come out and smoke them in the third quarter and show they were a real Finals threat. Instead they shrunk (at least everyone except Middleton and Giannis).
On pace to give up a 125 points to a team with its best player clearly hobbled.
This may be one of the most disheartening losses in a while.
He didn't almost airball that one. Reggie Miller has really gone out of his way to criticize Giannis at every point.
Turn out the lights. This one is over.
By the way, how is that a foul on Giannis?
Really just a shit effort on both ends of the court. Amazing turn of events. Bucks a couple of 3pt shots away from a 3-0 lead and it’s looking like 2-2 with all the momentum in Toronto’s favor.
They are getting beat by Powell and Van Vliet.
Other than Giannis and Middleton (and maybe Lopez), the rest of the team has looked G league quality.
If the Bucks don't win Game 5 in Milwaukee, they may lose by 30 in game 6 in Toronto.
Not yet ready for prime time.
Bucks have a major opportunity ahead of them. Teams up 2-0 win 96% of the series. You do not want to make the list of the 4%.
Bucks came out with no fire and intensity. Just a complete embarrassment tonight. This is why the haters and naysayers don’t buy in. You had a chance to close them out at home and now you are giving the Raptors hopes.
Bucks have already waved the white flag by taking Giannis out with 8 minutes left.
Honestly I suit up Sterling Brown in game 5 and sit Bledsoe.

Giving them hope? The Raptors will favored to win the series now after this game. Every player besides Middleton and Giannis has looked scared and played like shit.
If you'd have told me before the game that at midway through the 4th quarter that Giannis and Middleton would have 52 points on 19-31 from the floor and the Raptors starters would have a total of 60 I would have thought the Bucks would have won by more than 20.
Bledsoe has been garbage the entire series. He’s a playoff killer.
Brogdon picked a bad time to have his worst game as a pro
How does Connaugton not get more minutes?

The Bucks actually lead 12-5. They came out hot.
Bucks last 8 quarters are extremely disappointing.
Anything can happen now & I don't know how the Bucks will respond.
Memories of all those 80's Bucks teams are coming back....Just very disappointed in their play when I know they're better than this.
I know you say never give up, but I don't see the logic of bringing back Giannis down 17 with 6 minutes left.
They are better than this. A lot better.
Just when people finally start to give them their props they piss down their leg. Perhaps that’s what they need. A humbling experience.
All I know is the series is now officially up for grabs.

That's my thought. Just good enough to beat the mediocre teams and tease you into thinking they can beat the elite teams.
