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. 

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...  

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). 

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.

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.

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. 

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