This is just Stoooooopid. The Bucks are a better team. Time to prove it in game 5.
It’s hard to win a championship.
That a-hole Drake better not show up in Milwaukee. 
I hope he does. He steps out onto the court they can throw his ass out.
Or get Bahktari to put the sleeper hold on him.
This Drake stuff is such a waste of time to cover, but he's made it about him. The NBA does have to get this under control though. He's getting close to the point where they risk him coming onto the court and getting in someone's face to the point where they'll beat the crap out of him. Giannis is poised enough not to respond, but if the Raptors get the Finals, I could see him getting a little too close to Draymond Green or Kevin Durant.
The Reggie Miller/Spike Lee stuff back in the day was fun and good-natured. Spike never left his seat and it didn't seem to be as personal as this Drake stuff is.

While he's pouring 2 beers down his throat.
Tonight we get to see if the Bucks are real or simply a polished version of the 80's Bucks
This reminds me of the 2017 1st round of the playoffs. Bucks go up 2 games to 1 on the Raptors...Bucks whip their ass by around 30 points in game 3, looking to be in complete control. Raptors re-group and proceed to win the next 3 games in a row to win the series. Toronto played better defense, played much stronger on the boards, etc....too familiar....time to stop the bleeding tonight !!!
Fiserve better be rocking....probably won't have a voice tomorrow.
Time is now Bucks !!!
Incredible how Drake has gotten into everyones head. Win the game. That’ll keep him quiet.

It's gotta be 3 beers tonight, right? Progression.
Look for Rodgers to maybe join in this time too. At least he hinted at it. Claims he wasn't "prepared" for it last time.
What was more incredible about Bahktari was those didn’t look like Miller Lites he was pounding. Looked like some type of ale? If it was an IPA he’s the man.

I don't see any indication he's gotten into Giannis' head (or any other Buck for that matter). These guys have people screaming unmentionable things at them probably many times a year. It's just that Drake is famous for making occasionally decent, but mostly forgettable, music, so the camera is on him.
The Drake stuff is more a concern for the security guys. You can't have non-players/non-coaches that close to the action. If you allow him to do it, why can't anyone else whose shelled out thousands for a courtside seat do the same. If he wants to get the crowd going, that's great. Just walk up the aisle away from the court and go crazy. Just don't stop almost onto the court or go and give your coach a back rub. That's risking some Monica Seles-level stuff with other people if they don't police this.
Yeah, touching the coach in any fashion should've brought security.
The problem I see with Drake’s antics is things could escalate and he’s going to piss off the wrong player and they may end up going Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson on him.
Coach Bud was correct a non player or non coach shouldn’t be out on the court or breaking into huddles. I mean WTF? What’s next - is he going to sub himself into the game? Draw up plays on the dry erase board? It’s embarassing.
Reggie Miller said he’s Spike Lee 2.0. Spike would heckle but he never wandered out onto the floor or gave Pat Riley a massage.

Never said anything about players. Was talking about Bucks fans. He’s a complete non factor. He’s a fan. He has zero influence on the game. Nothing. **** Drake.
Win the game.
Fans can hate someone all they want. That ****er needs his ass kicked. Plain and simple.
The older I get...the less I worry about meaningless stuff like Drake being a nob.
Its freeing.
Malcolm Brogdon is in the starting lineup tonight...
This is the first game in a long time where I didn't have a clear prediction going in how they'd play. I've been wrong when I thought I was sure. Most recently, Game 2 of the Boston series where I thought they'd struggle and the last game of this series when I thought they'd show that the Double OT loss was just a blip.
They could blow out the Raptors or get blown out. I guess that's what should make things fun as a fan, but I'm as nervous as I get in my life for unimportant things like sports.
Ok, here we go... take it to ‘em fellas...

I like that move. It makes it much less likely that the Raptors will get uncontested shots to start the game. They may still make shots, but it won't be because Mirotic is a turnstile.
Kawhi getting a foul 15 seconds in sets a tone, especially since Kawhi will struggle going laterally.
But Giannis needs to hit the FTs.
I think Bledsoe may have already done more positive things in the first 90 seconds than he did the entire two games in Toronto.
YESSS GIANNIS!!! Leave the double and look for the cutter!!! That’s how you makes them pay for the extra man!
This should have been over two games ago.....now come Bucks, kick some arse.
0 for 3 from the line for Giannis. I hope this doesn't haunt them at the end. He should have made at least 2 of 3.

It's probably not a coincidence the Raptors go on a mini-run when Mirotic comes in.

Good start, but a long way to go yet.
Giannis is really struggling inside the paint and at the line right now.
Liking the defense. 3 more quarters like that be good.

and ah.....is Giannis worse then Shaq at the free throw line?? Really??
Good first q. Playing with poise. Giannis with that kick out, when he sets up his teammates he needs to go to the rim. On that Brogdon jumper he could have gone to the rim after the pass and it was a lob dunk.
Keep pushing the pace. Run them out of the gym...
Good start. Just have to get Giannis going from a scoring perspective. It's been years since I've seen him miss FTs and short shots like this. He's played great as a distributor, though. He already has 5 assists in 9 minutes.
So good to see Bledsoe do well. And Brogdon is well above his Game 3 performance.
If the Bucks shoot closer to their usual and with a more intense defense, it's looking good to me.

He's always been a decent, but not outstanding, FT shooter. He's shot between 72 and 77 percent from the line each of the last 5 years. He's been short on a lot of them so far.
Bledsoe great so far. Good to see.
Mirotic is ruining this series. Cant shoot and his defense is weak.
Giannis looks tight. Looking to pass out too much and the Free Throws are a huge issue...its really in his head now.
