THEY HAVE TO WIN.......period.

I think they have to have Giannis be the creator. Live or die with that. Not Lopez, not Middleton, not Bledsoe, It should be Giannis.
But, the guys that were hot were Middleton and Ilyasova and it seems the Bucks offense left them.

They were hot on catch and shoot. Not on drives.
If I'm a Raptors fan I'm wondering why Van Vliet wasn't in sooner. Green = Mirotic.
That was massive from Middleton. It's basically a bonus 3 points
I can't express in words how much nicer it is to watch the game with the sound off. I wish I could get the Bucks radio broadcast or Marques Johnson and Pashcke.
65-52
Oh my, I did not expect this. This is so winnable.
Good to see Bledsoe hit that pullup. That's his game.
Well, it doesn't seem like anyone will be in foul trouble and defense is a constant. Just at least play intense defense - every second.
Terrible defense after the timeout. Lowry and Van Vliet can't be left alone on the 3.
Why did Giannis pass that? He was at the basket. Go up and make the officials make a call if it's blocked.

Maybe the FT problems are getting to him.

Exactly.
Why take Giannis out? Giannis on the help defense is what's kept Kawhi in check.
That was a terrible offensive possession.
15 to 10 just like that.
Giannis has to shoot No more throwing wild passes out when you are 3 feet from the rim. Shoot the ****ing ball.
15 to 5 points. What a shitty end both to the quarter. That is obviously very possibly the difference between winning the series and not. It all started when they gook Giannis out for a possession and then Giannis didn't shoot near the rim 3 times in a row.
I don't believe this.
Putting them right back in the game.
So the best half court offense was a Giannis 3.
WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO - GIFT WRAP THE GAME!!!???
Leonard is a dead man walking...up tempo the 4Th and Bucks win.
Even worse now. Brogdon doesn't block out.
5 point lead.
Epic choke job at the end of the 3rd quarter.
10-0 run in 2 minutes

Ok. I'm just going to tell myself that the Bucks are up 5 still. I have to be the glass half full guy as someone said earlier.
I'll ask again. Giannis is 24 years old, healthy, and if he played the entire 4th quarter would play 42 minutes. This is ****ing stupid.
Is it just me, or are the coaches interviews to start the quarter annoying and pointless?

I don't understand the logic of sitting Giannis at this point. Their defense goes from the best in the league to middle of the pack when he sits. He's 24 years old and this is a win or go home game.
phaedrus posted:Look at all the Leonard FT's.
He has 9, Giannis has 8.
The Bucks have missed 8 FTs.
The reffing has been fine.
They are +9 in Giannis' 30 minutes and -9 in the 7 minutes he's sat out. LeBron James played all 48 minutes in several elimination games. Don't take him out at this point if he's healthy.
