Wow? Not cool
If anyone needed further proof that Casey is in over his head come playoff time and has absolutely no real gameplan at all, getting outcoached by Jason Kidd should cover it.
Assuming they eventually figure things out and win in 7 again, that's cute and all but his inability to make basic adjustments ensures that this team will never truly be a threat with him at the helm.

Has it? Bucks just blew them out with Middelton being a non-factor on offense and Derozan and Ibaka showing up. At least in the Pacers series it was close despite having the Trash Bros.

He is being passing it all season.
It just with only 2 of the Bucks big 3 healthy he has had to score a lot more.

If Lowry is still succumbing to playoff jitters in the first round I'd hate to see him in the Finals. He might not score a single point until game 4.

He did punch Giannis as well just before the tackle.

I wonder if LeBron wishes he had Andrew Wiggins instead of KLove....

HOW DO YOU PLAY SHOOK
You've had years and years and years
And years of playing basketball
I'd say NCAA crowds are more crazier than NBA crowds
Gtfo shook raptors , Cavs would sweep you

Not the appropriate response. I don't think a premeditated shove while someone is shooting a jumper is ever acceptable. But yeah the play before that is fucked up too. All around not cool

God dont remimd me
We had the same discussuon last post season complete with Cavs will sweep you talk. Too early to know how it will shake out
Hah, when I see a superstar in the making or even perhaps future best player in the league I want him on my team.
I think many of my Wisconsin sports friends are going to start watching the Bucks again. Giannis and new Stadium should generate a lot of buzz.
I know. I'm just joking... and worried he'll probably leave before winning something for Milwaukee.

Middleton has 9 assists, I think you're underrating what he did.
Either way, last year, no one on the Raptors looked decent after game 1. Everyone was trash. Everyone.
Tonight, there are some definite lessons, and certain players showed up. DeRozan showed up. The Raptors have to adjust to how the Bucks blocked his access. Both Ibaka and JV for a bit showed up. The main issue there was Monroe feasts on Ibaka at center and JV at center means the ball movement leading to Snell or Brogdon 3s became too difficult to overcome.Tucker did a decent job on defense, although it might be worth considering putting him on one of Snell/Brogdon.
Lowry's size, and even Corey Joseph's, seemed to make things really difficult for both of them in terms of shooting. Playing Powell for that guard lineup might easily be a better alternative, given that Powell produced more field goals than Corey Joesph in faaaar less minutes, and is larger.
If necessary, I'd rather they try the lineups they were using when Lowry was out. The Joeseph/DeRozan/Tucker or Carroll/Ibaka/JV and
Joseph/DeRozan/Tucker or Carrol/Patterson/Ibaka lineups were pretty effective, where DeRozan was handling the ball more.
Playing the "draw free throws" game was far more effective. The Bucks kill on transition, kill every time they're given the space to run against a defense that isn't set. The Raptors making their free throws and focusing on that aspect would slow the game down far more.
Also, play Carroll less ffs.
Dunleavy played really fucking dirty that entire series
Don't worry, youll always the new DLeague team going in Oshkosh.
That would be Mosgov.
Why you gotta do Lebron like that? He's gonna make 10 finals in a row.

I'm a spurs fan but I've said it all year-our record is fraudulent. We are a first/second round exit at best.
What else did he do? Hate dirty players

Have also got a lot of flukey miracle comeback games or other teams totally choking against us and we take advantage. I've watched all our games and I think I've seen them be actually impressive maybe 4-5 games. A lot of this team needs to be cut

To be fair,outside of Middleton's shooting, the Bucks had an almost perfect game.
The triumphant return of play-off Delly, Brogdon and Monroe making their play-off debuts in style,Giannis having a coming out party.
Even Midds on what looked like an off night had a lot of good passes and avoided turnovers(both of which were problems for him lately).
(Also holy shit it took Monroe until his 7th season in the league to play in the play-offs.)

They always manage to be impressive against the Rockets though... smh
Yeah, but seriously, most people don't realize how often, especially in the December-February stretch of the season, that Kawhi saved them out of nowhere by going nuclear on both ends in the 4th quarter. IT and Russ got a ton of attention, because ppg makes it easy to quantify, but Kawhi is clutch with defensive stops, steals, blocks, points, etc.

On the other hands, Ginobili and Pau off the bench, and the way Pau is shooting 3s now, have been surprisingly great for the Spurs.
Also, Pau shooting 3s. MDA was once again ahead of the curve

Kawhi is a monster.
Besides the fact that they play very different games, sure.

Grizzlies losing Tony Allen to injury (who would've been guarding Kawhi) was a HUGE loss
