Back to back steals by the bucks!

 

[Line_HTX]

God, Lowry and DeRozan look awful. Kave lied, people died.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Idgaf if you haven't been in the playoffs doing your thing when defenses tighten up and play gets more physical then your not in the conversation for top 10.

Say what you want about Kyrie but dood is going up against a 73 win team with an elite defense hitting dagger 3s and dropping 40 on the biggest stage.

Cousins can put up regular season numbers all he wants with inflated stats losing games by at least 15 every night who cares?

Yeah I don't think Kyrie is top 10 because he does have clear defensive negatives and issues with his overall game, but you know he can get you a bucket in isolation and can be hidden to some extent as a guard. And yes, he's done it on the biggest stage now, which is why he's been boosted up by many (which makes sense and is fair). I have pretty good confidence he wouldn't be near top 10 lists without Bron, but he does have him.

Boogie as the all-offense/stats guy would need to do something similar at some point, otherwise he's just a guy who has pretty offensive numbers, a shitty personality, and no reputation for anything good beyond his talent.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Don't you dare offer Kyle Lowry a max contract this offseason Sixers.

 

[darkwing-buck]

GIANNIS IN FUCK YOU MODE!

 

[RedEther]

giannis is a beast

 

[Dynomutt]

Damn ya'll see DeRozan's face...what a dunk!

 

[Bread]

Damn the way Derozan defended that made it look like Giannis would have to lay it up

Then he just hammered it down. Dude's a freak.

 

[Slizeezyc]

I love that Powell is at least being given minutes here. This was a move that needed to be made by Game 2 though.

Kyle Lowry is passing up open 3s. The man is broken.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Lowry looks afraid to shoot. got no confidence in his shot right now.

 

[Bread]

Carroll is useless. Why does he get so many minutes?

 

[Slizeezyc]

Carroll is useless. Why does he get so many minutes?

It's a great question at this point. I still liked him starting rather than Jonas, but it's got to be Tucker out there way more than Carroll (and Patterson).

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Norm is a god send. He should be the primary ball handler, he gets to the rim without the stupid high screen that is getting the Raptors trapped. The Bucks should be happy about this half. They aren't even playing well and they are dead even.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Thank goodness for the Raptors they traded for Tucker and Serge. Without them, the Jonas and Carroll issues would be so highlighted.

Also Thon > Jaylen Brown. Ya fucked up again Ainge.

 

[Boogs31]

I am either crazy or you forgot AD . He's better then 7-15 on your list

My bad ya you're right. I think I had him in there but as I was shuffling around the order I must have forgot to put him back in. He'd be at number 9.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

tied at the end of 1
tied at the end of 2

score is only 41 to 41

are these 2 teams that evenly matched, or is neither team playing all that well right now?

 

[FZZ]

Feel bad for AD would've easily been the best player in the league/face of the future of the league if he had a decent enough team and no injuries problems

He's way too skilled

Well Derozan is playing well and that's about it. Really ugly game.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Well Derozan is playing well and that's about it. Really ugly game.

Well, he got more than half the teams point. But I haven't watched either of these teams really play all season, so I was hoping to see the Raptors excel offensively and the Buck dominate the paint, but I haven't really seen anything too impressive this game so far.

Both defenses play really well. Both offenses play really badly.

 

[friskykillface]

Ibaka gonna shoot 567645665 shots

 

[Gigglepoo]

I stand by Giannis having the second-highest trade value. Only Marcus Smart's is higher.

 

[Slizeezyc]

You're trash Jonas.

 

[Bread]

Beasley looks so smooth on offense, such a shame he never figured it out. Dudes got a sweet stroke.

 

[negitoro7]

Jonas Valanciunas is straight trash, gawddamn.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I hope the Giannis show starts sometime in the 4th, because that was the main reason I tuned into this game in the first place.

I don't really care who wins, I just want to see some highlights in realtime during the flow of the game.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

This is one of the ugliest games of basketball I've seen in my life.

An astronomical amount of bricks.

 

[Chase17]

I didn't think there would be a game that could outdo Celtics/Bulls when it comes to bad offense!

 

[Gigglepoo]

Greg Monroe now has higher trade value than Boogie.

 

[M.D]

 

[Dragun619]

Dude, For real.

I don't even know if I want to root for either of them. lol

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Neither of these teams look worthy to move onto the next round right now...

I think we just gonna have to tap the Heat to come face the Cavs next round, or give the Pacers a second chance at best of 7.

 

[Slizeezyc]

GET JONAS OUT OF THE GAME!

If he can't even get a board -- already a foregone conclusion he's useless in pick and roll defense -- then what purpose does he have?

 

[Mrbob]

Bucks playing like the inexperienced team they are. Giannis poor today.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Good thing they had Cory Fucking Joseph and Delon Wright spotting up in the corner rather than Norman Powell the first 3 games of this series.

Eat shit Casey.

 

[bbd23]

THANK YOU POWELL

get carrolls bum ass off the starting lineup

 

[Barrage]

I'm,still real bullish on Casey's coaching so far this series, but starting Powell was a smart ass move.

 

[negitoro7]

Can't believe what the Raptors got for T-Ross, cause they already had Powell who is a huge upgrade over him in everything other than dunking.

 

[Mrbob]

Raps taking this series is seven now.

 

[RedEther]

Raps taking this series is seven now.

I say in 6

 

[neptunes]

DD came to ball

 

[panthapanda]

Plz win one game Hawks. Plz.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

This game is dreadful. Relegate the entire East.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

I wish Will Smith from Men in Black would erase that game from my mind.

Can Adam Silver just put the Cavs to the ECF already?

Norm couldn't buy a jumpshot to save his life, only corner threes

 

[MetalFearSolid]

There we go. Raps answer after getting punched in the face

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Norman rotting on the Raptors bench is a fucking shame. Casey staying away from him is so fucking sad.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Conceding the #1 spot was a masterful move on the part of Lebron.
Avoided the Bulls round 1 and the Wizards round 2. Basically ensuing they make the ECF at the very least.

 

[RS4-]

JV too goood.

 

[El Topo]

Color me surprised, both Lowry and DeRozan really delivered.
