The more you think about it, the Bucks really haven't beaten a top team since they beat the Sixers on the road... way back on April 4th. Pistons were without Griffin. Celtics were complete fool's good - sweeping the Bogdanovich-led Pacers meant absolutely nothing. The Bucks played pedal-to-the-metal all season long while the Raps did load managment, had Lowry/JV injured and Nurse experimented, and we were still only a Kyle Lowry zero-point game away from being tied for 1st overall. We've already shown the ability to flip a defensive switch ... if we find the offensive switch, then the Bucks have a rude awakening ahead.

This is right. Experience and starters quality is not nothing either deep in the playoffs like this. This series is difficult to predict. If we get the Raptors offence that showed up in the last 2 games, Bucks will take it in 4 or 5. If we get the offence that showed up in game 5 vs Philly or game 2 vs Orlando, Raptors will advance for sure.

Honestly, the more I think about it, like .. could Fultz really be more broken than this guys game already is? Lol

[Apollo]

Feel familiar?

Nailed it. This all feels like Plinko.

[Apollo]

If he doesn't work on his jumper like every waking moment this off-season we will know he's not mature enough to be an elite player right now or maybe ever.

But I've been told hundreds of times that Canada is too cold and Canadian for the Raptors to win basketball games. I'm lost.

[Apollo]

he said so he'll curse us

He said his reasoning was because of all the "Toronto hate" coming his way so it doesn't count.

Paul Pierce is wrong about most things. But he is ALWAYS right about the Raptors.
