Giannis was pretty bad in Game 3(by his standards). Great players usually bounce back with a monster game after a bad game. That's why the Bucks are the favorite.

Lowry's like "YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE ON ME TODAY PAL"After a breakaway layup early in the game, Leonard reached down for his left leg and lost some of the burst in his step. After that lefty dunk, which came on a fast break in which he could’ve been called for double dribble, Leonard reached down for his right leg and teammate Kyle Lowry — reduced to de facto assistant coach and trainer after fouling out in regulation — brought over some heat packs for him to apply during the subsequent timeout.

Not so game 4 related but a sad day for Toronto radio. He was always a big Raptors fan and proudly talked them up on air. Pour one out tonight.

I mean, the Raptors were +15 in Lowry's 31 minutes, and then he played less than 2 minutes of the 4th and no OT because of foul trouble.KeonClark wrote: View PostComment

Underdog status makes sense to me. Game 3's line was all about home advantage imo. Bit strange that line tbf. Milwaukee is just better team on the court (and going against bookmakers). Bookies can't seem to crack Milwaukee's code. Bucks were killing oddsmakers during the regular season and nothing has changed in the playoffs.Jclaw wrote: View Post

See, to me, as I wrote in the Game 3 thread, this has become a tough series to read. Raps appear on the ropes but they could easily be up 2-1 if not for a 4th quarter collapse in Game 1. If Toronto wins Game 4, Milwaukee is going to be feeling a lot of pressure, which they haven't faced all season.rocwell wrote: View PostComment

That was Bud's post game message both to his team and in the presser. I think the Raps have as much if not more opportunities to improve. Turnovers, rebounding and G&V shooting better than 10% (2 - 20). As a team, we have yet to have a decent shooting game. If either one of GorV starts contributing, we should be OK offensively. On defence, limiting the Bucks to 1 shot and minimizing live ball turnovers are important. Slow them down by limiting transition opportunities.KeonClark wrote: View PostComment

Team around Kawhi need to take this as disrespect man. Can't be talking shit like that in your face. Make it a series RapsOnly one thing matters: We The Champs.Comment

Especially Lowry. There was an underlying season long narrative that our record was better when Kawhi doesn't play. Lowry usually stepped it up. That seems like eons ago.MixxAOR wrote: View Post

Pretty rich coming from a team who has the same guy leading in points, rebounds and assists In regular season and playoffs.MixxAOR wrote: View Post9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment

But that is by design in both cases. The Warriors (and Spurs and Bucks) have a system that is tightly defined and well-drilled into the players, so you can take a bench guy and plug him in and get him to produce.slaw wrote: View Post
Our system that Nurse implemented in fall 2017 is a read and react, and we don't seem to have the personnel on the bench to fit that system. The amount of times I've seen Fred VanVleet pound the rock aimlessly for twelve seconds makes me want to gouge my eyes out.Comment

Bingo. You don't have a lot of time to "think" in the playoffs - Nurse's system requires starter level players, even coming off the bench. Heck, even starter level guys like Green are struggling with the read & react. And super high IQ guys like Lowry and Gasol are over-thinking things. Muscle memory seems to be working out better.Scraptor wrote: View PostComment
