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.

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.

No exactly. But I can keep hearing "raps played great and bucks played bad and they still barely won" and I'm like huh? Raps had a LOT of shit go wrong and adversity. Narrative is still we took one getting lucky and have no chance overall

what's the logic in being -2.5 for game 3 and +2.5 for game 4? people figured we were due to win one and that's it? Kawhi's potential injury I guess
By the way, sharps took Milwaukee's line in Game 3 too.

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.

Team around Kawhi need to take this as disrespect man. Can't be talking shit like that in your face. Make it a series Raps
Between this and the Middleton "guarantee", these bambis are getting a little too big for their britches.

It's a 3-man team, though, and the other guys just play off of them. You could slot 40 guys into that spot and get similar results. It's one of things that is frustrating to me about the Raps right now: we have an inverse situation where the bench, in particular, has the stars trying to play off of them rather than the other way around...
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.

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.
