Lost in all of this, we're not giving the bucks enough credit. They're long, fast, and came to play. Well coached with an absolute stud in Giannis. We were all waaaay too cocky with this "raps in 5" shit. This team is a load to deal with.

They won't be coming back down to earth because we will make sure we continue to give them way more confidence than they should have. It's usual Raptors protocol lol

No one wanted them because of how tough Giannis is to contain with all the shooters around him.

In any event...a Bulls win will take the press eyes off the raptors and squarely on the Chowderheads...There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

They have yet to make it out the 1st rd with this team.
They rely so heavily on IT who obviously must be trying to fight himself mentally to stay in the game considering the awful lose of his sister. The Bulls are a 2pt team...and yeah yeah about the stupid superstition of us against the Bulls zzzz...Butler is by FAR a much easier player for PJ to defend than Giannis who is the height and length of a C while PJ is the height of a SG. I'll take that ANY day over this.

golden wrote: View PostWe won the 3pt battle tonight, both in % and makes. Giannis had 24 pts on 24 shots, so he was pretty much contained. It was close because of more subtler reasons. Bucks killed us on the offensive glass (12-6 OREB), and held their own on FTAs for much of the game as well as TOs, until near the end. Those are 3 areas where we usually have an advantage in the regular season, but it's been muted so far in the playoffs.

In any event...a Bulls win will take the press eyes off the raptors and squarely on the Chowderheads...
