Giannis w/ 2 stupid fouls in the last 60 seconds. Now he has 3 and will have to be careful in 2nd half. You know they will load up the paint and try to draw more fouls on him

Giannis is one bad motherfucker but part of that mentality is outright aggression on both ends of the floor and that gets him into foul trouble way more than any other superstar. He's still working on the bball IQ, that and a more consistent shot are the only things missing. He works tirelessly, maybe he makes my crap city great and becomes the next NBA supernova. He's a lot different from LeBron, MJ and others. Not saying he's going to be that level but he's just really frickin unique.

Once Milwaukee built a decent lead with him on the bench it was always going to be tough for Boston to rebound in the 4th. And then Giannis started dunking on the whole team at the end. He's a killer.

A few bad mofo's in the league. Giannis, Kawhi, KD, Lebron, the Brow. I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody. You'll remind me later.

Dude, I told you you were worrying too much after that first loss. Bucks are good. In fact, Barkley just picked them to win the whole thing :)

Yeah I saw that. Made me cringe a bit. One game and one series at a time. If they do make the finals I can't picture them beating GS without Brogdon back and effective. Not saying they would win even with him back but they need him back. Aside from that it's just playing up to their standard and Giannis just not letting the moment get to him.

Shhh. We both told him, but don't rub his face in it. OK, OK, rub it a little :D

You guys can definitely rub it in. I can't always be right :D but in my defense when a young, inexperienced team comes out and gets destroyed by 20 at home it doesn't look good. Giannis has imposed his will starting in the 2nd half of game 2. That and surpsingly George Hill has turned this around.

But yes the NBA has fooled me in these playoffs so far. Last year I was on top of my game, predicted Pelicans dirty bird crappin on Portland, predicted Utah over OKC, predicted GSW would rally from 3-2 and that LeBron would take those high schoolers through the East...but I'm not about to live in the past :lol6: Since this year is the opposite I should predict more bad things for Milwaukee.

Middleton's not bad either. Has helped a bunch

Yea he went off in game 2 and had a good game 3. Absolutely dreadful tonight though. Hill has outplayed the whole Celtics bench badly.

Hill is a Pop prodigy. Has finals experience. Who else on the Bucks have been there?

Well we can't really count Gasol as he isn't going to play this postseason. Aside from that...no one.

Houston has been pretty dominant this game but still just a 10 point margin. This series gets all too interesting if Rockets win tonight.

Big play there by Paul and major unawareness from the Warriors team. Someone has to let Draymond know Paul is behind him there especially down 8 with 4 mins to go. Can't afford that.

CP3 making some big plays. He's seen A LOT better days but glad to see him contribute. One of those guys who will remain a very good player even as he is well past his prime.

Warriors made it interesting at the end but not quite enough. Pretty impressive after dropping the first 2.

Sorry Darth. Fell asleep in the 3rd Q. Saw some of the replay today. Klay was really bad. KD & Steph shot pretty good and made it interesting like you said. I expect when they get home on Wed there won't be any shooting issues. Everyone will light it up tomorrow. CP3 is still clutch doing things only he can do. It just shows you how much they missed him last year when he went down. I heard Rockets hit 17 of 50 treys? 50 really? :cuckoo:

I don't know what will happen but what I want to happen is for the Raps to find their flow on offense, people hitting the corner threes like they did all year, fast break points and suffocating defense. I need a 30 point blow out where the starters rest for the last 10 minutes . Am I asking for too much? :)
Wow...every single thing I wanted to happen has happened so far in this game except the starters have gone to the bench 7;30 left as opposed to the 10 minute mark I asked for.

Well that was phuckin fantastic! Nice beat down to send Boston and those obnoxious Massholes into the offseason. Brogdon looked good tonight too in first game back, quickly reminding people that this series would've ended up a bigger massacre if he was in from the start.

Yeah you guys can rub in how wrong I was after game 1. That showed some major class to put that behind them and then dominate the rest of the way. With a young team that had never been past the 1st round I figured that first game beatdown was going to lead to disaster.

And since I've been badly wrong this offseason I will predict the Raptors to sweep the Bucks by an average margin of 25 points/game.
