[Eastern Conference Finals] (1)Milwaukee vs. (2)Toronto

Teams need to throw money at Middleton and Lopez this offseason to break up the bucks

 

Middleton would be such a difference maker for us. Good defender with size and a reliable 3-point shooter.

 

Adam Silver has a lot of free time now that the Rockets are out of the playoffs. It's pretty much a full time job trying to wreck James Harden's career

 

When I see Gianis destroy the small ball teams I think Dream would just post quadruple doubles all day

 

Said it during the regular season.

Not only are Bucks exceptional on defense, our tunnel offense makes it even easier for them to defense.

We would have lost to Bucks in a seven game series.

 

I'm 100% okay Freak winning MVP

 

*would've been swept

 

Lin sighting

 

Must be a blowout

 

Bucks vs Warriors is going to be good!

 

Whoa. Appears I will end up cheering for Bucks WINS this season (when they play the Warriors).

Who'da thunk after cheering *against* their arse all year.

 

No way we could keep up with the pace the bucks play. I wonder if GS will be able to slow them down.

 

<Insert any team that wins a game> would have beaten us anyway

GS will probably try to push the pace more to stop Milwaukee playing 3 bigs and dominating the glass

 

Yeah, pretty much. If the Bucks slowed Harden down a little, it would've been a wrap for us. The Bucks have taken nearly every Raptors player out of the equation, offensively, except Kawhi.

The Raptors have to win both games at home, I cannot see them winning a game 5 in Milwaukee, down 3 to 1.

 

Damn, must be nice to have a bench that is:
A) used
B) has talent
C) comes through for you

Giannis deserves MVP and any Rockets fan who was or is yelling conspiracy, it's not an argument and any player with his numbers would've won it are being silly.

 

Nick Nurse needs to learn that trying to beat Milwaukee by walling off the paint to stop Giannis is foolish (just ask Boston)

He had the right idea in Gm1 in pushing the tempo but used the wrong personnel to try to achieve it. He needs to limit Gasol and play more of Ibaka and smaller athletic players. Milwaukee has a lot of big men, but if you can force them to go small, it will expose the lack of quality depth in the guards and limited 3pt shooters. In both games, Bucks got away with going extra big playing Giannis at 3 and Middleton at 2.

Also Kawhi needs to stay on Middleton while Green or someone else needs to do a better job on Brogdon. They should let Giannis get his and we will see how far his dunks can take them. It will likely force him to play longer minutes which could lessen his explosiveness.
