Milwaukee's defense is centered around closing the paint at the expense of leaving some shooters at 3pt line open. Saying someone won because his shooting is hot is the easiest and laziest explanation.
I'm personally rooting for Gianni's and the bucks to make the historic comeback, despite being a Riley, Butler and dragic fan. Why? 1. It'll be entertaining. 2. I need more games to watch 7 > 4 3. Most importantly, I fear the bucks losing embarrassingly in the first round will be the impetus for Gianni's leaving the bucks and ending up in the warriors or Mavericks. While I enjoy both those teams and Gianni's individually, I am not a fan of them joining together. I didn't hate LeBron teaming up with Wade or Durant with Curry... But both were far from ideal for my own selfish preferences. Tldr:. Bucks losing 1st Rd = Gianni's leaving to warriors or Mavs. Warriors in trade or Mavs when he's free agent after next season.
Two things: Buldenholzer is a great coach like MDA, but even more stubborn and deserves to be canned. Giannis winning back-to-back MVPs is an embarrassment to the league and the media's biggest mistake.
I hope Bucks don't pull a comeback, because that would mean raw force ruled over a team that banks on its' players' intelligence, good coaching, team play and hustle. At this point, Giannis is nothing more than Capela with decent passing and ball-handling, while his coach wants him to be LeBron. Sorry, he isn't - when Giannis decides to barrel through a wall of defenders, he sees nothing else and a pass is not an option for him, it's either dunk, offensive foul or defensive foul. Or a stolen ball in some cases. That's why he needs an elite ball-handler and passer next to him IMO, and he HAS to be a p&r guy versus a set defense.
People were saying same thing about WB and Harden after their playoff exits...playoffs don’t matter for MVP voting
Spoiler: unfounded conspiracy take MIA is a bigger market than MIL. Why not have Butler and MIA carry the torch. Narrative wise, a bad MIL series loss could result a major shake up. Even if Giannis has every intention of staying. The offseason storylines of will he or won't he (stay) can feed reporter writing articles for months in off season.
Dang it. Why did they not assign JVG to call the Rockets game? The Bucks-Heat series is done already.
this officiating crew is more deadly than foster by himself - zarba, brothers, and that young guy that's actually horrible (not an actual henchman yet) watch them get assigned the houston la series next
