As a Cs fan, I don't like Toronto OR Milwaukee, but I find myself pulling for Toronto in this series, and I think it's because a) Giannis insulted the Celtics and b) I love seeing the NBA's pets (in this case Giannis) lose.

Toronto played really well down the stretch tonight; hopefully they can finish off Milwaukee in Game 6.

Plus, I can't really hate on guys like Siakam, Kawhi and Gasol. Lowry the only annoying guy there with his constant flopping but at least he plays actual D.

Good point—there's no one on Toronto I dislike, either.

i hate Ibaka

Aside from being defaulted division rivals, I can't really hate on the Raptors. Was a big fan of watching Chris Bosh, behind Paul Pierce. Of course, I hated the 2011-2014 Miami Heat but they were more controlled by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. I still believe that Chris Bosh made arguably one of the greatest offensive rebound in NBA history in Game 6 of 2013 for that Ray Allen shot to happen. Toronto doesn't have a bad reputation unlike New York or Philadelphia.

Leonard, Siakam, Gasol, VanFleet...guys are pretty straight-forward. Hope they crush Milwaukee in Game 6. Can't stand Middleton, Giannis, and their miserable fans. And being a Patriots fan, obviously can't stand the Aaron Rodgers "GOAT" hype from those cheeseheads.

The Raptors exposed the Bucks half court offense is their demise and the Celtics couldn't make it a half court game past game 1 this is really disappointing Celtics really pooped the bed this is unbelievable how did we lose to the ****ing Bucks **** Brad Stevens.

Terrible game plan.... he was running with the Bucks instead of slowing down the game.

We didn't milk the Kyrie/Horford 2 man game enough..the PnP and PnRoll...Kyrie shooting went downhill after G1, Hayward giving us nothing all series then Middleton played out of his mind the whole series,look at him now, he is pretty much in check.

The problem was Brad is letting Kyrie run the point. He is best when played as an off guard. Look how the Warriors run their offense through Draymond instead. If Al could be the focal point of offense (Not necessarily scoring, but running plays), we could be in the ECF right now .

Paul Pierce is pretty something.

Bucks are 0-3 since Paul Pierce tweeted "Bucks got this" after Game 2. Reverse psychology  ;D

I really can't see any legitimate GOAT argument being made for a guy who's won only one Super Bowl and been to the Pro Bowl literally only half as often as Brady (7x vs. 14x).

I really want to see a MIL/TOR Game 7 but I don't have much faith in Milwaukee extending the series tonight.

Hoping Toronto wins to go from 0-2 to 4-2 in the conference finals

Would be most impressive in conference finals since OKC did it to SAS in 2012 imo

The Paul Pierce Curse is real.

PG: Kyrie Irving/Patty Mills/Jalen Brunson
SG: OG Anunoby/Norman Powell/Matisse Thybulle
SF: Gordon Hayward/Demar Derozan
PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo/Robert Covington
C: Kristaps Porzingis/Bobby Portis/James Wiseman
