NBA 2019 Playoffs Thread

Bucks getting a taste of their own medicine. Giannis has been shut down and his lane barreling tactic is not working so far.

He hasn't been to the line once yet....

Siakam moves his feet so well on defense. And his length his smothering.

Who is better

Siakam or Tatum?

There's already a thread on that.

Slightly NSFW - profanity.

I want Brogdon.. Just a way better player than Rozier..

If we can't have Smart bec he is traded, Danny should go after Shroeder, Brogdon if Kyrie also leaves.

Wow Raptors look locked and loaded on defense.

Brogdon should get a contract in the 4 year, $60m range. He'll be out of our price range.

What Bledsoe is doing to Lowry (attacking the basket) was what Rozier did to Bledsoe last season

Yeah, he's probably going to demand a lot of money

Raptors much more disciplined on defense than us. Playing a lot like we did in game 1.

Yeah, they didn't crumbled even when the Bucks are catching up with the score.

Without a massive amount of free throws the Bucks offense looks pedestrian.

Gasol so much better than Baynes

Celts could have traded for him

I had not been watching the game, but how does Giannis have 10 FT attempts in the 3rd quarter?  I looked at his FTA at the half and he had 0.  Was it because the Raps were defending him well?  Was he not getting his usual superstar calls?  And why now has he been getting to the line so often?

LETS GO RAPTORS ONE MORE QUARTER BABY

Raptors implemented the same strategy Celtics did in game 1. Pack the paint and close out quickly on kick outs. The difference is they actually mixed it up in offense. Post ups, slashing, backdoor cuts, and handoffs instead of predictable isolations.

He's like if Baynes had guard skills on offence and stayed out of foul trouble
