Just dominated down the stretch, and it’s mainly the “others” for LA.

With the already bad matchup and the injuries to the bigs and Morant’s hand, the Lakers may mark this a quicker series.

Called this a sweep for LA, and it looks like it will be a sweep unless AD is out. Just annoyed that they may cruise their way to the WCF with the easiest playoff path (AGAIN). Even the Warriors had trouble with them during the reg season.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Yeah, looks like a non-factor offensively.

That said, I’m already relieved that we’re playing the Hawks not Heat. The Heat just play a style that will keep them in the games, and they’ll shoot enough to win a few games.

The one time I'll root for the cHeats. Can't stand Giannis and the Bucks and their fans

C'mon Jimmy Buckets. And Bam. Pretend they are the Celtics. Play them hard.

Thank god we're playing Atlanta, and not Miami

Milwaukee will still beat Miami in 4 or 5, but Miami is still 100x more annoying and tougher to play against

Man, the Bucks' D is TERRIBLE

C's put up 140 on them last time, and 139 on Christmas Day

I've said in the recent past that even in a lot of their wins against bad teams during the 2nd half, MIL is giving up 120-130+ but I got shot down saying that MIL is winning by around 10 points so it doesn't matter. Well that's great against bad teams, but against better teams like BOS, PHI, etc. they definitely won't be scoring 120+ regularly themselves

Also guys like Crowder, Ingles, etc. who are considered "X-Factors" have been awful on defense too

They are really relying on their starting lineup and of course Giannis

He's annoying to go against, but Butler in the playoffs is a baller

Agreed. Heat are putting a beating on Giannis right now, too.
