    This Bucks Raptors game is fantastic, reminds me of eastern conference playoff games from the 90’s. The crowd is so loud you can barely hear the announcers, which also reminds me of the NBA on NBC days, ESPN and ABC kinda suck when it comes to crowd volume and production values. The actual game though, amazing defense being played by both teams at times, both teams have guys hitting huge shots.

    Maybe it goes 7, Toronto wins, and then Kawhi decides he wants to be the MAN on three different championship teams.

    Lebron would gladly defer to a closer like Kawhi, but especially since he’s a better player.

    I think if Kawhi goes to the Finals with the Raptors our chances are slim or none to get him. I'm disappointed about the outcome of this game.

    still on team "doesn't matter what happens here" in terms of kawhi's decision.

    i AM getting very nervous that he could bring a title to the clippers in the next three years, though.

    Showing that Giannis can out-athleticize all but one nba player.

    Imagine how foolish he’d be making a Lebron look

    Man.. The Raptors "Build a Wall" Defense to keep Giannis from driving to the basket has worked surprisingly well.
    He's either trying to force the issue & dribble through traffic, or when he's kicking it out, they're not making a high % of their threes.

    I did not anticipate this Series turning the way it did. Looked like Raps were cooked even after game 3.
    I blame Drake.

    Reminds me of us vs the spurs in 2004 I think it was. We lost the first two in SA then rattled off 4 straight be walking off Parker and forcing him to shoot.

    eh, lebron's three deserves more respect at this point, and that matters. he's also a MUCH better passer.

    but he'd be passing to our terrible shooters, so...yeah.

    Danny Green has been s*** in these playoffs nobody suggest we get him this off season because it would only exacerbate his shooting woes to be a Laker

    Kawhi is clearly injured and limping.

    If we sign a max guy, we’ll be lucky to get players that level with our leftovers

    Something about Brogdon is not right... can’t put my finger on it.

    He shoots a high percentage from the line, from 3 and plays elite defense. However, I always feel like he’s going to do something dumb... like you can’t trust him. He’s got that look on his face.

    Low basketball IQ... horrible free throw shooter for a guard (not Lonzo bad but bad) and poor shot selection.
