I just told my husband I’m tired of rooting for the losers. He told me, I thought you’d be used to it by now. All I could do was laugh. He’s right.
Unless they get swept by the Warriors... that’s the only way I can see that happening. The chances are remote but that is the only way.
Can’t wait to see the battle between Klay and Kawhi. Kawhi is going to struggle against Klay. I thought Brogdon played Kawhi well.
I CAN NOT STAND Drake and I have to see him jumping around all annoyingly like a school girl for the next 4-7 games. I wanted the Bucks to win because I'm a fan of Giannis, seeing another young team in the finals would have been awesome, and also have me hope of possibly getting Kawahi, but I know he's not coming now. Experience always seem to prevail over youth.
As much as I was hoping Toronto would lose I’m also happy that a new team is representing the East. It’s good for the NBA.
Man the Bucks choked this series. They let it get to their head a little I think. Also the silent assassin Kawhi had something to say about that. Kawhi gets his revenge against the Warriors/Bogut after he almost single handedly beat them with the Spurs that one year before that dirty play. See no readon why he would come here next year now.
Even when the Raptors got down double digits to end the 1st quarter and the Bucks were playing with everything they had, I still felt like Toronto was going to come back and win this game. There is just something about Kawhi, where his team doesn’t seem to panic, because he is always so even tempered, such a calming presence, a true 2-way superstar. I too am rooting for the Raptors in the Finals, I don’t think them winning or losing changes what Kawhi plans to do, and I’m sick of GS already. Drake is annoying, but so is Draymond, so it kinda evens out.
Kawhi was a Beast, but Budenholzer got outcoached in this Series. Nurse made the defensive adjustment after Game 3 & MIL never responded. Just kept going with the same Offensive game plan. It became easier & easier for TOR to get stops as the Series went on. MIL was held under 100 pts in games 5-6.
Nurse did the obvious which took him two games to realize, sic Giannis with the best defensive player in the NBA. Series Over.
The playoffs are a different animal than the regular season. Great teams can take away your 1st and second options if you are too one dimensional. They have time to prepare just for you. Once they prevented option 1a and 1b of Giannis driving, and Giannis driving and dishing, they were unable to adjust. Some of that is on the coaching, and some is the skill set of the players that creates additional options. I didn’t like what I perceived as a lack of adjustments by the Bucks. I mean, it wasn’t Waltonesque, but it wasn’t great at all. They really struggled to manufacture offense.
