i agree, Lin is a better playmaker than Lowry and 4-5 inches taller. half the time, i dont think Lowry can even see over the guy guarding him, no court vision.
Lin not ready. Nurse put VanVleet back to rotation too early for the rest of the season. Did not leave enough time for Lin to gel into the team. Lin was taken as just a sub in case of injuries. haven't seen plays drawn for Lin except for pick n rolls. I like Lowry and Lin on the court at same time. what Raptors need now are spot shooters to stretch the floor and speeding up the offense to keep those Bucks big's on the bench. These bucks big men are exhausting Kawhi...
@@spikespiegel7442 lmao do you not watch the game? A majority of the possessions, they just pass to kawhi multiple times b/c they're not confident enough.
Mostly Nurse's fault. He played fvv for a whole 10 minutes so he could get 0 stats, and then continued to play him. Also, Powell has shown to be the best bench player behind ibaka in these playoffs, yet he doesn't get enough minutes.
Danny Green has been absolutely atrocious all playoffs, and Gasol equally as bad so far in this series. Nurse needs to man up and make some major adjustments. Starting Ibaka over Gasol is a given, as well as giving Powell more minutes over Green. Gasol's minutes in general need to be limited this series. His defense was vital in the Sixers series against strong low post threats like Embiid, but against a Bucks team whose bigs are mainly just three point threats, he's getting exposed having to guard at the 3 point line all game. Call me crazy, but i think Chris Boucher would be much more effective this series. He's quicker, longer and might even be able to knock down 3s at a more consistent rate than Gasol
Honestly Powell is one of the people on the team playing with urgency and a fire. He isn’t scared to take shots and drive in and he isn’t a bad defender either. I think at this point he needs more minutes and FVV simply shouldn’t be playing at all especially not with Lowry on the court with him. Ibaka needs to start over gasol and they need to try and get him going. Their defense is so eh. It goes from amazing in the Orlando series to decent in philly to good at times in that series to this game 2 atrocity. But honestly give Powell way more minutes. Dude wants to ball and besides Kawhi and Lowry he’s the only one that looks 100% motivated all the time he’s playing.
thats the Danny Green Spurs fans had last few years. He was so sorry they hated him saying he only shows up on fan meet ups and autograph signings. Oh old days.
BBALLBREAKDOWN remember, they have gotten swept last season as the #1 team. Choked game 1 last year and also this year. Potential repeat of a sweep just like last year?

Great video as always coach! I didn't mind the other music but thanks for hearing the complaints and coming back with the old one. It looks like you are better at making adjustments than many nba coaches ;)
Honestly look at raptors n bucks roster bucks way better especially considering they using gasol like Ryan Anderson and he on the decline ... and Lowry is “playoff Lowry “
ssimpson11234 that’s the cliche thing to say I see them move ball only person who really iso is kawhi and he’s effective with otherwise try to move ball the players are simply missing shots watch it and they don’t have that many shot creators that’s the easy narrative “oh they’re not playing hard” “they playing iso ball” when in reality they need personnel changes

@@tahmidislam5208 Coach has ZERO raptors bias. He is only making a video on them because its the only game on... Regular season he makes ZERO raptors videos.
I have no idea why the Bucks are still doubted. They have dominated ALL YEAR. They basically swept the Celtics who, of course had internal problems, were otherwise a very good team. Giannis is being disgustingly underrated. People don’t realize he averaged more points, rebounds, assists, blocks and had a higher fg% despite playing FOUR FEWER MINUTES in the regular season than he did the year before. People were comparing KD and Kawhi’s scoring averages in the playoffs and saying that’s why they’re so much better than Giannis even though Giannis is playing maybe 33 minutes per game. While Kawhi and KD have been playing about 38-40 minutes per game. Obviously those two are better scorers than him, but he isn’t playing the amount of minutes they are. It just shows that Giannis’ team is so terrific that they don’t have to over work him. People are still saying Giannis hasn’t proved himself. That’s hilarious when you see that his team has only lost 1 of 11 games in THESE playoffs. Now people might say Giannis team is very good without him so that should disqualify him from being the best player in the world. KD’s team absolutely does not need him to win the championship, they just need him to be unbeatable. I’m pretty sure the Raptors could have beaten the Magic without Kawhi in 6 or 7. If Giannis got injured the Bucks probably would’ve lost to the Pistons in 6 or 7. I’m not saying he is for sure the best player at the moment, but I wouldn’t disagree if you said he was.
Ginobili was flashy. Behind the back passes, no looks, and behind the back dribble then step back jumper was his specialty. He used to get benched for being too flashy.
Jeremie Black ok you’re right minus the flash ginobili was craftier I guess what im saying is he has no fast twitchy nothing special just a bare bones basketball player that does what he’s supposed to
YES! It is difficult to win game 2 when Kawhi scores 31 points and the rest of the starters had a total of 33 points! I cannot wait until July 1 so Kawhi can go to the Clippers and play for a coach that knows what he is doing!
Bad court vision though. Half of the time didn't know where to run to. You give him more minutes, you will use the flaw. Also he gets a ball, he keeps it!
I was thinking why not play Jeremy Lin and Powell more? Both have the ability to drive in and attack or dish it out to the open man; especially in small ball lineups where the Raptors push the pace if they play a faster pace allowing for more open shots from distance. Also Nurse should opt for more small ball lineups with Lowry, Van Fleet/Lin, Powell/Leonard, Leonard/Siakam and Siakam/Ibaka to really space the floor and punish the bigger less mobile shooting big men of Milwaukee ( Lopez, Ersan Illyasova, and Mirotic); forcing Hill, Brogdon, Snell and Bledsoe ( daring him to shoot wide open) into different lineups. Otherwise this series will be over quickly because the Bucks really haven't changed their lineups since the beginning of the playoffs and that needs to change to get them out of their comfort zone (at least for the role players who are primarily shooters hoping that will cause more misses). I am seriously questioning Nick Nurse's ability to coach outside of getting Leonard the ball and telling everyone else to get the F*ck out the way ( Doug Collins reference). The Warriors sure as hell will exploit these big men in space so if I'm the Raptors the least I could do is try that as well before the series is over.
In game 1 we saw how many open threes the Bucks gave up and I truly thought that would be what allows the Raptors to push this series to six or even seven. As a Raptors fan, game 2 was tough to watch. I just hope that the Bucks can beat the Warriors in the finals
Raptors can't get any MOJO going if they can't run off of defensive boards. Transition, Leonard, confident Pascal. Need all 3 to have a chance. Bucks are strong.
I had picked the Raptors going all the way this year when playoff first started. During the regular season, Siakam was killing it, scoring from all angles. I have no doubt he will win the most improved player award. Lowry was, well, regular season Lowry, an able point guard. Green was shooting threes at his normal rate. Ibaka was deadly on his mid range jumpers. Gasol was not impressive but adequate. VanVleet was like Brogdon, though not as fast to the basket, but a confident shooter and ran the second unit really well. Kawhi was never in full throttle during regular season but he didn't have to. I really feel that this year Raptors had turned the corner with the addition of Kawhi, and later with Gasol. Then playoffs started, and Kawhi was the only one showed up. Lowry became playoff Lowry most of the time, with occasional sparks. Siakam didn't look like the most improved player. Green was no where to be seen. Gasol looked way passed his prime. VanVleet wasn't shooting with confidence. Besides Kawhi, all other Raptors players just not feeling it most of the time, often passing up open shots without even looking at the basket. Even when they did shoot, you could tell the shooting motion was off, indication of a reluctant shooter. Opponents just picked up of that, daring them to shoot, and crowded Kawhi with two to three players all the time. Granted Bucks are loaded with great players themselves, but if all Raptors play up to their potential, there is a great chance we will be looking at another seven game series. However, at this moment, the more likely scenario is another disappointed year for Raptors fans, with Kawhi returning for another season hanging in the balance.
Great video love that the musics back but would you consider taking Green out and replace his minutes with van fleet’s and use him just like the clippers used Beverly against the warriors I’m a bucks fan but if the raptors play like they did in game one at home i think they might get the dub
It’s sad they gave up Jonas when Jonas always played well when he was healthy and was given quality run, he was killing it in Memphis to end the season too
Agree with the first, second is bull. Bucks defense gives up the most threes and one of the highest opponent three point percentages. They get cooked by the splash bros behind the arc 💯
Sherwin poh- Ha Bucks are a terrible matchup for the warriors, no kd Bucks should be heavy favorites, heathy kd it’s a 50/50 series.... here’s what you’re missing steph and klay will get theirs but bucks are better at virtually everything else, especially rebounding
@@kheldaryt yeah, bucks get tons of rebounds, and their paint-heavy defense helps with that. Bucks can't stop the splash, but also Dubs can't stop Giannis. Big scoring games?
@louis With Curry and Klay firing now, bucks will have their hooves full. But now check out Brogdon is back, and he's shooting fantastic. He had a 50/40/90 season. Mirotic, Lopez, Ersan can all score pretty big. Can GS slow down all the Bucks threats, and the bench too, and Giannis? Man this is going to be fun. I do not predict a short series.
ill give it to the bucks as a raps fan your teams playing great defense with their length and keeping up with their usual offense your team as a whole is playing superior ball other than the first games shooting if and when you make it to GSW i hope you crush them
Ik that imma sound very nationalist but I get angry every time I see those comments " ERSAN IS NOT A KEY PLAYER " . I purely think Ersan carried the last game as he was active both in offense and defense and I also demand you to mention him more
Kawhi and Lowry are the only 2 that show up so far in the series. Powell earned more minutes and possibly take Danny's spot in the lineup, Gasol needs to come off the bench so Ibaka can keep pressure on Giannis and keep a fast pace with the team. Raps speed beats Bucks length. Rebounding is the most important, nobody is going for the rebounds and its killed them in game 2 every missed shot Raps took the bucks snatched it away and score a 3 or drive to the paint and most likely get and 1. Raps can tie the series only if Nurse makes adjustments, and get Kawhi rest when they have the lead in 10+ score. VS 76ers Kawhi played not enough minutes and now VS bucks he's playing too many minutes. Nurse needs to find the sweet spot and trust the bench more. Hopefully OG will be back for game 3 because his length and defense is very crucial for the Raps.
Not bieng biased, but if Raptors is looking for a miracle, it could still happen. It has happened to the Knicks in 2012-13 season breaking a losing streak with an unknown D-league player JLin and of course the Hornets who played in the play offs against Heat. The reason i mentioned that is because, from what I've seen on this video, the Raptors offense would have been more effective with JLin as the play maker. And i stress, i'm not saying they could win but their offense would have been more effective. Lin has better court vision, better bball IQ and has more guts than Lowry. Bottom line is that Lin has more experience playnng in this sort intensity.
Absolutely! Try him, is there anything to lose at this point since you don't have no one else to rotate anymore? Ha, ha. No matter how you rotate, it is just the same guys!!!
this is correct. he plays like a ballhog now it is hard to watch. he has never been particularly good at breaking down double team and finding open teammates but with this 'system' he simply has to shoot it every time he is in iso. close to zero ball movement and completely lack of chemistry. i laugh so hard when people start comparing him to jordan. the one thing i really admire about leonard's game--his shot selection has also been gone. and you can tell he suffers big time trying to get open with his predictable dribbles and footwork, along with his slow foot speed. leonard isnt fast and smart enough to evade traps to be honest, even the poor-man jordan named kobe was better at that.
What are the both of you talking about? Gasol, Green and Lowry have become dependent on Kawhi and constantly feed him the ball and overlook open shots themselves. Gasol has been doing this the most. Just look at everyone field goal percentages, it's absolutely abysmal. His teammates are shitting the bed and if I was Kawhi i wouldn't even pass them the ball at this point. The coach is also a moron and can't make simple adjustments, and he constantly puts VanVleet on the court despite him being a massive liability. Also the coach puts 3 small guards (Powell, Lowry and VanVleet) at the same time despite the Raptors having rebound issues as well.
@@spikespiegel7442 It doesn't really matter if he was balling in Memphis. Not sure how you guys can blame Kawhi when his teammates are feeding him the ball and want him to run iso plays. Im convinced you haven't watched any of the raptors games. Toronto's bench and coach got exposed after game 2 vs Philly. Nick Nurse still hasn't made any major adjustments and because of that Toronto is fucked
Credit should be given to Coach Bud. His rotations are on point and he has mismatches all over the court. Plus he has a more dependable and productive bench who know their roles. Their defense is disrupting the Raptors offense and only Kawhi is consistently scoring. This is what Bud has envisioned where all 5 players can hit the 3 to which Pop was reluctant to use when he was on the Spurs. His Hawks team had the same blueprint but this time he has Giannis as his superstar. Ironic that his Hawks were dismantled by LeBron but now he has the Hawks gameplan and the LeBron in Giannis in the same team! Let us see how they perform in Toronto as playoff experience is their weakest link.
Nurse is just unfaithful for the bench. Let JLin play more and YES. Let kawhi guard Giannis. Gasol and Green needs to step up because I’m starting to want Delon, CJ, and Jonas back
you shouldn't make premature conclusions in your videos in the same way you said that Embiid's dunk vs the Raptors ended the series in the eastern semifinals
I think kawhi can guard giannis as long as his offensive role is more "off-ball" like middletons, where he takes more shots rather than dribble penetration to pass badly. I think kawhi is one of the raptors better shooters, he's also not unconfident, which seems to be a factor in green and gasol's play right now.
This is a very fair conference game. I think raptors still have the chance, specially when you see kawhi already hitting a buzzer. But doesn’t mean he still can. GG to whoever wins, I don’t care since I love both the teams.
There's no reason for the Bucks to bother changing their zone drop defense against the Raptors as long as Ibaka/Gasol are out there and Siakam's not shooting with confidence. Against the Warriors I'd expect them to switch more often like they did against the Celtics after Game 1. I'd expect them to switch 1-4 and zone drop of Looney/Bogut when they're out there and if the Warriors go death lineup they should put Giannis at the 5 and switch everything.
Should never have fired Dwayne Casey. After the pedestrian performance by DeRozan in SAS, you realize it was never the coach’s fault. I’d argue the young pieces in Toronto actually played better under Casey.
thr bucks defeated the raptors in game 1 with a poor 3 point shooting. so there was no chance for them to win this series. the bucks was ready for the finals.
No single defender can stop an offensive super star but if Kawhi is locked in on defense he can slow down anyone. For example whatch what he did to LeBron in the 2014 Finals
Zhawin Lagman they literally had the same players lol.. everyone was wanting Lin to play over Van Vleet when he was the difference maker in the last few games.

The return of the MUSIC!!!!
It was back in the last one! Did u see it?
7:15 That's Fred Van Vleet
Raptors can't get any MOJO going if they can't run off of defensive boards. Transition, Leonard, confident Pascal. Need all 3 to have a chance. Bucks are strong.
8:31 nice audio editing, coach :D
Dammit!!!!
Starting five:
5- Gasol
4- Ibaka
3- Kawhi
2- Powell
1- Lowry
Bench:
Boucher backup 4-5
Siakam backup 3-4
Green backup 2-3
Meeks backup 2
Vanvleet 1-2
I was waiting on this
I had picked the Raptors going all the way this year when playoff first started. During the regular season, Siakam was killing it, scoring from all angles. I have no doubt he will win the most improved player award. Lowry was, well, regular season Lowry, an able point guard. Green was shooting threes at his normal rate. Ibaka was deadly on his mid range jumpers. Gasol was not impressive but adequate. VanVleet was like Brogdon, though not as fast to the basket, but a confident shooter and ran the second unit really well. Kawhi was never in full throttle during regular season but he didn't have to. I really feel that this year Raptors had turned the corner with the addition of Kawhi, and later with Gasol. Then playoffs started, and Kawhi was the only one showed up. Lowry became playoff Lowry most of the time, with occasional sparks. Siakam didn't look like the most improved player. Green was no where to be seen. Gasol looked way passed his prime. VanVleet wasn't shooting with confidence. Besides Kawhi, all other Raptors players just not feeling it most of the time, often passing up open shots without even looking at the basket. Even when they did shoot, you could tell the shooting motion was off, indication of a reluctant shooter. Opponents just picked up of that, daring them to shoot, and crowded Kawhi with two to three players all the time. Granted Bucks are loaded with great players themselves, but if all Raptors play up to their potential, there is a great chance we will be looking at another seven game series. However, at this moment, the more likely scenario is another disappointed year for Raptors fans, with Kawhi returning for another season hanging in the balance.
Who's here after the Raptors won 4 straight?
Coach Nick Nurse needs coaching
Great video love that the musics back but would you consider taking Green out and replace his minutes with van fleet’s and use him just like the clippers used Beverly against the warriors I’m a bucks fan but if the raptors play like they did in game one at home i think they might get the dub
Who else thought the kawhi was gonna take over this game
Kawhi doesnt have the endurance to do that
Oof
PLAY LIN! PLAY LIN!
It’s sad they gave up Jonas when Jonas always played well when he was healthy and was given quality run, he was killing it in Memphis to end the season too
Noti gang.
Squad up!
OG MUSIC IS BACK!
Coach, Do you think the sixers would’ve had a better chance against the bucks?
Told you. You have high hopes for the raptors... unjustified. They win one (1-2) game max. And Bucks not only go to the NBA finals : they win it too.
Agree with the first, second is bull. Bucks defense gives up the most threes and one of the highest opponent three point percentages. They get cooked by the splash bros behind the arc 💯
Yeah, no. Unless KD is still injured, gsw will win the nba finals.
Sherwin poh- Ha Bucks are a terrible matchup for the warriors, no kd Bucks should be heavy favorites, heathy kd it’s a 50/50 series.... here’s what you’re missing steph and klay will get theirs but bucks are better at virtually everything else, especially rebounding
@@kheldaryt yeah, bucks get tons of rebounds, and their paint-heavy defense helps with that. Bucks can't stop the splash, but also Dubs can't stop Giannis. Big scoring games?
@louis With Curry and Klay firing now, bucks will have their hooves full. But now check out Brogdon is back, and he's shooting fantastic. He had a 50/40/90 season. Mirotic, Lopez, Ersan can all score pretty big.
Can GS slow down all the Bucks threats, and the bench too, and Giannis? Man this is going to be fun. I do not predict a short series.
ill give it to the bucks as a raps fan your teams playing great defense with their length and keeping up with their usual offense your team as a whole is playing superior ball other than the first games shooting if and when you make it to GSW i hope you crush them
Ik that imma sound very nationalist but I get angry every time I see those comments " ERSAN IS NOT A KEY PLAYER " . I purely think Ersan carried the last game as he was active both in offense and defense and I also demand you to mention him more
ersan ballen out
the Bucks protected the Forum.. now it's the Raptors turn to protect their house..
keto mo but the bucks have 2 more home games if they keep protecting there house it’s over
@@jeremiahhull7180 Raptors can't worry about that..
I think this series is going 5, raptors take game 3 and bucks take 4 and 5
@@jeremiahhull7180 Nah I think it is going seven
@@mkobd L
Giannis is a monster, they’re winning the eastern conference no doubt 🦌
Wait, did u just say that the Giannis block on Gasol was a foul?? seriously?
Kawhi and Lowry are the only 2 that show up so far in the series. Powell earned more minutes and possibly take Danny's spot in the lineup, Gasol needs to come off the bench so Ibaka can keep pressure on Giannis and keep a fast pace with the team. Raps speed beats Bucks length. Rebounding is the most important, nobody is going for the rebounds and its killed them in game 2 every missed shot Raps took the bucks snatched it away and score a 3 or drive to the paint and most likely get and 1. Raps can tie the series only if Nurse makes adjustments, and get Kawhi rest when they have the lead in 10+ score. VS 76ers Kawhi played not enough minutes and now VS bucks he's playing too many minutes. Nurse needs to find the sweet spot and trust the bench more. Hopefully OG will be back for game 3 because his length and defense is very crucial for the Raps.
Pat McCaw has hella playoff experience filling in for KD when he was hurt two years ago and backing up last year...play him
Not bieng biased, but if Raptors is looking for a miracle, it could still happen. It has happened to the Knicks in 2012-13 season breaking a losing streak with an unknown D-league player JLin and of course the Hornets who played in the play offs against Heat. The reason i mentioned that is because, from what I've seen on this video, the Raptors offense would have been more effective with JLin as the play maker. And i stress, i'm not saying they could win but their offense would have been more effective. Lin has better court vision, better bball IQ and has more guts than Lowry. Bottom line is that Lin has more experience playnng in this sort intensity.
raps should either start Lin as a combo guard with Lowry and have green come off the bench and use like Cleveland did with korver
Absolutely! Try him, is there anything to lose at this point since you don't have no one else to rotate anymore? Ha, ha. No matter how you rotate, it is just the same guys!!!
Give JLin Danny’s PT. He won’t miss floaters/ layups and is a decent defender with length
The Coach is kind of salty, bucks are killing Toronto. It’s so obvious. Stay humble coach..
who;s the coach
OURSIS THEFURY coach nick
Bet ya Raptors take the next 4 straight.
#WeTheNorth
This aged really well
Kawhi has become too ball dominant now, and he can’t really pass or setup teammates.
this is correct. he plays like a ballhog now it is hard to watch. he has never been particularly good at breaking down double team and finding open teammates but with this 'system' he simply has to shoot it every time he is in iso. close to zero ball movement and completely lack of chemistry. i laugh so hard when people start comparing him to jordan. the one thing i really admire about leonard's game--his shot selection has also been gone. and you can tell he suffers big time trying to get open with his predictable dribbles and footwork, along with his slow foot speed. leonard isnt fast and smart enough to evade traps to be honest, even the poor-man jordan named kobe was better at that.
popeyeisgood Kawhi has looked good in these playoffs at the expense of his teammates. That’s what casual fans don’t understand.
What are the both of you talking about? Gasol, Green and Lowry have become dependent on Kawhi and constantly feed him the ball and overlook open shots themselves. Gasol has been doing this the most. Just look at everyone field goal percentages, it's absolutely abysmal. His teammates are shitting the bed and if I was Kawhi i wouldn't even pass them the ball at this point. The coach is also a moron and can't make simple adjustments, and he constantly puts VanVleet on the court despite him being a massive liability. Also the coach puts 3 small guards (Powell, Lowry and VanVleet) at the same time despite the Raptors having rebound issues as well.
wais_45 Gasol was balling out earlier this season with Memphis. Kawhi just isn’t a playmaker. He averages 2.4 assists for his career.
@@spikespiegel7442 It doesn't really matter if he was balling in Memphis. Not sure how you guys can blame Kawhi when his teammates are feeding him the ball and want him to run iso plays. Im convinced you haven't watched any of the raptors games. Toronto's bench and coach got exposed after game 2 vs Philly. Nick Nurse still hasn't made any major adjustments and because of that Toronto is fucked
Credit should be given to Coach Bud. His rotations are on point and he has mismatches all over the court. Plus he has a more dependable and productive bench who know their roles. Their defense is disrupting the Raptors offense and only Kawhi is consistently scoring. This is what Bud has envisioned where all 5 players can hit the 3 to which Pop was reluctant to use when he was on the Spurs. His Hawks team had the same blueprint but this time he has Giannis as his superstar. Ironic that his Hawks were dismantled by LeBron but now he has the Hawks gameplan and the LeBron in Giannis in the same team! Let us see how they perform in Toronto as playoff experience is their weakest link.
I never really know what the fuck going on but I been watching this guy’s videos for like a year now
Nurse is just unfaithful for the bench. Let JLin play more and YES. Let kawhi guard Giannis. Gasol and Green needs to step up because I’m starting to want Delon, CJ, and Jonas back
Im starting to think that the Gasol trade ruined our chances of making it to the finals. Masai should have gotten shooters instead of trading Jonas..
you shouldn't make premature conclusions in your videos in the same way you said that Embiid's dunk vs the Raptors ended the series in the eastern semifinals
SirRoger yeah coach needs to stfu
Y'all are delusional Craptors fanboys the Bucks ain't the sixers this series is *OVER.*
@@altair4045 lmao Raptors win. you were saying?
@@altair4045 - Looks like you're the only delusional one.
I think kawhi can guard giannis as long as his offensive role is more "off-ball" like middletons, where he takes more shots rather than dribble penetration to pass badly. I think kawhi is one of the raptors better shooters, he's also not unconfident, which seems to be a factor in green and gasol's play right now.
Music is back!
woooo it's back!
Man i am so proud to be a Milwaukee Bucks fan this year, have been waiting for these moments since 2013...
This is a very fair conference game. I think raptors still have the chance, specially when you see kawhi already hitting a buzzer. But doesn’t mean he still can. GG to whoever wins, I don’t care since I love both the teams.
There's no reason for the Bucks to bother changing their zone drop defense against the Raptors as long as Ibaka/Gasol are out there and Siakam's not shooting with confidence. Against the Warriors I'd expect them to switch more often like they did against the Celtics after Game 1. I'd expect them to switch 1-4 and zone drop of Looney/Bogut when they're out there and if the Warriors go death lineup they should put Giannis at the 5 and switch everything.
yeah as soon as raptors beat 6ers i was saying bucks were gonna beat the raptors in 4
Dorknite died when they vaulted the pump.
Derek A that’s when i quit idk how to change my pic
lol
Should never have fired Dwayne Casey. After the pedestrian performance by DeRozan in SAS, you realize it was never the coach’s fault. I’d argue the young pieces in Toronto actually played better under Casey.
thr bucks defeated the raptors in game 1 with a poor 3 point shooting. so there was no chance for them to win this series. the bucks was ready for the finals.
sorry what? you mean the shitty bucks
Time to bench Marc Gasol. He’s a liability. Can’t score, can’t defend. Give Chris Boucher a try instead of Gasol.
What makes you think that kawhi can guard giannis tho?
No single defender can stop an offensive super star but if Kawhi is locked in on defense he can slow down anyone. For example whatch what he did to LeBron in the 2014 Finals
The Sixers would have put up a better fight,
a dog fight, i see a split in Toronto and closeout in Milwaukee
Jesus Christ, Brogdon's release looks funky.
Holy shit. You called the Game 3 adjustment of putting Kawhi on giannis
Giannis has a huge height advantage vs kawhi
Γιώργος Τσούπης Giannis has dominated Gobert, I don’t think Kawhi can do anything
Don't get why Nurse don't like Powell. He torched the bucks a couple years ago in the playoffs.
And he torched us again
On point!
Series is over guys.. I dont even wanna see the raptors play if they don't change their roster.
Zhawin Lagman over ?
@@blakehoule6698 I knew they would lose if they didn't changed their roster. So there's actually no reason to question my comment lol.
@@TooShawn - They didn't change their roster. In fact, it's impossible to change a roster in playoffs.
Zhawin Lagman they literally had the same players lol.. everyone was wanting Lin to play over Van Vleet when he was the difference maker in the last few games.
but, but, nick told me the raptors were gonna win the war. give me a break. bucks have a deep bench and more talent than the kawhi solo act.
I like opening music
