Bucks will win game 6

[thomorino]

Paul carried him last year tho. Minute Paul went down Series was over cause harden a loser.

Not that I care last year was Harden's MVP year, Paul did not carry him, and Harden did his job after Paul got hurt, Houston lost game 7 because their role players were garbage- Ariza missed a hundred 3's.

[thomorino]

Jordan was the biggest cry baby ever. He got phantom calls all the time. Let’s not forget the bums Jordan had to play. Shooting over Craig Ehlo for crying out loud lol. 60% of those guys not even athletic enough to play in today’s game. Imagine Detleff Shrimp trying to stop Lebron lmao

I grew up in Chicago area - you're wrong. That Cleveland team was loaded - this was before the expansion teams came in so their were fewer teams and more talent. That Cleveland team had Nance, Daughtery, Price, Wilkins, many good players. There's a reason they took the Bulls to 5 and almost beat them.

Sure. Houston up 3-2. Paul goes down and harden can’t win a game. Whatever tho. I’m growing tired of you making excuses, we see enough of that every time you lose a play. Caption therma king of excuses.

Yes that Cavs team was the#3 seed vs #6 bulls. They were pretty stacked back then.

[Eddy Munny]

Bucks ship has sailed. They're lucky it wasn't over in five. The problem now is that they are psychologically defeated because they've lost three games in a row and they don't know who to go to in crunch time. Raps have imposed their will onto this series and the Bucks are looking around for answers. I don't think Toronto will let this go back to Milwaukee. Knockout punch coming game 6.

Fuk off

[thomorino]

Not that I care you don't know dik and you talk out of your ass. Harden was the MVP last year and your dumbass is arguing Paul carried him - that's a joke. Harden was great in the playoffs last year - Houston lost because the Warriors are the best team the NBA has seen in at least 2 decades and Houston's role players were garbage.

Houston with Harden is the only team that has challenged the Warriors in the entire NBA and Houston was the second best team in the league last year- it wasn't close.

Steve Nash won 2 mvp’s. Clearly a joke award just like you a joke poster.

Nash made a big impact on games, Shawn Marion couldn't shoot or dribble and averaged 20 a game.

If he was black those awards woulda been kobe’s As they should have been.

[thomorino]

Nash's seasons with Dantoni were incredible, the Suns had the best record in the league and the Donaghy led refs fuked them that year against the Spurs, series wasn't rigged but heavily manipulated.

[ThaTopMoron]

its over now raps win game 6

Jordan was draymond without the techs. not as physically dramatic, but could get in a refs face and yell at him with no recourse, and promptly get the very next call down court. he controlled the refs like no one ever. if mike got 5 fouls in close game, believe he wasn't gonna get called for a sixth. and don't try and take a charge against jordan cause you're gonna get ran over, dunked on, and the foul called on you as well lol.

one of Paco's worst posts right here

[DavidGoliath5003]

I think this has all the makings of a 7 game series. Kawhi with a clutch performance here. Giannis needs his moment now. And then it’ll come down to game 7. At this point in series’, it comes down to stars. Just look at all the legends through history. I feel both Kawhi and Giannis are on that level. He could drop 40, he could get a triple double, whatever the defense dictates. But he hasn’t had that moment yet this series.

Lol Giannis is nowhere near Kawhis level. Toronto knows how to defend Giannis. This will end in 6

[Goat Milk]

I think people are knee jerk reacting like usual on SBR. Some valid points made in here especially about Giannis lack of shooting, but that was predictable going into this series. A lot of the same people that are now saying this series is finished were saying it was finished when Bucks were up 2-0. NBA is all about adjustments and one thing I think you might see next game is Giannis spending more time on Kawhi. I think Kawhi really struggles when guarded by Giannis, and the opposite is true as well with Kawhi guarding Giannis.

Siakam has not proven he can be an impact player in this series and the Bucks should roll the dice and make him beat them.

I also think that Gasol in particular has been very timid in this series and I think that can easily come back to haunt Toronto in a crucial game 6. Like, I said at the start of the playoffs, Van Vleet is a baller. He's honestly won the last 2 games for Toronto. He hit the biggest shot of game 5 with 2 min to go to put Toronto up by 3, and they never looked back. I highly doubt we see Vanvleet drop 7 3s again like that.

Another adjustment is that they can give Giannis the ball on the low block more. That has pretty much worked every time, even against Kawhi, he just rises and dunks right over him.

I can spend all day analyzing this, but realistically, this has the makings of a 7 game series, and I personally think it's far from over. I seem to be in the very small minority on SBR, which is a good thing.

[Goat Milk]

I mean I just can easily see Giannis having a 40 point night, or a triple double. The way they're cramming the paint, Bucks shooters are literally wide open so many times. The adjustments are there, but guys have to watch the film and recognize it. Bucks feel like a team who are together, so it would not surprise me to see this series go the distance. I've watched a lot of these types of series' unfold through many years of the NBA.

We shall see.

If Toronto wins I'll tip my hat to them.

The difference is you can't guard double team Leonard easily because he's a great shooter,Giannis needs to get into the paint to score, which is why he's much easier to double. Its a shooters league, Giannis's inability to shoot was going to show up eventually.

[asiagambler]

Giannis hasn't been passing to the wide open shooters. That's been part of the issue. The other part is that he hasn't been getting the calls the last few games either. Free throw disparity was huge in Game 5 and doesn't help that Giannis only made 4 of 9. That and 3 point shooting was biggest difference.

I think Bucks will get favourable calls in Game 6 facing elimination and they should be able to force a Game 7. Bledsoe needs to be better too. He's been so timid and I don't know why. He's not even trying to take anyone off the dribble.

[pavyracer]

Refs will help Bucks. NBA wants a game 7 so Durant can rest.

[greypimps]

bucks is just a one man crew.. no way man.. toronto will slaughter them tomorrow..

[jjgold]

Toronto easy

City fired up

[Cuse0323]

Shouldn’t be that difficult to adjust to the four defenders packing the middle, but they shit the bed against it in game 5. Time for coach Bud to earn his keep. Lean Bucks. Warriors resting up to spank either of them so fck if I care who wins.

[Outsider626]

They know how to stop overrated Greek. Just put 3 man in the middle and he got nowhere to go.

He’s overrated, but it takes 3-4 guys to stop him. Gotcha.

[Outsider626]

He is. He can't shoot the ball or pass. His only advantage is his height and strength. So yeah 1 on 1 it's hard to stop him. He will get to the rim. If you put 2-3 guys in the middle he loses the ball every time. He is a better version of Ben Simmons.

[bosigga]

Anybody else like the over 212?

The "Wall" works when the supporting cast, especially Middleton, is missing open shots. If they hit those shots, like they have most of the season, the middle opens a bit for Giannis and he can do some damage. If the rest of the team can knock down more than a few tomorrow, you'll see a Game 7 Monday!

Raptors by 6 in game 6 in the 6

Fred VanVleet on shooting 80-per-cent from three since the birth of his son, Fred Jr. on Monday: "That's the formula, no sleep, have lots of babies and let it fly"

[shadymcgrady]

Kawhi made a very strong case for best player in the league last game. He took what the defense gave him and cashed in the clutch repeatedly.

Giannis doing the same in terms of taking what the defense is dictating, Toronto forced him to pass outside for the open threes and the supporting cast failed over and over again.

The thing that is overlooked is Giannis is not beating his man off the dribble. When your man stays in front of you and you are in the lane out of control with multiple arms in your face, you don’t see your teammates and you turn the ball over. They are not helping on Giannis when he is catching, they are helping when he’s committed to his moves. Hard to see your teammates when you are going too fast ahead with bodies in front of you.

It seems more like you are in denial and not believing what you are seeing. The raptors have the best player on the court(maybe the entire league) in their home court. If they haven’t rested Leonard 20 games in the season, the raptors would have had a better record than the bucks. Even so, they only have 2 less wins. The raptors are the BETTER team which seems to baffle a lot of posters and gamblers here.

[Snowball]

Bucks great year but still not ready for finals

raps more together and better bench
