You know he is not going to take this abuse forever. Raps doing a great job on him but not just that, they rotate pretty good too when he kicks it out.
Bucks will tighten the screws though. It is unavoidable. Raps had a lot of uncontested shots in the first half, likes of they have not seen in the Philly series. That cannot last.

Giannis isn't kicking out fast enough and has had some poor passes that half as well. They also aren't mixing it up, can't always give it to him at the top of the key and tell him to go 1 on 4. Do some pick and roll, give it to him on the baseline, etc.

This is a dream game for the Raps in many ways and they are stupidly turning the ball over in the moments where they can put some space between them and the Bucks. When it is close, Bucks can always find a way .

I was just thinking, will anyone make a three pointer in this quarter and Siakam closed the quarter with one. Pathetic long range shooting from everyone on the floor.

Retarded play from Giannis. There are 2 seconds left, you can't give up an uncontested 30 footer there. Total lack of awareness.

Bucks giving up easy offensive boards has been huge too. Poor effort all around.

Raps had their chance, blew it. They will look back at this game...

Far from over man. If Bucks lose they will regret having Lowry go off and if Raps lose they will be pissed about Lopez. I think Raps should give it to Siakam a lot more unless Giannis is on him. There is no one else on the team that can check him.

Absolutely no excuse for Giannis to be resting in the 4th

Bledsoe comes in, gives up wide open 3 and then misses wide open 3.

Wow...the guy is averaging 8 points in the post season, kills the Raps with 29. Good defense too from Lopez.

Raps will be pissed about this one for sure. They have a right to be. Finally Kawhi got help but the Lopez factor.

That's a gut punch loss but only one game just like the Boston blowout in game 1 last series. Game 2 does seem almost like a must win for Raps.

Folks keep saying the Warriors don't have a good bench. But given the way said bench is performing, at what point is everyone forced to reassess? I mean really... is the bench from 3 years ago actually better than the one we're seeing now? Or is that just another narrative to dispute what we're seeing in front of our eyes?

Strong start from the Bucks and I like it better this way. I want Raps to chase, not lead like the last game.
