Series Thread: 2nd Round: Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets

[jontaejones]

This isn't the regular season. You don't basically try to intentionally lose just because you have a game 7 at home. You go for the kill shot on Thursday night

You never try to lose, but I understand resting him to get him at maximum strength for Game 7.

I'll be honest, if Kyrie wasn't hurt, he's prolly doesn't play tonight.

I agree about that.

 

[jontaejones]

Giannis isn't an MVP. He's offensively challenged. I've never seen a player stifled as much as him when guarded by a much shorter player. I hope the Bucks lose this series, I'm tired of watching him struggle to score.

They're not done yet. He's been much better than last year.

And Holiday as another shot maker is huge.

I actually think if they can get past the Nets, they can win it all.

 

[jontaejones]

I agree about that.

I think the Nets would rather have Irving for a Game 7...

I wouldn't play Irving but assuming Harden feels ok tomorrow then he will play in G6

 

[bksballer89]

lol

That's not what I meant.

I meant if both were healthy for a take all game, and you could only play one with Durant, you go with Irving.

But for a whole series ... Harden.

Sometimes you just tip your cap to Durant

It is not about all the "what ifs" for Milwaukee coaches, Giannis' basketball IQ, or whether he can guard KD.

Sometimes a great player just dominates and there is no armchair quarterback answer to it.

49/17/10 had never been done before in the post-season.

Nobody was stopping Durant tonight.

I hope the Bucks get blown out in Game 6. They can't legally make this game 5 loss count twice but it should so a blowout next game is the next best thing.

Y'all hate the Nets so much, you're taking it personally LOL

 

[msgkings322]

Really though. Maybe better coaching wouldn't have mattered or stopped KD from going supernova. But I'd have liked to see what would have happened. Budenholzer sucks.

I don't hate the Nets. I'm way more offended by the shitty basketball the Bucks play. Game 3 and the 2nd half of this game are some of the worst basketball I've seen a professional team play in years.

Check out a Twolves game....

That could be true but I think they may have trouble with the Clips, the other teams seem beatable.

But @DJ was out here quoting my post yesterday because the Bucks tied the series lol.

Celebrating when a series is tied 2-2 like the the series was done is wild

You would think he would learn.

So many swings this year.

A series isn’t over until the team loses 4 games.

 

[tlance]

And I got mocked for saying the Nets needed him this series

He is a solid player.

Poses matchup issues because he can shoot, and he can guard Lopez because of the way the Bucks use Lopez.

Hell, I think I could guard Brook Lopez if all he is going to do is stand behind the 3 point line.

I'll be honest, if Kyrie wasn't hurt, he's prolly doesn't play tonight.

People were saying how he was hurting the Nets with his play in the first half.

That is dead wrong.

Players like Harden demand attention and create space for others even when they aren’t doing anything.

The Bucks didn’t double KD because they had to account for Harden and Harris.

Great players and great shooters still make the offense better even when they miss every shot they take. Everyone else just gets more space to operate.

Sure.

But only because Brooklyn is hurt, Embiid is hurt, and whoever comes out of the west is just another good team, not a great one.

KD was legendary last night.

However, coaching decisions and defensive coverages allowed him to get rolling and those mistakes were absolutely inexcusable.

A decent Rec ball coach should know enough to change that pick and roll coverage as easy as KD dusted it the first couple times.

Give a great scorer 6 easy buckets in a short span like that and you are playing with fire.

Harden was compromised, Harris was way off. Stay home or rotate to Jeff Green and hard double to get the ball out of KD’s hands. And don’t leave Harris wide open either because you don’t want to give him an easy look to get going.

That is pretty simple basketball right there. Anyone watching that game can identify that. Instead, Slopez sits back at the FT line and tries to pick uP KD with a full head of steam?

No chance.

Have a ever heard of a guy name Ben Simmons. Atleast Giannis attempts a shot
