Why was Joseph so open? I need to see that play again. I don't know where the poor defensive rotation happened.

I would've been more comfortable with Terry taking a 3 in that situation than Giannis.

But yeah, that's a decision that should've been made "sooner". Bucks will learn from this though. Hopefully they try to bring in another shooter or two, if they can't develop anyone on the roster.

Good game Rap fans, hopefully it becomes a rivalry moving forward.

No thanks, i've seen enough of Jason Kidd as a head coach against this Raptors teams.

Send Snell to Canada and don't let his ugly *** back.

Re: 2017 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

That inexperience in playoff pressure situations will do it for you I guess. Cause that was brutal for Giannis. Taking the two down three is fine when you have the ball and 13 seconds left even without a timeout, but you have to go immediately and get that two cause you have to account for the very possibility that they make two free throws when you foul them. Granted it's Snell, but even as he was driving Snell was right there open on the wing for a 3. I thought Giannis was going to pass it to him as he was driving, but he finished the dunk and I was stunned.

I knew the series was far from over earlier on. That inexperience will bite you.

But the Bucks are gonna be a problem in the East for years to come.

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was almost one of the most epic choke jobs i've seen the Raptors pull off. I gotta say this though, Milwaukee played a helluva game but I think it's fair to say that the officiating was just DEPLORABLE in the later stages of this game.

Still, it was a hard fought game and that Bucks team will be a tough team for years to come if they build around the Greek Freak the right way.

Officiating at end of the game was just horrible. If Raptors lost, they deserved to lose with one of biggest chokejobs you'll see in any sport(they'd make Leafs 4-1 jokes go away so quickly). But it's nothing new in Tony Brothers reffed games. I was looking at betting lines throughout the day and it kept on shifting from Bucks to Raptors all day long(coincidentally,it happened AFTER refs were announced,before that it was stuck on Bucks for past few days). Tony Brothers reffing Raptors games has lead to alot of suspect late game calls throughout past number of years. Some times the questionable calls just covering the spread.

Cavs had viewing party of the game tonight. You know this is probably them watching the game:

I know why they were chanting it, but I always find these USA chants amusing when the hometeam stars at least one player who isn't even from USA. Chanting "USA!USA!USA!" when a guy literally called the GREEK freak is YOUR franchise guy seems kinda funny.

My man Maj up north recovering from a near heart attack right now lol

That was the most frustrating ending to a game ever. Never thought I'd be as upset about a series win as I am about this one. Raptors just most inconsistent team I've ever seen. Doesn't even happen on game to game basis. It literally happens on a possession by possession basis.

I mean y'all chant "WE THE NORTH" and your franchise player is from the US so it's not much different, haha.

Re: 2017 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

That's more of a team/fanbase slogan though. USA chants aren't a slogan or anything.

No guarantees tho. Plenty of teams never progress beyond "a year or two away." Gotta cash in when you can.

Re: 2017 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Raptors, eh?

Cavs in 4. If Raptors fans really think PJ Tucker is gonna slow down LeBron...



Also, Giannis really is gonna be the next LeBron if he keeps shooting FTs like that.

The thing is, I don't think Lebron is the reason why Cavs win this series. Looking how Raptors have played all season(and prior seasons with Casey and his horrible defense), Frye and Korver are gonna be the stars of this series. My bold prediction is Korver is breaking some kind of 3 record in the series. Either Vince Carters record which has stood for over 15 years(most 3s in a half, or most consecutive 3s) or Klays record for most 3s in a game.

Lebron will get the easy dunks whenever he wants because Raptors just watched Giannis do whatever he wanted in the paint this series. But just making multiple passes has Raptors D looking like chickens with their heads cut off, and someone is guaranteed to get an open look from 3. Korver being wide open from 3......game over.
