Series Thread: ECF: 1) Milwaukee Bucks vs 2) Toronto Raptors

The Raptors had a great defensive game plan. They were essentially playing a packline style defense every time Giannis handled the ball at the top.

Giannis is going to have to learn that you can't just put your head down and dribble through that much help. Bud also needs to devise a couple quick hitter options getting flair screens for his best shooters. Maybe get Middleton going with some off ball action.

Toronto impressed me last night with their grit. Let's see if they can do it again game 5

Kawhi double dribbled on that dunk

Giannis travelled on a dunk early in the game. Call that and we’re all home by 9:30 instead of after 2OT.

Yep all credit to the Raptors defense, Giannis hasn't gone off yet in this series (other than G2), that is very impressive. 12 points and 8 TO's won't get it done, I don't care how great your supporting cast is but they almost pulled it off, crazy how great this supporting cast is...they have so much chemistry especially defensively. Toronto is also a great defensive team though too.

Forget about game 5 for a moment. I wanna see what the Raptors do in game 4 first. :heh:

I think Toronto has been the better team in two of three games and Giannis not playing well/being neutralized is the only reason for that.

Actually he didn't... I know some refs would call it a travel, but it would be their fault if they did... Giannis stops dibbling the ball while his front foot only is on the floor (the rear is on the air), therefore there is no extra step that he took... It's just that the last dibble he took, was so damn fast that fooled a lot of viewers... If his real leg would have been on the ground when he stopped dribbling, then it would have been a travel...

IMO, Kwahi's double jump in the final minutes of the 4th quarter, was obvious and the refs should have called that.

So both Giannis & Kawhi got away w/ a travel last night but only Kawhi should have been called for it? :crazy:

Troll on & if you're really a Bucks fan keep those Homer Goggles super glued to your head.

look at the 1st of what you call a step... his rear foot is on the air before he grabs the ball... therefore there is no step. He stops dibbling while his rear leg isn't on the ground, therefore you start counting steps from his front foot...

Shanemansj13 · May 20, 2019

Toronto has competed very hard in this series with much less depth. They could be up 2-1 if not for the Game 1 collapse. Tells you how great Kawhi is and I remember someone saying I was crazy for thinking Kawhi being the best 2 way player in the game lol.

So you're the only person that thinks he didn't travel. Got it.

Charles Barkley is on agreement with me.

Wasn't someone recently saying Paul George will be in Milwaukee next year?

Toronto payed their best and it still took 2 OT's to scure the win. The Bucks should win this series.

The rules aren't a matter of agreement... The refs are there to make sure that the rules are applied correctly, the video proves that they did right not to call a travel, because there was no violation of the rules... just watch the video.

Giannis takes one last dribble with only his front (left) foot on the floor... therefore steps count there after.
