Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) Bucks vs 6) Pacers

[trojanfan12]

If we lose it'll be because they're the 3 and we're the 6... It won't be because of any "poor style of play" nonsense.

They are the 3 without their best player.

In the playoffs, the defense picks up, the refs don't call as much, the game slows down and becomes more physical.

The Pacers averaged 123 ppg and gave up 120 ppg in the regular season. You're not going to win a lot of games playing like that.

Yeah.

Cane with the lame excuse.

Bucks are more than capable of winning this series without Giannis. They have a well put together roster and Dame is still a top 15 player without Giannis

Bucks can’t miss

Without Dame?

Why would they be without him?

Top 15? I bet I can come up with 15 I’d rather have. But top 20ish yes

Pacers are here to play. Going to be a fun one

I mean that's your opinion but Dame is still one of the best in the league when he turns into Portland Dame. Would love to see his splits without Giannis. Got to think he is around 30/6 with very efficient shooting numbers

Looks like now they are forcing the ball out of Dame’s hands. Took them 5 quarters to figure it out

 

[Mebert]

Yeah.

Cane with the lame excuse.

Which is crazy because he is known for his rock solid analysis.

Yep as i thought. Top 15 player without Giannis and wouldn't be much of a debate

Damian Lillard averaged 29.9 points, 7.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 8 games without Giannis Antetokounmpo this season.

Also he is shooting 45% in those games

To put this in perspective, he was at 32/7/5 last year in Portland on 46% shooting

how did that work?

 

[bksballer89]

I must say Siakam is impressing me in the playoffs. Stepped up his game big time

I’ll consider the source given that you took a quote of @DJ of all people.

You consider whatever you want. Everything about you on the forums is a joke, your take on another poster means nothing.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Call a foul 5 seconds later. Wow

 

[bksballer89]

Spicy P amazing.

Pacers up 9 going to the 4th

So you admit you’re part of a cult?

Not respecting your opinion is not a cult, it is common sense.

Just the second playoff game of this core, yet…

“poor style of play”

Sure.
