Props to the Bucks for turning this into a watchable series again.
Now down to a best of 3.

Crying about a team being physical is lame. Are the Bucks supposed to be soft with KD so he can get whatever he want? Nash is a fool for his comment

Someone needs to remind him that it's the playoffs.

It's annoying when someone like Harden does the shit but when you're 6 foot 11 and can get your shot off on anyone his theatrics in multiple occasions today were beyond ridiculous. As has been said this is the playoffs. Man up and play through it.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Perk, Pierce, and Baby are a bunch of odd ducks.

I don't mind Perk as much but he tends to have a Barkley mouth without the Barkley game.

 

[tlance]

Did it? I couldn't quite tell. It did look like he rolled it a little farther than you'd expect for the way it happened though.

We will see.

High or not, it didn’t look like a quick turnaround variety.

It is gamesmanship. This is what coaches do.

You lose a game, your team is on the ropes, you use the media to try to gain an advantage any way possible.

If his comments gain a couple extra FTs for KD at some point, then it could be the difference in a close game.

Nash is no fool. He may not even believe what he said. But he has to try to create advantages any way he can because his team is short handed.

Probably won't be enough to win this series. Bucks-6ers for the conference finals

Yeah, regardless of type. he rolled that pretty far.

Well, BG and Harris sure didn't step up last night when Irving went down.

Spacing is a little different without Kyrie out there.

BG has averaged just 6.7ppg the last 3 games and Harris has made just 3 of 13 treys the last 2 games.

again though…

Harris is a great complementary piece when there are 3 dynamic, creative scorers the defense has to stop first.

If he is your second option?

He is pretty easy to guard.

Nets in trouble if they don’t get Harden back.

He's supposed to be one of the best outside shooters in the game.....allegedly.

Yep, it's like KCP with the Lakers. Healthy Lebron and AD....he's a 40%+ shooter from 3. One or both of them are out...he struggles.

Just like usually playing better at home than on the road...that's just how it is with role players.

 

[DJ]

Middleton has played well the last 2 games, big reason the Bucks have won the last 2.

 

[Duckboy33]

Lebron wasn't close to 100% with a high ankle sprain. Just having Lebron at 100%, probably gets them past the Suns. But yeah, with him hurt, as soon as AD went down, series was over.

Lebron being hurt is like my buddy claiming his 97 Civic isn't running well. I'm sure he wasn't 100% but of course he wasn't. LeBron has played a ton of minutes over his career.

Doesn’t that also apply to KD and Kyrie as well?

The minutes he's played weren't the issue. The high ankle sprain that he was dealing with was the issue. Obviously, Lebron at 100% at age 36 isn't the same thing as Lebron at 100% at age 30. But it's still enough to get the Lakers past the 1st round and maybe the 2nd round of the playoffs. I don't think he gets them to the finals though. Not with AD out.
