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

[GNG]

Toronto doubled and triple teamed Giannias but the Bucks adjusted well in the 2nd half.

Snell has had as much playing time as anybody in the 2nd roster... I think you confuse (minor but lengthy) injuries and being in "restricted minutes" with players that are not used... He has even had three starts this season... Still a 40% shooter from beyond the arc and an excellent defender.

He's a dime a dozen player and that is being kind.

As I said before... "who cares what you think?" ...certainly not the GMs or the coaches of teams! ...despite you knowing better of course!

If an argument is gonna start over this Snell topic is there anything I can say to get things moving faster?

Ask him if he'd rather have Kevin Love or Klay Thompson.

Apparently his own coach doesn't think much of him either since he plays as much as you.

Well dammit who does @buckalis currently play for? If it's the Raptors maybe he can get me Kawhi's autograph. And Tony Snell's played in 7 games for the Bucks averaging 0.7 ppg (3 minutes per game).

Ask who? the GM that is in need for a 3&d wing? I won't bother, I don't ask silly questions like "Hey, you are in the market for a 3&d wing... How about ...Thompson, or Love for much more money?"

Never mind. It's a joke w/ some of us in the NBA threads. And welcome to SportsHoopla. I take this site very seriously. And so should you.

I was looking to kill 5-6 hours, so maybe a good time to discuss Love and Klay again.

Maybe later. I think a better topic right now would be to figure out the ways the Lakers can remain a dumpster fire. Like I said before, if it's broke don't fix it.

Here are a couple of good ideas. Fire Vogel before the season starts & replace him w/ Linda Rambis. And give Linda's job to Lavar Ball.


@ChiefsLakers67 what do you think?

I think just keep doing what they've been doing will be just fine.

 

[tlance]

Definitely...Remember Kyrie and Lebron went bezerk. The Bucks definitely have more depth, their youth is on their side and their defense overall is better than that championship CLE team. I still think CLE had a pretty good team the first year -2017, KD went to GS. GS was absolutely on fire that postseason and Finals. They averaged 121 ppg in the Finals lol.

But you could also argue those 2016 and 2017 teams were better than this current GS team. They had more depth. McCaw, West, Pachulia, McGee, Clark.

So the gap between those Cavs teams and Warriors teams in 16 and 17 was bigger than this current Bucks team and Warriors team gap imo.

agree totally

 

[tlance]

Hands down the hardest? Better than the Lebron, Love, Kyrie team? Better seems like a bit of a stretch but not crazy. "Hands down better" just the usual extreme comment I expect.

Well, considering Cleveland win a total of 1 game in 2 years, no I don't think so.

Because Cleveland was an easy matchup for the KD Warriors squads. I don't think Milwaukee will be that at all.

OK, but they only had Kyrie in one of those years. He's pretty good. would also say that GS bench is better than their current version.

Easy matchup? They lost a game by 20+ and another game went to the wire. Game 5 was close into the 4th quarter. Never thought the Cavs would win, but easy's a bit of a stretch. Last year - sans Kyrie - was pretty easy for them.

That 2017 series was never in doubt for a second. Even before it started.

And obviously the '17 Cavs were a lot better then the '18 Cavs.

Honestly though, you still think the '18 Cavs are as good as the current Bucks which is every bit as homeristic an opinion as some of @buckalis takes on Milwaukee's future plans.

I hope Jeanie Buss moves the Lakers back to Minneapolis.
