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

[Hambombs]

I have no idea how the raptors win more than 1 game in this series

Toronto won the series already

 

[DJ]

A bit premature to make such a bold statement when Toronto hasn't even played at home, don't you think?

Yeah, going home could cure their ails.

 

[Hambombs]

Easily! Oops.

Still a lot of time left

This team is too deep and too good for toronto.

Toronto usually good to lose a home game in the playoffs.

My guess is they win game 3, lose game 4, and milwaukee close them out in game 5.

Toronto needs to play almost perfect or the bucks must be ice cold

 

[Robotech]

Wow, Serge Ibaka really sucks.

 

[msgkings322]

Toronto wins tonight

Wins what?

 

[Bart]

Easily! Oops.

You love to troll, don't you?

 

[Robotech]

Wins what?

Blooper reel winner.

 

[bksballer89]

9 points for giannis and 5 from middleton.

They're up 19

You love to troll, don't you?

Not as much as you love to whine

 

[bksballer89]

Ilyasova and Brogdon with the same amount of points as the entire raptors starting lineup

Bucks, Raptors, Sixers...I don't think it would have mattered. There was clearly something wrong internally with that team.

Player for player, they are probably the most talented team in the East. But something wasn't right and they clearly couldn't put it aside enough to play as a team.

I don't know if they need to rebuild just yet. This is supposed to be where they start to reap the rewards of the rebuild they just went through.

But they definitely have some decisions to make. Kyrie likely makes the decision on whether or not to keep him, for them because he's probably gone.

But do they want to try to trade for AD or someone else?

Do they want to try to add a complimentary piece or 2 via FA and/or a minor trade?

Or do they think Kyrie was the problem and run it back with basically the same group as last year, only with a healthy Hayward?

No they aren't.

Celtics don't have the superstar.

They are overrated because the young guys overachieved in the playoffs last year. Both the Bucks and 6ers are more talented, and the Raptors are a better team.

Celtics were capable of beating anybody because the gap between 2-4 is narrow, but Milwaukee has separated from the pack. They are really, really good.

 

[trojanfan12]

I am surprised.

Don't see how anybody could think Toronto is better than Milwaukee after watching the firsts 2 rounds
Of the playoffs and realizing MIL has gone court.

This is a fantastic team.

Because if you switch the series each team played the results would likely be about the what they were. Toronto probably sweeps Detroit and takes the Celtics out in 5 or 6 and the Raptors probably take the Magic in 6 and Sixers in 6 or 7.

Imo, it's hard to judge the Bucks based on the Celtics series because the Celtics basically quit.

The Raptors may very well regret not getting HCA and letting game 1 get away from them though.

That's impossible, I think you have no idea how much you troll. You have over 30,000 posts and I'm sure out of all those posts only three of them are not troll posts.

I don't think so.

Milwaukee might have swept Philly.

Seriously.

5 games tops.

And Boston might have beaten Toronto.

This team is on a different level than the rest of the East. You will be convinced of that by the end of this series.

 

[Hambombs]

It's far from over. Warriors blew a 31 point lead

 

[MizzouFalcon]

So Milwaukee is pretty good.

 

[Robotech]

Reading comments from Raptors fans on Twitter and another site complaining that refs are rigging this game. More like the Raptors themselves, especially Gasol, are rigging this game.

Do the Bucks scare you as a GS fan?

yeah... only difference is that the Raps aren't GSW, nor the Bucks are the Blazers...
