Not really. The Bucks only lost 8 games at home all year and they're the best team in the East, so losing two on the road to them shouldn't be too surprising. Now obviously to win the series we'll have to steal on in MIL, but I wouldn't be full on panicking just being down 2-0.

 

Now if we get blown out in game 2 and lose game 3 or 4 then we panic.

 

In 2016, Raps lost the first two in Cleveland and came back here and won 2 in Toronto to tie the series up.

 

Still, the Raps need to come away from Milwaukee with a split or else I don't see how they have a chance at beating them.

Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

The Cavs took a total dive those two games, was an easy sweep but the league asked for two more games to be strained out for the $$$

Lol. I love how you guys always spout these conspiracy theories, mostly with the refs.

In this day-and-age, if the NBA were really even remotely pressuring a referee to make certain calls for certain teams, don’t you think there would be one whistleblower somewhere? Either a ref themselves or someone at the referee union.

 

Can you imagine the fallout if that ever happened? The whole league office, commissioner and all, would be totally wiped out and they’d lose billions without a doubt in lost revenue from advertisers/tv deals/fan backlash

The rebounding was the problem. Bucks got so many f***ing second chances with offensive rebounds.

 

Good news: Lopez probably won't repeat that game

Bad news: Lowry probably won't sink all those threes next game.

 

I have to disagree with Abomination. The Raptors deserved to lose that game fair and square.

 

For the Raptors to win this series, they have to play a perfect game in those 4 wins. The Bucks on the other hand can get away with an imperfect game and still win. Case in point, tonight.

 

Yeah, it was definitely offensive rebounds and our bench, that 4th quarter... Woof!

Shut up, meat. Go find a team to route for, I guess it's the Lakers as you have your head stuck firmly up Lebron's ass. *lol... in typing that, I could just see your little limbs flailing away four feet off the ground*

What a game...

I hate GSW

 

Portland's own fault. My god, their defense in the second half was horrendous

Damian must have had his watch set to the wrong time zone :)

 

Basically a mirror of our game. Hopefully we show them how it should be done tomorrow.

 

It wasn't really a mirror because Portland's offense was fine. It was insane how many uncontested layups/dunks the Warriors got. The Raptors didn't play awful defense, they just couldn't shoot.

No, the Raptors played awful defense, at least from a rebounding perspective.

 

Shooting was fine at the team level because Lowry's hot streak offset the rest of the team. If the team grabs four of Gasol's clunkers like Milwaukee seemed to do after half of their missed shots the game might still be going on.

This team does not have a consistent attack.. It is either all or nothing.... Not going to get far against stiffer competition like that..

 

What does this even mean
