Looked like they were going to start well than a few bad turnovers and some missed shots.

So the bucks have adjusted, Giannis isn't getting the ball in transition anymore very often at all. Which is fine, but it's going to require some quick reactions on defense when they do get it to him.

EDIT: The difference so far is that the Bucks are hitting shots. They didn't last game. That last one by Ilyasova was absolutely ridiculous.

Three more quarter until Drake gets banned from Toronto for say they were already in the Finals.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

That was horrendous. 6/19? That's... quite something.

I think the Raps are playing fine. They’re doing two small things wrong but it’s alright. They’re not taking threes when they’re open (passing it off instead); and they’re just missing good shots. It’ll turn around because fundamentally they’re alright.

[TheAlpineOracle]

As long as we are within single digits at halftime it will be fine.

Raptors look like they don't have a plan on offence. Swinging the ball around the perimeter but nobody wants the quick shot except for Green who isn't hitting them or to go inside (for good reason). I think the adjustment is to either take everyone to the perimeter and isolate with Leonard or Siakam or look for the midrange.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

They aren't contesting offensive boards, they are tentative on offense and they aren't getting inside (except Powell and Siakam once or twice). Basically, they're playing well on defense but Milwaukee has hit their shots, but they have lots of room to improve at the other end.

[Senator Clay Davis]

It's also just possible Milwaukee is the better team and after three straight terrible performances were due to play well.

[Senator Clay Davis]

But yeah Green is unplayable right now. Obviously gotta rally tonight cause Game 7 will be a slaughter.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

A 24 second violation there is just unforgivable.

Unreal how badly they're playing offensively. It should actually be a much bigger lead, but they're playing well defensively, which tells you how utterly inept this performance has been.

Vanvleet on fire again tonight.

Gasol and Ibaka invisible on O again . Getting outscored by 17 by their Centers

And they're gonna foul out

[Scornfire]

Wow, how many 3s has vleet sunk already

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Don’t breathe on the big guy tonight. They’re giving him everything.

Mrs. VanVleet has one job now. Drop the birth control every August.

Should probably be tied or 2 point game at the half. Either way, gotta come out strong in the third, don't let this game come down to close calls at the end.
