By livefromkyoto Go To PostBut dude is on drugs if he thinks this is worse than the Araujo or Bargnani eras.Probably but I think your solution to the Bargnani era was a lot clearer (blow it up) than the Derozan/Lowry era. Like, how do you improve this roster with your core two players being who they are in the playoffs? Is it them? Is it the supporting cast? Both? What do you do with Ibaka this summer?
toronto thinks they're playing tough but they're just fouling every other possession
and the refs are actually letting both teams play right now too...

I honestly have no idea. Trade JV & hope for something. Hope for a Lowry sign & trade. Carroll's +/- has actually been the highest on the floor, maybe you can convince somebody he's the vet 3+D guy they need and clear some cap space.
They probably can't just let Lowry walk because they're capped out & it would just be a regression, at least in the regular season. But carrying that salary in the post-season for 5 years is killer if he's just going to keep laying eggs.
On the other hand Delon Wright has been a better player in this series.
I honestly also think Lowry/Derozan look as good as they do cause they play in the East. They'd be a fringe playoff team in the West.

You say this as though that's not what Kidd told his team to do since game 1. He knows the refs won't call everything.

raps are playing hyper aggressive on the man and the first pass, but monroe under the rim just now? ibaka has to turn around and beg wright to help with what should be an easy double team and trap under the basket

Look, do they have a natural built-in advantage from getting the Knicks 4 times a year? Undeniably. But they've had a winning record vs. the West the last two seasons. It just seems to be a regular vs. post-season thing. And it's not just them, the team DRtg has cratered each of the last four post-seasons.

Just talking about the way this series has gone. I watched these Bucks all year and they were actually pretty soft in the middle. But in this series Kidd had them fouling on every possession from the jump, and suddenly all those arms are a huge advantage instead of a magnet for slap fouls & reach-ins. If they do move on I'm curious about how much of that they get away with vs. Lebron.
By Kuma Go To PostLowry shook
I can't even argue anymore. Fuck that shit.
By Nobility Go To PostJust stick with Powell/Wright and leave Lowry on the bench.
Just set triple screens for contested DeRozan midranges for the rest of the game.
By DY_nasty Go To Postbucks missing everything and being a young dumb team and its tied
…i mean
I'll take it.
By Nobility Go To PostDeRozan just getting Kobe visions and sees 9 opponents on the court right now.
He's leading the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals.
Save us, DeKobe.
By DY_nasty Go To Postat least the bucks ain't rolling over like SOME teams would've by now
You mean the Hornets?
By livefromkyoto Go To PostYou mean the Hornets?i don't know how we'd react to being ambushed tbh
Monroe battling down there.. needs to make those damn fts
Bucks should put Teletovic in and let him bomb some threes

Giannis has 1 point in the 2nd half. That's been the difference here.
Teletovic hasn't looked so good in this series. His mojo is gone.
