Bucks in 6. Better coach, deeper roster. Brogdon is also coming back soon.
Not predicting anything. Siakam to me is the key again. I think Giannis will match up with him. Giannis should take him out of the game.

The Raps are used to benching their franchise star by the time the the conference finals roll around lol, although I agree and this series could get really ugly if everyone outside Kawhi continues to play so shook. If that happens all the momentum the franchise gained in changing Dennis's mind that last series will be washed right out of the country.
I say Bucks in 5. Though Ive already been wrong on 2 series so far (Spurs v Denver and Phiily vs Raps) so my take ain’t worth much lol but there it is anyways.
Bucks in 5. They actually have someone who can somewhat contain the Nephew.
Brogdon actually played in game 5 against the Celtics
Didn't look bad either
Kawhi beats Bucks in 6 games.
Dubs beat the Guests.
Kawhi vs. Dubs in Finals.
Spurfan goes on suicide watch.
Raptors actually match up decently with the bucks and probably are one of two, three teams with the personnel to defend them.
Raptors steal game 1, win in 6. Kawhi averages 35 ppg, goes down in Canadian history.
At the Bucks in 5 predictions. So much for the Raptors being "terrifying", s bag being "Jordan with a 3" and Antetokounmpo being the most "overrated superstar".
The only thing that would surprise me, is if this series didn't go at least 6. The talent/matchups are similar and the Raptors have too much riding on this season (not only the possibility of s bag leaving, but Lowry, Gasol, Green and Ibaka, will all no longer be good enough to fulfill the roles they currently do soon enough) to go down in 4 or 5.
Unfortunately, I think that very desperation (those aforementioned names have been on good teams for a long time, but never gotten over the hump; the urgency they'll feel will be extremely difficult for the Bucks to match) gets the Raptors over the hump.
sweep by the bucks and kawhi goes down with a hyper extended knee injury.
Bucks in 6 but they may lose game 1 again from having too much rest.. But too much shooting and no answers for Giannis. Leonard looks to have very little help..
I could see Bucks in 6 instead, actually..game 1 is huge for Toronto..
This feels like one of those matchups where the team that struggled in the 2nd round is going to get undervalued, despite matchups being everything in the NBA..
Raptors role players will look much better in this series..
Bucks should still win the series comfortably, though..too many shooters, better system, more sustainable offense..
Interesting:
Kawhi is the best wing help defender ive ever seen. This shouldnt come of as a surprise. More importantly, the raps have their best defensive personel when hes on the floor.
It would be interesting to see which would be the strongest lineup for Toronto in this matchup.
Gasol-Ibaka-Siakam-Kawhi-Lowry?
Gasol-Siakam-Kawhi-Green-Lowry?
Gasol-Siakam-Kawhi-Vanfleet-Lowry?
I know Powell and Vanfleet will have an easier series. No more guys 8 inches taller than them in the perimter.
Vanfleet is atrocious defensively against taller guards, but he can be tough to beat offball.
I've had Bucks over Raptors in 7 in my bracket since the playoffs started, but I'm not ruling out a Raptors upset. When you have the best player in the world, you always have a chance.
Anyone else not sure who they're rooting for and might decide mid game?I like both teams. Good problem to have though just hope this series is compe ive.
Kawhi in 6 tbh
If they win tonight the ultimate meltdown is going to start gaining momentum on this forum
I'm picking Kawhi over Giannis. Giannis is too reliant on driving to the rim. Kawhi's game is more multi-faceted. I think Raps will figure out a way to neutralize Gianni's and take away his biggest strength.
bucks in 7. lowry gonna come up small when it counts.
This has 7 games written all over it. With the Bucks winning out.
Man Shaq can't read a room. He couldn't just let Ernie have his moment with the crowd
Oh well at least we have Kristen Ledlow
Excited for game time! Give us a better Game 1 than the Blazers vs Warriors lol.
Lord please because we know Warriors Blazers isn't getting much better
