This horrible and still can't put them away..Just bad basketball by Middleton, Bledsoe and Giannis tonight. I will give Giannis credit on the rebounds but offensively these 3 have been horrible
Bledsoe has been awful the entire post season. He needs to get back to his strengths on O - taking the ball to the hoop and shooting inside the arc. He shouldn’t be taking 3 pointers. He’s strong enough to pull this off. Hopefully patience pays off.Just bad basketball by Middleton, Bledsoe and Giannis tonight.

But last night, Giannis, Middleton, and Bledsoe were ALL off. That’s not gonna happen again. Bucks in 5.

I have to say that I don't recall the 2013 draft, nor do I recall having ever heard of Giannis before the Bucks drafted him.
What I do want to say is that this story reads like...maybe revisionist history...like the writer is making it up as he goes along.
I admit I'm not big on SBNation so I ask...what do you guys think?
First, I will admit to being a huge Bucks fan, but haven't been someone who really follows the NBA that closely, unless the Bucks are playing decent, which doesn't happen all that often. That said, the article is pretty accurate from the little that I do know. For whatever reason, the NBA draft is a big crap shoot when it comes to talent. Like the author said, once in awhile you have an obvious Star, but even then, some of those have washed out quick. Teams go in looking for immediate starters or invest in a virtually unknown developmental young kid, hoping he will be the next Michael Jordan.
Not that the NFL is a lot different in that top college players often wash out, but the NBA is also looking at players playing throughout the world at all sorts of ages, playing in different leagues and having to decide how that talent will equate in the NBA.
Just watching the 2013 draft of the Giannis pick kind of gives you the indication of how uncertain of a pick he was even at #15. Turns out the Bucks struck gold on an 18 year old developmental pick out of Greece. However, he very well could have ended up being a fart in the wind if you look at the history of the NBA draft.
The Raptors Kawhi Leonard also turned out to be a pretty damn good #15 pick in 2011.

There's no way the Raptors should win another game, the Bucks severely tanked game 3. 20 turnovers, 37.3% FG (2-pt) and 31.8% (3-pt) should NEVER happen with an inkling of discipline. Giannis needs to be on a wing, setting picks and rolling... not playing point guard & tossing-up 3's. Love to see Connaughton get a few more minutes as he's a spark-plug for the offense.
Bucks take game 4, tonight, by at least 20 points and wrap it up at home Thursday night.
I think Barkley was ripping Drake for not traveling to away games, so we shouldn't be seeing him in Milwaukee. Also, the Drake-curse is alive & well, so Raptors are toast.Drake the Rapper/Super Raptor Fan:This guys is about as obnoxious as they come. Sitting court side and talking smack to Bucks players. Which as a paid seat holder, he has the right, but I don't remember paid seat holders being allowed to come onto the court, which Drake does. If he shows up in Milwaukee, he better bring body guards and I hope they sit him next to David Bakhtiari.
Rodgers should do the same.. Give bud a massage.Bucks have to get back to playing the solid defense that made them the team with the most wins in the NBA this season. Way too many open looks for the Raptors last night. With Leonard hobbled a bit, that really shouldn't be that difficult.
Side not about 2 things:
- I actually think the Toronto fans intimidated the refs in game 3 and maybe I am biased, but they sure seemed to have swallowed their whistles when it comes to ticky tack fouls called on the Raptors, but not when it comes to the Bucks. This might have had some influence on the Bucks defense playing off a bit.
- Drake the Rapper/Super Raptor Fan:This guys is about as obnoxious as they come. Sitting court side and talking smack to Bucks players. Which as a paid seat holder, he has the right, but I don't remember paid seat holders being allowed to roam courtside or come onto the court, which Drake does. If he shows up in Milwaukee, he better bring body guards and I hope they sit him next to David Bakhtiari.
She is signing game 5I hope she keeps her schedule clear, she could have at least 2 more home games to sing at! I say "at least", because if the Bucks win their next 6 straight, 4 of those games are on the road and if they win the next 6.......NBA CHAMPIONS!
As long as they win 2 out of the next 5 and 6 out of the next 12.....they still get there!
