showtime Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Anything can happen in a single game elimination. Danny Green and Ibaka have to play better. Ben Simmons finally decided to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossburg Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Oh crap, I just remembered that in 2001 we beat the Raptors in 7 and then the Bucks in 7 to reach the Finals. I'd like to order a rerun of that episode please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we ended up getting Iverson's epic game 1 performance, but the Bucks had the best shot at competing against the Lakers that postseason.

It’s almost a reverse now all I need is for James Butler to attend his college graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Lakers scheduling their parade for a 4-0 sweep and Philly winning game 1 was pretty great though. They were 15-1 playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks were a way more balanced team, but I think on paper Philly was a decent matchup vs the Lakers. They basically had the best perimeter defender and the best low post defender. Perimeter defender did ok, post defender got mollywhopped. Bucks wouldn't go on the droughts that Philly did, but I think Kobe would have a way better series and Shaq would still do whatever he wanted.

Sure, defensively the 76ers were superior no doubt, but the Bucks offensively would have been able to score with the Lakers. They had more offensive weapons compared to Philly who was completely reliant on AI and him creating for everyone else. The 76ers defense was great Shaq was going to do his thing regardless and the Lakers were going to get theirs. So best bet was for a team to go bucket for bucket against them.

EDIT: Allen, Robinson and Cassell. I don't know...it would have been interesting but you can say that almost every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone could go bucket for bucket with the Lakers though. That team was crazy, Fisher and co were shooting really well, and their D was really good too. IMO the best chance was to limit Shaq as much as possible, and on paper the Sixers had the best possible player on the planet who if you had to put money on SOMEONE being able to do that, it would be that guy.

But no one was limiting Shaq. That's why let him get his and get into a shootout… which in the early 00s was the equivalent of 102-100 LOL. Bucks were so good offensively that season and of course they faced the 76ers who were the best team to slow them down. AI was so good in that game 7.
