nlesthought Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Why wouldn't Kawhi guard Giannis? I don't think the Barneys can afford to waste Kawhi's defense on a 3rd option. Middleton or Giannis. Siakam on Middleton could shrink Siakam's playing time, he's already mentally checked out plus Siakam isn't strong enough stay in front of Giannis running downhill. Bucks bench is superior I say Bucks in 5 healthy Brogdon, Connaughton, Hill & Ilyasova > Ibaka/ VanVleet/Powell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we may see the Raptors do is make Giannis shoot 3s. I know he has had success these playoffs doing it, but they may try it in game 1 anyway. Not as severe as they did to Embiid, but similar. Raps bench has been awful these playoffs. Hopefully FVV can get himself back on track against less length. Trading away Delon Wright and missing OG with his injury has really hurt the bench. Edited May 13, 2019 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowry vs MIL: 6.3 PTS, 5.0 REB, 8.3 AST on 23.3/5.0/66.7 shooting, 70 O RTG, 114 D RTG To be fair, everyone owns Lowry's soul in the postseason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he would drain too much energy because he has to do so much offensively? But this is what I want to see. He needs to take this challenge on and I think he will during certain moments.

And stay out of foul trouble. I would go Gasol and Ibaka. I even think Siakim is too frail too guard him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, he's one of the best players in the league. No one player is going to stop him for more than a game at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I think Lowry shows up because we all expect him to suck and there’s no Lebron James on the other side. I think Kawhi holds off Giannis and Marc is a better rim protector than what Boston has. But this is me being optimistic because I need the bucks to lose lol to keep my sanity.

Lowry doesn't suck in the postseason because of LeBron James. Look at what happened to him against the Sixers. Eric Bledsoe has a pretty good track record against Lowry and is a good defender. Nobody is asking for anything insane from Lowry. The guy is an all-star caliber player. All people want is for him to literally play up to the way he usually plays in the regular season. Nothing more. That's actually asking the bare minimum because normally we expect guys like him to elevate his game in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Pascal vs the Bucks this year is nearly 25 PPG on 64% shooting Serge is about 18 PPG FVV is nearly 17 PPG on like 67% shooting Kawhi is Kawhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
