... Having Leonard on Giannis since game 3 as the primary defender is very troublesome for the Bucks.
Leonard doesn't look healthy right now, but I agree that this match up (with strong help support from Gasol and others) has been a difficult look for the Bucks so far. It puts a lot of pressure on the role players to hit shots. Maybe going back home will see a better result from their supporting cast.
Nice to see the Raptors back to their normal selves for a game. During the playoffs they've often shot poorly and been far too deferential to Kawhi. Don't get me wrong - Kawhi has done a fantastic job of carrying the team so far, but he shouldn't have to carry the team.
It's been a weird year. Some of the Raptors best ball has come with Kawhi sitting on the bench, as other guys seem to feel more comfortable or empowered on offense. When he's healthy it's like the whole team defers too much and loses their normal identity.
At least it's an interesting series now. Either team could have been up 3-1 if they had played just a tiny bit better, and I'm sure that both feel like they let an opportunity slip away. I'm doubtful that either team can challenge Golden State in the finals, so this is probably the last meaningful set of games for the year.
