Ball is life. And life is pain.

Sucks, fear that Giannis will miss most of next season too.
MRI today, nobody knows.

The Bucks have been masterful at making things more difficult than they need to be. Similar to the Brooklyn series......when Game 5 seemed gift-wrapped (no Kyrie) and they blew a 17-point 2nd-half lead. Eliminated the opportunity to win the series at home in Game 6. Playing stupid.
Same scenario last night, Trae Young ruled out before tip and the Bucks come out playing like it is Game 53 of the regular season (great Charles Barkley quote). It was almost as if they felt sorry for Atlanta. "Inside the NBA" was all over it........Bucks don't have the killer instinct when they have a team down. Very talented but they almost play better after being embarrassed in a previous game. The franchise hasn't made the NBA Finals in 47 years and you come out playing like it is just another game.
Bucks are out of excuses (no Giannis for the rest of the series would be convenient to let everyone off the hook). No silver lining if you lose this series.

Thankfully the Brewers had a good game going so I didn't have to watch the entire Bucks game.
Should have really pounded them last night, but hard to do that to any team that is shooting lights out. Still, this should have been close to a series sweep.
Giannis or no Giannis, the Bucks are still good enough to win tomorrow night.
Woj with an update.....no structural damage, ligaments are sound. Timetable to return unclear.

Needed that win! Great defensive pressure from the start and very good, smart offense. Lopez beating Atlanta up inside.
Holiday (25 pts and 13 assists) and Middleton (26 pts and 13 rebs) showed why they were the 2 most talented players on the floor. Portis fantastic again.
1 more win for an NBA Finals appearance. Popular opinion will be Atlanta wins at home in Game 6. Can the Bucks surprise and close out in 6? NBA Finals begin Thursday, July 8. Could Giannis eventually come back? Regardless, just find a way to get there.
Great win. Does Young play in game 6?
Hope we can take care of business on Sat, but think we may end up with a Game 7 back here in MKE.
