30 point game from Lowry, Bucks shot 25% from 3 with Toronto winning that battle by 12 points.

8 point L :lol

They’ve been playing in the 90s, very low 100s since the Orlando series. I just don’t see a path to 4 Ws.

Stotts: Did they — I can’t remember, when he had 33 (points) in the second half, were they trapping then?

Reporter: Yes

Stotts: They were? And he scored 33 in the second half

Reporter: Yes

Stotts: OK, yeah, we’ll look at that.
So he’s gonna keep dropping Kanter I guess :lol

Not sure what’s worse, him not studying the film from last game or him sticking with that scheme
 
Maybe Stotts is a genius and he used game 1 as an excuse to not play Kanter for the rest of the series.
 
i think one error that these other computer models don't account for well is injuries though. models never seem to fully adjust to "X player's" value if they're injured

I agree with everything said except this. I think Vegas does a great job of trapping people by not making huge line adjustments when there’s an injury because there’s generally not a huge drop off game 1 after a significant injury..

Ala warriors game 6 last series
 
Couple things about last nite's game. You didn't see a lot of *****ing at the refs, you didn't see a lot of flopping, you didn't see guys pulling up from 3 with the sole purpose of falling on their *** (and there were a ton of 3s), you didn't see guys dribbling in place for 3 minutes, you didn't even see a lot of pushing off to create space. Just two teams playing straight up basketball and letting the chips fall. Was great to see

Because Lowry was having an 'out of fat body experience'. It'll be back once he's back to normal

Harden's not in the playoffs. It's been said that Kawhi and Giannis push off and lowry flops. I've been told lots of players push off and therefore it's ok. Last series the Celtics did a lot of *****ing and flopping. Steph has been accused of trying to draw fouls on 3s. It was refreshing to see two teams put all the ******** to the side and just hoop. Game went by at a breakneck pace. Hopefully it continues and we get a great series
