Pacers are banged up too aren't they? Not as much as Bucks but I do think this team can be good with health and an addition in the offseason.

Mathurin out, Hali playing injured

This board hates every announce crew, who do you guys like?

Literally this.

Nah. GA is way too stiff and Spero tries a little too hard. It’s a tough listen when they’re together.

Bucks could have hung in there if Portis could have kept his head. Lopez doesn't have a backup otherwise.

For some reason the Turner/Sabonis duo never worked very well together

Yeah, this isn't even close to the same thing.

This bucks team is so damn old. Aside from Jackson they all belong in assisted living center. Everyone is 33+

Both are better off being Centers. Turner at PF has no real advantage and then you're asking one of them to guard on the perimeter, which they can't.

He barely left the court. He's played 30 of the 36 minutes played so far.

If 3 point variance evens out then Bucks can win

Yeah, the Bucks are definitely more injured.

I get that guys are hurt, but this is the defense Griffin tried to stop and change. The Bucks giving up the line. Oh well.

Siakam didn't need to do the fake got-the-shot-up-too-late thing there. He had a chance to take a relatively decent shot. Up 13 but still.

I don't see how that's possible, most the Pacers 3s are passes coming from inside to shooters set on the perimeter. This is like a 60% shot for most teams in the NBA.

Bucks 3s are not being generated nearly as well. The flaw is the Bucks defense. Don't know how they got worse with Lillard out, that should be talked about more.

We are a bit banged up, yeah. Hali is not 100% and Mathurin being out sucks for us. Definitely not as banged up as the Bucks are, just like you said.

We are also a young with minimal playoffs experience (Siakam is experienced, Myles has some experience, everyone else has next to zero experience) so mistakes are to be expected.

7-0 run to start the 4th for Milwaukee.
