While a win is obviously a good thing, this was a pretty pitiful display.  If they need the Bucks to be THIS off to even have a chance, then even reaching 6 is going to be hard.  When a team as good as the bucks has THAT bad of a night, you should win handily.  Not crawl to a narrow win in double overtime.

Also, let's not call the Finals just yet.



That said, I still firmly believe the Bucks are winning this series... But if they're going to beat the Warriors, they CANNOT play like this.



Giannis 23 rebounds is what kept the Bucks in the game but him only making 2 out of 7 free throws is also what helped them loose the game



2 hours away from Game 4 of the WCF.
Golden State looking to finish the job in Portland tonight. I have the brooms on standby, but let's see of the Trail Blazers have it in them to muster at least one game.

Andre Iguodala is still listed as "questionable" for tonight

Both teams are shooting over 60% to start the game.
Red Auerbach is rolling in his grave right now

Hardly shocking.  Game isn't do or die at all.  Obviously a sweep would be nice, but if they don't get it it isn't the end of the world because 1) the Bucks just lost game 3 and 2) the Blazers - like the Raptors - basically need everything to go their way to have a shot right now.

...What?



Red Auerbach was the head coach of the Boston Celtics from 1950 to 1966. During that stretch, they 9 championships between 1957 and 1969, including 8 straight with players like Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Sam Jones, and John Havilicek. They were greatest dynasty in NBA history. The biggest reason why they were able to do that: Defense - something that was severely lacking in that 1st quarter.
