Luka and the Lakers get physical | Are the Bucks finished?

I would say in game one, but especially tonight, you know, there was a dust up on the court. The players were hyping up the crowd who were really in support of the beef. I actually turned to someone sitting by me and I was like, hey, this crowd wants the smoke. Like they were chanting, you know, Bobby sucks. Even if Bobby Portis wasn't touching the ball. It's a nice change.

Luka and the Lakers get physical | Are the Bucks finished?

After practice on Monday, I wrote how this team isn't a team that relies on one player to sort of be the star to carry the team. Right. Obviously, Halliburton is the guy, but they have a balanced scoring attack. They support each other. There is a real effort from everyone on the team to go out there and, you know, shut things down. Nimhard.

I can't even, I mean, he had a slump going into the end of the regular season. In the postseason, he got activated, right? He's playing well on both sides of the court. He's putting the clamps on Damian Lillard, who people expected to come out tonight and light it up. There was a real expectation, you know, because with Lillard on the court, he kind of opens up Milwaukee's offense.

He changes their ability to have spacing on the court. And none of that happened. In fact, I don't know if you guys even noticed, he only had 11 points well into the second half of the game. His three-pointer very late in the game came when Milwaukee was trying to fight their way back. But by then, the Pacers were like, it's too late.

They're going to have to slow Indiana down. Indiana's plan of attack from the beginning has been we are young and we are fast and we're just going to fly around the court. And that's exactly what they've been doing. They've been getting up and down the court really fast. And it makes sense. Milwaukee look tired, which is absolutely Rick Carlisle and his team's game plan. Tire them out.

Tyrese Halliburton talked about the wear down effect. They are fully aware that that is the way to get the bucks to show weakness. Like they know there's no really stopping someone like Giannis. But what you do is if you slow everyone else down, or I should say, keep them you know, sped up and keep them from scoring well, that's, that's going to be the plan.

So I guess Milwaukee has to figure out how do we slow this team down, but also how do we keep you? Cause you got six guys you have to keep out of double figures, right? Indiana has consistently had six guys in double figures this series. So I don't really know how you get six people, you know, to all be, to all have a bad night at once, but that's gotta be the goal.
