"The playoffs don't truly start until the away team wins" PFT Commenter. The Bucks are back on their home court for game 3 in the NBA finals and it is a can't lose for the Bucks.
Giannis is going to do his thing tonight but it is about the other guys stepping up tonight. Kris Middleton shots the ball better at home rather than away and the way he is shooting it can only go up from here. Kris has proven during this playoff run that he can put up points in a hurry, outscoring teams in a single quarter. The other player who needs to step up on the offensive side is Jrue Holliday. When I was watching game 2 on Thursday night I kept saying to myself how many layups is he going to miss. He was missing everything and Jrue kept trying to shoot his way out of a slump but nothing happened. The only thing Jrue did well that game was he play defense. He has always played good defense his whole NBA career though so it was not that impressive.
Another reason the Bucks are going to win tonight is that NBA fans love to troll Giannis when he is on the free-throw line counting to 10 every time he is up there. Today though he does not have to worry about fans yelling at him on the free-throw line as the Bucks are at home. Free throws are the difference between a win and a loss and Giannis has said multiple times that he hears the fans yelling at him. Now he might be able to knock a couple more down and that can be the reason they win.
I still believe the Bucks are going to win the finals and to do that it starts tonight.
Bucks in 6 let's go!
