Great win for us!!!...I told my friends here that I thought we got a great draw in having to play Indy w/o their star & Mil which IMHO is really a one man team. I like our star w/his supporting cast better than I like theirs. Obviously if we can win both gms in Mil we'll have a stranglehold on the series. You can bet for sure the Bucks know this and are going to be loaded for bear. I can tell you right now the game plan for them is to get Giannis to the rack early & often. So play him for the drive & make him shoot it! He might hit some early on but it's the highlight dunks w/possible 3pt plays that we want to limit. If I'm running practice I'm telling my guys to look to take charges when playing him because he's going to be ultra-aggressive & you can get charge calls against him. If we can throw him off his gm we've won a huge chunk of the battle because either the rest of the guys collectively have to rise to the occasion or one of them has a career gm in order for them to beat us. Making Giannis a jump shooter means we have to board, play D, not jack up crazy 3s consistently, & most importantly don't turn the ball over. Hey btw, Hayward's looking better & better as time goes on. I love it when Kyrie doesn't have to carry & sustain us through every gm so that he might get a rest and he can come in to be the closer we needed and didn't have last yr.

Oh, if we get both games on the road how sweet would that be. I just hope we play as determined and focused as game 1. That team is scary good. Hopefully, we'll see them again.

I bet Milwaukee has Middleton being more aggressive with his shots.

As for us, we're asking a lot from Horford. He did a tremendous job on Giannis, and I would hope that he can keep this up all series. But Al is not a spring chicken, so there's some possibility he gets worn out to a degree.

He also did a tremendous job scoring buckets, especially the pick and pop plays. We need that jumper to keep falling, but I think MIL will try to take it away. If they start closing out on him in order to make him dribble penetrate, that'll wear on Horford as well.

Tatum has got to come alive.

Hayward needs to keep doing what he's doing, and I'm confident he can and will.

Game [HASH]1, BOS was physical with Giannis. Horford, Morris, Baynes, they all were using veteran techniques to throw off Giannis. It worked too.

Let’s hope we can replicate the same defensive outcome of game 1. And Semi wasn’t even called upon.
