Winning Game 5 gives us super great odds to win this series.
Do you think we'll win this all important game?

I think we will. Game 4 was a huge test of heart and will, and we passed with flying colors. I don't expect anything to be easy in this series though.

agree with jmost, it's not going to be easy. Milwaukee is no joke. but i definitely think boston has a good shot at winning. and this game will be huge for them. now there's only a day of rest between games, and there's a ton of travelling. Not a lot of time for giannis to charge his batteries. it'll be interesting to see how he looks in the fourth quarter.

Not a lot of time for giannis to charge his batteries. it'll be interesting to see how he looks in the fourth quarter. Not a lot of recovery time for Horford either. Here's my assessment. If our starters can combine for 100 pts (exceptional games from 2 of our starters, and 3 solid games from the others), we not only win this series in 6, but it will cement my opinion that we will be NBA champs. Reason: MIL will absolutely come out balling. Knowing this and the importance of winning Game 5, if our starters can rise to the occasion and win this game, it will prove to me that our guys have what it takes to go for the jugular.

If I was the coach, I'd be emphasizing two things,
1. Look at Giannis, he tried to disrespect Big Al. YOUR TEAMMATE AND LOCKER ROOM LEADER 2. Look at Al, take it personally like he did and let it light a fire in you.
That sort of fuel motivated by the perceived disrespect should carry over to Game 5 and possibly Game 6 too

Folks talking about the Bucks coming through and being resilient last night -- the fact is we gifted the game to them. Our foolishness allowed them to win.

I can't completely agree with that. MIL shot 6-6 on 3s in the 4th. That's clutch. And Holiday made a game-saving block on Smart. Also clutch.
I rewatched the fourth quarter and I didn't see that much that we did wrong. Watching it live I was wondering why we suddenly started playing more ISO ball, but on second look we got decent shots. Now I just think MIL played a great quarter and got lucky when Brown and Smart deflected the Giannis FT miss right into Portis's hands for any easy game winner.
It's hard for me to read anything out of these last four games though other than that we have a good chance of forcing a game 7. I wouldn't say I'm confident that we'll win Game 6, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised. Both teams have shown they can win on the other's court. It's our turn now.

JB said they didn't play with purpose offensively at the end. Sure MIL was hitting shots, but we could have absorbed their run if we would have scored on our end.
Maybe we don't win by 14 or 6. But if we won by 1, this series is 3-2 in our favor.
