That's my problem. I can't.
This is all such uncharted territory. When Milwaukee blasted out of the gates with a 16-4 lead I was miffed, but I didn't have that knot in the stomach like during previous playoff runs. One of the talking heads claims that Nick Nurse is a genius for putting Kawhi on Giannis beginning in game 3 (or did Kawhi demand that he be given the assignment?), and that that has made all the difference.
I think he's right. Kawhi is doing it on both ends of the floor. The man is blowing my mind with every game that he plays. The way he broke down Milwaukee's defense to get the shots he wanted in the second half was masterful. I feel honoured to be witnessing this right now.
Are the Raps the best defensive team in the league? Giannis hasn't had an explosive scoring game in the series yet, and aside from 30 points in game 4, Kris Middleton has been a pretty much a non-factor against Toronto. Oh, and Bledsoe hasn't done anything worthwhile either.
