NBA Playoffs 2017: Raptors vs. Bucks Game 6 live stream: Watch online
The Milwaukee Bucks (2-3) host the Toronto Raptors (3-2) for Game 6 of their No. 3 vs. No. 6 matchup on Thursday night. Here is how to watch the game online.
After looking lost in the dense woods of Wisconsin, the Toronto Raptors rattled off two wins in a row and now hold control of their opening-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks. The shift in power started with Dwane Casey’s decision to go small and put Norman Powell in the starting lineup. This gave Toronto more speed, athleticism, shooting, and additional play-making – all the things Milwaukee previously had advantages in.
The ball now lies in Jason Kidd’s court to make some alterations to his rotation. In a do-or-die scenario, we’ll see if he breaks out all the stops. He could try going with an ultra-modern, ultra-progressive lineup by putting Giannis Antetokounmpo at center. Thon Maker and Greg Monroe both showed stretches of effectiveness, but have also been exposed for their shortcomings. Maker for his inexperience, Monroe for his lack of quickness.
It’s definitely time to counter and change the dynamic of the matchup. If not with the starting lineup itself, then with the minutes breakdown and player combinations.
It remains to be seen if the Bucks will stick with their starting five of Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell, Khris Middleton, Antetokounmpo, and Maker. However, a quick hook could be in store
The Raptors will continue with what’s been working. Kyle Lowry, Norman Powell, DeMar Derozan, DeMarre Carroll, and Serge Ibaka will be sent out for the opening tip.
