I know that Boston will counter, but that front court of Bobby, Lopez and Giannis is just ridiculously long. You can beat one guy off the dribble and then you are running right into giants, including Giannis, who might be the best defender in the league. This is after MKE was hounding the ballhandlers up the court. Boston absolutely has to hit jump shots to win this series.

Boston has a really good D, like you say, but it almost feels like Giannis is the defense breaker in that scenario. Even when he has a bad game (and Horford and others did really well on him), he still impacts the game with passing, boards and his mid range game is a serious jump from last year.

Giannis is such a force, that I just think his relentlessness that teams have to deal with on both ends just truly wears them down. It's almost like Giannis is the bad guy in a horror movie when the people are running away, but everyone knows that Freddy (or Jason, or whomever) will get them, no matter what, and every time some Boston player would think they have a free avenue, they'd be worried that Giannis was going to come out of nowhere and get them.
