The raptors took this game but in a very hard way eventhough it's their home court. It took them two OT to defeat the bucks that has no Giannis playing in the second OT though. Buck are still my bet to win the east finals.
They still is the favorite to win the ECF but seems to me that the Raptors has found a way to contain the Greek Freak which is very vital for them to win the series. Giannis may had help in other department but it's the offense that is needed of him by the Bucks. This series is back to exciting again for the oddsmaker.
Not back yet, Raptors have to even the series to make this fully exciting.

They were able to limit Giannis  scoring, but bucks would certainly make some adjustment next game, what if Giannis will score in game 4, can the Raptors still win this competition?, the answer is obviously not if Leonard will not find a help from his teammates.
When the losing team do able to see on what they do lack on their previous game then they will surely adjust it.Raptors do win 1 game but doesn't mean that they would able to do the same thing on game 4.Some lucky shooting percentage we have seen on Raptors side when it comes to 3's but I doubt that it would happen again on game 4.Even on double OT which is really exhausting and defeating bucks as hard as they can which do only gapped out on 5 points.
I tend to disagree that "lucky" shooting percentage was the cause why Raptors won that game. If we can watch videos on their shoot-around we can be amaze of how this guys able to hit consecutive shots. Come game time opponents have to depend/bother their shots to make them miss those, leaving them wide open, you go to the bench.

The Bucks really needs to analyze every detail of what happened now.

1. Gianis seems to be having a problem attacking the rim. He always stops whenever a defender just moves in front of him. That is not the Gianis that I know.
2. Bledsoe is shaking again. The last freethrows of him tells it.
3. Middleton plays are not working anymore. He cannot find his rhythm if he cannot shoot the ball from the outside. They need to give him space from screens.

Raptors seems to have done this all stopping the Bucks 3 main players. They need to find another way.

Again Kawhi showed he became the defensive player of the year. His steals and being aggressive in defense put a lot of impact to win the game.

But you can't take away anything from Toronto winning that game. They've solved the puzzle of Giannis, as @Reid has pointed out, it seems that the Greek Freak is somewhat gun shy or at least he did freeze or stop when there is a defender in front of him. While Siakam took it personally, to step up and so as Gasol.

Leonard also proved why he is one of the premier defender out there, he has crucial steals that had big impact in the game at the end.

Of course the Bucks are still the favorites, but there are a lot of intangibles and parameters that could push this series a bit longer as expected.

Whoever is paying to watch the Eastern Conference finals have their monies worth. Whoever wins this series will be pretty much banged up and will likely lose to the Warriors who are doing very well even without KD.

Yep, that's why it's important for GSW to close out the Trailblazers have a good rest while waiting for the East showdown. And they came out fresh and hungrier and win their 3rd straight championship. As for Kahwi, he is not over rated, he had the experienced with San Antonio and he knows how important this game is and he is not willing to let it go whether 2 or more OT's.

No doubt about KL but him grinding out every game with the Bucks after that 7-game series with Philly, I'm not sure if he's body can sustain it. He's already hurt in Game 3. Other starters and their bench really needs to step up.

It will definitely show sign of wear and tear on him. Just like you said, he is already hurt this game so it will be very hard for him unless sports science had advance so much that he can recover that quick in about 24-48 hours and come back fresh as if he gets a full week of rest and recuperation.
Game 4 will not be the same as game 3, Raptors will still struggle and will loss in this game.
They can double Leonard and put more body on him and there is no other option as his teammates are very inconsistent.
Lowry for example should be facilitating the ball and making good plays only settled for his outside shooting, and that does not work all the time.

The guy is only human, I don't think he can sustain day in, day out the brutally of having to grind hard every day against a tough team like the bucks. Even Michael Jordan or Kobe or Lebron gets tired so Kawhi Leonard is no exception. They are still trailing, anything can happen but I don't think he can sustain playing 40-50 minutes all series long.

Finally Raptors steal 1 game. Giannis has been fouled out and they take advantage on it, attacking inside the paint and their defense are good. They should tie the series in game4. If not, that's really a hard game as they will move into Bucks homecourt and the possible end for them. Good performance again by Kawhi and the rest of Raptors.

Raptors did a good job containing the Greek Freak into only 12 points. That is the worst performance yet by Giannis this whole playoff. Unfortunately, even after containing Giannis, the Raptors only win by 6 points in double overtime. That is a good takeaway by Milwaukee. I am afraid the Raptors cannot have full control of a game because of how good the players of Milwaukee are performing.

You're right, they need to win game 4, Raptors haven't shown a dominance and they even have a hard time winning, they are lucky to win one game, but if they can even the series, that would make this series an exciting one. In the playoffs, Bucks only loss maximum of 1 game in the last two series, so if they Raptors can tie, they are the better team of the last teams that the Bucks beat.

I don't think the last series even matters at this point. The raptors are a lot better team than the celtics in the playoffs but it seems that the bucks have peaked at the right time. It'll be good to win game 4 but it's likely that giannis will be back a lot stronger that game. Sorry but i'm going for a milwaukee vs gs in the finals.

You have so much trust on the Warriors, well, they are still the favorites whoever they will face, but we will not be seeing a 4-0 here like last NBA finals.
My prediction is if they will face the Bucks, it could go to game 6 or 7, and I will take the bucks to win that series.

The odds is very attractive and I just want a new champion this time around.

Good luck to which team we are rooting, what I just hope is the real entertainment which we just witnessed.

It's not about having so much trust. I'm just seeing things how it is. As I've said, "will likely lose to the Warriors"

I also think Bucks would win in six or seven games. It appears they have a better chance of beating the warriors.

Focusing with just one or two wont really be not enough specially on GS. All of players do have corresponding role and do really move out.If they boxed out Curry then Green would
just basically find out whose the one would able to shoot out.All eyes do focus out on Curry or KD but i do love on how Green executed good passes and defense.This is one of the
best factor why GS is much better.Teamwork with good execution of their own roles with good rotations.

It  really isn't I think only the previous cavs with Lebron and Irving has the full Guts to defeat this Powerhouse GSW. In this season the GS Warriors are averaging 117.1 points per game is completely crazy.

However I am quite convinced that with the current performance of Bucks they will surely be able to put some pain in the ass of warriors. as they are standing back with the warriors when it comes to points having 116.4 points per game.


Also, if the Bucks will win the series against the Raptors, it would be very interesting as the Bucks gain home court advantage.
This game of the Bucks and Raptors, Giannis did not score a lot but he made his contribution in the other department, his rebounding is pretty good.
He's adjusting just in case he'll be boxing out then he's contributions to other department will also helps the team to stay not being left behind but to keep close to their opponents, he needs to be like that in order to spread and give his teammates an opportunities to step up, Giannis if ever wins this ECF, will have a big role in trying to snatch the title from the hands of the defending champ.

The all star cast will be different again after KD's returned, for sure whoever wins the ECF will have a tough competitions against this generation's super team ever assemble, they've really so good shooting and passing the ball, whoever inside the court always play his role perfectly.
