Do or Die in Milwaukee

Credit the Raptor fans in Canada for coming out a lot stronger than they did in the first two games. They sounded loud and proud for this game. Many people around the Raptors organization talked about how Bucks fans were loud at home, and Toronto’s fans responded. With the Bucks back in Milwaukee on Thursday, fans will have to rock the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

It feels far too early, but the season could end on Thursday. Winning in Six to fulfill Brandon Jennings‘ prophecy is ruled out, but stretching the series to a seventh game is still in play.

Many fans wrote this team off during their terrible months in January and February. It seemed highly unlikely they’d even smell the playoffs. Yet here we are, watching them put a real scare into the third seed.

No matter how the Bucks go out this season, Thursday night is all that matters right now. The Bucks will be focused on it, and Bucks fans need to show up strong again for their team.
