Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Milwaukee Bucks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Heading back home for Game 3, the Bucks are in a rough spot. While dropping the first two games of a series on the road isn’t a death knell (it’s happened at least once per year going back to 2017), the odds are against you. Game 1 went very poorly, despite a late run to make it more respectable. They showed much more fight after three bleh quarters in Game 2, still ultimately coming up short due to bad defense, among other problems. So do you think Milwaukee has what it takes to win four of the next five, with potentially three more games at home?
We also want to know what you think about Brook Lopez after Tuesday night. While he had a big sequence in the late second quarter, part of a unit that helped get the Bucks back to within six, it’s clear that this series isn’t a good matchup for him. On the one hand, you like his four blocks in 16 minutes and eight points of 2/4 from deep. On the other, Indiana is shooting lights-out from deep when he’s on the floor (16/25 this series, which feels a bit fluky) since they can create so much space as Lopez sinks into the lane while perimeter defenders routinely are taken out of the play. 16 minutes seems ok, but should it come off the bench? Should it be even lower?
