Game 7 is on!  The Conference semi-finals have been exciting as every series has gone to 7 games.  In this series, both GMs have seen some big victories, but none bigger than in game 6.

The Bucks shot 57% for the game, 42% from downtown, and had 40 assists to 25 for New York.  They also outrebounded the Knicks by 10 boards. This was total domination, including the benches, 60-20.  As stated earlier, benches were to be key to the series, and this game showed it, a 40-point swing in the bench will win almost any game. 

As to the Knicks, the Lance experiment is over, Luc Mbah a Moute is back in the starting lineup, hoping to change the fates.  This remains to be seen if the ever-changing small forward position will be the key.  This may also be in hopes of boosting the bench, hoping Lance will help them score more than 20 points. 

It would appear that the Bucks are going with the same lineup, as it served them well last game.  The only enigma from the game was that Giannis shot 1/10 and only had 2 points.  He did manage 11 boards and 7 dimes from the power forward position, which is pretty darn impressive, along with 3 steals and 2 blocks.  Basically, he played an awesome game other than shooting.  He still needs to figure his 2k body out I think. 

This game will be played on the Bucks home court, but it hasn’t been an advantage so far.  The home team has only won two game of the series thus far, so I don’t know how great these home fans are for both teams.  It’s hard to take the Knicks in this game after the smack-down that the Bucks just gave them, so I’m changing my thoughts here.  I’m betting a Bucks win based on the improved bench performance.  As always, good luck to both teams and GMs, both great teams that deserve to win!
