As the old saying goes, a series never truly starts until a team loses for the first time at home. The Bucks were up 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Raptors, but they won both games at home and the basketball world was interested in seeing if Toronto would fold or fight on home court.
Fight was what the Raptors did as they evened the series and made it a best-of-three heading into Thursday night's game in Milwaukee. Surprisingly, though, a lot of the talk in the lead up to a pivotal Game 5 has been about Drake.
Drake's antics were on full display in the two games in Toronto, but the Bucks' weren't thrilled about what he was doing on the sidelines and that's why it's become such a big talking point.
Speaking of talking point and talking about Drake, Jalen Rose had some bold words for the Bucks on ESPN's 'Get Up!' that most fans would probably agree with.
Again, it's hard (almost impossible) not to agree with Rose's take. The Bucks and any team for that matter shouldn't let what someone on the sidelines is doing during game impact what they're doing on the court.
Drake is a perfect example of why it's difficult to win on the road and to this point, based on that old adage we mentioned earlier, this series hasn't started yet because both teams have held home court. Toronto can change that, though, and put all the pressure on the Bucks with a win.
(H/T: Get Up!)
