 This series is tied 3-3, which means we have a game seven coming up on Saturday alongside Sarah Kousteck, our main man Frank Isola, I'm Michael Grady. Welcome in to the Fandall Sportsbook Nets post game Kouste. We'll start right away with you, your initial thoughts on this game six. Well it was a struggle for the Nets in many cases from the start to the finish of so many of these quarters. They started a game slow in the first quarter and the second quarter as well closed out the half in a manner that allowed the Bucks to get out on a run and same thing happened from the start of the third quarter and then bridging the gap between the third and fourth it was a 9-0 run for Milwaukee and despite the fact that the Nets cut it to five on two separate occasions just couldn't get over that hump and a big part of it was two F words, fast break points and free throws that's where Milwaukee really held the edge and held on to this one. Alright Frankie, I shoot thoughts on this one. Well why do our victory for the Milwaukee Bucks? They took care of business at home. I thought Chris Middleton was outstanding 19 points in both the first half and the second half and Sarah talked about those runs. Remember the Nets did close to 8277 under nine minutes to go and that's when Chris Middleton drew yet another foul while he was shooting a three. The Nets actually thought about challenging the call. They decided not to. I thought they made a mistake because if the foul was called on the floor then you know Milwaukee just has to run their offense instead Middleton went to the line knocked down all three free throws and that started the decisive 14-0 run which ended with that dunk that you showed from Yonah Santana. So I thought that was kind of a crucial stretch right there cut it to five then starting with that Chris Middleton the three free throws that was your ball game right there in the fourth quarter. Yeah I'm curious whether or not Steve Nash was asked about that in the post game because it seemed like Hardin was advocating for the challenge and then at some point Nash was talked out of it. We talked about the runs several runs in this game cut it to five multiple times and then Milwaukee would go on a spurt themselves when you're coming off of a game where Kevin Durant played 48 minutes James Hardin played 46 minutes you know exerting a lot of energy to get back into the game and then having enough to get over the hump it seemed like Milwaukee had a little bit more in the tank and just executed better every time Brooklyn made it close in particular Milwaukee did a really nice job with their movement they're cutting actions and you know overall for Milwaukee and getting their offense to go we focus so much on Yanis but Chris Middleton my goodness was he special in so many areas and ways and hitting some big time shots when needed and it really was even though Drew Holiday had a rough night for the Bucks in particular one attend from the three point line there was moments when he understood how to get downhill and how to attack and that's where Milwaukee was able to pick apart this Ned's defense in getting to the basket working the paint so much of it too was that early offense in those transition points that allowed them to get going and that's where it seemed like Brooklyn was just a step behind whether it was some turnovers early on that allowed for the the Bucks to find their way and fluidity in the run or even just in instances on the defensive end just not being quite as sharp quite a step ahead and that translated to the offensive side of things it felt like for Brooklyn because even though it was another big night for Kevin Durant he didn't get a lot of help otherwise yeah you're absolutely right you look at Jeff Green two for nine Joe Harris four for nine going into a game seven they're gonna need more I thought the one positive to come out of it for the Brooklyn Nets James Harden moved a little bit better now there are a couple of times where he had steals and instead of just sprinting up court to try to get a fast break layup everyone else passed him and he kind of set up the offense so you can tell the hamstring is bothering him but he did knock down a couple of more shots so I thought that was a positive but speaking of Chris Middleton let's think about this guys there were four times tonight he had two four point plays and two other times he was fouled while shooting a three so that's four possessions 14 points for Chris Middleton I really thought he was the difference holiday was very good and let's not forget about Yanis 30 points 17 rebounds knocked down some free throws he was a bit of a menace in the paint I know the Nets were complaining they felt a couple of times he should have been called for a charge I thought Yanis Middleton and drew holiday when they needed it guys in elimination game those guys came through yeah Middleton was huge with what he was able to produce tonight Yanis you almost expect those numbers 30 point 17 rebounds for a De Decumbo Kevin Durant coming off that 49 point performance in game 5 has 32 points shooting 50% from the floor 11 boards in this one
