The Bucks are fine. They'll always have those 25 point December beatdowns of Atlanta to remember.

A truly historic team.

Miami’s mentally tougher and better coached. Jae’s a solid player, hope he gets a nice contract in the offseason.

What a series, really backs up a bunch of things people thought about the Bucks:
1. Bud can't coach in the playoffs, he never adjusts and his system is built to maximize regular season
2. Giannis is not as valuable on defense as he's made out to be, against top teams being able to guard the opponents best players is worth far more than freelance helping (also you get punished for roaming with the better shooters).
3. Bledsoe over Brogdon was a mistake that made their offense predictable and easy to stop in the playoffs
4. Giannis needs to improve his shooting, the wall works much better in the playoffs
5. Giannis is leaving.

The league should repo the DPOY award. You get torched by 2020 Jae Crowder in a playoff series you gotta give that back.

Ugh--Celtics need to get back to their winning ways tomorrow. With Hayward out we're short-staffed and looks like there's going to be well-rested Heat team waiting in the ECF.

Does Bud get on the plane home errr let back in the hotel? The 25 yo MVP can only play 34 min??

Mia is tearing the Bucks apart. The 4th quarter was a demolishing.

they might both be well rested if the Celtics can win in 5 or 6 and either of the LA series go 7.

Westbrook just getting clowned by Lebron on his attempt to posterize. His game is just not aging well. Then Harden does a nice possum move to lull Lebron from blocking his dunk.

Was this the block where LeBron came back down court after throwing the ball up at the hoop without looking after dribbling out the shot clock backing his man down? Was a weird sequence.

Why would Bron go to the other side of the court instead of going near his bench?

I think they're good, but lets be honest, every non-AD acquisition has been about as good as could have been expected in the playoffs
And Caruso has outperformed by a lot. But this is all why the GM was panned last off-season

They didn't have a lot of money to fill out their roster after having both Bron and AD.

This playoffs has been so odd because of the lack of home or away.. it's been the great equalizer since there isn't that noise that both intimidates or cheers on either team

This series is fascinating. And I take the other side of anyone fading the Lakers, regardless of how tonight turns out.

He’s the coach and the gm—he doesn’t need to hear what Vogel is telling the other guys
Sometimes he just does weird stuff (this time at least he was on the other side of the court to start the next play so all he had to do was stand up and walk on the court)

LeBron plays about 4 games out of every tough playoff series nowadays (not intended as a slight).. but when he sees his team is going to lose he takes the game off it seems. I would expect him to have a huge game two if they lose.

Lebron was probably thinking “how’d I end up in a situation where the alleged third best player is Kyle Kuzma and his -22 plus-minus”
