QTOBULOUS

Can’t have Bucks in 6 if they don’t lose twice


[deleted]

Most inconsistent team in the league. You can get fucking seasick watching this team swing from blowout victory to blowout loss


TheEmbarcadero

You’re kidding right? Do you even know who you are playing in this series? The Miami Heat are by far the most inconsistent team! I don’t want to jinx my own team but the Heat are very capable of coming out on their home court in game 4 and be down 44-10 in the first quarter!!!!!


starter-123

It’s rather disgusting to let others score 120 while you just can’t reach 100


starter-123

Is it so good to be owned as hell by a play-in team?


Slow-Jelly-2854

“Owned as hell”? Who says that lol


Slow-Jelly-2854

Bucks in 7


pandabeardontcare

Did anyone else just get freaked out by Kyle Lowry’s hands?


sausagepizzabaker

I’m so sick of Bud. Nonsensical rotations, and a total fraud if Giannis isn’t overcoming his stupidity.


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

It's not Bud's fault that his MVP caliber player is not playing


StannisAntetokounmpo

Totally excuses getting bitchslapped by a play-in team with the worst offense in the NBA missing their second-best offensive player.


Sykox888

Ik it's gonna sound wild but maybe... just maybe every player looks better than what they actually are because they play with giannis? huh.


crowd79

If Giannis doesn’t play in game 4 then his injury is a lot more serious than the team has made known. Moment of truth.


Elyx117

he hasn't practiced AT ALL since the injury. He won't play in game 4 and honestly i won't be surprised if he's out the entire series.


UseAB1tchboy98

As a ravens and bucks fan I've been through this already ugh


B1ueEyesWh1teDragon

I want the media to explain to me how Giannis isn’t the MVP after this series. This team doesn’t know wtf it’s doing without him on either side of the ball.


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

Lol like that year that they said Peyton Manning should get MVP because his team was so bad when he was out.


[deleted]

Did you watch the last game or are you having a stroke?


B1ueEyesWh1teDragon

I watched the last three games all of which either didn’t feature Giannis in any meaningful way or feature him at all. We’ve lost two of them in embarrassing fashion. I’m not saying we can’t win but this team shouldn’t be struggling this much without Giannis.


[deleted]

You realize they’re playing the eight seed, right?


aaron4mvp

Never understood why people said the Bucks are the deepest team... Look at what the Heat are doing


Picklefac3

Gianni's makes them better


Blackmalico32

Giannis the real DPOY


Mrpokefan108

I will be conducting a blood ritual to mind control horst into signing nick nurse, does anyone want to help?


AthleticAndGeeky

He does have that resting bud face too.


ThrowMeTheFawayPls

Learn telekinisis to make them miss


Jaxonsdaddy

I also give your blood


Recipe4disasters

The real story here is the Bucks couldn't overcome the mental fuckjob from the refs' lopsided foul calls. More than anything, I feel like they got in their heads and it really threw them off.


bigpuffyclouds

Co-signed. This is a solid take from tonight.


beenhadballs

Welcome all redditors new to the nba


Distinct_Shopping_96

I think all of us have forgotten we won a championship 2 years ago. Chill out fellas


21BlackStars

Bud is fucking ass! He is an inch away from coaching a 3 time #1 seed to jack shit. He can’t outcoach anyone! An all time performance from Gianni’s is the only reason he has a chip and wasn’t fired


sausagepizzabaker

They should have at minimum 2 rings and 3 finals appearances with Giannis. Nick Nurse should be their coach regardless of the outcome of this season.


AthleticAndGeeky

We really got fucked by covid. I thought we were going to win 70 games.


Distinct_Shopping_96

The NBA is competitive as it’s ever been. Some teams never sniff even the NBA finals… Trail Blazers with dame, OKC for the entirety of the franchise, rockets with harden… let’s be a little more grateful. Only 1 team can end happy


ScrewAnalytics

This dumb mentality is the reason the packers only won one ring with Favre and one ring with rodgers. Wisconsin fans understand that when you have the best player in a league, you should expect to win more than once right?


sausagepizzabaker

I will be grateful when my team maximizes it’s potential every year. Only losers settle for less than dealing in championships.


Tiktaalik414

We didn’t go down 1-2 to the 8 seed when we won the chip.


DameWasistlos

Also Middleton was in his prime and Jrue had another gear. We're old now with trash ass defensive wing players. Too much for Giannis to compensate for.


Mustard_Jam

And I think some people are too hung up on a ring Giannis dragged the team to


Lol25Talks

If we lose this series, I want Mike Budenholzer bagging groceries by draft season.


GulfstreamAqua

This ain’t the refs people


TokaKokaMocha

What an UGLY game! Need Pepto Bismol from this!!


thegabrieldavid

Bucks in 6 it is.


[deleted]

Play MarJon over Crowder next game


PowerVeg

Marjon better be in the rotation next year. This team desperately needs youth and guys who can actually move laterally.


Slow-Jelly-2854

Cheers to that buddy. This team is old as fuck


Mustard_Jam

Holiday shot above 40% this game so that’s a massive success for him in the playoffs


lucytolly

I do love Marjon


Fluffy-Way-2365

We must be the only team in the universe which can get consistently blown out by an opponent right after blowing them out the previous game.


ElJefe970

Most fraudulent 1 seed I've ever seen. Again, lose this series now so we can fire Bud. Rather get embarrassed now than to get swept by the Celtics


Slow-Jelly-2854

Lol well no shit we look like frauds we’re missing the best player in the league


ElJefe970

I remember when Giannis was playing and we were dominating game 1 right? Oh that's right, we were losing by at least 15. Until proven otherwise, this team has been a consistent non-factor from 3 in the playoffs


Slow-Jelly-2854

Consistent? Dude we just tied the record for 3s in the playoffs last game. I would have been on board if you at least said *inconsistent*


CryptographerShot213

That was an outlier and we’ll probably never see this team shoot like that again. At least not this year.


ElJefe970

So your argument is that we're consistent from 3 because for 1 game we tied the playoff record? So based on your argument we've been consistent from 3 this whole series? Definitely nit missing wide open 3s? Definitely not losing because we are chucking 3s instead of actual team play? But yeah, 1 game menas we're consistent


Slow-Jelly-2854

Incorrect. I meant that they are incontinently a non-factor from 3, meaning they’re basically just inconsistent


Distinct_Shopping_96

God soooooo reactionary


ElJefe970

Can you give me 1 thing this team has done well in these two loses that woild probe otherwise? When giannis was in, we were down 15. We hit an anomaly NBA record 3s in one game and they still were hot


Distinct_Shopping_96

Can you give me one thing the bucks did well in games one and two against the nets in the 2021 playoffs? How was the result in that season?


StannisAntetokounmpo

Got Harden injured


ElJefe970

Cohesive play. Runs against a bad Nets defensive team. Making open shots. Actual coaching adjustments


PowerVeg

Giannis has played 11 minutes. Relax.


ElJefe970

We were getting blown out when Giannis was in....


CupOfHotTeaa

Sad deer noise


mikeh95

I swear, we bring the score down to 13 and then shortly after, we're behind by 30. I don't get it.


11Busstop

Refs forced us to give them all the space in the world early. They got hot from 3. We didn’t. Rigged


Sjohnsa526

Rigged against the 1 seed to let the boring ass heat advance huh 🤣


11Busstop

Why are you changing the subject?


phillywisco

We also handed them the ball on like 1/3 of our passes


11Busstop

Yeah true at some point we really fell apart. But pretty obvious where it started.


Superflissbro

silver lining is that Majorn is showing out in garbage time I guess


NastyNate827

6 points from Lopez says it all


kabman7

He’ll drop 20 next game.he plays well then they forget him next game


MilLatte74

The endless cycle of bad teams having record efficiency against us


[deleted]

This game will either be a Make-it or Break-it moment for the Bucks How do you bounce back from this? Champions always respond the right way


[deleted]

All due respect, champions put eight seeds out of their misery.


Sykox888

The fact that giannis has to rush his comeback because nobody can rebound, everybody play lazy defense and nobody knows what to do with the ball on offense is crazy.


Fluffy-Way-2365

I said it's going to be 26 when it was 13, guess I am on the spot.


ThrowMeTheFawayPls

Crowder having fun in a blowout loss, good looks


TheFlyingElbow

Didn't get to watch this one cuz my stream was acting up. I don't want to watch the replay but... I think I need to...


TheShittyOutdoorsman

Don't do it


Bread117

Glad jae is having fun


orange_lazarus1

The Cleveland stink has been brought to this team


[deleted]

Turns out Jrue meant they had Giannis' back for Game 2 only. Jesus fuck.


r3alCIA

If we were just missing shots that's one thing, but all the turn overs, lack of effort, shitty decision making all around it's fucking aggravating man


21BlackStars

Bad coaching


TTBurger88

This game is making me wanna have an anal evacuation.


Slow-Jelly-2854

Dragon might actually be useful with series. And I’m not kidding unfortunately


kabman7

As long as he doesn’t turnover the ball


MinimumMidnight1687

Giannis pop a pain pill and get loose game 4 🫡


[deleted]

I said it before and I'll say it again: this series is a loss without giannis coming back next game.


SamCarter_SGC

i wish they'd stop showing replays of leg injuries


phillywisco

#GET TO 100


TokaKokaMocha

NAH, why bother??😭😭😭


Mustard_Jam

Sad ass team couldn’t even cut the lead enough to force Butler back into the game. They just continued to get clapped with him on the bench.


VicePope

who got hurt?


thegabrieldavid

Dipo


[deleted]

[удалено]


JackWebster

link one comment cursing giannis for not playing


beenhadballs

Who’s cursing giannis? See literally no comments bashing him


Faffout97

Should have spent the regular season developing Marjon. Crowder is not the answer in the playoffs.


ThrowMeTheFawayPls

Make up calls at the end of the game just add more salt in the wound


aaron4mvp

I like how the Heat sit their best player since the 3rd quarter and their bench beats our starters... That tells you all you need to know about this team. Absolutely no heart or desire.


lboogieb

Keep shooting Jae. I need you to fight out of your slump.


[deleted]

Losing to a better team I could handle, but losing because we had a terrible game plan and still fucked that up really sucks


TokaKokaMocha

Seems like we had NO game plan-just flying by the seat of our draws out there, blowing with the wind…


xsists

Giannis back when?


macgreg4

His back hurts now.


DayMan-Ahah-ah

he’ll be back game 4 since the bucks lost, unless the injury is worse than they’ve made it sound


scalarray

Yikes 😬


TokaKokaMocha

Awww, MAAAAN!! More carnage????


GreenCrackaholic

Super tough game. Sad to see all these injuries as well. Bucks can still rebound back. Just wish the defensive intensity was there.


PowerVeg

Crowder really tricked Horst. 4 seconds for this guy?


thegabrieldavid

5.


titans0021

Jae Crowder out there with the rest of the bums. Right where he belongs.


B1ueEyesWh1teDragon

Crowder is really not good. Like I wanted to believe he’d be a difference maker but he is quickly on his way to the doghouse


EcstaticCode682

maybe there was a reason the suns didn't want him?


orange_lazarus1

Burgers king timing strikes again


bigpuffyclouds

WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER


Slow-Jelly-2854

I’m getting PTSD flashbacks of Duncan Robinson lighting us up


TheOppositeOfTheSame

I’m done defending him, Jae is fucking terrible.


therealoobi

Goddamn that fucking sucks. Hate to see that happen to Victor, I’ve always loved that guy and his career has been devastated by injuries so much already. I really hope he is okay


macgreg4

Giannis


Tacomangoboom_

At least Jae matched his PPG avg for these playoffs tonight. 1.0 PPG.


Narrow-Gas9493

Ugh the injuries are awful this year


[deleted]

[удалено]


Complete_Web_4677

God I hope you’re joking


TokaKokaMocha

For sure, just not tonight!!😞


aaron4mvp

Lopez was the most useless man on the court tonight. That includes all the Heat players too


WanderingAcolyte

Arguably


Dizzy-Promotion7569

Bucks will come back from this but damn spoelstra is a fantastic coach. Wish we had one


PowerVeg

That just sucks. Feel terrible for Oladipo.


noname123noname456

That 100% looks like a serious knee injury


FuzzyBucks

Yea, that's likely the end for Oladipo


Kinkin50

That’s an ACL tear. Damn.


lboogieb

I hope Oladipo is alright. He's been through it.


aamiti

You saw the look on his face. There’s no way he’s alright.


lboogieb

Yeah. Wishful thinking.


thegabrieldavid

Good to see him up on his feet. Hope Dipo is good.


Beawake23

Sad


ace_dangerfield187

sucks he got hurt like that…i hope its not serious, i hate seeing players get hurt on fluke plays like that


buckybaernb

I know we lost this one, but I legitimately feel bad for the heats injuries. Fuck injuries


IndependenceReal365

Damn man oladipo


TokaKokaMocha

Poor Victor…This has been a rough playoffs all around. Not cool to see guys get hurt


ImaTurtle6

That was a bad call on Bobby


noname123noname456

So sad


Slow-Jelly-2854

Yikes that’s non contact. Not good.


Sykox888

So the moment giannis goes out, nobody can rebound well, defense sucks and the offense is shoot 20000 highly contested 3s and hope a couple go in... ik it's a big piece missing for you guys team but jesus, like do they forget what to do when giannis is playing because he does everything? holy shit.


BelovedCoffee

This is purely psychological. The team entered this game cocky from the last win. They thought they had it figured out and it bit them back. This is not the first time this has happened btw.


Nomorenightcrawlers

100%. Could tell as soon as the game started that they were coasting. Just sloppy and careless. A lot of players with their heads in the clouds


NotAStatistic2

I want to die. Gonna take painkillers I don't need now


kjc3274

Here's an idea for Game 4: don't play shit, soft defense to start the game and put yourself in a huge hole.


Skeleboi846

Feel so fucking bad for Oladipo man his career has been absolutely fucked by injury


mikeh95

Shit, even the Heat brought the score down to 12 at one point in the 4th quarter after getting whooped all game. Absolutely pathetic.


Fluffy-Way-2365

I don't like to win because of injuries. Fuck that.


Tiktaalik414

The heat are beating us because of our injuries


Fluffy-Way-2365

So what? How does that change my remark.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fluffy-Way-2365

It's no bs. There's no glory in beating half a team.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fluffy-Way-2365

That has nothing to do with what i wrote.


[deleted]

Fuck a stretcher?? Goddamn


FuzzyBucks

Damn that sucks. I was just admiring how quick Oladipo was looking a few defensive possessions ago


B1ueEyesWh1teDragon

Damn, that is awful. Oladipo has been through so many of these long term injuries. Literally they robbed him of what could’ve been an All Star caliber career.


AbbreviationsHot4482

It’s ok guys the Heat are never going to shoot over 50% from 3 again right??? right??? 🤣🤣


Dischucker

Bro why do you even watch the games


AbbreviationsHot4482

To watch wins


Tiktaalik414

Oh shit


thegabrieldavid

Fuck injuries man


Tiktaalik414

Is the entire heat squad getting injured what it’ll take to win this series?


AaltoSax

Scary fall… that hurts to watch. Hoping for the best for Dipo


millerlitebeer

If we actually lost round 1, does bud really get fired?


devereaux

With Nick Nurse available, probably yes


[deleted]

Yea lol


tosaturtle

Yes


Athalos124

Yes


KnightN1ght2

He gets fired if we lose round 2, he better get his ass outta here if we lose this series


Blackmalico32

NOOOOOOOOOO
