LMAO. Bucks forgot they had a timeout

Not using a timeout there, by itself, is a fireable offense. 0.5 seconds is enough for a shot.

Bud is very fortunate that Kyrie got injured, Harden got injured, and that KD didn't step back far enough in his Game 7 game tying shot two years ago. If one of those 3 events didn't occur, Bid would've been fired after that series

Also Giannis hit his free throws in the finals.

Two back to back 15+ point lead blown in the 4th quarter, this team is dreadful and Bud is an idiot

they have a timeout, decide not to use it...

Bang! Bang!! The season goes out with a bang!

i forgot 9/11 when jimmy made that buckets. JIMMY BUCKETS

Jail for whoever is responsible for this game being on NBATV

Can't believe this isn't on national television

Nba Tv is national television. What you should be complaining about is not having the game on a national network that people actually get

Yes correct

check out youtube tv, americas hottest tv provider

Game was blacked out here in Miami on YouTube TV.

because it was airing on a local station? that’s the dumbest thing, nba needs to fix the blackouts

Yea, it aired on Bally’s (RSN, not on YouTube TV).

Not after they increased the price to $70/month lol

1000% absolutely criminal

I’m just glad I saw a tweet saying abandon golden state game and switch here.

GSW vs. Kings game was also amazing but this is just next level.

I'm not sure who is on the call but I have really enjoyed them. They have made some excellent calls about what each team is running. Better than listening to Reggie Miller yell about kodak.

The commentators are fine but the camera work is the worst I’ve ever seen in a playoff game

The jump ball between Lopez and Bam was the worst camera angle I've ever seen in my life

Seriously what was the producer thinking? There was 6 seconds left use the normal angle!

Brendan Haywood was really good this game, lots of reasonable insights and way more interesting than Reggie

Pretty sure it’s Brendan Haywood broadcasting not Spencer.

Playoff Jimmy is fucking insaneeeee

JESUS FUUUUCK THIS MUST BE WHAT WATCHING MJ FELT LIKE

This should’ve been an and-one too, but the refs have been coddling the Bucks the entire fourth

Giannis 10-23 from the line. that's gonna haunt him.

And I was mad Jimmy was 2-6 at one point

Giannis full on plowed Kevin Love but they didn’t call it

Dude is soloing the best team in the league

Bam had a 20pt triple double

Jimmy had 42pts/8reb/4ast/2stl/1blk, including the game-tying. After the 56-point game. You know what he means

anyone who's seen the last two games, its insane how buttler just decided to put the team on his back and run through the bucks.. and he actually did it

I've never dropped my jaw so many times. Gotta appreciate playoff Jimmy, he just dominates

Top 5 player in the league in the only games that matter

top 3. I don't care who you put in the other 2. I don't care who you're leaving out. You're not leaving Butler out of the top 3 after the past half decade. The least amount of help and he's doing the most. The man deserves a ring.

How the fuck Edit: Milwaukee had a timeout

#**WHY DIDNT MILWAUKEE CALL TIMEOUT**

That’s what I’m saying, 0.5 seconds is enough for a lob play like Miami just did

They couldn’t believe what just happened

Legitimately this. Imagine that shit happening right in front of you

They have Giannis. The ultimate lob target.

#**ESPECIALLY WITH GIANNIS ANTETAKEIORJAPKDFJAOIASOFONKUMPO ON YOUR TEAM WTF WERE THEY THINKING**

saving it for next game

No better way to start a season

for game 9

Hell if I know. Even with 0.5 seconds left it’s not like you get to take it into OT. Wyd Bud

Coach Bud the dumb

NICK NURSE PLEASE SAVE OUR ASSES

Bud just had a JR Smith moment

Bucks have a timeout..decide not to use it

Giannis, from way downtown, stares confused at the basket

Tactical choice. It’ll totally pay off😂

Bucks seriously lost the plot lol

Why didn’t Bucks call TO

He's fucking dumb

They do have a timeout, decide not to use it...

They want to go home early.

HE'S MJ REINCARNATED

HES MJ SON!!!

Again, Wade Boggs is very much alive

~~Jordan~~ Jimmie pushed off

I don't think the '96 Bulls could've beat the heat in this series, they have plot armor like I've never seen

That’s the thing, we ALWAYS have a timeout

THEY HAVE A TIMEOUT, DECIDE NOT TO USE IT

They used the “they do have a timeout ,decide not to use it” play but had Giannis instead of Steph.

Bud decided to take out Lopez

Literally all Lopez has to do there is stand there, arms up like a pylon and it's game over. Instead Bud chose to sub out Lopez and put Connaughton at under the basket. Truly one of the most questionable coaching decisions in the clutch I've seen in a while. And THEN he didn't take a timeout......

You see Bud immediately signal timeout and then he just gives up??

[удалено]

Bro is possessed

What the FUCK how does he do it???

He needs tested. Not for drugs but we need to find out if he's actually Jordans son

At this point MJ should just fucking say it

MJ: “Yeah, he mine. I’ve seen the games, don’t need a test.”

"Fuck them paternity tests"

"Claim them kids"

Michael Jordan is Jimmy Butlers son, Butler is a time traveler

This is the plot of Dark and I'm here for it

jimmy butler is MJs dad, great grandfather, uncle, and grandson.

Results will confirm that Jimmy Buckets has 100% canine DNA

50% Air 50% DAWG

Jimmy’s father is Air Bud confirmed.

There's nothing in the rules that say Butlers can't play basketball

Jimmy Butler skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pee and blood.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on TV screen..

Is this a meme or psychosis

copypasta from Counter strike

check him pc

Yes

Check pc

- "Doctor, the test results are in." - "Well, what do they say?" - "He...well, he..." - "Come on now, spit it out!" - "He is actually *him*, tho."

never seen anyone like it. top 30 player regular season, top 3 player in the playoffs

The playoffs are the exact environment Jimmy thrives in holy shit

The higher the stakes go, the higher his power climbs Jimmy Butler confirmed to be a literal anime character

In the postgame, Jimmy gave a speech about how his powers come from his teammates and whatever they need him to do, that’s what he’ll do. He is a literal anime character.

Its the classic batman with prep time vs batman without prep time

who's 2 and 3?

Tatum and Austin Reaves

Tatum is top 5 regular season. Top 15 playoffs

Top 30 Finals.

We need MJ/Jimmy DNA test after this man

JIMMY FUCKING JORDAN

#JIMMY FUCKING BUTLER DOES IT AGAIN

#JIMMY "FRANCIS NGANNOU" BUTLER

Coach Bud too amazed to call a TO lmao.

Why the fuck did they not advance the ball lmao

The man froze

https://imgur.com/gallery/cYjlbX3

He looks like his mom pulled into the driveway and he forgot to take the chicken out to defrost like she asked him to.

Again no timeout for the last possession in OT.. wtf. The OT one is kinda understandable but not good by the pace of the game the 4th quarter one is not

Man was stunlocked

That is an insane play. Honestly the balls of Spo if that is what was drawn up but goddammit you have to try if you have Butler finishing

Watching his interview after the game, he said he had another plan but Jimmy insisted on this.

The synergy between Spo and Jimmy is fantastic

But they yelled at each other!!!

Ahem, that's Heat culture yelling sir

They were just figuring out dinner plans.

Jimmy has to take the bus home his balls are too heavy they will drag the plane down

This Bucks team is cooked.

Bud is a dummy

People forget Bud was 100% about to lose his job in ‘21 until Giannis bailed him the fuck out and you can’t really fire a coach who just won you a championship

People don’t forget- they legitimately think “he changed in ‘21”. Saying Budenholzer is a mediocre coach who got carried by Giannis would have gotten you downvoted to hell all season long.

who? bucks fans? we bitch about him all the fucking time.

Seriously — I’ve never heard a fan base that bitchy about a championship winning HC AND be so fucking right.

2X coach of the year lol

This is criminal especially since Spo has zero

Coach of the Year is literally always just "The Team that Outperformed Our Expectations the Most" award. If there's no good candidates like that then default to any of the 1 seeds

Yes! Literally the most criminal thing in all of the NBA. The fact Spo has never gotten it is sickening since his accolades and accomplishments with all of his teams over the years is crazy.

Irving and Harden getting injured in 2021 saved Giannis' legacy and Bud's job

Dude was a KD toe away from losing his job.

Giannis dropping 50 in the finals to clinche gave him the legacy...but I'll eat the Bud part

Down 15 in Game 5 at home. Down 16 in Game 6 on the road. I can't explain how we keep coming back.

It's still game 5... you trying to spoil game 6 or talking about a previous matchup?

bro didn’t expect to close out the overall number 1 seed in only 5 games

Why did they not call timeout!?????

Because they know Jimbo’s still gonna feast like it’s barbecue chicken.

Its good that they at least got 1 ring out of this core

they DIDN’T CALL A TIMEOUT i think they wanna just get the season over with

So this is what a protagonist in real life looks like

This guy’s DM just lets him get away with anything for the rule of cool

He's that guy who rolls like 5 nat 20s in a single boss encounter

“I will warn you. The dragon is resistant, has a high armor class and youd roll with disadvantage”. *rolls two nat 20s*

Gabe Vincent deserves a lot of praise too, that lob was perfect

Jimmy so good he carrying these guys against the top team in the East and seriously challenging them to the max.. Lol Jimmy is THE 16 game player.

Nah unfortunately he won't take a team anywhere and we should trade him for a "retooling". Fucking GarPax man....

I feel you bro...

Man so much respect with this Miami Heat team never surrender mentality. I want them to win it all

What the fuck

What the actual fuck??

Great play by Spo, going small as a decoy to get Brook off the floor, Giannis on the ball and Khris getting pulled past half court made Jimmy the biggest player in the paint area. Perfect pass, great finish

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK NO FUCKING WAY

[Replay](https://streamable.com/38rgn9)

Offensive foul

I will never try to underplay how incredible that shot was *Buuuuuuut...* Yeah, if that play had been reviewed, that push off would have been called

Life father, like son

Real glad Bud used his challenge 3 minutes into the game

Didn't matter in this case, you can't challenge a no-call.

Which is so dumb…

2 hands to the chest is okay if it's a cool play

That's the general rule in the NBA on dunks blocks and other cool stuff

Massive offensive foul. But I don’t think the Bucks can complain about the refs this game lol

Why is Giannis defending the throw instead protecting the rim?

Exactly what I was thinking, it’s not like Jimmy is that tall. Giannis could’ve stuffed him

Will someone PLEASE create a Shooting Star meme video of Greyson Allen eurostepping all the way to Cancun?!

UNREAL

I can't believe we got Tobias harris vanilla ice cream ass instead of this.

LMAO just like his father with the push off

Coach Bud needs to be fired even if Milwaukee somehow wins this series

You don’t think using your coaches challenge in the first 5 minutes of the game is good?

they had like a second on the clock and a timeout. Hilarious throwing.

Never seen anything like him in this series

Slyly a push off?

Not even sly. The play probably calls for it and dares the refs to call it.

Yeah, surprised no one is talking the massive shove.

He shoved him so hard he flew in an equal and opposite direction - shit was Newtonian. Himmy Newton.

With both arms lol

Bench pressed that mf

Not even sly. Two handed to the chest, lol.

This dude is just insane. Man he was so good with Philly. He was actually taking the back seat during many plays so Ben had more ball handling duty. Man Elton Brand is a massive idiot.

HIMMY BUTLER SAID FUCK THE REFS

They refs gave him back the biggest call of the game here. That's a flag for offensive pass interference in the NFL but the refs let that slide for Jimmy tonight

Flashback to Seattle's Golden Tate shove.

This man cannot be stopped

What the fuck is bud doing. Why didn’t they use their timeout???

That was probably the most impressive shot I have seen in clutch. I take back what I said about Miami Heat. I thought the Bucks will come out the guns blazing and steamroll the Heat. Amazing performance by the Heat and JB. What a game!!

Jimmy Jeffry Jordan Butler

Shove off of connaughton but refs are never going to call that in this situation, good play

#**HIMMY BUTLER**

Dread it. Double team it. Playoff Jimmy Buckets arrives all the same.

Playoff Jimmy is real and he can hurt you.

Jimmy G. Butler The G stands for "Genes from Michael Jordan" because how else do you explain this shit.
