What was your biggest frustration from Game 3?
Bud is one of those guys who loves getting punished by the Miami Heat Coach. The more you whip 💫his but, the more he likes it and returns for a second and third helping. YES ! – KICK MY BUT ONE MORE TIME FOR OLD TIME SAKE ! 🦶💥 Seriously, the Bucks should fire Bud & bring in Udoka as makeshift coach. What's the worst thing that can happen to GM Jon Horst ?
As I’ve been saying all season, our role players and TOs kill us in big games. We have 4 2RP for crowder and he’s been non-existent. We are playing with no urgency or fire, Miami will bounce us if we don’t tighten up. Giannis or no Giannis we are more than good enough to win this series without him if our guys step up
No heart, no defense, turnovers, no Giannis. If Giannis can’t play they will be knocked out in the first round by a play in team.
Like I’ve been saying all season… get Giannis some real help. It’s zero reason this team should be struggling to compete with the heat without Giannis there plugging all the holes on the ship
It was a really fun year. Sometimes, most years, our best players get hurt in the playoffs and we lose. What are ya gonna do, right?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am loving it. They desperately need Giannis, but they can't say it because of pride. Giannis shouldn't come back at all. You guys disrespect the guy way too much. I'm loving it🤣🤣🤣🤣.
if giannis is good to go monday we are fine for now.The conserning thing is our defense which is non existent at the moment.we cant keep anyone in front of us .and that has been the case for a month before the regular season ended
Jrue Holiday with another "I'm far worse than Bledsoe in the postseason" gotta trade this dude I'm over it. I'm sorry can't have a point guard with super low BBIQ. Gotta move this guy in the off season
It’s a different team now. They don’t have that hunger. They have the talent but not the eye of the tiger like in 2021. Bud resting these guys the last 4 games was a mistake.
😂😂😂
First, if Giannis doesn't have a broken bone missing these games would be the most punk pussy shit I've ever seen and athlete do.
2nd we need to fire bud and hire Nick Nurse.
3rd trade Jrue Holiday. Dude fucking sucks. I don't even care about the defense fuck that. He's too old to to lean on defense. Trade him for anything you can.
Bud once again using load management to turn all our players into pussies.
Bucks gonna get gentleman swept
Just to let everyone know the heat missing their 3 best players kicked the bucks ass. Because we are coached by a literal moron.
Watching Coach Bud Mike McCarthy us out of the post season every year is rough. What a complete failure this guy is, an average coach would have at least 3 titles with the roster he's had.
We looked mentally soft and were strategically embarrassed for the second time this series. The size advantage we were supposed to have completely disappeared. Brook Lopez had six points, three rebounds and two assists. Six points. We knew that Miami would make adjustments, and I guess there was nothing we could do about that, right? They pushed us out of the way, and we stayed pushed out of the way. Coaching & execution. The mental strength that it takes to stay focused in on the task at hand seemed to be too much for our role players. Joe Ingles goes from shooting the lights out to being a complete zero. Jevon Carter & Jae Crowder are complete zeroes in the series. Bobby Portis played with a lot of heart tonight, but not with a lot of common sense, so while he wasn’t a complete zero, he was a let down. But Brook Lopez, who I’ve argued is just as important as the rest of the big three had a play tonight with Khris trying to inbound the ball to him, and was looking the defense away to fool them, and apparently fooled Brook as well, and the ball went right through his hands. Whoops, right? That tells me everything I need to know about his focus and clarity going into this game. Extremely let down by a team that I thought was better. If Giannis was at 60%, then he needed to have been out on the court because they’re not consistently good enough to play the conservative gambling game & buy him more time.
Jrue Holiday hit his first four shots and decided, well that's it folks, no more running offense no more pick and rolls, no more forcing switches or hunting mismatches (while KEVIN LOVE AND DUNCAN ROBINSON ARE ON THE FUCKING FLOOR) Nope this is the Watch Jrue Holiday who is worse than Eric Bledsoe show.
We starting to look like a fluke and we don't deserve the 1 seed.Bud is getting out coached,Brook didn't bring the effort ,Jrue was mediocre and Middleton needs to step up.Crowder n Ingles needs to show is he value at some point .What is scary is that I don't think even with Giannis they will be able to take on the heat easily.
Something that I think is not as well understood is that Miami's players have learned to get their shots through non-stop movement and systems, so when you give them free shots it's simple training for them, Budd wants his shooters lazy cones , maybe it's the main reason they have such extreme fluctuations. Strauss and others move like crazy to free themselves.
Giannis is week. Aw my back hurts I can’t even play three games after. Boo fucking who. Blue collar people don’t get a chance to sit and not work so we go to work in pain.
Is Giannis done with his vacation yet? 😢
Although I'm not content with the defensive effort, it wasn't terrible, the Heat for some reason just decided to turn into the KD Warriors out of nowhere after an entire sucky season. The one thing I hate is that they are going over EVERY screen. We are NOT playing steph curry!!!
People keep assuming Giannis is gonna come back and save them. He has not practiced at all since his injury. He is more hurt than the Bucks are saying and likely won’t be effective even if he comes back.
Miami is averaging close to 30 points a quarter… in every game… my biggest frustration
I couldn't be a coach in the NBA. All my starters would hate me, lol.. Anytime I'd see a performance brewing up like the one from last night, I'm benching everybody 😂. We're not coming this far just for yall to come out and embarrass the organization like this. I'd be like, "What's that, guys? Oh, you don't really feel like playing defense? Alright then 🤷🏿♀️ Beauchamp, AJ, suit up!" And it's 1st quarter still 😂.
Defense wins Chips…without Giannis defense, Bucks are washed up
I dont understand why they are so inconsistent….they don't seem hungry to win. Even if they get past the Heat, they won't survive the next team
