We weren't the more "talented" team than Miami when they had the two best players on the floor (Jimmy and Bam) in the 3-games that Giannis missed, and arguably even afterwards because Giannis was clearly a shell of his usual athletic self.
It's truly incredible how many injury excuses get tossed out there for other teams but Giannis getting hurt just gets disregarded like it never happened.
To be fair most of us were fully expecting us to win that series even after Giannis went down. It was kinda the reason most (?) of us were okay with getting rid of Bud in the first place.
