All four games were, at some point, close in the 4th quarter. During the first 3 games we were able to execute more efficiently down the stretch. Today, it was Milwaukee. Yes we didn't play with enough attention to details. Yes, didn't play with enough intensity. Yes, we should have closed them out today. But it's not the end of the world.. not even close.

We haven't lost a game in nearly 3 weeks. It was about time we lose one. It'll help us get back to the drawing board. The game film will help a lot in zoning out the lazy habits we displayed in today's game. It takes a loss to truly learn.. had we won today we could have carried the same 'aura of invincibility' to the next round and it could have resulted in a game 1 loss to Boston/Toronto.

Plain and simple, today was a great wake up call. Look, we were going to lose eventually. Let's not get overboard..


Playoffs are ALL about match-ups, and with Giannis or without GIannis, we match-up extremely well against the Bucks. Regardless of what happened today, that simple fact has not changed. We have an abundance of 2-way wings who can slow down Middleton over the course of 48 minutes.Yes Middleton cooked us today, but he's not Kawhi, KD or Kobe... he's Kris. With a better gameplan and more intensity, we'll slow him down. Make no mistake about it.



Milwaukee fans can tell themselves whatever they want to in order to sleep better at night. They can convince themselves that they've got us 'figured out', despite being down 3-1 in the series.


Let's not forget who the real dogs are. We're the physical dogs in this series. They're the lamb. All these boys needed was a wake-up call. You can bet your house, wife and kids that next game will display some of the most intense basketball ever showcased from the Miami Heat. This is Erick Spoelstra we're talking about here. This is Udonis Haslem we're talking about here. This is PAT RILEY we're talking about here. A good ass kicking at tomorrows shoot around and these dudes will come out believing it's game 7 of the finals. Just watch.



Milwaukee Bucks, Mandarin Ducks, Raptors Suck.. it just doesn't matter. Miami in 5.

So many with a poor opinion of him. Boy can ball. Almost had a 50, 40, 90 % year this year. "Okay" players can't do that.

I feel like he did a pretty good job on both ends and really wasn't the main problem.

If we're counting on Jimmy to score 40 and destroy everything to the Finals then we're being delusional. He was never that kind of a player and never will be at this point. Supporting cast gotta hit shots and they will
