They gave up 3 x 1sts, and 3 (1st) Swaps for the next 6 years.
They're toast.

Crazy this might be the last time we face the Bucks as a “contender”. Their team might look very different the next time we face them.

We had some good battles.
2018 with Drew Bledsoe
2019 flame out with Kyrie
2022 Giannis was great but Grant game 7…

Been one hell of a ride.

Control the shot margins. 5 more shots than them total along with said 18 point advantage from behind the arc. They continue to do what they do.

I just didn't like how we got most of our three-point looks esp in the 1st half where it's one pass, chuck. But we executed really well in the clutch, attacking Dame and playing from there.

Was just thinking that - even if this bucks team gets their act together it’s a first round team not a second round/ECF team anymore.

I said to froob a week ago I had the bucks as a 6 seed, even that may have been over estimating them. This thing may blow up well before the ASB

Yeah it's crazy they've got a big hole to dig out of. Though there's a hypothetical Boston could have playoff runs through both Giannis/Embiid before the ECF even.
