I As I said.. A lot of teams can win with superior talent but when the playoffs come you better know what the f*** y** are doing..

The fact that Miami has 7 undrafted players on this Roster alone is a Testament. And somehow this coach decides to let Miami's best player cook and cook and cook.

The Bucks need Reggie Miller or Tracy McGrady to win this game.

Can't believe some people didn't mind playing the Heat in the first round. Why even **** with that smoke?

Heat/Knicks would be a brawl if that happened. Whoever came out of that series would have nothing left in the tank

Bucks drop defense activated an awful offense. Bud might lose his job

He's the closest thing to Bernard King in today's game. Bernard had some great playoff games too.

The Heat’s second best player is Spoelstra.. Jimmy dragged a bag of dirty jerseys to a [likely] 3-1 lead. Nothing bad to say about this Heat team. Remarkable effort and taking advantage of Bud.

All I was told this season by the media was that the Bucks should be the favourites to win the title despite what we did to them in the regular season ….

I still think Bucks can win the series, but oh yes. Let them use everything they have just for round 1 hahaha.

Oh me too, they’ll be worn down, and I just don’t think they are nearly talented enough. Butler is playing amazing, but the Bucks are underachieving.

Also, people knock analytics, but the advanced stats showed the Bucks had some real warts this season.

I could only imagine if Smart got torched for 50, shot 6-19, and made boneheaded plays in crunch time of a must win Playoff game.

We’d be fine playing them. It was just avoiding them this early in the playoffs so you don’t have a dog fight on your hands.

Never expected THIS though. Bucks should be ashamed of themselves


Bucks are trash after Giannis, Holiday, Lopez, Middleton and Portis.
