The Bubble playoffs were AWESOME compared to this year. Silver has a perception problem now. All over the internet, the kids are stating the facts: this was the most boring Finals in a long, long time. Not one Finals game has a signature moment. Most of the games felt like a 1v8 first round series.

This might have been the signature moment:

A lucky half court shot during a blowout during a 3-1 series. Ouch.

None of that would stop me from buying hundreds of dollars worth of Champs gear if we had won in a similar situation. Hell we won facing an injured Trae Young-led Hawks team in the ECF.

It was lucky but it was more than that. Seconds before, Joe Mazzulla, always maximizing everything, put Pritchard in specifically to take that shot. Pritchard hit another one just like it at the end of the third quarter of game 2. He practices those and took them all year long.

Thats 1 team, Nets were missing Ky/Harden and KD had to literally play the whole game and step on a line while shooting a 3 for us to win. I mean we got lucky but not this lucky....

No Bucks fan should ever have to hear the "lucky" bull **** about 2021 ever again after these last two champions. 2021 and the Warriors in 2022 are the least "flukey" titles this decade by a landslide, and I'm someone who thinks the asterisk stuff is and always has been incredibly stupid.

My point wasn't to call ours lucky, just really weak to call a team lucky who had 4 all-star quality players and a vet like Horford who crushed it during the regular and crushed their (albeit weak) opponents in the playoffs. There are way worse champions than Boston but it is petty to call any champion lucky since it is so hard to win a championship.

I really only watched like 8 quarters, but I think we can all agree that the broadcast and general presentation was supremely lacking for the finals. Felt more like a primetime regular season matchup, rather than the actual finals.

ESPN/ABC/Disney is just trash all around

Finals would feel way more special on TNT or NBC

They should’ve been brave and just gave it to Jrue

Did anyone else not watch any of the Finals games? These were the most anticlimactic playoffs in quite some time.

Is this trolling? His career high ts% in the playoffs for us was 49%. That's what prompted the (necessary) change.

He/they haven't proven they can beat a healthy Bucks. We bowed out in the 1st rd w/ Jrue & more Giannis the prior season.

No.

Wrong...everything I stated was a fact, outside putting necessary in parentheses as a throw-in.

If Jrue could have provided any resistance whatsoever against Jimmy Butler, he would still have his job most likely. I dont want to hear **** from Jrue.

The Bucks had already made their bed at that point and there is no option to pin the loss on Jrue. There is playing team ball and then there is doing whatever the hell you want and expecting somehow Jrue to clean it all up for you.
