I hate complaining about it because it is what it is and every team is dealing with the same thing but I think this team specifically needed a true homecourt advantage to get where they wanted to go.

The officiating has completely changed from the first. Not unwelcome, but **** bizarre.

My blood pressure is in the danger zone after watching 40y old Korver running over screens trying to get at their best 3p shooter and one of the best in the league. D.Robinson was so wide open he wouldn't believe it.

Again and again. Give Giannis the ball, let him work against 3-4 opponents, hope he doesn't commit an offensive foul. Rinse and repeat and fail.

This is a repeat of when teams figured out the Jason Kidd era gimmick defense, and our coaching staff never had the ability or willingness to adapt.

Why do we suck so hard though?
I mean, why is it that most other teams can play just fine through all that and we can't?
Celtics, Nuggets, Jazz, LA, Dallas etc, even the Raps, they all look fine.

He is bad but so are the players. 30 percent 3 point shooting? Are you kidding me? We were supposed to have surrounded Giannis with shooters. Every good team focused on adding 3 point shooters even if they were sometimes deep bench players. We did not. This is on Horst

Do we still have DDV, Pat C, Marvin and Kyle Korver? Because I can imagine it and it doesn't look that different.

The Buck's problem is they are playing with the same mindset and same intensity as they would in a game against the Bulls on a Tuesday night in January. This team has no competitive fire and can't raise their game to match Miami's playoff intensity. Bunch of softies with no fire or killer instinct.

Let’s hire Joe Prunty. He hasn’t lost a game in the bubble.

Now we just need to actually switch the damn guard screens.

this team isnt' built for the playoffs.. we got lucky that we played Boston last season that's really our only conquest to even remotely be proud of...

The NBA figures it would be embarrassing for the #1 seed and the back-to-back MVP to get blown off the court.

Fun two years boys. Going to be bleak when Giannis leaves. For me the only thing I can complian about are ownership not going for it and signing Brogdon and Bud **** the bed.

I'll continue to argue that he hasn't done much.

Yeah but at least Bud is at the level he always was.
The players are most definitely not, they look like they just back from holidays.

Might have developed some bad habits through lack of adversity during the regular season? The Heat are very good at punishing them for holding the ball a little too long and not working to get open for the pass in the half-court. Hope they learn from it.

Yea there just has to be ball movement and passing on O. Giannis at the top of the key vs set d has to go. Problem is they don't have anyone that shoot and attack off the dribble, and shoot off the dribble.

Last year was the year, when you still had Brog. He could hit the 3 and attack the closeout. Up 2-0 and GSW hurt, that's what the killer is gonna be as a fan.
