Really sad that it was while Giannis was not on the court and down 3-0
What a sad little wold the Khris haters live in.

Bud seemed to have had the light bulb moment that he needs Wes on Jimmy down the stretch. That is a minor, realistic change that could make a massive difference going forward.
I mean half the media and most of this board thought it was a good idea to put Giannis on Butler after game 1.
If we guard Butler every minute he's on the floor with Matthews or Bledsoe and go under every screen versus him, if we don't close out on Iggy at the 3 point line, if we don't play Pat or Korver unless in ATO sets and if we find a way not to get outrebounded 4v1 vs Adebayo we win this series.
That's true, but I sure as hell didn't.
Agree with everything else. Wes/Bled can switch throughout, but I do trust Wes most on Jimmy in high leverage situations. He is calculated and disruptive.

Bud is a better coach without Giannis, just as Kerr was a better coach without KD. The presence of both of either megastar reinforces Kerr/Bud’s worst coaching habits. In Kerr’s case it was triangle concepts and mid post ISO’s for KD that bogged down the ball movement and made, for Bud, having Giannis makes it too easy to rely on drive and kick over and over again and ignore Middleton’s prowess in pick and rolls or ISO’d up top.
We ain't giving you Giannis buddy. This is a good problem to have. He's got to be a better coach.

Exactly
The stud talk is ridiculous. He isn’t prime Kobe. That’s a stud for heavens sake.

He was -25. Not close to any other player. The bucks played worst when he was on the floor. Which is not to say that they played badly every minute he was on the floor.

Did you really just post a lineup with the starting 2 guard being JR Smith?
Our actual management posted a lineup with the starting 2 guard being Tony Snell.

Stop using single game +/- to judge player performance.
Just wanted to win a title. Down 3-1 to the Heat. Happy for you guys that now we can pretend it's all Bud as we watch two other teams in the ECFIheartfootball wrote:DavidDunn21 wrote:No points in the 4th, deferred to Donte with the season on the line, stumbled around the overtime before he hit a few shots...but but but....Prez wrote:36/8/8 with 9 in OT in an elimination game w/o the MVP
Khris is a stud and the haters can eat it
He finally hit a big shot and he finally played good in a win so I have nothing bad to say.

Imagine how good the other guys could be if Giannis was willing to drag the Heat's two best defenders away from the ball on a regular basis instead of going for his regardless of how many guys are set and how far from the basket he is.
He was really good today when he played though. Saved them when they would have fallen WAY behind early. Just mix that in with what everyone else is capable of contributing and we'd all forget this bubble **** fast.
Miami is not very good. I continue to firmly believe that. Bucks have totally sabotaged themselves in this series.
That’s on Bud not Giannis
Yeah. Our spacing is awful. Giannis gets the ball. The double team is coming.
Hill/Marvin/Wes have their back on him slowly getting to their spot not in a hurry.
Lopez is 10 feet away from the 3p line for no reason and his defender is near the paint.
Bledsoe is ready for a brick and doesn't move and if he gets the ball hesitates or when he sees that his defender is not paying him any attention he also comes inside for no reason clogging the paint even farther for Giannis.
Middleton has a defender all over him far away from Giannis.
Giannis is getting swarmed and half the guys are not at their spot. Somehow with two guys on him nobody is open unless it's Bledsoe or someone else in the far corner. Evevybody is just standing there watching him either force the issue or turn the ball over.
Only Pat and Donte are smart/quick enough to make frequent fast cut and Giannis finds them for easy layups all of the time.
Other than that nobody is moving and it makes the job of the defenders much easier especially when the drill for the same play over and over again throughout a series.
Bud should have had atleast 5 different plays for Giannis to get the ball in the paint or make use of his gravity and instead we have only a couple that we don't even execute properly.
