The Bucks have a hella tough road to the finals. Miami isn't great but they're tough. Brooklyn, then Philly. If they win it this year they'll have earned it.

It's looking like Bucks will sweep Miami atm, so they'll be fresh as well. Nets need to do their job and take care of business.

Is this any different than what they've done in previous years ? No. So don't act so surprised.

Miami has some tough players and plays an aggressive style. How they built their team isn’t a mistake but I would hope no team would be whining about how physical their opponent is playing during a playoff series. Just kick them right back in the teeth.

Miami pulled same stunts in the first round series against Sixers a few years ago. When they are outmatched they just push the envelope knowing refs can't call "every" foul and so they get away with dirty plays constantly.

Yup, that's your "Heat culture". They've done same dirty **** against Sixers in 2018, when they realised that can't compete in the game of basketball.

Really impressed with Gianiss maturity staying calm and composed in the Ariza and Bejlica dirty plays.

Dragic tripped OG in the bubble - no flagrant.

Last game of the 2018 season they whacked Fred's shoulder on purpose so he was out that playoffs.

The Heat are unfortunately a team that is both scrappy and 100% dirty. They equalize other team's talent by trying to hurt the other team and because the Heat are a marquee franchise, they get away with it.

Just like how Theis was a god defensively on the Celtics and now he's a sieve. Some teams are allowed to play in different ways than other teams.

It seems like every team in the league is getting choppy now. I’m not sure why we’re singling out the Heat, get ready for ten minutes of refs reviewing for a hostile action in every game

For anyone that didn't see. Giannis stayed composed and gave him the "really my ninja?" face.
