17 point lead in the third quarter. Bucks just aren't championship material. They had complete control and then just **** the bed.

Godly game from Durant tonight. If only he had hit the FT for 50 points.

Series not over, but damn are the Bucks frustrating. Their areas to improve seem so obvious and they just can't get it implemented on court for whatever reason.

Legendary performance by KD. Regardless of what you think of his previous decisions, he’s changing the narrative before our eyes.

The series is definitely far from over.

I'm not sure what it is with Giannis but he has some sort of mentality where he feels he needs to be a perimeter player and he simply isn't there yet. It's a shame they didn't go for Chris Paul.

Yeah I'm out on the Bucks as a title contender. They don't even take advantage of the low hanging fruit that's right in front of them.

I know ppl including me have a tendency to overreact to recent stuff but that mightve been the Goat performance by any player in history........specially when you consider how loaded the Bucks defense is

KD shut a lot of people up tonight. My man was a missed FT away from a 50/17/10 triple double lmao.

Oh yeah, CP3 would've made sure he got in line.

It's not over, but certainly feels like a franchise altering loss. This meltdown feels like the Clippers in Game 5 against the Thunder in 2014.

It seems to me that the Bucks problem is that they have no obvious offensive creator. Middleton, Jrue and Giannis are quite clearly guys that should be playing off someone else.

If I recall, CP3 said he was willing to go there but Giannis didn't want him and preferred Jrue.

Well decided to work late tonight and reading up on this is a trip. And think this one's pretty well done. The Bucks have managed to generally look bad when they're winning and awful when they're losing, and can't get out of their own way.

Said this a little over 24 hours ago.

Well, it was nice to pretend that the league was wide open for a few days. Now back to the harsh reality of KD breaking the league again with another mega-stacked team and easy road to the Finals. :noway:

Good call.

I thought they'd win game 5 if KD had an all-timer and he definitely did :lol:
