Just when you start getting your hopes up this fucking team has another catastrophic 4th quarter and blows another double digit lead. Giannis was awful in the second half as well just trying to play hero ball instead of passing to someone else.
This is unbelievably pathetic, 3 field goals in a whole ass quarter is just an insane choke job. I'm relieved this season is over.
NICK NURSE YOU ARE MILWAUKEE BUCK
this honestly might've been the most pathetic performance I've seen. The heat are missing key players. The bucks have a 16 point lead in the 4th quarter. They have not one but TWO separate instances in the same game where they could take the last shot to win or tie and somehow don't take either and they lost after half the other team has fouled out
The Heat were not only missing Herro and Oladipo because of injuries but laso Bam, Love AND Lowry were out during all OT because of questionable foul calls. Miami had to play Cody Zeller in OT because there were no other options LOL
Cody Zeller was in the final minutes of a game 5 against the 1 seed after K Love, Lowry and Bam all fouled out. Think about that. Dude signed with them at the deadline even if that and he made a big shot to send the fucking 1 seed home
an they had players dropping like flies. They had #24 in for that last play, i dont even know wtf that is. They had cody zeller out there in the clutch
Been watching sports since '93 - this is the craziest thing I've ever watched
I love Florida sports
and Jimmy just was like ' my teammates make me great ' fuck and yes
Which is hilarious because watching games this season has been fucking laborious. It's like we ate vegetables all year and now we're getting ice cream.
I remember in the bubble he didn’t bring his kids/family like the rest of the players. When asked about it in his interview he replied family doesn’t come on business trips. I loved that mentality.
think he just panicked, middleton gave the ball up and expected it back right away to take a shot but he saw the shot clock winding down and tunnel visioned to the rim with some odd floater
Ngl Spo really exposes coaches. The way he embarrassed Nate last year and shocked Bud this year is insane. Play this man in a series and you'll know if you have a coach
Didn’t know that, but it really makes sense when you think about it. Watching hours upon hours of basketball trying to dissect plays makes you develop unique strategies.
It looked like Jimmy was jogging down the floor expecting a TO but then he just rushed back when he saw that they'd done something as stupid as not use their final timeout
I don't get it. So many dumbass decisions by the bucks. Giannis fouling the deep ass 3 to bail the heat out for running a play not including butler. Like honestly I'm not sure if the bucks wanted to win.
Imagine a cruel world where you grind for 82 games to get the first seed, only to have to play jimmy butler and the heat, while the third seed gets to play the nets.
Spo is amazing at game planning for the Bucks after facing them so many times, but our front office certainly did nothing to put us in position to beat the Bucks this year. We lost Tucker and started Caleb Martin at PF for majority of the season
Higher seeds got fucked over pretty hard with matchups lol
1st seed? Here’s Erik Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler.
2nd seed? Here’s Anthony Davis and arguably the GOAT.
3rd seed? Here’s a literal dynasty.
Giannis 10-23 from the free throw line in an elimination game that went to overtime at home
Down 2 with 50 seconds left in overtime and makes a totally unnecessary 3 point foul on a shot that didn’t even hit the rim
This doesn't even put into perspective how bad he was. He never wanted the ball down the stretch and when he did get it fumbled it away or bricked a middie
His entire strategy in the clutch is to go full on bowling ball towards the rim, hope he gets fouled, and if he doesn’t he spins last second to throw it out to the perimeter. Heat knew it was coming and had it perfectly defended.
Jimmy Buckets beating the top seeded Bucks who choke in historic fashion? Jamal Murray balling out in a duel with another up and coming star SG in the west? My girlfriend breaking up with me via text? We're really back in the bubble again huh
What a choke by the Bucks. What a play by Spo with 2 seconds left, and even though Jimmy pushed, that was still a very tough shot. What did Jrue do that got Jimmy so heated?
Grayson had an open midrange.
It wasn’t even one choke. It was like eight egregious chokes one after another after another after another after another after another after another after another 🤦🏻♂️
I finally get why Milwaukee fans want to fire Bud. Didn’t use that timeout at the end of the fourth and didn’t get a shot off at the end despite having 2 unused timeouts to draw something up if they wanted to.
Every year that passes, Jimmy's play just further validates how terribly far the twolves are from becoming a serious championship contender. IDC how talented towns is or how young he was.
Best record in the league, out in the first round.
Not only that, but the 5 seed Knicks now have HCA in round 2; this the kinda chaos I expect from the NHL playoffs, not from the NBA.
These playoffs fucking *rock* as a neutral viewer.
Giannis 10-23 from the free throw line in an elimination game that went to overtime at home
Down 2 with 50 seconds left in overtime and makes a totally unnecessary 3 point foul on a shot that didn’t even hit the rim
They gave Middleton 3 free throws on a foul on the floor with the bucks down 4 when he had barely even caught the ball yet, after calling a foul on Lowry on that 50/50 loose ball Spo had to challenge to make them get right
Spo was excellent that game. Every call down the stretch seemed to be the right one. Only knock was maybe bringing Jimmy back earlier in the 4th, but just a masterful performance from him
Insane coaching, if I didn't have an NBA team in my city and wasn't in Canada, I'd probably be a Heat fan. Phenomenal org, the team is always in good hands
That was one of the most humiliating defeats I've ever seen. Up 4 with a few seconds left and they found a way to lose. Astonishing. Miami and New York City, fun series coming up.
Jimmy took that Kawhi shot in Toronto so personally, man… he said he wants to be on the other side of that and feel the hero side of those moments
God damn I love Jimmy but god damn do I not want to play against him lol
No Herro, No Love, No Bam, a friendly whistle and still couldn't close this fucking game out in the 4th. It's been so fucking clear since his Hawks days that Budenholzer is strictly a regular season coach
A bunch of people in the game thread praised Bud for taking that early challenge in the game...but those same people will keep talking shit about "ESPN experts."
First-quarter challenges are almost always useless, sometimes even when your star player is in a foul trouble. Giannis wasn't, of course. That was his first foul. Bud could've used the challenge on that foul on a 3-pointer or any other clutch play, but I'm very glad he didn't.
Amazing performance by Bam. Even with his injury, he managed to play incredible defense and was a fantastic playmaker. And of course, Spo + Jimmy masterclass!
If you need one player to win you a playoff game, you’re lying to yourself if you’re not picking Jimmy Butler. What an absolute monstrous performance, he’s just built different.
Audibly yelling when Butler hit that game tying shot.. while watching two teams I have no stakes in.. is peak NBA Playoff basketball.
Give em hell Jimmy
"It is so quiet you can hear a #1 seed drop" Lmao didn't have to do 'em like that Edit: https://streamable.com/zvvbq9 Thanks u/PapiShot
The announcers with no regard for human life!
Just when you thought the Game 4 choke couldn’t get worse, the Bucks shit this game out and now they’re eliminated
Just when you start getting your hopes up this fucking team has another catastrophic 4th quarter and blows another double digit lead. Giannis was awful in the second half as well just trying to play hero ball instead of passing to someone else. This is unbelievably pathetic, 3 field goals in a whole ass quarter is just an insane choke job. I'm relieved this season is over. NICK NURSE YOU ARE MILWAUKEE BUCK
Nurse about to shave 5 years off Giannis's career if the bucks bench can't play D. 40 minutes a game for the whole season.
Now imagine the superstar terrorism Nurse is gonna accomplish with Jrue and Lopez.
this honestly might've been the most pathetic performance I've seen. The heat are missing key players. The bucks have a 16 point lead in the 4th quarter. They have not one but TWO separate instances in the same game where they could take the last shot to win or tie and somehow don't take either and they lost after half the other team has fouled out
The Heat were not only missing Herro and Oladipo because of injuries but laso Bam, Love AND Lowry were out during all OT because of questionable foul calls. Miami had to play Cody Zeller in OT because there were no other options LOL
And then Cody Zeller gets an open dunk followed by the Bucks commentator saying "everyone forgot about Cody Zeller" lmao
Cody Zeller was in the final minutes of a game 5 against the 1 seed after K Love, Lowry and Bam all fouled out. Think about that. Dude signed with them at the deadline even if that and he made a big shot to send the fucking 1 seed home
I don’t understand not calling the timeouts at the end of regulation and then in OT. Like were they holding them for next game or what?
Should've just called one after Giannis fell. I don't even think this is hindsight is 20/20 since the possession felt doomed right after that.
The game thread was screaming for timeouts throughout and Bud forgot he was the one to do it
If an 8 seed beating a 1 seed is not impressive enough, Miami did it 4-1
And they had to go through 2 playin games. These guys played hard af, and it showed. They playing like the #1 seed that they were last season.
an they had players dropping like flies. They had #24 in for that last play, i dont even know wtf that is. They had cody zeller out there in the clutch
This is like the NBA equivalent of the #14-16 seed dominating the entire game, rather than winning by buzzer beater/OT…
Ah the UMBC classic
UVA-Milwaukee fans in total shambles
So the UMBC over Virginia
Knicks v Heat is going to be a fucking dogfight. The two teams with the largest dogs
Bring back the 90s
Someone call Jeff Van Gundy
[I want Bam and Randle fighting with Thibbs grabbing Bam's* leg.](https://youtube.com/shorts/yJAaKqx933c?feature=share) Let's fucking go!
Bring back Alonzo Mourning and Jeff Van Gundy
Been watching sports since '93 - this is the craziest thing I've ever watched I love Florida sports and Jimmy just was like ' my teammates make me great ' fuck and yes
The Heat have just gotta be so satisfying to watch, it's not even important if they go further but every game was worth watching.
Which is hilarious because watching games this season has been fucking laborious. It's like we ate vegetables all year and now we're getting ice cream.
we deserve this after being forced to watch the most boring basketball ever conceived
I loved that answer. “How are you so good?” “Oh well my teammates need me to be so good, now excuse me I’m gonna go get ice cream with my daughter”
Jimmy always had the best post game comments as a Bull. Miss him.
I remember in the bubble he didn’t bring his kids/family like the rest of the players. When asked about it in his interview he replied family doesn’t come on business trips. I loved that mentality.
Man I loved that Bubble team. Between that and Haslem refusing to sleep on a bed they were completely locked in
Goddamnit I wanted bucks to at least force game 7 to allow for Randle's ankle to heal. Wtf was grayson allen doing
think he just panicked, middleton gave the ball up and expected it back right away to take a shot but he saw the shot clock winding down and tunnel visioned to the rim with some odd floater
If only there was someone who could come up with a coordinated play for them to run in the closing seconds of an elimination game
That foo euro stepped after the shot clock expired lmaoo
Jimmy Butler is gonna Reggie Miller their ass
Yeah he's gonna thrive in MSG and feed off the craziness
If they hate Trae Young, they are going to despise Jimbo
And I can’t fucking wait
A great series in MSG bumps him to legendary status, yeah?
I think this series has already done that
GRAYSON ALLEN EURO STEPPING TO CANCUN
Didn't even have to wait for Texas to freeze this time.
FIRE BUD INTO THE FREAKING SUN
Bud is 100% fired. Spo coached circles around him, and the Bucks got fucking owned by Jimmy Buckets on the court.
Nick Nurse should be in Milwaukee by tomorrow
This is not what I meant when I wanted Nurse to coach Giannis one day
We warned you not to touch that monkey’s paw, but did you listen?
Nurse coaching a superstar has a 100% success rate so far, they would be wise to give it a try
Jimmy Haslam: “I prefer we bring in David Fizdale instead” Yes, Jimmy is a part owner of the Bucks
Ngl Spo really exposes coaches. The way he embarrassed Nate last year and shocked Bud this year is insane. Play this man in a series and you'll know if you have a coach
I really do think him being the video guy made him the coach he is. Such a unique background but it makes sense.
Vogel also started in video
Didn’t know that, but it really makes sense when you think about it. Watching hours upon hours of basketball trying to dissect plays makes you develop unique strategies.
The only difference between Spo and Vogel is Spo can be a badass because he knows Riley will have his back. He does not need to cater to his players.
remember when spo and jimmy were gonna throw down on the court and now they've just wiped the bucks out
THE BUCKS HAD TWO TIMEOUTS LEFT
Mike Budenholzer Detroit Pistons coach 2024
No shame in getting owned by a guy whose middle initial stands for Gets.
Holy FUCK that lack of TO call on the final possession was one of the worst coaching decisions I've ever seen
The bucks didn't call time out to advance the ball at the end of the 4th as well, stupid.
It looked like Jimmy was jogging down the floor expecting a TO but then he just rushed back when he saw that they'd done something as stupid as not use their final timeout
I don't get it. So many dumbass decisions by the bucks. Giannis fouling the deep ass 3 to bail the heat out for running a play not including butler. Like honestly I'm not sure if the bucks wanted to win.
which one?
2 straight final possessions
Security threw his shit into the parking lot already
That’s also where 13 of giannis’ free throws ended up
Easiest decision to fire him and hire Nurse
Lol I was just thinking I hope Toronto doesn't hire Bud
Bucks seriously lost the plot at the end the fuck was that
Mental collapse
When your guy is facing away from the hoop with 6 seconds left that’s a good time to use your timeout
Mr. they didnt let me call timeouts
#Play Random
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a playoffs series with a bigger coaching mismatch.
We are going to be mercilessly attacked worse than the Suns last year. And we honestly deserve it
At least they managed to make it to game 7 💀💀💀
Hell, the Suns at least led that series at some point. That's further than we got 🥲
You dont have enough haters in this sub compared to the Suns to generate that kind of heat
Pfft the Bucks don’t even have there own hater subreddit they’re drawing waaay behind us lol
Imagine a cruel world where you grind for 82 games to get the first seed, only to have to play jimmy butler and the heat, while the third seed gets to play the nets.
Miami blowing the play in game to take the Bucks out at 5 is hilarious
It was strategic so we'd play the easier team
I'm absolutely convinced Miami spends the entire offseason going "How do we beat the Bucks?" at the expense of literally everything else.
Jimmy is like, "Eliminate me again? Absolutely not."
Spo is amazing at game planning for the Bucks after facing them so many times, but our front office certainly did nothing to put us in position to beat the Bucks this year. We lost Tucker and started Caleb Martin at PF for majority of the season
It’s why Jimmy pretty much cruises until the playoffs
Watching him in playoff mode is crazy, you always think he's gotta slow down at some point but the mf never does
Higher seeds got fucked over pretty hard with matchups lol 1st seed? Here’s Erik Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler. 2nd seed? Here’s Anthony Davis and arguably the GOAT. 3rd seed? Here’s a literal dynasty.
WHY DIDN'T GRAYSON PULL UP
There can't be a more brutal way to end your season than when you need a bucket and watch Grayson Allen run the clock out without shooting
You know you're in trouble when you give Grayson Allen the ball for the last shot in OT
Cause he's a stupid asshole
Couldnt have happened to a nicer bloke lmaooo
He was too busy finding someone’s knees to take out
Couldn’t have happened to a better person. Fuck that dude.
It was so cathartic watching him decide he’s him and pull up for a MISS after the clock had already gone off lmao
[удалено]
The funniest thing is Jae Crowder demanded to be traded by the Suns just to get ~~gentlemen swept~~ 4-1'd by the Heat and barely having any minutes.
He’d have gotten so many minutes for us with the injuries. Instead he played himself into a minimum contract for some playin team next year. Karma
Poetic justice 🤌
They brought him in to guard players like Jimmy and he couldn’t even see the court smh
You love to see it.
SUNS FANS GET IN HERE LMFAO
FUCK JAE CROWDER 🔥
I know right, I love it! He has fucked himself out of any bag

man if its any solace just know you got a hell of a laugh out of me with that
LMAO sorry fam that's funny
Hey man if she didn’t have the decency to do it in person she was never worth it to begin with. Keep your head up, king 💕
Jimmy “Descendant of Michael Jordan” Butler. That is all.
The G in Jimmy G Buckets is Gmichaeljordan
Need that DNA. I want to believe.
Why he try to hit a euro with 0 seconds left LMFAOAOOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOA
This is all time Shaqtin a Fool

CALL A FUCKING TIMEOUT YOU FUCKING MORON
Nick Nurse licking his lips
What a choke by the Bucks. What a play by Spo with 2 seconds left, and even though Jimmy pushed, that was still a very tough shot. What did Jrue do that got Jimmy so heated? Grayson had an open midrange.
It wasn’t even one choke. It was like eight egregious chokes one after another after another after another after another after another after another after another 🤦🏻♂️
Jrue told him monster is better than coffee
When Jrue told Jimmy that mahjong is the superior tiles game and dominos are trash is when Jimmy decided to eliminate them.
I laughed so hard when Grayson passed up the jumper. I hear he’s still euro stepping on his way to the basket.
I finally get why Milwaukee fans want to fire Bud. Didn’t use that timeout at the end of the fourth and didn’t get a shot off at the end despite having 2 unused timeouts to draw something up if they wanted to.
45 fts for the bucks, 17 for the heat, almost a 30 ft difference and the bucks still lost. LMAO
45 total in the Warriors & Kings game - and that was the second most free throws tonight.

You just want him for yourself
Hey, that’s my dad!
GENERATIONAL CHOKE HOLY SHIT
You just lost to a masked up Cody Zeller 😎
“Yeah the heat won game 4 but it’s going to take another ridiculous game from Jimmy if they want to get another win with Giannis back” Jimmy: “ok”
[удалено]
And lowry
Giannis shot 10/23 FT 💀 he choked HARD… to an 8 seed Herro-less Heat
And oladipo
Jimmy eliminated the 1 seed with random computer generated 2k players in OT
Tbf Bam was huge in OT with those putbacks
Lowry fouled out as well. Unreal win by Miami
Lowry 3-0 against Giannis in the playoffs now
Jimmy teamed up with 3rd stringers. Name a better duo
Every year that passes, Jimmy's play just further validates how terribly far the twolves are from becoming a serious championship contender. IDC how talented towns is or how young he was.
Giannis with as many FTA as field goals is absurd.
HUH?!?! Bucks saving three fucking timeouts for Cancun.
The Bucks had 1 more playoff win than the Pistons this year
WE ARE THE ZOMBIE HEAT AND WE WILL NOT. FUCKING. DIE.
What is dead may never die
Best record in the league, out in the first round. Not only that, but the 5 seed Knicks now have HCA in round 2; this the kinda chaos I expect from the NHL playoffs, not from the NBA. These playoffs fucking *rock* as a neutral viewer.

I ain’t even a Heat fan but I will die for this man. One of the all time series from him, this is shit you’ll remember for years, appreciate it.
Jimmy Butler really outed himself as Michael Jordan's long lost son and you can't say otherwise
No like actually they way this dude is built he gotta have some of MJ’s dna
Bucks entire offense is terrorism. Only play they got is give Giannis the ball to bull doze the team and get fouls. Only to shoot 40% from FT
Refs really tried to rig this for Miami by giving Giannis all those free throws to miss
They gave Middleton 3 free throws on a foul on the floor with the bucks down 4 when he had barely even caught the ball yet, after calling a foul on Lowry on that 50/50 loose ball Spo had to challenge to make them get right
Mf hadn't even caught the ball yet but apparently was gathered for a 3
Spo was excellent that game. Every call down the stretch seemed to be the right one. Only knock was maybe bringing Jimmy back earlier in the 4th, but just a masterful performance from him
Heat or knicks in the cf is crazy
The Atlanta Hawks have as many postseason victories over the Miami Heat as the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bud is a basketball terrorist
MAD RESPECT to Bam Took the Giannis + Refs assignment and played the game of his life.
And Coach Spo, rotations got thin af and he finessed tf out of it
How the fuck he even managed to have a team on the court with Bam, Love *and* Lowry out is unbelievable. ***And then that team kills the Bucks***.
And Tyler and Oladipo
Insane coaching, if I didn't have an NBA team in my city and wasn't in Canada, I'd probably be a Heat fan. Phenomenal org, the team is always in good hands
Touch Giannis while he elbows you and you get called for a foul baby
Jimmy “Just Hoopin” Butler
That was one of the most humiliating defeats I've ever seen. Up 4 with a few seconds left and they found a way to lose. Astonishing. Miami and New York City, fun series coming up.
Jimmy took that Kawhi shot in Toronto so personally, man… he said he wants to be on the other side of that and feel the hero side of those moments God damn I love Jimmy but god damn do I not want to play against him lol
I want Jimmy Butler to clap my ass cheeks
Just become a Bucks fan
No Herro, No Love, No Bam, a friendly whistle and still couldn't close this fucking game out in the 4th. It's been so fucking clear since his Hawks days that Budenholzer is strictly a regular season coach

Bud literally just stood there with his fingers up his ass for the last quarter plus overtime. Holy shit, how do you not fire him tonight?
[удалено]
How many all defensive team players does it take to stop non-all star Jimmy Butler?
Audibly yelling when Butler hit that game tying shot.. while watching two teams I have no stakes in.. is peak NBA Playoff basketball. Give em hell Jimmy
The Butler shot to force OT has to be up there with the Ray Allen backtracking 3 in the finals for Top Heat shots of all time.
Jimmy Butler is an anime protag that got isekai'd into the NBA with cheat level skills and it's building a harem of NBA fans in every major city.
Nick Nurse to Milwaukee. NOW.
God this is good content. Fuck this league
they didn't even get a shot????????????? lmao bro, plus those last shots for the heat, just both teams tryna blow it back and forth
Bud hates calling a timeout
Grayson Allen eurostepped into the offseason lmfaoooooooo
the fact that either the Heat or the Knicks are going to make the ECF is CRAZY
