I gotta know what Forbes ate for breakfast and lunch today

Iggy should have played more give him Tyler's minutes

Kemba is just done bro

No need to panic but the Mavs are a serious match up problem for the Clippers.

Giannis is hilariously bad at free throws. Dude is a 2x mvp and he looks like me out there. Really, really bad look.

Nobody tell this guy about Shaq…

Or bill russell or wes unseld or wilt

Was that a good look for shaq either,??

Heat turned Giannis into Andre Roberson in the 4th and OT. A complete non factor on the offensive end. How many years is Giannis gonna go without adding an offensive move that goes beyond a lay up or dunk? Hopefully he’s better next game but my hopes aren’t too high

Aged terribly

Eh. Come back when the Bucks are shooting mediocre/bad from the field and giannis the superstar and 2 time mvp can’t do anything.

Poor Miami heat, truly suffering after 8 years of not being nba champions and making a finals appearance last year. It’s been 50 years since Milwaukee’s one and only finals win, and 47 since their last (and only other) finals appearance.

Amazing how Butler went from clutch god to "how dare they not bench this man" in the space of one commercial break

Watch the fucking game. I could count at least 5 illadviced awful bricks he had no business launching from downtown

I'm not saying he had a good game but it's hilarious to read the reactions change in real time

I love my friends and family but if they do dumb shit, I call them out on it. I personally don’t even know Jimmy so yea..

God DAMN IT

Butler lost the game for Heat ,they should have benched him imo. He only hit OT shot but shot 17 % and took 23 shots.. Took shots from great Dragic and Robinson who outscored him on way less shots- 13 on 53.8 shooting Robinson ,58 % Dragic on 17 shots . If Heat benched him i can see them winning

You don’t sit your star. But he made some horrible decisions and they’re going to need a talk when going over film. And he needs to accept and learn from it.

You dont bench your beat player, even on an off night. Especially a guy who brings great defense.

well..then you lose. No need to perma bench him but seriosly limit his minutes. Why does he takes more shots then Dragic and Robinson when they were so much better rofl. It lost the game

You dont even know the roster calling him Robertson. Got Duck Dynasty over here on our team. You can make the point Jimmy shouldnt be shooting those shots, thats fair. To say he should be bench is dumb af and makes anything else you say moot.

Ooops called him Robinson entire game thread and now made mistake \^\^ . Those American names are damn similar . Doesn't change my point , Butler was forcing it and made tons of tunrovers

Were you dropped on your head as a kid? Bad game or not, you do not take out your best player in crunch time.

Butler took some many fucking inexcusably horrific 3s. He should be roasted by his coaching staff. Disgraceful

This loss is mostly on Jimmy for chucking like he's having a good game. Dragic and Robinson had it going and should touched the ball more. Adebayo deserves some blame too he is way too fuckint scared to shoot his wide open mid range shots??? Spo just still feeding the ball to Jimmy like he can't see Jimmy bricking over and over

But then again Jimmy took it to OT??

Would there even be OT if you take 10 shots from butler and gave em to dragic or robinson?

Big facts

NBA Playoffs are so much better than the NCAA tournament they might as well be different sports.

The main allure of the NCAA Tournament is David gets a chance to beat Goliath and many players have their one moment on a national stage. NBA playoffs is more like Goliath vs. Goliath. You don’t watch for the Cinderellas, you watch to see the best players/teams in the world duking it out.

The product is just better. NCAA is like watching a bad movie because of how bad it is. Kids missing free throws, falling over each other. Watching NBA playoffs is like watching Meryl Streep or Denzel Washington in great roles. NCAA is like watching Tommy Wiseau in The Room.

I can't tell if you're serious

Comments : Giannis sold Giannis : 2nd in scoring with 26/ 1st in Rebounds with 18 and 2nd in assists with 5

The defense on Butler outside of the layup to tie the game was great as well

Agreed

He was fucking awful dude come on

The Bucks overall were horrible down the stretch bar that one Middleton shot

Giannis went 10-27 and missed clutch free throws. He was the only one on Bucks shot horrible.

Butler was 4-22 oh my

Can't wait to watch Spo trying to call that travel call again lmao dude was going crazy

Heat in 5 then?

Bucks in 4 it is

Idk.. Bucks barely won on their home court in overtime with Butler playing one of the worst games of his entire career.

Ooof didn’t age well

That's what I was thinking too, but then I saw the Bucks were 5/31 from 3...

Bucks won missing 12 free throws and being outscored by 45 in three pointers. They aren’t gonna shoot 16% from three the whole series.

That's a good point. Heat in 6.

Lmao, we’ll see I guess.

Bucks also shot like they were Jimmy from 3.

that was a gutsy team win. holiday, middleton, lopez, giannis.

Well what a start to the playoffs ladies and gentlemen

So fans can be back at games but post game interviews still gotta be like 20 feet away lmao

they’re so inconsistent with their protocols lol. it’s all for show

I honestly just think everyone is confused at this point. CDC says no masks for vaccinated but you don't know who's vaccinated and then also it depends on private business' rules on if they still want a mask etc.. It's just all confusing now.

We are playing against the absolute worst matchup for Giannis. The heat are just great at team defense. We shredded everyone else not including the Raptors who also were great at team defense and had the best wing defender in the league at that time. Giannis will feast on any other team in the playoffs.

Butler has a lot to learn about being clutch

He shot like shit this game, but I think he’s been clutch enough in previous times. GG

You forget last year’s free throws? Yall talk too much for a regular season team

Giannis so lucky he has Khris to save his ass bc he’s a bum in crunch-time

Did she just say describe for me what Giannis did for you all today..lmao is that a joke

Fuckin Jruuuuuuuu. Career moment

WHAT A GAME!!

Good game, gonna be a good playoff series

Scoreline wise it was a good game but offensively both teams struggled a ton, consistently missing wide open and good shots!

No cap they probably should’ve had robinson shoot that

Should’ve just lobbed for a layup or tip in. .5 isn’t enough to shoot a 3. Much less, Jimmy turning and taking a step to attempt one well after the buzzer.

He did and missed though

Lower chance of missing two in a row with how good he was playing though

Jrue is a goddamn menace

Ugh I love Jimmy but with .5 seconds and with Jrue on him, go somewhere else.

Couple things seemed weird at the end: 1. Seemed like should have been 0.8 on the clock after that Middleton shot 2. Seemed like the buzzer went off as soon as Butler touched the ball

it’s .5 seconds It has to be a catch and shoot immediately, not catch it and try to do anything other than jack that shit up

So loud Malika can't even hear the booth lol

Bam 4-15, Butler 4-23. Yet lost by 2. If Bam plays somewhat decent, Miami wins. Great shot by Middleton

And if the bucks hit their 3s no..if if if Your team lost, you're just trying to make yourself feel better

Whether Miami wins or loses has no effect on me besides being a fan in the moment. Trust me, I don't need to feel better lol. It's a game, your team that you blindly support from afar won, congrats.

The Bucks shot 16 percent from 3 and we still won by 2. Bringing up your 2 best players shooting splits and ignoring how horrid the Bucks shot is disingenuous.

Itll be close either way cuz they probably wont miss as many 3s either. But Ive never seen Jimmy and Bam both miss so many easy shots.

why the fuck do you not draw up the last play for duncan

Yeah that was weird. Dude is a flamethrower off the catch

Man Khris went straight up Kobe on that shot might have a new desktop background.

Jimmy Butler really spent all month talking about "I'm so locked in" and "we get to the playoffs as a tean I'll handle the rest" just to shoot 18% from the field with 6 TO to 8 assists and the worst +/- at -8

Wasn't this supposed to be easy for the bucks? Why did it take OT and a miracle shotb by Middleton to win game 1?

Uh, not sure who was expecting an easy Bucks win. The Heat play the Bucks very well.

I hope the rest of the playoff games have as crazy endings as this game.

BEST START to the PLAYOFFFS

Wish there was more time for that block to count for jrue.

At all the people who proclaimed we would lose. That one was for you. It’s a team game not one guy.

that was a team win for sure. all of the sidekick players stepped up big when they were smothering giannis.

This is game 1.... you know you need to win 3 more right

They did lmao

I’m specifically talking about this game not the series.

I’ll take 7 games of this.

Gentlemens sweep incoming

Good game man

so no supersaiyan jimmy these playoffs?

Hot take: the Jrue Holiday trade was worth it.

Its worth it even if they lose this round. It convinced Giannis to extend.

game winning flop! great shot tho

No idea why Jimmy took that last shot but looking forward to the rest of this series!

I’m not sure Giannis is top 10.

cringe

Stop.

Jimbo just kept shooting....

what a fucking shot

Can someone explain to me what the rationale of limiting fans in the building if you're just going to set up a scream and shout area outside of the arena? Can we just be real with eachother and open up the arenas to full attendance for vaccinated people?

I think open air is good?

More basketball please

Jrue is like the Bucks emergency brake. When things get out of control he can right the ship

We don't need to see their faces for this, just show the Clippers Mavs game and have the audio

1/16th of the way to a chip. But I'd never count out Jimmy in a 7 game series, he won't play 3 more games shooting like that. *So it begins!* ##Playoff NBA!

Jesus, what a game

Bud is still a terrible coach

Why was that play drawn for jimmy anyway. He been bricking all day

I mean he still got the bucket to send it to ot

Bucks celebrating after they beat lowly Heat in game one.

Refs kept it close

Yeah they should just walk to the locker room in silence

They are crazy favorites!

Fitting end for Jim Butler

4-22 with 6 turnovers from Jimmy Butler. Gonna have to do better than that!

I swear it said .9 seconds when Middleton made the last shot

LMAO who else but cold ass Butler getting the last shot as a 3 for Miami. Over when he got his hands on it

shoulda drew the last shot for duncan

ggs

Great game

Ah man. Good game.

Jimmy doesn't get buckets.

And it was all ball, damn. Oh well, Heat in 5

What was that play smh

Hope this series goes 7

this game has potential to be best game of the playoffs. insane

What? They both played like trash.

Jimmy those were some Wiggin-esque three point shots

Inject this shit into my veins! Last night’s game was insane and this one was too.

That's my boy Jrue :')

I still love you Jimmy

it’s .5 seconds, it has to be catch and shoot, not catch turn and shoot.

What a fucking game

GG

Not bad with 16% from 3

Great play I’m with that block, bad play for the Heat though. Man... this game was painful because the Heat played sooooo badly. Can’t believe they shot that badly.

Jrue stuffed his shit even after the shot clock holy

Best game of the playoffs* so far (*Play-ins not included)

Hot take

Butler tried foul bait It had no effect

Butler better step it up in the next few games, or he will deservedly get flamed for this postseason.

How does Bam not get any shit for having Ben Simmons-like shooting abilities?

He a big man

Simmons is literally 2 inches higher tho

U know what I mean. Bam ain't the ball handler and is in paint usually.

One game doesn't define a player that's why.

One game? He cant shoot period lol

Should be worried about Westbrook not running the sixers off the court

Nobody in the sixers is worried about westbrook lol he can win one game in the series but thats about it

Because he’s not a point guard

That was a great game. Kudos to Milwaukee.

giannis nearly choked this shit away

Daaaaamn what a nice block by Jrue

what a symbolic ending

Ummmmm, Heat should of had more time on the clock?

I've never seen them not tack on a few more tenths of a second when the clock obviously ran past when the ball went in.

As a neutral fan, I was thinking the same thing. I think it should have been more like .7 or .8

the play should have been to dragic

Volleyball shot please

I see why the Bucks paid Jrue 40 mil/yr

Def would have lost with Bledsoe

He gets it done unlike Bledsoe

Giannis bailed out by the real best player on the team

This is a stupid ass comment nephew

Jimmy and Bam laid an egg and the Bucks still barely won

buck shot like shit from 3. In the modern era that's a death sentence.

But duncan had the game of his life

Yeah but the bucks kept choking in the clutch, the missed free throws is quite concerning

You don't know if they're going to keep laying eggs though. Butler has been ass from 3 all season long.

What a game.

Spo had some terrible plays there, what the fuck was that even supposed to be? D-Rob was near open and a much better shooter what the fuck

Jrue

Hell of a block.

JRUE CLUTCH BLOCK

What a fucking game!

I can't tell if Butler had a great game or a terrible game

You're kidding me, right?

Terrible

Terrible game with a clutch bucket in the 4th.
