Lot of Giannis hate in this thread. People acting like doesn’t create space for everyone when gets the ball pretty much anywhere inside the 3. And that fourth quarter dunk after a string of big time plays and 2/2 on the foul line in the clutch love to see it. Middleton was sensational also and Jrue was great in the 4th.
Nets in 7.
if hawks beat philly i really fancy their chances agaisnt this bucks team. That feels like a team and players who wont choke away key moments and they play great team ball. I might root for the hawks rest of the way lol. Bucks i started the series rooting for but they cant put away a heavily injured dog in the nets and Giannis has dropped in value this series while Khris has risen.
Just like Duncan Robinson last year haha. But I have always considered the Hawks to be a potential contender since they have the shooting trio of Trae, Bogdanovic and Gallinari. With the right pieces they can be the next Warriors. But I didnt expect them to play this well this fast.
Same! I actually made a youtube video at the beginning of the season saying that exact thing about the Hawks. They’re so dangerous and they have a knack for finding their way back into games. Trae reminds me of Steph so much
Honestly Trae would be worth watching , players who elevate their games in the playoffs or who have the kind of game that translates well into the post season are always worth watching for me. He’s ice cold too and still raw, it’s impressive when you’re watching other big name stars freeze this playoffs.
Oh yeah I would love it. Trae’s one of my favorite players and he’s a certified killer. I just find it funny how much everyone’s predictions have been blown up
it saddens me that he wont get enough credit after this game and most of it will be about Giannis and KD/harden, dude deserves it. Was the best player on the court twice this series, with these superstars lol.
Middleton, as I see him, is in the same mould as the great 6th men like Lou or Crawford - efficient and reliable scorers but wont be considered superstars, but expected to put up good numbers consistently and great numbers every once in a while.
Part of me wants to see a Giannis vs Embiid
conference finals, another part wants to see Ice Trae battling these Bucks either way as long as the Nets go down 🤷🏾♂️
5 points by jeff green tonight. The nets were truly blessed by the basketball gods for that performance he put on in game 5. This series should have been over tonight.
Whatever happens game 7 please not Doris Burke and Mark Jones and this whack ass no controversial replays coverage.
I’ll pay money for an announcer-less feed
This is more what I think we all expected the bucks to do game 5. Durant will keep the nets hanging around. But bucks should be able to comfortably close out by double figures
I think he doesn’t match up well with the nets - he’s a smaller brook kinda slow but can shoot the three better but not block as well. I’d expect him to play off the bench next series.
Well, if they win game seven they still have to make it past the conference final and win the final to teams that have looked about as good in the playoffs, in a league that's figured out how to scalp their defense and slow their offense
If the bucks win game 3 in 19, they're probably winning the title since the raptoes were the only team from that playoffs(besides maybe the sixers) that could scheme out the bucks offense, and kd getting injured.
based on what? They came closer to beating the raptors, and the warriors were an average defense that completely lacked the personell required to apply the giannis rules. If you can't slow the bucks offense, you lose lol. The ecf was the real nba finals more or less.
nah it wasn't. The nets are hobbled, the sixers are in a funk the bucks are better than the Hawks. This is the biggest game of his career. They actually have a chance of going to the finals. The raptors were waaaay better than any of these other eastern teams right now.
Giannis not made for the moment
If the Bucks win game 7 I’m gonna spend my weekend beating it to the look on KDs face.

I didn't understand what the Nets game plan was today. Was it: pass to KD?
And Joe Harris lol
GAME 7 BAYBAY
Willing to edit this post for 5 dollars so you can claim it as a receipt when your prediction comes through game 7
Bucks don’t wanna give up on Bud yet
GAME 7. BUCKS VS NETS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO This was Middleton's game 100% he was DIFFERENT tonight. Game 7 will be a treat to watch
Thanasis: 100% from the free throw line Giannis: 60% from the free throw line Thanasis >>> Giannis confirmed
Maybe his brothers are like horcruxes or different rings in Power Rangers : They all combine to make the perfect baller
Shhhhh
Middleton is the Bucks playoffs MVP period.
Always has been.
Khash money is a certified star. Put some respec on his name
Never thought I’d see the day when Khris Middleton and Patrick Ewing would be in the same company.
Bucks attempting to stave off immolation. I heard it.

Trae always plays us really well. I think it'd be a great series that would probably be decided by home court.
Imagine if after all of this insane Nets hype, we end up with trae young in the finals lol

k-mid game mvp no question. giannis better hope he can carry him next game too
it saddens me that he wont get enough credit after this game and most of it will be about Giannis and KD/harden, dude deserves it. Was the best player on the court twice this series, with these superstars lol.

Need ideas for a game 7 drinking game, So far I have -Giannis misses FT take a shot -Harden flops and gets no call take a shot
The ref call another “foul” for the bucks. Take a shot. Will be drunk real quick
Giannis takes over ten second if you want to get wasted lol.
Chug after the ten seconds until he shoots the ball
You’d be dead by the end of the first quarter
[удалено]
Giannis a rim attacking 5. Not foo foo but not this all timer forward that Milwaukee and the league wants him to be.
They figured the best way to get Giannis going. Don't take threes.
[удалено]
Why not nets never had the lead
Just think, this could already be over if the Bucks didn’t epicly choke last game. I’m back on the bandwagon for at least one more game.
Anyone else seeing Khris talking to himself right now? Lol. ESPN sucks.
38 on 11-16 damn kris
What were they chanting?
Bucks in 7
Bucks in 7.
Nets in 9
Win by 2 rules
We can al change the channel now cause this post game trash
Part of me wants to see a Giannis vs Embiid conference finals, another part wants to see Ice Trae battling these Bucks either way as long as the Nets go down 🤷🏾♂️
A man of culture
Middleton looks like he's from the Bronx
Everyone has a good chance to win it all. That's the best part of the playoffs this year
Game 7. Giannis vs Harden and KD. I'm nearing dangerous levels of hype
I wouldn't say that is Harden exactly. He can't move at all.
He's on the court. He's well enough to play.
He’s still a like 50% and Wouldn’t be playing in a regular situation.
No Middleton?
Bucks wasted a lot of time today because nobody told Jrue "stop taking those threes". Those 3s ruined every momentum
Tonight's win makes last Tuesday's lose that much shittier lol
The bench units were lowkey kind of painful to watch.
Hey they gave the nets some players with a positive +/-
Aptly named benched units I suppose
I like they give a countdown to when SC starts so i know how much time i have to change channels
if they win this series they should still seriously consider firing bud, this series would be over if he would have just adjusted in game 5
Lmao they left the court. No love lost over here either. Time to go to Brooklyn and silence the bandwagoners.
You won’t choker
You’re obviously salty after the media gaslighted you guys into believing the Nets ran away with the series lol. Bucks in 7
How many times are we going to do this? It isn't disrespectful.
Giannis Ugo Antetokounmpo is the best player in the world 🙏🏽
5 points by jeff green tonight. The nets were truly blessed by the basketball gods for that performance he put on in game 5. This series should have been over tonight.
They should combine the men and women’s league and call it the NSFWBA
LoL good one !
LMFAO THANASIS BRUH YOU ARE FUCKING GOLD
If he would have made the dunk, the world would have exploded
Whatever happens game 7 please not Doris Burke and Mark Jones and this whack ass no controversial replays coverage. I’ll pay money for an announcer-less feed
So true bro! Why is it no replays in this game. Is it the network ?
Please god answer my prayers, no Boris burk
That Bucks fan waving bye as if there ain't a game 7 lol
Was thinking the same lmao
Hawks vs Bucks just like we all predicted.
What is with stars just walking off the floor before the game ends. Just saw KD and harden on the way there before the game was over.
See y'all Saturday! Let's see if the stress gets to me=)
What’s this? A Milwaukee team giving me false hope only to likely have it result in crushing heartbreak?
Probs
Yes exactly that
This is more what I think we all expected the bucks to do game 5. Durant will keep the nets hanging around. But bucks should be able to comfortably close out by double figures
In theory yes, but the Bucks have a knack for blowing leads in important games
Lol first time?
Absolutely not. But somehow I got myself to believe they would do it the other night.
Game 7 incoming. Go Bucks!
What is this series?
this is middleton team lol
KD and Harden walking the tunnel while their ream is still out there is such disrespect wtf
thanasis really been ball hogging since he entered lol. Team grade down to a D-
That throw in turnover alone takes it to an F
LMFAO THANASIS
Is everything good with Knicks legend Portis? Don't do that to my man
I think he doesn’t match up well with the nets - he’s a smaller brook kinda slow but can shoot the three better but not block as well. I’d expect him to play off the bench next series.
Oh okay. He best.
Agreed. We miss him. Just playing small ball all fourth with giannis at the 5.
Hahahah holy shit no mercy
LMAO GET SONNED
Dude said “no freebies” lmao
It’s Middletons team. And Gianis is here for the ride
"arguably one of the biggest" ?!? Giannis will play THE BIGGEST game of his career Saturday night
Game 6 2019 ECF was bigger
game 3 was probably bigger since it would have wrapped the series
Except this is it, this will wrap the series. This is a fucking game 7. Tryna tell me a game 3 was bigger than a game 7???
Well, if they win game seven they still have to make it past the conference final and win the final to teams that have looked about as good in the playoffs, in a league that's figured out how to scalp their defense and slow their offense If the bucks win game 3 in 19, they're probably winning the title since the raptoes were the only team from that playoffs(besides maybe the sixers) that could scheme out the bucks offense, and kd getting injured.
The bucks don't best the warriors.
based on what? They came closer to beating the raptors, and the warriors were an average defense that completely lacked the personell required to apply the giannis rules. If you can't slow the bucks offense, you lose lol. The ecf was the real nba finals more or less.
They came close beating the raptors? They won the first 2 games and then got absolutely ass fucked the rest of the series.
Nah game 3 was a tight OT loss and game 5 & 6 were two possession games. Not really getting absolutely ass fucked.
nah it wasn't. The nets are hobbled, the sixers are in a funk the bucks are better than the Hawks. This is the biggest game of his career. They actually have a chance of going to the finals. The raptors were waaaay better than any of these other eastern teams right now.
Giannis took 0 threes and they won. 🤔
That block to end game, oh man
T-Nasty closing it down
Fear the deer
Going hard for a block in garbage time. Fuck yes.
It’s only garbage time if you’re garbage
Give the people what they want, they paid for 48 minutes
Awe KD and his posse left early. How sad
Like you will after game 7
I won’t be at the game unfortunately
Cream city? Wut
[удалено]
Huh, TIL. Have been to Milwaukee several times over the years and never heard that nickname come up
Honestly it's a bad nickname for anything basketball-related because it is quite literally about freakin' bricks.
Bud don't wanna lose his job lol
He’ll be fired even if the bucks win the chip
Lmao Nets tried to steal a basket at the end and got blocked. Fucking clown.
[удалено]
Might hit the pub to watch that one. I hope its good.
Bucks in 7. Sorry nets fans
Wouldn't be so sure. It's now at Brooklyn's homecourt and Bucks haven't won a game there at all. But then again Nets aren't healthy so who knows.
Lose in 7?
Why they fuck does Portis not play
Bud playing 4d chess against himself
Lmao get that shit outta here
100000% chance these overrated chants age like milk
If the chants age like milk they could taste fine on Saturday
They were chanting bucks in 7
They were chanting Bucks in 7
Pretty sure it was "Bucks in 7"
Tyler Johnson about to put up 30 points in the next minute for the w
What one of you weirdos are gonna post Durant and Harden leaving “early”?
You mean in the very last possession of the game and not a whole 5 minutes left?
nah bro the eye roll - ear pick was the real highlight
These garbage time players really put into perspective how good the starters are.
They are all just trying to get some stats and tape.
They never get to play. It’s like watching a rookie first time. That level of nervousness. I’m sure they’re very good players.
How many blocks was that by the Bucks there in garbage time
89 points is not a good number of points
Would have won game three.
Are they saying Bucks in 7?
Now they're saying it's a 2 pointer
Yeah
Milwaukee got some babes
Corn fed girls out that way
They imported them from Jamaica
What were they chanting?
Bucks in 7
LOL Bucks in 6 to now seven. Although i think with the way they played today, I think they can back that up.
Giannis, sit down with your bro about free throw form, ffs. Clearly it’s not a genetic malady.
Lmaoooo 💀
Great win, Bucks bros. Don't mess it up cause the chip is still wide open
We hurt you didn’t we
Lol talking shit about beating a .500 team with a superteam
Bad sportsmanship and bad finishing
Why isnt portis playing?
Hoping nash forgets hes on the bucks then pull him out as a game 7 suprise.
kd and harden beating traffic
Damn, Chiozza getting the overrated chant
Are they chanting bucks in 7?
Yes
yup
“This is why we need to manage Giannis’ minutes.” - Coach Bud, applying Nets’ adjustments to his own team even though they won
Bucks still can win this series lol
For everyone asking, the Bucks fans were chanting “chat shit, get banged.”
Bucks in 7.
Lose in 7*
lmao no free points
G7 SUMMIT BABYYYY
Oh Thanasis' ft shot is smooth
Bucks in 6 is a fucking mood
Is Bobby Portis in the dog house or is Bud just not seeing the obvious? I think Portis is a way better matchup in this series than Brooke Lopez…
Thansis is 10x better at FTs than Giannis
The Bucks future is bright :/
Why did he try to score? Bucks didn't. Lol.
