you should be able to put any rando assortment of modern nba guys around giannis and just destroy everyone! except the only thing giannis can't do is "fourth quarter stuff"

lol

weird to see every identifiable weakness of the bucks come to bear at the same time

the bubble shows you who you are

has a coach ever been fired after a season where his team had the league’s best record?

not saying this should or will happen, but they’re being undressed

couple years back casey got fired from toronto like a week after winning coach of the year xp

and it turned out to be the right call haha

it probably should happen, this is a massive underperformance

lakers had the 2nd best record the year before magic murked paul westhead

last few minutes of that game were dark

poor vibes lol

giannis played 35 minutes. lopez played 38

bud has to go i guess

coach buddy rip

end of that game was pretty brutal to watch. i don't really care about the bucks, but i at least wanted them to keep things interesting.

That Middleton missed 3 to put Milwaukee up 3-0 in Toronto is gonna haunt me the rest of my life I guess

has someone considered writing "playoff adjustments" on a piece of paper and slipping it to coach bud

In retrospect Middleton probably shouldn’t have gone 2 months without touching a basketball

i feel like he tried something different and should be appreciated for it

may i make an observation jae crowder got better at shooting

lol what the fuck happened in that fourth quarter

ah well nevertheless

Mike Budenholzer just said the Bucks had won six quarters in a row entering the fourth quarter tonight. That may be so, but they lost the other two quarters in Games 2 and 3 by a combined 36 points.

winning quarters is second only to winning games!

gotta love it baby

Budenholzer says Giannis/Middleton playign 35-36 minutes is “pushing the ceiling”…wow

omg that we won more quarters stuff is the most losery not my fault bullshit

If Iguodala goes 2 for 2 on threes you win. Rulez.

hot take: pop’s former assistants are his failsons (bud, brett brown, mike brown, jacque vaughn, boylen)

it's uncanny how similar it is to all the belichick assistants that have flamed out

i knew harden would have a good playoff game eventually if we gave him enough tries

Worst 4th Quarter Points Differentials In Playoff History:

2020 Bucks vs. Heat ...... -27
1986 Spurs vs. Lakers ... -26
2015 Clips vs. Rockets ... -25
2003 Mavs vs. Spurs ..... -25
2002 Nets vs. Celtics ... -25

he said worst but he meant biggest

that stat is completely shocking

Wow lebron!

that was fucking crazy

lebron james

the extra craziest thing about the bucks stuff is that the heat have been playing giannis this way for like 3 years and have frequently frustrated him. it's just a huge contrast watching the heat squeeze offense out of creativity and scouting while the bucks are playing as if they have never heard of the concept of preparation.

couple years back casey got fired from toronto like a week after winning coach of the year xp

This also happened to George Karl with the Nuggets in 2013. They won 57 games but were just 3rd in the west.

between the heat, celtics, and raptors the remaining east teams are probably some of the best coaching/preparation teams ever given that coaching/preparation has gotten better over time.

subtle but nice

lol russ needs to learn how to do that

what was bron thinkin about here

Hakeem must be so pissed right now pic.twitter.com/N5z84T5dE9

— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) September 5, 2020

i get why harden drives everyone nuts but that subtle hesitation on the break is something that no one else even thinks to do

he is a scientist of the basketball arts

Might be Kuzma's worst game in the bubble: -21 in 21 minutes, four fouls, has had a tough time containing the Rockets guards in space, done little offensively.

oof

kuz is not good
