OT: 2021 NBA Playoffs

[nelsonmuntz]

The Bucks would be up by over 20 if it wasn't for all the hero ball by Middleton

 

[Huskyforlife]

The Nets whine about PJ Tucker's "physicality", and he is physical, but he is also just really good defensively. Lopez, Tucker and Giannis is a tough defensive frontcourt.

He's allowed to foul Durant up and down the court because Durant is one the few dudes left that doesn't consistently exaggerate fouls. He couldn't hang with Durant without literally hanging on him.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

TNT Studio crew curb-stomping the Bucks. Bucks deserve it. Bad shots, missing good matchups, bad fouls. Harden is barely functional, and the Bucks should be killing the Nets.

compare that to what they let guys get away with guarding Shaq for two decades…

At least shaqs game was creating unstoppable contact, PJ is holding Durant standing in the corner, coming off screens, etc.

Is the argument that the NBA is in the bag for a team from Milwaukee?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Bucks didn't put them away, and now the Nets are back in the game.

Is the argument that the NBA is in the bag for a team from Milwaukee?

No, it's that the refs expect him to flail every time he's breathed on, like other superstars. Lebron would have Tucker fouled out by halftime.

I don't understand how Bobby Portis fell out of the Bucks rotation

I don't understand how Bobby Portis fell out of the Bucks rotation

Especially when they are leaving Lopez isolated on Durant.

Budenholzer is just choking again.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I am actually starting to feel bad for Budenholzer. He is getting owned in the playoffs by a rookie Head Coach.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Durant is playing out of his mind.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Bucks are in full meltdown.

 

[polycom]

Nba players lack the fundamentals of college players

 

[nelsonmuntz]

These are the most important 3 minutes in the last 47 years of Milwaukee basketball.

 

[lavuuk153]

Nba players lack the fundamentals of college players

In what way?

 

[lavuuk153]

I’m a Suns fan...I’m rooting for Milwaukee cause I don’t know who can really stop Durant. Then if harden and Kyrie are healthy it becomes even more daunting. Plus Giannis stinks from the line.

 

[polycom]

In what way?

Every shot is a bad shot they don’t have don’t find the open man

 

[aceboon]

Middleton probably should have just shot the ball after he got by Middelton but good grief, Giannis gotta catch that dump off pass

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Bucks have some tough decisions to make in the off-season. This team has maxed out in the second round, and there doesn’t appear to be a next level for them. They are just not winners.

they are a small market team and can’t justify a luxury tax for second round exits.

 

[superjohn]

That's one of the greatest performances you will ever see in sports. Durant played every single minute and singlehandedly beat the Bucks.

Legendary performance but Jeff Green hit 8 3s tonight, he played a big part

People underestimated Greens absence, he's our best 3nD player. Even if most nights he's not hitting 5+ 3s.

He did, Green kept them in striking distance in the first half but Durant did it all. Played every second of the game, made every shot, had to play a lot of point because Harden was basically the Bucks 6th man tonight. Legendary stuff, it all somehow feels even more impressive coming off the ruptured Achilles.

Samson Johnson refuses to ever give teammates credit for anything. You must have been a pleasure to play hoops with.
