I'm gonna go ahead and say Jrue Holiday instead of Bledsoe raining bricks may have been a bigger difference, although Forbes was huge obviously.

That and the biggest difference was the Heat offense not the Bucks offense. MIA shot 55% eFG% last year and 46% this year. Huuuuge difference. Bucks put the clamps on Butler all series (he hit the big shot in game 1, but had been bad before that, too). He almost shot twice as well last year as he did this year, 39% vs. 68% TS%. Herro was bad. Only Duncan was good this year (on offense).

MIL went from 50 to 54% and most of that was replacing Bledsoe shooting 33% on 50 (10 a game) FGs. Sub replacement level. Lopez actually had a good series last year, too. Would Bledsoe have shot better with a different Bucks offense? Maybe, but he's just bad, man. He forgets how to shoot in the playoffs, both 3s and in the paint. Holiday didn't shoot it great from 3, but at least he got out in transition and finished in the paint and was a big reason their D was improved.
