Also shoutout to Bud. Had a timeout after that Jimmy alley in regulation. Had I think 2 timeouts in OT when the Bucks were going for the final shot. Might be looking for a new job soon.
Bud’s inability to call a timeout with 0.5 seconds left to advance the ball in regulation may be the single biggest coaching blunder I’ve ever seen. To have both timeouts remaining at the end of OT was equally inexcusable when the final play broke down. He should be fired.
I know the games been over for a few hours but can someone please check if Allen is still eurostepping?
Sheesh. That one cm of Kevin Durant's shoe literally altered the course of history for Giannis' reputation. Durant hits that three, Giannis is known as one of the biggest chokers in NBA history. Those repeated series as favourites, multiple games ahead, only to lose. Now the #1 seed losing in FIVE games to a team missing their second best player. Goodness gracious. And there's people on Clutchfans who'd say with a straight face Giannis is better than Harden... all because he lucked into a ring. That run of teams looks like it is the polar opposite of the run the second title team Rockets ran. LOVE Giannis throwing his coaching staff under the bus saying he wished he defended Butler more. You're the entire franchise big guy, all you needed to do was say it and it would've happened. The reality is he wanted to defend Jimmy just as much as he wanted the ball in his hands down the stretch. I didn't realise Ben Simmons played for the Bucks. Also - HOW MANY MISSED FREE THROWS?!
this is the best thing about Jimmy: he just freaking hoops. he knows the deal. NBA will try to cheat, you have to rise above and hoop. This is why i get PTSD about that GSW series. Rockets were up double digits and they freaking whining about calls and not hooping. We knew the deal. you gotta put em in the dirt.
Initially I thought Dame would be a perfect fit too and came to the same conclusion. They don't have anything the Blazers want. They could maybe gut their team for picks to get a deal done but then they'd be just Giannis and Dame. I think the best they could do would be Middleton for Beal. They get a bucket getter for late game situations. But they trade off defense and have to pay Beal like he's a superstar. The Wizards get out from under that contract and get to start over. They could also do a Jrue for Kawhi or PG swap and just hope they're healthy by 2024 playoffs to make plays down the stretch.
Someone on here said watch Giannis get no hate after this loss and that’s exactly what is happening after the press conference lolll. unbelievable!!!
i bet it wouldn't take too long, FO of either LAL or GSW (whatever a big market team) will reach out to Greek Freak for joining in by having this league's permission, as long as it appears to all that a stardom (Curry / Bron) starts pasting his prime.
his contract ends right around that time every big market will be in need. He’s mentioned he loves curry and klay before. Lakers market would be huge for him. Giannis winning 1 ring and leaving won’t piss fans off there. Bucks won’t win another ring for 40 years.
Giannis has a ring. Yeah, some luck, but he has a ring at the end of the day. I wish we would of had some luck lol. Congrats to the Heat. I wish I would of watched this game but it was in NBATV so couldn't watch. Jimmy is an awesome player, it was to bad he ghosted us when he was a free agent, would have been great to pair him with Harden and CP3. Oh well.
Imagine if harden caused a turnover in the final moments because he was scared to shoot free throws. And then in the post game presser, talk about there are no failures here lol it would be front page espn and immediately memed
Bucks' first plan of action is to fire Budenholzer and get Nick Nurse installed as coach. Also gotta find a way to sign Brook Lopez and get more shooters around Giannis. Middleton has a player option in which he'll most likely accept. Yeah, the Bucks lost 4-1, but they were without Giannis for essentially games 1, 2 and 3.
Mike was so close to getting fired last time and then he won a championship. I guess they can finally get rid of him.
