A very bad, bad, very bad 14 seconds

It sucks. I really thought we had it after Horford put back the dunk to make it 105-99.

A lot of things went bad but also the Bucks just seemed to hit so many timely 3s in the 2nd half. Hell, even Giannis hit a couple of huge ones which was annoying.

But the C's seemed to be playing late to run out the clock and that was the mistake.

I still for the life of be cannot figure out how any of them thought it was a good idea to milk the clock to the last second and then take a bad shot that could lead to MKE getting out in transition. We literally played into their strengths.

Yeah, Tatum was wide open on the final play, too.  The one where Marcus lost the ball bringing it up.

Ohh! I went back and looked again. Tatum had no one near him! Tougher, but totally makeable pass. Tatum would have had the most room to shoot. Matthews had tripped and fell. There was no one close. I should add one more "bad".

Yeah, for those that missed it:

it helps ease the pain by telling myself Tatum would have probably missed it anyway seeing how poorly he shot all game.

They have a tendency to do that, and it's annoying/infuriating. Just keep playing the way that got you to that point. It's not like a 6-point lead with 2 minutes left is insurmountable, so they need to keep their foot on the gas.

Yeah, I don’t even really care about the last possession. It would have been amazing to hit a 3 and send it to OT, but in my mind, the game was already over when Jrue hit the FTs and we didn’t have a TO to advance the ball.

Two 3's in less than 48 seconds and that 6-point lead is gone. Need to also account for silly passes that results in turnovers or offensive rebounds. Gotta build that lead.

Feels like any time the opponent is about to launch that three, that 3 is for sure going in whether it's well contested or wide open. More often than when you got shooters like JT, JB, MS (horrid) on your team.

The real reason why we lost  This hand cost us Game 5!
