Heat barely grasping to their lead in the 3rd. I think MIL is gonna steal this one and the series.

The Bucks just have too many weapons!
That is why they will win the title this year even with losing DiVincenzo.

Bucks lose DiVincenzo from the starting lineup, insert Connaughton and they don’t miss a beat. He’s not shooting the ball well, but he’s playing good D and grabbing boards. One of the best benches in the NBA.

Side note, Connaughton is from Arlington, MA. Didn’t realize that until recently.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Like Tyler Herro is a good player and I wish we drafted him. But notice how you never hear about him nowadays (even during the season, before the Bucks series).

Herro has had a bad season. All season long. He has taken a step back. Rumours of Miami being unhappy with him. With a lack of professionalism / lack of dedication. An overindulgence in personal life while wasting his basketball opportunities.

Shame to see. The guy has talent. But if he doesn't do the work ... it don't matter, he won't make it.

I've heard Tatum threw Herro some shade, calling him a: "Bubble fraud". Looks like this series is proving him right. ;D

Tatum never said that and never directed anything at Herro.

He said some guys were "acting different in the bubble" and never named names.

They also have Forbes who is shooting lights out!

Well I didn't see that coming.  I thought Milwaukee was the better team and would win the series, but I thought Miami would fight them.

Instead it was a murder.  Four games and done, and only one of them was competitive.

Was about to edit that until I saw your post. But yeah a few folks online guessed it was Herro, moot point now that the Heat have been swept.

How about Giannis picking up a triple double by scoring points.  I can't imagine that happens all that frequently that points is the last of the 3 categories.

The 15 assists is the most impressive part. That was really a huge difference from last year. The Bucks have looked like the best team in the postseason so far. They are really clicking.

Looks like Milwaukee will be well-rested and will get to game-plan against Brooklyn. Will be interesting to see how their 1 superstar will stop all 3 of them plus the refs.

Who guards Middleton for Brooklyn ( If they make it...) and who guards Brook Lopez?
