Some bucks fans and miami heat haters making an excuse . Because giannis was not 100 percent healthy . Heat is also shorthanded no herro who is their 2nd leading scorer and no dipo . Plus bucks have big advantage on size . Miami is so small . 7 undrafted players . Stop making excuses. Move on guysss.

If Jimmy win a championship with this team. He will be considered as one of the best Player the Heat ever had. Better than LeBron and Wade. Yeah they have better stats and play for the team. But those two won a Championship because Wade has Shaq. LeBron has Wade, and Bosh. Look at Jimmy. He only have Bam, Lowry, and Love this three player known as injury prone

I knew it when this game is going to be close the Heat will win. Clearly, Bucks are panicking when the Heat started the run again. No players from the Bucks wanted that ball they are scared and shocked.

shoutout to kevin pelton, espn sr wriiter for being one-dimensional in comparing the nba all-time upsets… W-L differentials? why not look at how the games were won? e.g. how were games 4 and 5 won? were those games easy for the heat? compare those with how the games transpired in previous nba upsets…
