Milwaukee Bucks didn’t call their last timeout with .5 seconds left in regulation after Jimmy Butler scored tying basket.
With 10 seconds left in overtime didn’t use one of their timeouts to draw up a play.
They dribble the ball full court Giannis & Khris Middletown could have taken the shot to tie the game & force 2nd overtime.
Put the ball in Grayson Allen hands don’t get off final shot at buzzer.
Miami Heat become sixth eight seed to beat one seed in postseason.

Joining Denver, Memphis, New York, Golden State, Philadelphia.

Budenholzer is a terrible coach…
– Burning his challenge 3 minutes into the game.
– Subbing out Lopez and having Giannis guard the inbounder so there’s no big to guard the rim.
– Not calling timeout with 0.5 seconds left in regulation.
– Not calling timeout down 2 with 6 seconds left in OT.

A few fun facts

1- The Heat are now the 6th number 8 seed in NBA HISTORY to knock off a # 1 seed in the first round.

2- The Heat are the first play-in team to ever win a playoff series.

3- In 1999 the # 1 seed Heat were defeated by the # 8 Knicks. They are the first team to ever be on both ends of a number 8 defeating a # 1.

4- Jimmy Butler scored 56 points in Game 4- the most ever by a Heat player in a playoff game.

5- The Heat have allowed the least wins by a # 1 seed in the first round (when facing a # 8 seed) out of all the 8 seed teams to win.

‘94 Nuggets defeat Sonic 3-2
‘99 Knicks defeat Heat 3-2
‘07 Warriors defeat Mavs 4-2
‘11 Grizzlies defeat Spurs 4-2
‘12 76ers defeat Bulls 4-2
‘23 Heat defeat Bucks 4-1.

if I’m not mistaken heat was intentionally missing the shot in the paint when they are doubled, they used to practice that a lot I guess with Bam, because that clean up shot by Bam is a set-up pass.

When the Big 3 of the
Nets combined for 104 points in
game 4 vs. Celtics (KD 42, Kai 39,
Harden 23) to later beat them in
5 games and go to the conference
semifinals vs. Bucks.
Game 1: Harden did not get to
play or play for at least 1 minute
(43 seconds) but Kyrie, Durant and
Griffin were able to easily win 115
to 107.

Bucks 86. 39 POINT DIFFERENCE
Game 3: The Bucks started
stealing in a way never seen
before, Buck$/Ref$ 86 Nets 83
Game 4: GIANNIS INJURES
KYRIE.

minutes) 49-point triple-double
KD and Jeff Green (27) vs. the
world. Nets 114 Buck$ 108
Game 6: The Buck$ steal even
more than ever.
Game 7: KD and Harden 53 minutes each, Khris Middleton
and Jrue Holiday rushing the
Bucks with the last 5 minutes
with a missing Giannis. KD vs the
world with 48 points and stepping
on the line 2 CM from the end
but the Buck$ did not get tired
of stealing and became MAFIA.
Buck$ win.
Summary: If the Nets were 100%
healthy and the Buck$ didn’t
steal. The Nets swept the Buck$.
The Buck$ advance to the
conference finals against a young
Atlanta Hawks led by Trae Young
Game 1: Trae Young 48 points.
Hawks 1-0
Game 3: THE BUCKS REFEREE
INJURES TRAE YOUNG KEEPING
HIM OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS.
KHRIS MIDDLETON EL SALVADOR

Game 4: Giannis reportedly gets
injured. Hawks without Trae 2-2
Game 5: The saviors Middleton,
Holiday and Lopez suffering and Holiday and Lopez suffering and
saving the legacy of Giannizzz,
Buck$3-2
Game 6: Trae Young without being
100% vs. the saviors Middleton
and Holiday. The Buck$ also had to
steal from the poor Atlanta Hawks
to get through to the finals

by the MAFIA.
The Buck$ go into the finals
having stolen from the Nets and
Hawks.
The Buck$ championship is not
valid.

The Milwaukee Bucks won the easiest championship of all time, all the nba superstars players were hurt in the playoffs like Kyrie, Harden, Trae, Murray, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Kawhi, Zubac, Ibaka, Lebron, and AD. Milwaukee played in the finals with a team that hasn’t been in the playoffs in the last 10 years and none of the Phoenix Suns players played even played in the playoffs basically they had no experience and obviously the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis won the hospital championship and nobody said that Championship didn’t count because it wasn’t Lebron and the Lakers who won and y’all pretend not to say anything, and see you saw how ridiculous you guys sound?

I’m glad that Jimmy Butler got his revenge against the Bucks and their toxic fans and proved haters wrong and the people who believe that the NBA bubble doesn’t count. I remember when haters called The Miami Heat bubble guppies because they also beat the Bucks in the 2020 playoffs in the bubble as a 1st seed while Miami Heat was 5th seed and the people thought that the bubble helped them to beat them in the playoffs in 2020 and make a playoff run to the finals. But now Miami Heat just beat the Bucks in 5 games in a series without the bubble as an 8th seed while the Bucks were in the 1st seed and had the best record in the NBA overall. This is why no team should underestimate any team in the NBA and it doesn’t matter what seed the team is when you’re in the playoffs everything starts at 0. And I’m also glad the Lakers are proving the people who believed that the bubble didn’t count so wrong because when the Lakers won the title in the 2020 finals people thought that the bubble was the reason why the Lakers won the title but what people are forgetting is that before the NBA suspension, the Lakers were in the 1st seed in the West before the suspension with a record of 49-13 and Lebron and AD were in the MVP conversation that year and dominating any team in the regular season. But now the Lakers are proving that they have always been the best team with healthy Lebron and AD and that the reason why the Lakers missed the playoffs after the bubble was because they didn’t get enough rest and their best players Lebron and AD have been dealing with injuries in the past 2 years which it was why they were struggling but now they proving everyone wrong and now the Lakers got healthy Lebron and AD and are in the playoffs, and are about to beat the 2nd seed in the West Memphis Grizzlies in the 1st round.
