Series Thread: 2nd Round:Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat

[Wamu]

There really are only Warriors, Heat, Cavs, Celtics, Thunder, and Lakers fans here. Maybe Raptors and Mavericks too. Pretty much it

There's like one Kings fan, one Pistons fan,.one Wizards fan, the one Clippers fan left, etc.

Speaking of Clippers fan did Mecca leave this site for good? Haven't seen her around lately.

Mecca left the site because of the politics that were started on the NBA board. She only wanted to talk about basketball.

The Bucks are chokers.

Wrong as usual, GnG

But if you were right, that would make it your fault then

No, I'm right. Mecca and I have been friends going back to our days on the FanNation sports forum and she was not happy discussing politics. I didn't introduce politics to that board but only commented on it.

I'm not sure it's the bubble. I think the Bucks are built for the regular season. It's a lot easier to settle into a defensive strategy to limit Giannis over a 7 game series than it is in Game #62 on a Wednesday night.

Plus, while they had the best record in the league, 2 of their losses were to the Heat. Toronto has certainly done better than most expected after Kawhi left, but they are built similar to the Bucks. They one great player in Siakam and bunch of other guys who range from solid to good. Neither has a second star to help them out, let alone a 3rd guy.

Basically, weaknesses that they were able to hide in the regular season are getting exposed in the playoffs.

Yeah I agree and I think Brogdon was a key player for them...or it seems last year. That could be very well be it though. Until Giannis establishes a jumper, teams (very few) will be able to play him a certain way with the right roster. Now, there aren't many teams that can do this...maybe Boston and Miami being really the only ones, I would also include Toronto...so basically the top teams. That doesn't bode well for the Bucks. It seems like something is just missing with this roster even with the high win total.

Nonsense. She can't stand you.

 

[msgkings322]

Mavericks?

 

[bksballer89]

Mavericks?

I could see

 

[msgkings322]

I could see

If they send Porzingis and picks to Milwaukee that's probably better than what the Ws can send for him (depends on how the Bucks look at KP's injury risk). I don't see what the Heat could send for him that's better than either.

If they waited until summer 2021 after this next season they could sign him. They would have enough cap. Doncic, Zinger and Giannis

These calls are horrible

bet you liked the last one.

 

[GNG]

Nonsense. She can't stand you.

This may surprise you but Mecca and I are good friends.

 

[dtgold88]

Why would you think that lol

What have the Bucks ever proven in the playoffs to make you think that?

The Cavs in 18 beat the team that beat the Bucks in 18

They are regular season champs that fold in the playoffs everytime...Even in a bad eastern conference lol

I guess you could make a case the Bucks were better if you took out Giannis and Lebron, but 2018 Lebron gives the cavs the edge IMO.

 

[dtgold88]

Because the ‘18 Cavs were trash.

And no, they didn’t beat the team that beat Milwaukee. Not even close.

But they had that Lebron fellow who might be a better playoff performer circa 2018 than Giannis.

 

[dtgold88]

The NBA is scripted. They want a close series with the Bucks still winning (Giannis sells more than butler)....They want a finals of Boston vs LA too

Last call did hopefully makes the "fixed for Bucks" talk calm down a little.

Isn't to say no way it should have been called, but was questionable at best and if a fix was in for the Bucks?

 

[dtgold88]

Okay. You 2 are gonna have to thumbwrestle or something and let me know who wins, so I know whether to bother or not. lol

Can we play rock, paper, scissors.......we can send which way we want to go with you and you can tell us who wins?

 

[dtgold88]

Yes, they were.

Kyrie wasn’t playing.

Tatum and Brown are much better now than they were 2 years ago.

All of these teams are a lot better than what the Cavs saw in ‘18.

no disagreement there but still does not mean Lebron-led cavs would not beat the Bucks.
