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

[bksballer89]

Some of the quotes in this thread will be epic if the Bucks somehow win three more.

You do realize probably 98% of those quotes are from non Heat fans right?

The Heat were outcoached today.

 

[GNG]

I picked the Heat to win in 7.

 

[logic]

My guess is he stays in Milwaukee.

I think Giannis' injury makes it more likely you are right and he stays. The Bucks have done well building and even if they get eliminated Giannis will know he wasn't at full strength and there could be a better effort in the future.
But in the mean time:

With the exception of Oladipo, Sabonis and Brogdon the Pacers are built not bought right?

 

[GNG]

The Bucks actually played better down the stretch without Giannis.

Spo need to stop hoping and praying Nunn goes back to the player he was before the season went on pause. Give Jones Jr his minutes and call it a day.

Nunn been playing like ass since he's been in the bubble so about a month and half now. Stop expecting it to change

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I was wondering that. Can you only challenge something that is called a foul?

Based on how Spoelstra answered the question, they could have.

Like what?

you can't challenge a foul that wasn't called a foul

 

[tlance]

They are still the team to beat though lol

Yeah, just keep on saying that.

I meant what I said.

And no, if Giannis has a significant injury obviously they aren’t the team to beat anymore.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I wasn’t clear on the rule.
I believe you.
Spoelstra did not say that when asked the question.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yeah, just keep on saying that.

I never said the series was over.
I said any team up 3-0 was the team to beat.
You are the one now changing your position.

 

[GNG]

The Heat lead the series 3-1 but some folks here are acting like they already lost.

Nah. The team to beat is the team to beat until they are beaten.

Losing their franchise player would be the other scenario that changes the dynamic.

Down 3-0 They were still the same team. Without Giannis they aren’t.

 

[bksballer89]

Fuck is he still playing for?

I disagree with part 1, obviously. You are saying that a team you gave a 3% chance to win down 0-3 should be thought of as the same team that was a big favorite pre series. Makes no sense but we can move on.

I do agree with part 2.

But why do you keep bringing it up?

You obviously don’t agree with me. It is semantics.

You are looking at the micro and I am looking at the macro.

Finish the series, then we can anoint the next team to beat. Should have done it today.

May as well sub me in, I might get those stats AND double digit turnovers.
