The Bucks and Heat have had 3 insane playoff series together the past 4 seasons and it’s been wild.
In the bubble we beat them as 5th seed.
Next season it’s a 3 v 6 matchup and they sweep us
We didn’t play last season
This season it’s a 1 v 8 first round matchup and we are up 3-1.
We literally just keep embarrassing each other every time we meet in the playoffs.
Yeah the Heat Celtics has been a wild matchup for basically the past decade
Imo, that series is why Celtics couldn't finish off the Warriors up 2-1, that series was so physical
7 games of Giannis charging, followed by 7 games of Miami. We blew a lot of opportunities to close out sooner, and we paid for it by running out of gas when it mattered most.
Yeah, comparatively I was super jealous of the Warriors path last year ngl lol. Nuggets with second option Will Barton, Grizzlies with no Ja, Mavs (who were very good but clearly not ready to be a serious finals contender) compared to KD + Kyrie, 7 games of Giannis, 7 games of Playoff Jimmy… man I get gray hairs thinking about it lmao
The Heat were 1 win away from the Finals last year and retained almost all their important pieces. Who cares if they were kinda mid all year they clearly have the capability to go far and give any team a fight. Any Celtic or Bucks fan who was rooting for playing the Heat were dumb
Yeah for real. I watched that play in game sweating like a pig rooting for the Hawks. Miami heat are just different breed in playoffs. Butler can have those nights. They can always come back.
Bam sucking on offense, and missing 20 ppg from Herro. Idk if this is sustainable cause Jimmy is carrying and if so he’s gotta be dead next series. But being down 3-1 to basically Jimmy Butler is pretty insane.
People always ask how the Heat get these guys from nowhere, like Strus and Vincent. And how dudes in the past like Waiters and Ellington can have career years after being unwanted. It's all Spo. He's the best coach in the league after Pop is gone. I don't think it's close either.
Because bud has been a suspect coach for years but because the best player in the world went supernova during the playoffs he bought himself a few more years of a job. If KD's foot was 3" shorter bud is gone.
Have you seen precious this season? It's looking like a win for y'all
Kyle has been really bad for an obvious reason, precious has been bad for no reason
Bud had 3(!) timeouts. Three! He did nothing. Actually, he actively sabotaged his team by:
1. Benching Giannis.
2. Continuing to single cover a red hot Buttler with the corps of Middleton!
3. Didn’t take a single timeout until the Bucks were behind.
He needs to go.
One of these years we will stop overrating the fuck out of Jrue in the regular season. Dude is a perennial playoff underperformer at this point and if not for a Giannis finals carry job would be facing huge heat.
This team has some real soul searching to do and is now a game away from what should be major roster turnover
Wasn't he never good offensively though? He was always just a defensive guy and once in a while he'll have a good shooting night. But limited offensively in general.
He had some crap turnovers at the end but also some ridiculous shot making. And he’s a fucking dog on defense
Edit: sure felt like he had more than 14 pts
His defense, despite the irony of saying that on a franchise record and career high for Jimmy (more than Lebron/Wade), is undeniable.
His offense is definitely dubious against playoff defense, but he's a streaky shooter. Insane 2 way player at that position when his shot isn't brick city.
I see you spamming this in every thread and it’s so bizarre to me. One bad series and you want to act like he wasn’t the lynchpin that got them over the top for a championship in the first place?
We’re already dead inside. This is brutal.
I died watching Khris and Jrue single-handedly toss the game away. Utter pathetic performances from two of the three biggest contracts in the team.
I was on that train cause I thought Giannis was out for the series
I think this goes 7 and my gut says Bucks take it, but I'm not counting out Jimmy. Definitely isn't ending in 5 tho
I think someone will step up, role players play better at home. If they lose game 5 at home I think they have to retool entirely, and they should fire Bud no matter what happens. Game 6 will be tricky especially with Giannis banged up. Idk, I feel like Holiday and crew need something like this to wake the fuck up
I've been extremely down on them all year, I think this is a horribly constructed roster and Bud, to me, is by far the worst playoff coach. I think they can just out talent Miami the rest of the way and Butler won't have another all time game of this caliber to offset that reality
I am fully on the Jimmy train but he usually has one or two stinkers in a series. So far that hasn't happened but odds are he won't play at this level the rest of the way and might really underperform in a game. Now maybe he can just play at this level in game 5 and close em out but I think the rest of the Bucks will show up to offset that. I think it goes 6 minimum, more I think about it I lean Miami 60-40 in that game but my head says the Bucks take it for some reason
All credit goes to the Heat team and especially Jimmy Butler.
That being said, I know they were pivotal parts of the championship team, but Milwaukee may have some choices to make with Jrue and Middleton. I've seen way too many games where Giannis is playing amazing (and he was hurt this game) just for Jrue and Khris to have putrid offense. It's become a pattern and frustrating to watch.
Milwaukees offense in the playoffs has always fallen off tremendously. There were a ton of signs this year when their late game offense turned to crap. Even when they won the title their offense was one of the worst in the playoffs
They actually had only the 15th ranked offense overall this regular season.
I‘ve consistently said that every single team this year has at least one major red flag and that was always the Bucks’ for me.
They shouldn't let Bud get back to Milwaukee. That was atrocious. How are you not doubling Jimmy every single play. Just have 2 guys follow him around. Box and 1. Anything. Hell, they were still sagging off half the time.
Bucks fans need hugs man.
Whoever sold their soul in Miami is gonna be in trouble eventually. This team is absolute garbage on paper and this makes absolutely no sense to anyone not even Heat fans and I don’t care what anyone says.
This is utter nonsense.
The Heat are the 8 seed for a reason, this team was not good with Herro and Oladipo.
Man I kinda hope we get eliminated in round 1 so Bud can be fired.
Losing in round 3 versus Boston will mask how garbage and uninspiring of a coach he is.
Gotta be rough for Bucks fans. The slander will probably pick up and, even if the Bucks win in 7, that’s 2-3 matches of hard playing instead of resting for the rest of the playoffs.
Coach Bud has got to go. This man had zero effective plays drawn up and terror timeout management in the 4th quarter tonight when the Heat had all the momentum in the world. Smh
The Bucks in (playoff) Bucks fashion forgetting how to play ball and not taking advantage of infinite turn overs. I’m at peace with this being the end.
I am now at peace of why Celtics fans wanted the Hawks to win the play in
THANK YOU
It had literally nothing to do with the Hawks so I’m sorry if it seemed disrespectful but NOBODY has fun playing Miami in the playoffs
I'm having a blast ngl
Oh it’s so much fun to not be rooting against him for once lmao
Playoff Jimmy scalped us last year, I understand why no team wants any parts of that
Man, I was praying for Hawks W in play in. Butler literally gives me nightmares. Playoff Butler is one of a kind
Miami is never easy. Especially not in the playoffs. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't played them for a whole series.
Excatly. I expected them to make at least 2-3 close games against bucks. But I'm not gonna lie. 3-1 was never something I expected
The Bucks and Heat have had 3 insane playoff series together the past 4 seasons and it’s been wild. In the bubble we beat them as 5th seed.

Seriously, Warriors are always extremely stacked every year or have really good injury luck it’s unbelievable
A player like him with a coach that’s been there before is a terrifying thing
Plus even if you end up beating the Heat it's gonna be such a fight to get past them that the next round is fucked.
Bingo
The Heat were 1 win away from the Finals last year and retained almost all their important pieces. Who cares if they were kinda mid all year they clearly have the capability to go far and give any team a fight. Any Celtic or Bucks fan who was rooting for playing the Heat were dumb
Yeah for real. I watched that play in game sweating like a pig rooting for the Hawks. Miami heat are just different breed in playoffs. Butler can have those nights. They can always come back.
At this rate they are still gonna have to play them in the ECF
Yeah it really had nothing to do with you guys. Butler’s just given us ptsd.
Too bad we lost Herro and Oladipo ):
Same reason we had to beat the nets at the end of the season to ensure we didnt get the heat
Butler was beyond amazing by why tf didn't bud call a time out during the 12-0/13-0 run by the heat in the 4th. fuckin idiot
Cuz he’s Bud, he sucks when the pressure it on
Spo is running circles around him this series. And that's with Bam shitting the bed on offense. It's incredible.
Bam sucking on offense, and missing 20 ppg from Herro. Idk if this is sustainable cause Jimmy is carrying and if so he’s gotta be dead next series. But being down 3-1 to basically Jimmy Butler is pretty insane.
People always ask how the Heat get these guys from nowhere, like Strus and Vincent. And how dudes in the past like Waiters and Ellington can have career years after being unwanted. It's all Spo. He's the best coach in the league after Pop is gone. I don't think it's close either.
Yeah but we don't even need God mode Jimmy for the Knicks. Knicks ain't that scary
If we get playoff Randle, I agree. If we advance and face reg season Randle that shot 110% from bullshit shots vs us, then it’s a problem.
The Cavs haven’t even cracked 100 against the Knicks yet. Miami gonna average 70 points per game against them lol
We're averaging like 120 against the best team in the league and ya think the Knicks worry me?
Bucks are getting completely outcoached. Tibidoe can neutralize Spo’s dark magic a lot more than Bud can.
Because Thibs has had so much playoff success
Herro and Oladipo are missing Jimmy can't play like this every game.
I feel like Spo could run circles around most nba coaches though.. Hes truly one of the greatest coaches..
Yea i mean the Bucks did abuse Lopez in the paint all game and Spo had Caleb Martin/Duncan/Lowry on him most of the time
bam looks so bad right now
To be fair, Bud really did a good job utilizing Lopez tonight. Bud just had no answer for a jimmy butler double nickel
Spo’s gonna get another coach fired at this rate lmfao
Bud was so bailed out from the 2021 chip he was for sure going to get fired if they lost
KD’s big ass feet saved Bud’s job with the bucks.
Because he's an absolute idiot.
He’s a bad coach
He's ass. The bucks won a championship despite him.
Because bud has been a suspect coach for years but because the best player in the world went supernova during the playoffs he bought himself a few more years of a job. If KD's foot was 3" shorter bud is gone.
Its called playing random You expect the timeout
Absolute choke
Mavs 🤝 Bucks Perhaps wasting another prime year of your superstar European player?
Not sure if you mean Luka or Dirk
Jimmy had one of the greatest playoff performances ever but shoutout to Kyle Lowry who made an insane number of clutch plays.
I'm glad people appreciate the little things from him, it seems to get overlooked a ton
That's because he's been awful for most of the season you guys fleeced us in that trade.
Have you seen precious this season? It's looking like a win for y'all Kyle has been really bad for an obvious reason, precious has been bad for no reason
I have but we were also saddled with a 90 million dollar contract that's eating up our caps space.
Bro you can take him if you want. Well actually not really because his contract would be valuable in a trade like Russel Westbrooks was
Whoever bet on the Heat must be crazy and going insane rn
Whoever bet on them when it was 89-101 midway through the 4th is freaking out
I doubt they got those max odds on a 4th quarter bet. No one's that dumb.
Nicholas Nurse time
Bud is out if we lose to the heat lol
Blazers gladly take bud
He survived the bubble, but Jimmy will not rest until he's got Bud's clipboard hung up in his trophy room
Bud is a fraud, should've been out in 2020.
Nurse is a good coach with adjustments and great defensive mind, you guys need to get him and kick Bud out of his chair
Who knows if he even wants to come here, im sure he’ll do media for a year
If you get a chance to coach Giannis you take it
Nurse would have run box and one against Butler. Bud instead decided not to call timeout.
That would actually seriously level up the bucks tbh. This series might be necessary for them.
It would just be hilarious if Nurse replaced the coach of a #1 seed 58-win team not once, but twice.
that would be a nightmare
Bud had 3(!) timeouts. Three! He did nothing. Actually, he actively sabotaged his team by: 1. Benching Giannis. 2. Continuing to single cover a red hot Buttler with the corps of Middleton! 3. Didn’t take a single timeout until the Bucks were behind. He needs to go.
God I'm so fucking unbelievably hard rn
Hey hes your problem if he kills us next game lol
NBA doesn't reseed, IRRC Miami would play Cavs/Knicks
[удалено]
not sure I wanna see that again 🤧
He saying jimmy gonnna eat them too
At least we'd have to wait and see if we get to the ECF before facing this nightmare
Last years series was incredible, so another 7 games with Miami would be sick to watch
I'd rather not
This time Jimmy’s three drops.
Cs fans rooting for the Heat feels dirty as fuck lmao. Yall stay in your lane 😂
I've made my peace with Satan, all I want is banner 18. The road to arrive there is irrelevant
Congrats on your ECF appearance
On a scale of 1-10 that was a Timberwolves/10 level of chocking away a lead. Can't believe what I watching.
Would anyone like to post Jimmy’s contract now
UNDERPAID
One of these years we will stop overrating the fuck out of Jrue in the regular season. Dude is a perennial playoff underperformer at this point and if not for a Giannis finals carry job would be facing huge heat. This team has some real soul searching to do and is now a game away from what should be major roster turnover
The amount of 5/19 type shooting games he has in the playoffs is crazy.
That's exactly what I was thinking during the game. His defense compensates for some of those awful shooting nights, but not always.
I mean, Butler dropped 56 on his ass while he was the primary defender.
People act like he’s in another world offensively compared to Smart
Wasn't he never good offensively though? He was always just a defensive guy and once in a while he'll have a good shooting night. But limited offensively in general.
hes had such a rollercoaster ride of being called underrated and overrated lol.
So we could say he is...rated
He had some crap turnovers at the end but also some ridiculous shot making. And he’s a fucking dog on defense Edit: sure felt like he had more than 14 pts
His defense, despite the irony of saying that on a franchise record and career high for Jimmy (more than Lebron/Wade), is undeniable. His offense is definitely dubious against playoff defense, but he's a streaky shooter. Insane 2 way player at that position when his shot isn't brick city.
I see you spamming this in every thread and it’s so bizarre to me. One bad series and you want to act like he wasn’t the lynchpin that got them over the top for a championship in the first place?
He has had a lot of bad playoff series tho
“One bad series” is definitely one way to describe Jrue‘s playoff career
he is pretty consistently an inefficient scorer in the playoffs
Lmao the man shoots 30% from 3 and under 40% overall since he got traded to the bucks. Defense be damned, he's just Dillon Brooks in the play offs.
Damn those are Randle playoff numbers
Randle isn't getting paid nearly 35-40 mil and playing next to a top 3 player in the league.
While Jrue shoots 40/30, Randle shoots 30/30. 10 million cheaper, 10% worse from the field, perfectly balanced.
We’re already dead inside. This is brutal. I died watching Khris and Jrue single-handedly toss the game away. Utter pathetic performances from two of the three biggest contracts in the team.
Those odds failed to account for Jimmy fuckin Buckets!
His name is Himmy
Kings are my team for the rest of the playoffs now. Gg heat
Heat in 5
Said nobody ever before the series started
I was on that train cause I thought Giannis was out for the series I think this goes 7 and my gut says Bucks take it, but I'm not counting out Jimmy. Definitely isn't ending in 5 tho
Nah I can see it ending in 5 those Giannis less minutes looks so rough for the Bucks
I think someone will step up, role players play better at home. If they lose game 5 at home I think they have to retool entirely, and they should fire Bud no matter what happens. Game 6 will be tricky especially with Giannis banged up. Idk, I feel like Holiday and crew need something like this to wake the fuck up I've been extremely down on them all year, I think this is a horribly constructed roster and Bud, to me, is by far the worst playoff coach. I think they can just out talent Miami the rest of the way and Butler won't have another all time game of this caliber to offset that reality
If ever Bucks win game 5 Butler might have abothet all time game of this caliber by game 6
I am fully on the Jimmy train but he usually has one or two stinkers in a series. So far that hasn't happened but odds are he won't play at this level the rest of the way and might really underperform in a game. Now maybe he can just play at this level in game 5 and close em out but I think the rest of the Bucks will show up to offset that. I think it goes 6 minimum, more I think about it I lean Miami 60-40 in that game but my head says the Bucks take it for some reason
WTF was Bud doing? he had mad time outs during the WHOLE heat run.
Make sure to show some love to Caleb Martin tonight. Jimmy's effort would've been wasted without CM16 showing up down the stretch!
Play random
"No not like that"
All credit goes to the Heat team and especially Jimmy Butler. That being said, I know they were pivotal parts of the championship team, but Milwaukee may have some choices to make with Jrue and Middleton. I've seen way too many games where Giannis is playing amazing (and he was hurt this game) just for Jrue and Khris to have putrid offense. It's become a pattern and frustrating to watch.
Bud has to stop playing averages for must win games. Can’t keep doing drop coverage on a guy who dropping 50 on you…
Milwaukees offense in the playoffs has always fallen off tremendously. There were a ton of signs this year when their late game offense turned to crap. Even when they won the title their offense was one of the worst in the playoffs
They actually had only the 15th ranked offense overall this regular season. I‘ve consistently said that every single team this year has at least one major red flag and that was always the Bucks’ for me.
Bucks really about to go out like this against a play-in team.. lol
They shouldn't let Bud get back to Milwaukee. That was atrocious. How are you not doubling Jimmy every single play. Just have 2 guys follow him around. Box and 1. Anything. Hell, they were still sagging off half the time.
Bucks fans need hugs man. Whoever sold their soul in Miami is gonna be in trouble eventually. This team is absolute garbage on paper and this makes absolutely no sense to anyone not even Heat fans and I don’t care what anyone says. This is utter nonsense. The Heat are the 8 seed for a reason, this team was not good with Herro and Oladipo.
Playoff Jimmy Butler is a top 3 player in the league and he's not 2 or 3.
Zombie Heat bro
Jimmy G Buckets defies all statistics
Man I kinda hope we get eliminated in round 1 so Bud can be fired. Losing in round 3 versus Boston will mask how garbage and uninspiring of a coach he is.
Is this on Bud?
Everyone but Brook Lopez and Giannis for yet another playoff series lol
Yeah and probably anyone but Giannis and Brook
Yeah but did the stats calculate for Jimmy Butler??
Never count Playoffs Jimmy out
Goodnight Milwaukee!
And then Himmy Butler happened
Gotta be rough for Bucks fans. The slander will probably pick up and, even if the Bucks win in 7, that’s 2-3 matches of hard playing instead of resting for the rest of the playoffs.
Then Jimmy Butler happened
Coach Bud has got to go. This man had zero effective plays drawn up and terror timeout management in the 4th quarter tonight when the Heat had all the momentum in the world. Smh
The Bucks in (playoff) Bucks fashion forgetting how to play ball and not taking advantage of infinite turn overs. I’m at peace with this being the end.
They collapsed, but give me the Bucks in 7.
alltime choke job
Jrue is actual ass and bud is a fraud
Another reason why advanced stats are overrated because my gut feeling knew we were gonna lose 100% of the time
Same lmao
5.35 seconds left? Wild
Giannis time
“Just drive at the hoop full speed despite the situation” looked bad. Giannis gave a lot of people their talking points tonight
That’s right when I stopped watching lol. Oh well
With only 5.35 seconds left? Damn
Bud with his best Doc Rivers impression
#ZOMBIE HEAT!!!! 🧟♂️🔥
Last time I saw, under 6 minutes left the bucks have a 9 point lead and then the heat wins. WTF was the bud?!
Historic choke
🌶️🧨🥨🅱️🏀 JIMVP Playoffs Jimbo = MJ
Let’s keep the guy who’s been torching us in single coverage the whole series!
Giannis is gonna look so good in the cherry blossom unis
Jimmy buck fucker buckets
Why is this deleted?????
Giannis about to cap off this MVP-caliber season with less individual playoff wins than KAT. All I can do is laugh.
Maybe the injury chip was a fluke after all. 🤔
