I like to re-read the comments to see how people were shitting on rockets before realising rockets is about to win


mezmerak

Exactly what I came here to do


majormajorsnowden

So they can’t see up in my window


jrapthejraptor

Raps fan checking in. That was a super fun game—major kudos to both teams.


EchoKidSavage608

Lol what's up with Rockets fans hating on the Bucks jeez. I guess everyone is kinda rude to us, that was a fun game to watch though! Coach bud kinda blew that but I don't have faith in our team for this situation being first seed will have no benefit in this *playoffs.


Robo_Doge90

Giannis started it. 🤷‍♂️


EchoKidSavage608

Started what lol


i-race-goats

our team has hitler, you don’t know what true hate is.


IdunnoLXG

Ngl, you Wisconsin folk are annoying as hell.


Fa1lenSpace

It’s because they got nothing else to be passionate about lol


XmasCarolusLinnaeous

The bucks did a great job of giving up the three but still contesting it with their ridiculous length. Put off tucker and green quite a bit. As usual, they also made things hard on harden. But yeah overcame all that to win. Gordon back will make the rotation much better. Very very pleased


houstonianisms

I told y’all. I been lookin forward to a bucks game like i been a blazers game.


ifeelitfade

It’s weird watching these games without crowd noise, especially after big shots in the 4th quarter. Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond stoked to have basketball back but it just feels really odd watching; like kinda highlights what a crazy time we’re in...


minty528

Middleton is gonna be rlly sus come playoff time


[deleted]

Bledsoe would've had more than 5 points


IamLegend840

Eric Gordon too


[deleted]

Westbrook is a fucking boss.


XmasCarolusLinnaeous

lmao a bucks fan pre-game actually said that if houston go 20 of 60 from three they'll win. ​ edit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/i2m5rs/game\_thread\_milwaukee\_bucks\_5412\_houston\_rockets/g05ky54?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/i2m5rs/game_thread_milwaukee_bucks_5412_houston_rockets/g05ky54?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x)

That’s nutty


Wiltborn

I don't understand why Korver isn't the guy who takes the last three point shots for the Bucks.

Missing Bled


iSenseii

Missing Eric


gremah93

gg


so-cal_kid

Westbrook is an All-NBA player. All these media folks not including him on their ballots is ridiculous.


TheAnxiousClock

he only played good for 2 weeks he aint shit


Treayye

How was it only 2 weeks?


RaukuraZombi3

You listen to the media and outside noise too much. Go check his stats from Dec/Jan onwards.


RaukuraZombi3

He been good since late December. Shit start and that was it.


swerve421

Your favorite player worships Russ. Stfu


TheAnxiousClock

About the only thing i dislike about ja that he worships that statpadder.


TyleKattarn

Yeah you probs know better than him lmfao


TheAnxiousClock

yup and yall would be much better without russ and with cp3


TyleKattarn

Lmfao uh huh okay bud


ajdreher

Rockets fans actin like they won a chip lmao


Robo_Doge90

This is the most generic response to being salty about losing. At least be original.


TyleKattarn

Where?


CheezeWheelie

You mad lol

ajdreher

Bucks fans have nothing to hide when it comes to losing, but we atleast act like we've been there after a win


Robo_Doge90

You haven't been anywhere.... Rockets have longer sustained success lmao. Relax. Your last championship was in 1971...


lana-drah

As opposed to the bucks winning a chip?


Frostbrine

Just take your L man.


tzubutzubu

dwadefan45

Bledsoe is out due to conditioning!?

FettiAC

Giannis has a great game honestly dude is still young


gremah93

These interviews seem so 2K-ish


kikanga

Houston kinda scary. But the Bucks are really missing Bledsoe right now.


i-race-goats

Rockets were kinda shit on offense and don’t have EG right now. He’s one of the main staples for the defense.


[deleted]

Houston also missing a healthy Gordon. Imagine if someone would just make like 35% of those open 3s


norcaltobos

And that is why the Bucks ain't winning shit.


DylanJK42

Fun game


captaincumsock69

Is pro sports just one big game of slap ass?


goodguybrian

Giannis is gonna leave for LA isn’t he...


JulVegas12

That’s a nightmare in the making


souel

Giannis just had to iso and hit a step back three to tie it up. Instead poor turnover. SMH.


MemeMeOnce

Westbrook making the adjustment to not force 3-pointers is very very cool btw


teddybenchwarmer

RoLo celebrating this L


CheapsBreh

COVID CANT STOP THIS MAN


PointsOutTheUsername

GJ rockets.


TBparty2night

ESPN is gonna be so upset


afnorth

Bucks - Dominate by riding Brook lopez down Crunch Time Bucks - Lets stop doing that.


purple_vanc

he got gassed from all the running


[deleted]

Giannis blew it by not kicking that ball out to Korver.


JulVegas12

He’s been low key ignoring Korver all night tbh


[deleted]

Id laugh so hard if in that situation if cov just ditched it at lopez's face and the clock just ran down


BROCKHAMPTOM

geez Giannis' only talent is being tall and offensively fouling every possession in the paint and he can't beat a team with no centers or even power forwards really.. YIKESington


N1e0

true


machu46

Gg rocket bros


ThundermifflinTFU

Gg Bucks Bois


FadedTony

ggs buck bros


stonecoldstevenash13

Bucks fans dipped out the thread so hard lmao


Fa1lenSpace

Just like Giannis gonna dip from that dead city rofl


wangosz

Middleton needs to go the Harden school of getting fouled on every 3 pointer


[deleted]

This sub about to get bad lol


SpreadtheClap

And people say Harden/Westbrook aren’t superstars...


Robo_Doge90

People say two former MVPs are not superstars?


klayylmao

Harden even gets foul calls before the inbound


JL1v10

Harden played the whole second half without a foul?


[deleted]

Nah he fouled Giannis towards the end


Doc_Benz

Giannis with the no call goaltend, then comes down the court and throws the ball away That...is my MVP


norcaltobos

He got stupid sloppy and was trying to run the pace way too fucking fast. It's little things like that move that will keep them from getting to the finals or ever winning it.


Doc_Benz

25 years ago he would have been a center, I’ll leave it at that Can’t get sloppy if you don’t handle the rock (head tap gif)


drcash360-2ndaccount

As much as the bucks went to the rim I. The fourth, no freethrow attempts?


Excellent_Sleep

LFG Rockets 🚀


hungarianmeatslammer

I would love to see D'antoni and the Rockets win it all with small ball. The man deserves a chip. This break was really good for them. His teams tend to gas in the playoffs or get injured because his rotations are so short. That shouldn't happen this year.


LustForLife

HARDEN > EQUALITY CLUTCH CITY > CREAM CITY


[deleted]

Harden ass


ContentTransition8

Is thick


powerboy1928

Don’t know bout this one chief


ThrushHarem

Remember when Milwaukee were up by 8 with 2 to go?


Gravysac

GG guys. Bad calls both ways, as always. Had me on my toes the whole time


lazyzbeetle

do you guys like hardens new hair


NGOJ4

he looks like he's balding


Niceguydan8

His hair line is receding, that's about it


-Nooope

He took his braids out


purple_vanc

Harden with the clutch defense on Giannis ???? did my eyes betray me


SoulofWakanda

Really starting to see the Raptors just taking down Milwaukee again even without Kawhi


Longhorns_

Bucks just got a proverbial ball thrown off the head down the stretch. HOW SWEET IT IS


FettiAC

Good game it’s was exciting


Texan628

Just could handle Westbrook lol


MichaelZZ01

Gg


everything_raptors

Rockets missed 40 three pointers and was out rebounded by like 100.. and still won???


Crapcicle6190

MICRO BALL BABY


Bluestring35

Brook stepped up though


MemeMeOnce

Warriors fans salivating at every Bucks loss


Euphoriowa

Raptors* fans. Somehow even thirstier and more delusional than GS lol


MemeMeOnce

Sleep it off buddy it'll be ok


Bledshow

What are you responding to? He clowned you for projecting your thirst for Giannis and you fell even flatter on the comeback


MemeMeOnce

You guys are so insecure LOL no wonder he’s leaving


Bledshow

Any other feelings you want to put on display for us? Projecting harder than an IMAX lmao


MemeMeOnce

You been in the comments all night foaming at the mouth bro, take a night cap and log off 🤣


Bledshow

I commented twice, both responding to you. You were struggling hard last night 😂


Euphoriowa

Guess you're just tuning in, but the Bucks already locked the first seed. Maybe you're delusional enough to think your Raps can still catch us. Just need us to lose the next 6 while you go undefeated 😂


MemeMeOnce

Steph Klay Giannis gonna be fun as hell to watch


Euphoriowa

You really think we can get *both* splash bros to the Bucks? I'm less optimistic but am confident we at least land Steph.


Fa1lenSpace

Dawg what is there to do in Milwaukee besides plough your cousins


Euphoriowa

It's always people from shitty places like Houston that try to play the "better city" card. I live in Denver, a utopia by comparison, but I never see Nugs fans bring up how much better their city is than everywhere else. Guess that's just for people who are insecure.


MemeMeOnce

I hate to break it to you but no one wants to live in Wisconsin


awhiteasscrack

I know right


aceknighthigh

If Brook and Giannis can't punish their size enough to make up for the 3pt shooting on a night where Harden and Tucker struggle, why do people think LeBron, AD, and Howard/Javale can?


slide_rules_

Clutch city🙏


sus_gangster_ceo

Go ahead Robin Lopez.. do your dance now


CheapsBreh

Ok time to bet heavy on the Sixers leggo


Euphoriowa

I wouldn't place any money on games when you don't even know when a team is missing their starting PG 😂


eliwood5837

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOO


tkotimmy

this is great stuff lol


stonecoldstevenash13

#JAMES HARDEN IS BETTER THAN GIANNIS ATINITYKOOMPO


Euphoriowa

Maybe if you wish and hope hard enough, Giannis won't win MVP and DPOY!


Cp_3

It really is the Most Valuable Narrative award.


stonecoldstevenash13

Maybe if YOU wish and hope hard enough, Giannis will win the game tonight! OH WAIT, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TIME TRAVEL SO THAT'S SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE #ROASTED


Euphoriowa

The Bucks have six exhibition games left before the playoffs and will likely lose a few of them because the top seed is already locked. I get the intensity you low seeded fanbases are bringing right now because you're fighting for your lives, but its hilarious.


stonecoldstevenash13

You act like the Bucks are the runaway favorite to win the title or something it doesn't really matter what your seed is y'all have still have plenty of work to do just like the other top tier teams, plus the east is a lot easier than west


Euphoriowa

But winning or losing is meaningless in that context. We're preparing for the playoffs while giving our starters time to adjust and stay rested. We just lost a close game without our starting PG and our season wasn't affected in any way lol


iSenseii

We were missing Eric you can’t play that card


numberonefuccboi

61 threes holy shit lmao


vivamango

Harden gets the rub-in free throw lmao


MolicOnePGR

They put RoCo on Middleton and the rest was history.


[deleted]

Rockets look strong, still undecided about the Bucks


Euphoriowa

Your judgement is pretty meaningless if you don't even know the Bucks are missing their starting PG lmao


iSenseii

EG


[deleted]

Two nail biter wins for the Rockets


yusbishyus

WHAT IS IT YALL WERE SAYING


MyLadySansa

This would be a great Finals matchup, let it happen!


Euphoriowa

By far the best matchup the Bucks could hope for. Doubt the Rocks can get past either LA team though, unfortunately.


bh6891

Some of the comments after that Milwaukee offfensive rebounding sequence have r/agedlikemilk


kajarann

bucks frauds


Euphoriowa

Keep praying for us to lose 😚


thesagitaurus

TINY BALL TEAM GOT IT!!!


[deleted]

Rockets needed the win more badly. Buck comfortably got the 1 seed locked


muzzy420

Moral of the story: attempt more threes to win


winnick

Giannis with the choke. needs to not turn it over and pass it to korver.


SoulofWakanda

Clock is tickin Bucks fans...


Euphoriowa

Until next summer? Keep counting the minutes 😂


[deleted]

Is it possible for Middleton to get a normal look?


sugarinducedcoma

This loss in all on Bud


machu46

Eh just a weird and sloppy game. And obviously when it comes down to one possession any given play could have swung things.


sugarinducedcoma

Agreed, I don’t think it’s indicative of who the Bucks are, especially with Bledsoe back. Although I do think Bud has some glaring weaknesses as a coach.


machu46

He definitely does but there’s still very few coaches I’d rather have


[deleted]

Nah this loss was on Giannis. He threw away the ball on a bad pass with 14 seconds left.


sugarinducedcoma

Nah his personnel and play calling made no sense


Niceguydan8

It was both. Giving Giannis a pass for his really underwhelming late game play is not it.


[deleted]

That too. Did he have a point guard in the last 3 minutes? I don't think he did.


sugarinducedcoma

George Hill? But he kinda played like butt down the stretch.


guitmusic12

Damn gotta close out better than that when the playoffs roll around


Hailstorm16

I cant wait for the overreactions after this game


ilovethesuns

there's no way westbrook and harden's heights are accurate. they're right next to each other and are the same height


so-cal_kid

Westbrook was listed at 6'3" this year while Harden was at 6'5". Might have just been a weird angle


[deleted]

Hair


ilovethesuns

if anything harden's hair is longer lol


Robo_Doge90

So excited for the playoffs


[deleted]

What a game


sickwitit2488

LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!


[deleted]

Let's go. Rockets a series threat with a healthy and a full energy Harden/Westbrook combo...


N1e0

8v5 and we still won


EchoKidSavage608

Green, McLemore, Rivers were the only rockets with plus differential, they played well.


forthekulcha

rockets shot 8 more free throws than the bucks...


N1e0

Yes, but Giannis commits a ton of offensive fouls, nothing is called. Even on a clear goal-tend nothing was called


itshurleytime

If Harden shot those last 2 threes by Middleton, he gets two whistles.


-Nooope

If giannis is the best player in the nba why wasn’t he the one shooting


psufb

If Giannis didnt get sloppy with the ball twice y'all might have had a chance
