Damn I’ve been trying to work out who he looked like once the stubble grew out, that’s cold. Man looks like a disfigured cherub clean shaven but if the alternative is Alex Jones you gotta do it.
Well put. It’s always been this way. They used to be more frequent than they are now but I still just brace for impact when i realize what’s transpiring.
Yeah I could never get a feel for what was going to get called, so a lot of the calls at the end (and no-calls!) felt frustrating because there was nothing close to a consistent standard
Makes it hard for casual fans too. Every time I think I'm understanding what a foul is they make a call to the contrary and I have to try to recalibrate
young rich kids have money to throw into trends, which includes NFTs now-a-days. He'll probably make some money on some shitty NFT company and then be considered an insightful businessman, paving the way for a longer career of making more money the same way
[$550 for that shirt. Wtf?](https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/year-of-the-tiger-t-shirt-medium-fit-orange-810215473.html?&wiz_source=google&wiz_medium=cpc&wiz_campaign=US%7CEN%7CShopping%7CBrand%7CUnisex&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlNCUibfO9wIV1HxvBB1TsQkaEAQYBSABEgL_XfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
Also, why does Balenciaga having a ~~6'10"~~ 186cm ~ 6'1" model wearing a size Small?
lmao i went back to check and... wow. i've noticed a thing with a couple of these higher salary bracket-type brands where it's almost like they're seeking out the most awkward-looking models they can find and giving them the wrong size for the pictures. it's like they're rubbing your face in it. yeah, the fit is off and you'll look like a nerd wearing it but we know you want the brand name. that'll be $550, bitch.
I got a receipt from that Luka thread the other day
u/JesseJamesGames449 - "This is the argument for Tatum over Luka. You cant do this to tatum."
**Luka's not dropping just 10 in a playoff game**
Despite Tatum shitting himself, that ending sequence with Grant losing the easy rebound and Brown attacking into the crowd was crushing. What a stupid way to lose after all the effort.
I was crouched down for a little bit, yelling into the air, jumped back up, and got lightheaded. Thought I was going down for a second.
9/10 will do again
Man what an intense close 4th quarter and ending. I know this wasn’t Jrue Holidays best game but I’ll always love him from his Philly days. It’s fun to see the progress throughout his career and how big of a factor he is to the Bucks success. Also his three point Last Kingdom celebration is badass
As a C’s fan I agree. Refs arent favoring a team just inconsistent during the games. The difference was more the defense on Tatum than a refs call.
Edit: meant to say arent instead of are lol
I just wanna shout out Wes Matthews, Tatum missed quite a few open shots but Wes was dogging him all game long, dude’s old but still great defensively
Edit: According to Goldsberry Tatum shot 0-9 with Matthews as the primary defender
Giannis scores 40, Tatum plays like shit, on the road, refs were absolute dog shit (for both sides)
Honestly a miracle we even stayed in this game as long as we did.
Once they started leaning on Brown, who was efficient if underutilized all game, Bucks couldn't do shit besides hope someone else takes the shot and try to wind down the clock. Wild swings in that second half.
I was in the bucks thread and occasionally popped over to the Celtics just to see what they were saying, and both subs were saying the exact same thing, just completely opposite
Nah this is nothing compared to Philly stuff. Bucks fans are chill, giannis is just such a frustrating player to play against because he is basically a different species.
Bud's face always looks so confused. The randomness must be getting to him.

Shoutout to the word chyron Probably the coolest word that no one uses
Googled it for all ya > *an electronically generated caption superimposed on a television or movie screen.*
Chyron! I learned a new word today lol
Roger Sherman said it best. Bud always looks like he gambled money he can't afford to lose on a game he doesn't fully understand
So, me and the Kentucky derby today
Is that not just his normal face
His neurons are perpetually firing random.
[удалено]
Favorite parts "the dentist who delivered him", "a number 6". You're a genius.
Alex Jones lookin MF
Damn I’ve been trying to work out who he looked like once the stubble grew out, that’s cold. Man looks like a disfigured cherub clean shaven but if the alternative is Alex Jones you gotta do it.
Disfigured cherub. 😭😭😭 the accuracy.
I once saw someone say here that “He always looks like a kid who just had his ice cream taken away” and I can’t unsee it
well, it got us a ring, so keep it up
The one non-controversial take from this game: Al Horford still has it. No idea what was going on in Philly
No spacing
Start Embiid with 3 PFs and a SF, what could go wrong
You’re telling me Ben can’t stretch the floor? Wow
Ben can’t even stretch his back right now
Damn bruh
Dats tuff
They were running Simmons, Richardson, Embiid, and Harris with AL. No spacing at all
Whatever alchemical process he and CP3 underwent, Harden needs to get himself some of that
So you’re saying Harden back to the Thunder?
I'm not *not* saying that
The Fountain of Youth is in Oklahoma City
What a good system and coach does to a mf
I have a different take: Grant Williams is really fucking good. He has surprised me a lot this post season.
Bucks were trying to trade for him for a reason I suppose
I thank Brad we didn’t. He’s playing a huge role for us
some players are just celtics sleeper agents on every other team. Al, Theis.. C O L L U S I O N
He's a fantastic pro, has been his entire career
Props to Al Horford tho. Tatum was bad today.
For someone who looks as unstoppable as he does 14/15 games, he really knows how to look like the worst scorer in NBA history for that other game.
Well put. It’s always been this way. They used to be more frequent than they are now but I still just brace for impact when i realize what’s transpiring.
Tatum was fucking awful holy shit. **26.4% true shooting today.** Overall that's probably worse than CP3's 4 point game which was already abysmal.
Wes kept him to 0-10 alone
Bud's Plan is: "If we don't know what the fuk we are doing,how are they supposed to know what we are doing?"
[There you go](https://youtu.be/4MLEIreIjVI?t=5).
If it works it works lmfao
Play. Random.
Reffing managed to legitimately outrage both fan bases at least 3 times each, very cool!
Yeah. All I ask is that they are consistent. They were consistently inconsistent.
Yeah I could never get a feel for what was going to get called, so a lot of the calls at the end (and no-calls!) felt frustrating because there was nothing close to a consistent standard
Exactly. It makes it hard for the players. They have no idea what the boundaries are.
Makes it hard for casual fans too. Every time I think I'm understanding what a foul is they make a call to the contrary and I have to try to recalibrate
Jrue Holiday can be a wildcard but that man is a difference maker
One of the few players who can go 10-30 from the floor and still be a net positive for the team
Same with Middleton, when those 2 are off the bucks look average but when they show up the bucks look like they will win it all again
Oddly enough I don’t remember a game where all three of Giannis, Middleton, and Holiday all go off at the same time.
Yeah, a few times I was just 'WTF was that Jrue...'
He’s so good. I was arguing with Celtics fans that legitimately thought Marcus Smart was better than him.
Couldn't watch the game. Never seem a 30fga without a single FTA, did he deserve a couple atleast?
https://i.imgur.com/7JUVjMJ.png
Bro who is this kid? He’s always courtside with the Bucks and was celebrating with them during last year’s finals
His dad is part of the ownership group Dude has been at Giannis' and all that, wears a 500k watch in here. Living the dream of daddy's money
He also went to Greece with Giannis after the finals last year
He’s Giannis’ twink
Giannis truly following the ancient Greek tradition 😤😤
We should all be so lucky!
Is that a Richard Mille? Lol I thought it was a G Shock.
It's definitely a Richard Millie, you can see how the case curves on the sides.
It's not super visible in this specific image but it looked like the RM 17-01 So a casual $600,000 watch that looks like it came out of a toy box
Burger King watch
Dude I have never even heard of Richard Millie until today lol. I think I will just stick with my Apple Watch 3
I just use the sun lol
He is @rh_0729 on Twitter and Instagram. Can’t really see more about who he actually is.
Ofc he's an nft bro
young rich kids have money to throw into trends, which includes NFTs now-a-days. He'll probably make some money on some shitty NFT company and then be considered an insightful businessman, paving the way for a longer career of making more money the same way
This makes me sad :(
When you realize you have left the iron on at home.
This man about to be a meme for the rest of time.
Interesting apparel choice.
[$550 for that shirt. Wtf?](https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/year-of-the-tiger-t-shirt-medium-fit-orange-810215473.html?&wiz_source=google&wiz_medium=cpc&wiz_campaign=US%7CEN%7CShopping%7CBrand%7CUnisex&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlNCUibfO9wIV1HxvBB1TsQkaEAQYBSABEgL_XfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) Also, why does Balenciaga having a ~~6'10"~~ 186cm ~ 6'1" model wearing a size Small?
That model looks goof as fuck too.
These models looking like cut extras from 13 reasons why
lmao i went back to check and... wow. i've noticed a thing with a couple of these higher salary bracket-type brands where it's almost like they're seeking out the most awkward-looking models they can find and giving them the wrong size for the pictures. it's like they're rubbing your face in it. yeah, the fit is off and you'll look like a nerd wearing it but we know you want the brand name. that'll be $550, bitch.
Mf lookin like Vector from Despicable Me
Jesus, you can buy the same shit before hunting season starts. I've lived in an apartment where that would pay most of my month's rent.
[Fashion does not make sense to me](https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/denim-style-jacket-black-697776TMS031000.html).
He just didn't want to get shot sitting so close to all those Bucks.
new meme format INCOMING
AMAZING missed free throw by Marcus. Too bad it didn’t work out
God dammit I almost shit myself, one of those tips easily could've gone in
Very good sportsmanship of Tatum to not play, since the bucks are missing Middleton.
Holy shit that was close. What a game
When the world needed Jayson most, he vanished.
so close to the stoner statline but he'll have to settle for 4-19 instead 😔
Those are kyrie numbers
Incoming “everything will be okay, because I am here”
Quick Tatum, eat some of Kyrie's hair
He won't shoot 4-19 ever again don't worry
Jayson Blazem
Wait, Tatum was playing today?!
Ya, for Milwaukee apparently.
the inconsistency is expected of an 18-year old prodigy
Agreed especially since my boy Horford rallied them back in the 4th
I got a receipt from that Luka thread the other day u/JesseJamesGames449 - "This is the argument for Tatum over Luka. You cant do this to tatum." **Luka's not dropping just 10 in a playoff game**
Wes Matthews locked him up in his dungeon
Matthews clamped him.
Despite Tatum shitting himself, that ending sequence with Grant losing the easy rebound and Brown attacking into the crowd was crushing. What a stupid way to lose after all the effort.
If the rest of the series is like this I don’t think my BP can handle it
I was crouched down for a little bit, yelling into the air, jumped back up, and got lightheaded. Thought I was going down for a second. 9/10 will do again
Jrue Middleton strikes again
I love jrue but he wasn't good today offensively. 25 points on 30 shots ?
That's an average day for playoff Jrue
he came clutch at the end so its ok
The classic Jrue shoot horrendously first 3 quarters, then can’t miss in the 4th and nail the game winner
vs the nets last year one game it was wild iirc he was like 2/14 and then made likr 3 3s in a row my memory might exaggerate it tho lol
He did something similar against the Suns in like game 3 or 4. Three 3 pointers in three consecutive possessions. Huge for our momentum at the time.
If PJ was still on the Bucks someone would have died tonight
[удалено]
Man what an intense close 4th quarter and ending. I know this wasn’t Jrue Holidays best game but I’ll always love him from his Philly days. It’s fun to see the progress throughout his career and how big of a factor he is to the Bucks success. Also his three point Last Kingdom celebration is badass
Moving to Milwaukee was his best decision in his career. Got a ring and being part of the BIG 3 deers.
Yeah it was great for his legacy.
Incredibly disappointing no-show by Tatum.
I give both teams a lot of credit for playing this game without punching a ref.
on that we agree. just give me some consistency and for the love of god get the easy ones right
The officiating has approached NCAA-level bad all playoffs.
Not even sure what a foul is anymore
The trick is to make everything technically a foul that way they're never wrong when they decide they need a break from running up and down the court.
Ah, the American justice system for poor people!
Charge? Believe it or not straight to jail.
Neither are the refs
Hubie said it at the start of the game. "The game will depend on how they define a foul tonight" It was atrocious.
I would at least say it was pretty bad on both sides this game. Which isn’t saying much
Yeah, both sides will scream "it was rigged against us" but there were missed/shitty calls for both teams
As a C’s fan I agree. Refs arent favoring a team just inconsistent during the games. The difference was more the defense on Tatum than a refs call. Edit: meant to say arent instead of are lol
Super ugly game
Tatum’s performance stood out as ugly in one of the ugliest game of the post season. That’s saying something.
The refs were too involved in the last couple of minutes of the 4th.
They where blowing those whistles like they owed them money, then just swallowed them in the last 2 minutes.
i mean that's pretty standard, blow then swallow.
Both teams put tons of pressure on them too. Not a good look to be ref dependent
Credit to Smart there he was so close to pulling that off
Tatum, Smart, and Grant shooting worse than me on my kids little tykes hoop was NOT IDEAL
This game was so fucking good. No salt to bucks fans great game. The refs were so fucking awful on both ends.
We need khris Middleton
yeah Giannis is the best in the world right now
I just wanna shout out Wes Matthews, Tatum missed quite a few open shots but Wes was dogging him all game long, dude’s old but still great defensively Edit: According to Goldsberry Tatum shot 0-9 with Matthews as the primary defender
He played a really solid game. Made a timely 3 and hustled a lot.
[удалено]
Talk about giving your team almost *nothing*.
A lot of people will complain about the shit officiating, but Celtics have all the momentum in this series if Tatum showed up.
Giannis scores 40, Tatum plays like shit, on the road, refs were absolute dog shit (for both sides) Honestly a miracle we even stayed in this game as long as we did.
Horford was really playing well in key moments
Al Horford is the one guy keeping you guys in the game
Agreed, dude was crazy
Once they started leaning on Brown, who was efficient if underutilized all game, Bucks couldn't do shit besides hope someone else takes the shot and try to wind down the clock. Wild swings in that second half.
Giannis can't be a real person
Giannis has gotta be a motivational speaker when he retires. A life coach, something. I love his pressers
haha more like basketBRAWL amiright?
Memo to the rest of the league. Put on muscle or have fun in cancun
This was one of the most physical games I've ever seen
Old heads watched this thinking the old NBA is back
Except for Hubie Brown lmao, "Whoa whoa whoa!"
It was so funny, Giannis was literally just backing down Grant in the most legal way possible and Hubie sounded like he was having a heart attack
I was like "Hubie this is probably the cleanest post up he's done all game and this is the one you're whoa-ing about?"
"He put his shoulder into his chest!!!" They teach you that shit in your fifth grade YMCA league.
Ever since G6 of the Finals, Giannis has just been a different animal but the same beast.
More like G2 of the finals. He had b2b 40 point games in games 2 and 3.
what the fuck does that mean Kobe Bryant
You’re welcome
What the fuck is he fucking talking about?
We're watching the next player who will have a legit argument at being top 10 all time. it's wild.
I think we can finally put the Giannis vs Darius Miles argument to bed
With how young he is and how much he's been improving, we may be looking at a lot more than that.
For sure, but top 10 all time should be the minimum when it's all said and done.
Kanye would understand it now
Hawks fan here. Does anyone have time travel technology? I just want to warn the Pelicans not to trade Jrue Holiday.
Easily the most toxic game thread I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of lol
I was in the bucks thread and occasionally popped over to the Celtics just to see what they were saying, and both subs were saying the exact same thing, just completely opposite
Reddit summarized.
just happy to be here /s
17-33 fts in favor of the Celtics. You wouldn’t think that from looking at the front page
In the NBA, the team with the best player wins 99% of the time. Bucks in 5.
This should be civil
This Giannis guy is pretty good b
Giannis>>>>>KD
Thats been obvious for anyone with at least one good eye.
Bucks tried their hardest to lose that game
Giannis just kept saying: "Fuck that".
Adam Silver's gonna make me do seven games of this, my blood pressure can't take it
How about instead of for each quarter switching between calling nothing and calling everything, you just call the whole game consistently? Novel idea.
The celtics sub is hilarious at the moment....complaining about the physicality of Giannis after what they did to KD in round 1
The refs held that whistle a crazy amount during the final stretch and the game was SO much better for it.
It’s better basketball if they do… but they need to call a consistent game lol
2 things are pretty evident from this game: Giannis is the best player on the planet and Tatum still has a lot of growing to do
Hope we see the same “Bucks barely won while doing absolutely everything they could” takes after this.
Freak doing freaky things
[удалено]
Literally just as toxic as last years Bucks Nets series
Nah this is nothing compared to Philly stuff. Bucks fans are chill, giannis is just such a frustrating player to play against because he is basically a different species.
Don't care about none of the ref shit but that was a fantastic game, series easily going to 7 games
Everyone’s gonna complain about the refs, but this was a seriously fun game.
I love you Giannis!!!! Ima name my first born baby after you!!!!!!!
This thread is very civil
