The Bucks blew back to back 15 and 13 point 4th quarter leads. That’s choking.
Glass half empty v half full. What I saw was Miami not fold, play really hard, and Jimmy Butler hit a level no one on the Bucks could. It's not like the Bucks were scared or can't handle pressure. They have proven they can.

Honestly it was a combination of both. Milwaukee had a 10 point lead at the 3 min mark and didn't score after that. The game was tied with a 0.5 sec left with a timeout and didn't call it. Down 2 in OT with 10 seconds left and they didn't even get a shot off

The mental breakdowns were awe inspiring
Sure. It's both. When teams make zero mistakes and miss no shots they never lose. When they do, the other team has to make them pay. If they do they win.

Shoutout Jae Crowder for his life decisions this season. I’m sure there’s a team in Tel Aviv with a roster spot waiting for him

Yeah he really screwed himself. His whole thing was wanting to be a starter and get another contract now it’s hard to imagine he has any value

Bucks getting eliminated is a positive for the Suns. In my opinion, Boston is the only team left in the East that could give us any trouble if we make it to the championship series. Now we just have to finish off Denver and whoever comes out of the other West bracket... which I'm less worried about.

I think the Warriors are our biggest threat of the teams remaining.

They know KD inside and out and could been the best equipped team to mess with him with both Draymond and Wiggins taking turns on him.

Antentokoumpo bricked a pair of free throws late in OT.

Man I said Miami wouldn't win a game . How damn wrong that was lol

That's why I wanted to make a bet with you. Didn't expect Miami to win but I figured 6-7 game series. Miami regularly coasts through the season and turns it on in the postseason.

This Suns team could use Jae Crowder right now.
