2021 Eastern Conference Round 1: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs. (6) Miami Heat

[fourkicks44]

Spoelstra's job is safe. He's been tight with Pat Riley forever. Would guess it would take YEARS of disappointment for him to lose his job.

Finals straight to first round sweep is a big fall especially when so much was promised.

His job is maybe safe but this is not good for his reputation.

Seems he gets more credit than he deserves and despite being a good coach is imo some what overrated.

Rumour is Kawhi is going to Miami which will be an interesting scenario.

Assists, late 3rd quarter: Heat 15, Giannis 13.

Bucks up 7.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Yesterday Kyrie's first-round 18 win streak ended, couldn't catch Lebron at 21.

Today Iguodola 6 year final streak seems to end, couldn't catch Lebron.

I swear Lebron is the luckiest player ever.

Sack Spo?

Is Miami this bad or have the Bucks improved that much? They don't even need Giannis to go nuts for two games in this series and still comfortably winning them. I know he plays amazing defense and gets an absurd amount of rebounds every game, but this bodes well for them.

This series just completely exposed the bubble. Same exact teams and opposite results

Bucks have also improved a lot by replacing a trash ass PG with an arguably all star level one. Jrue clamped Dame's cheeks so hard a few years back, it's rare to see someone getting destroyed like that. Add good playmaking and decent level scoring.

How did it expose the bubble?

Kawhi had a 3-1 lead and then lost because he was scared of facing LeBron.

a guy named tj warren playing like a superstar there

that scrimmage season mean nothing.

totally exposed

The LOW IQ take is the bubble is the reason this happened...

if you look at the rosters, these are two completely different teams than last year.

It's easy to see.

Yes but not overly. The Bucks have obviously loaded up with Jrue and Tucker.

The Heat, not so much. Herro is undwelming. Bam just got finger banged in the ass by Brook f#ckin Lopez and Jimmy is just showing the the true Jimmy. Watch him come oit blame the organisation or silently undermine them behind the scenes and move on to another team.

This was supposed to be the most exciting and close series of the whole first round. The Heat were coming off a hot streak coming into the playoffs.

Brett Brown was fired for less last season. At least he had the excuse of a Simmons injury and the pathetic front office and poor roster construction.

And how does Iggy feel?

After everything he pulled in Memphis. Look what Ja and the Grizz are doing now.

[RRR3]

Could have been a much different series if Jimmy didn’t poop his pants and blow game 1.

It must be Andre Drummond's fault.

He’s a terrible player stop stanning him.
