I think the Bucks did enough for that to be a respectable win. Durant was amazing and Harden gave the Nets something but the Bucks did enough. It was certainly more earned than the Raptors beating the Warriors a couple years ago.
It feels like the series changed (aside from the Irving injury) when Bucks decided to just hammer the paint and play physical and if they foul out of the series it's better than getting shelled.
Holiday and Middleton were great down the stretch.

Harris choked all series. Went 1-11 in one of the earlier losses. Some guys falter when the pressure is on. Sometimes it’s a fluke, sometimes it’s because they really can’t handle it.
Technically the Hawks have a title as well. :People forget that the St Louis Hawks were the only team to beat the Russell Celtics in the Finals. In 1958. Bob Pettit

This is either a one-year aberration or finally a changing of the guard from the LeBron thru KD/Steph era. I'm still having difficulty picturing any of the final 4 teams as ones which could become mini-dynasties.
I hope Giannis and the Bucks win. I hate how the media always tries to get stars that exit early traded to bigger markets. I was glad he re-signed and I hope he gets rewarded for it.
I’ve heard all Day that many of the recent super teams didn’t win their first year.
And then subsequently discarded that take into the round file. Kyrie is a mental case. Harden disappears in big playoff games. I do give him a hall pass for the last series though. At least He had the sack to suit up.
Durant is great. And back in the day when you’re guy averaged 40 ppg, that was enough. Now you need one of those games, every other game and 2 others to average close to 20 ppg.
It’s weird how you’re not allowed to hardly touch the guy with the ball. But the guys that have the ball in their hands are hurt at an alarming rate nowadays.
The unintended consequence of load management I suppose.
Can’t wait to see the ratings for the Phoenix Milwaukee series.

Holiday and Middleton were great down the stretch.
Not one player on the Nets' bench attempted a single field goal the entire game.
But it’s hard to get a bunch of quitters over the hump.
Nate ain’t great but He’s better than shitty Doc Rivers.
You can't play 4 on 5 and win playoff games.
No dynasty
New players applying for best in the game today
Missing superstar (s)
Wide open i don't care who wins entertain me
There will be a Book Report due after these finals.
