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. -
Harden was awful in the 4th and OT. Couldn't throw the ball in the ocean if he tried.
Not one player on the Nets' bench attempted a single field goal the entire game. -
I got the Suns winning this whole thing. They got the look.

Wow. Doc Rivers is a shitty coach.
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.

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.TheKobeStopper said:I think the Bucks did enough for that to be a respectable win.

Doc has always been a shitty coach and his Celtics championship would have been won by 95% of coaches. That team coached itself.Kaepsknee said:Wow. Doc Rivers is a shitty coach.

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

I don't know if Ben Simmons is the best worst player of all time or the worst best player of all time.

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.
