Who was your player of the game for Game 2? (There are a few options!!)
Lets Go PAT!!!
Really good win tonight without Giannis, GREAT BALL MOVEMENT all game long.
I guess Coach Bud went on autopilot and let the bucks play how they wanted. That's the only way they win. I must admit, however, Coach Bud subbing in Thanasis, Meyers & Mar-Jon with one minute left in the game was a real tactical move on his part .Even Thanasis the Cheerleader thought it was funny 🤸🤸♂🤸♀🤼🤹♀😁They had a combined score of ZIP/ ZERO / 4 GOOSE EGGs 🥚🥚🥚🥚
Those shots were falling falling!!
Great win for the bucks tonight. Wasn't sure what to expect? I'm just sick of the buok's coming out and losing game 1 In these series I feel like game 3 is a must win Psychologically we don't want the miami heat thinking they can compete with us And actually win the series
Bobby’s a DAWGGGGG!!
Jrue has 27 assist only 4 TO in 2 games, which needs to continue for the entire playoffs
15 wins left #OneAtATime 🦌🦌🦌
Pat is back🔥🙌🏾
WE SHOULD PUT 1 MORE 3-PT FOR THE ALL-TIME 1ST RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate to say it, but Crowder looks slow & old.
Jrue Holiday for President??? or Prime Minister here in Australia. Either way he has my vote
First half of the 4th quarter really got me worried! fortunately we got 30 points lead at the end of 3rd quarter!
Great Win for the Bucks, thanks to the team effort!!.
Now all we need is a healthy Giannis for game 3.
Bucks in 6. Lets GOOOOO!!!
BEGIN THE DRUBBING! The Heat never knew what hit them!
As a fellow aussie Kane it was great to see Jingles off the bench coming up big, massive performance from Pat and Splash Mountain dominated the paint 💚💚🇦🇺
Did any reporters even ask Bud why Pat wasn't in the rotation in Game 1? He should at least have to answer for that when a guy was such a difference maker. +18 in only 11 first-half minutes. Now: Will Bud be smart enough to play him in Game 3 or is he going to bench him again and say, "nope, don't need the guy who scored 22"? Crowder showed again that he's not the player we thought he was. When it was a 30-point game, he somehow was -3. They can't play at the pace they want when Jae's on the floor and he's just not the same defender he once was. Keep giving those minutes to Pat and tell Jingles to keep shooting. Then this team can play at that fast, high-scoring pace.
The fact that they put up 138 points without Giannis AND with only EIGHT free throw attempts is impressive. That was some impressive shot making. 🎯
That what Jimmy get for disrespecting this bucks team hope he see that beat down . Never dis the bucks on i.g again now see what happens
Obviously…. I mean obviously we want Giannis on the court asap but they do seem to have better spacing and no one is standing around watching in Playoff games he couldn't play.
I usually need to listen to the audio cuz I’m at work but was able to make it home to watch this.
LOVE I was able to finally watch a VICTORY!
Thanks for sharing your insights!!
(Kane, your lead-ins to the sponsors are 2nd to none and I get a laugh at some)
Keep up the amazing job you’re creating!!🎉😂❤
I was at the game – I honestly would have ideally would have liked to say someone else but my answer is definitely Joe Ingles. Great game – and gave the crowd the best authentic hype (kill any chance if the heat) moments. Great game all around – Jrue also of course had a somewhat low key amazing team friendly game
Yes… 👏👏👏💪
Bucks can never win in a game where they lose Giannis but they always stand a really good chance when they don’t have Giannis from the start
Where was this brook Lopez in game one?
better game from jrue, this what i wanted to see from him and they finally made their 3's
Need 2021 playoff Pat back
This game reinforces my belief that Giannis should play off the ball on offense and the others be more involved, especially Grayson. The Bucks are doing the opposition a favor when Giannis initiates offense from a half court set, putting him and the ball in the same place. I’d rather see him get his points from offensive rebounds and defensive breakdowns in the paint.
sell giannis to shanghai sharks, we are wayy better without him…………[just a joke]

Playoff Pat. Dudes been a sniper in the post season for us since he showed up.
I was surprised they did not play Connaughton last game. He is a proven post season scorer. All that being said, they can't expect to go 50%+ from 3 for most games, and will need Giannis back soon.
When Pat went downhill and got the layup I knew it was gonna be a long night for Miami – he a pro and has played in BIG GAMES and MADE BIG SHOTS – he has some left – Pat changed the whole game – give him the game ball 🏀 – fear the 🦌
They went to the post and it opened up the shooting, set the tone and the team got into rhythm. That’s how we beat Miami. They can’t stop it!!!! I said this in yesterdays video!
Put the heat packs on Giannis's back and those shooting hands for Saturday. Good to see Playoff Pat make an impact after a rough regular season.
Luv u guys
I'm starting to wonder if the problem in Phoenix was Jae and not just management.
Jae looks actually timid of shooting the ball. He appears to avoid it at all costs. They may need to find some ways to involve Jae offensively and build his confidence in knocking down open looks off assists.
I believe he made a defensive impact, but to what degree, I can't say.
He appears to be higher maintenance than what we're used to from bucks players.
Fingered…
Moistly
Nothing like a good Buck!
Look up the Ishaya's Ascension
True Bucks fans was not worried, we don't do things like that…especially against The "Miami Weak "..

Must win game
I hope they didn't use up all their 3s in this game. I remember what happened last year with the Boston series. Or just last game for that matter. The Bucks have great shooters but sometimes they have the tendency to go stone cold all at the same time.
If they had the same 3pt % as in the first game they would have lost 122 – 99. The bucks biggest opponent is themselves.
Looks like the Bucks shooters have to shoot close to 50-60 3's to find a rhythm lol. The same thing happened when Giannis was injured after the game against Atlanta sometime in February (until then they had shot badly in the year) and the rhythm was maintained the when he returned I hope they keep it up. In basketball, Lopez played an excellent game and Pat's slightly more all-around game is always going to add something to the one-dimensional Bucks offense.
Not impressed and definitely not happy when you have to shoot 25 threes to win a game. The team has no plan when threes are not falling.
Hopefully Bud replaces Grayson with Pat..and they were great in the first half and 3rd i didn't like it in the 4th quarter they were just shooting up 3s and the lead started going down. Jae have not been good.
