HIMMY BUTLER
THE BUCKS ARE DOWN 3-1? TO THE 8TH SEED? WHO CAME IN THROUGH THE PLAY-IN GAME? HOLYYYYYY
Previously the arena is the house of D.Wade & now by J.Butler
Hard to believe they’re doing this without Herro in the line up as well
GIANNIS looked like a clumsy giraffe lol
JIMMY BUTLER LOOKING LIKE MVP STEFH AND PRIME HARDEN WITH ELITE DEFENSE OUT THERE AMAZING PREFORMANCE CONGRADULATIONS
2:19 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE SON OF MICHAEL JORDAN!
Bucks just shut down 😅
satisfying lose
As I said, Bucks are biggest choker of the playoff, Giannis is washed up, he needs team up to another choker Donovan to have multiple chips, it's hard to win 3 straight against Miami
Giannis was playing clumsy asf at the end trynna injure someone lol
You can tell he wants the ball in this moment a clear sign of a superstar. Remember last year against Boston when he had the ball and was coming down the floor and had to take the three now this year I think he improved his 3pt shooting but didn't let anyone noticed that in the regular season but you'll see more this playoff.
Disgusting performance by the Bucks. Huge changes if disqualified.
THIS IS UNREAL…
I WILL BIGGEST SHOCK IF MIAMI HEAT IS BECOME 6TH TEAM TO BE #8 BEAT #1 LIKE MILWAUKEE BUCKS

Neither of teams will get steamrolled by the sixers. See you in eastern conference finals 😂
