Giannis is the best player in the world, but last night Jimmy was the best player on the court and it wasn’t close
Playoff Jimmy is better than your favorite NBA player
At some point, people gotta accept that the Bucks are just Giannis, a mediocre coach and a bunch of glorified role players.
They were lucky to win that championship while everyone else was hurt. Now they are back to being an early exit team.
Guy on left butthurt 😭😭
Milwaukee’s depth was severely overrated coming into the playoffs and they’re old af. Middleton isn’t that guy anymore and Holiday is very unreliable offensively. Giannis has to carry them to give them a chance. This should've been evident after Boston went into Fiserv and curb stomped them but everyone looked past it and here we are
There's a big subset of journos who aligned sides are easy to see
Why can't they stop Jimmy Butler????
I don't understand this constant need to crown a player "the best player in the world" when none is clear-cut, especially off the back of yet another historical playoff performance by one Jimmy Butler. For me, it's Steph, for some it's Giannis, for some it's Jokic, etc. It's debatable, but to insert your choice in a sentence as if it's a matter of fact is a bit ridiculous to me.
Bucks probably still win this series
Glad that KOC's calling out Bud's dogmatism and stubbornness about his defensive schemes. Even Thibodeau is more flexible than him – he doesn't want to downsize either, but he'll give you different looks. To not trap Butler is just insane at this point. And let's not forget how his drop coverage almost cost them the series against a depleted Nets team two years ago with Durant being allowed to score in one-on-one situations all series long. Insane.
Jimmy is your favorite players favorite player. Post Season Jimmy is the most exciting player to watch ever
Man, you can't have a team that you should beat kick down your door for 41 in the Quarter let alone in the 4th. Props to Jimmy for being amazing, but damn if you don't adapt you die, and watching the Bucks going down with the ship was ugly. I guess we probably should get ourselves ready for the inevitable rubber match, Celtics vs. Heat III (because that is starting to feel like destiny).
lol bucks.
Jimmy Jordan Butler and the goonz from dade county are coming for them leprechauns to get their payback for last year an to turn them into Boston pack 💯😈
Chris Veron you got some splaining to do… we ain’t forgot about your grizzly are the shit melt down
I think the biggest thing was Butler was like 9 for 10 in the first quarter, had like 22, and kept the game from being a blow out in the first. If he doesn't do that, the game could have gotten out of control. Holiday can't be shooting that many 3s and they need Portis and Pat to hit. Still, Giannis… I don't count him out.
We appreciate the awe, But I do believe statistically speaking our bench through four games in the playoffs is the number one bench. And if not that only changed last night because Jimmy went f**** bonkers.
If Bucks lose, Coach Bud gets fired and Coach Nick Nurse gets hired.
Oh look it the guys who couldn’t stop taking about New Orleans& Memphis 😂😂😂😂😂 Clown 1 & Clown 2 don’t now shit
Please Bill Simmons stop hiring friends
Can Giannis carry his team on his back and claw for a win the way Jimmy Butler can? I think not. Butler has got to be the most underrated NBA player today.
The Heat disrespect everywhere is disgusting. Calling Milwaukee the better team 🙄 Gianni's got hurt but so did Herro. Bucks beat Miami without Giannis, and Miami beat them WITH him. All the media wanna talk about is his injury or how his team mates aren't good enough smh. JIMMY HAS 7 UNDRAFTED PLAYERS. They won the east 3 years ago, was a shot away last year, and about to knock out the 1 seed as an 8 seed. Give us our damn respect.
Future 30 for 30: The Legend of Playoff Jimmy
if Milwaukee doesn’t play every possession like their lives depend on it, they’re not winning three in a row
halfway through the video kevin o connor thinks of coach budenholzer and then is visibly pissed off for the rest of the episode
Darvin Ham really was coach buds greatest student, his lack of adjustments and no situational awareness is almost as good as budenholzer
If they lose this series Bud better be gone
I don’t think Verno knows Xs and Os lol when KOC is breaking down the adjustments that weren’t made he had no comment at all
HIMmy Get Buckets
Bucks win game 5, if they get game 6 which will be really tought they get game 7
Giannis would have 3 championships if Erik Spoelstra was his coach.
