For once, i actually agree with Perkins. To say that the number 1 team in the league (that dominated even without Giannis) losing to a play-in 8 seed (who also lost 2 major players to injuries) isn't a failure is wild to me. If any other superstars said what Giannis said after losing, they wouldn't be celebrated for it. Plus Giannis missing all those free throws didn't help either.
Coach spo is one of the greatest coaches you will see, now he adds to his resume leading a 8 seed to one of the biggest playoff upset in recent history. You can never count out a great coach and obviously having jimmy turn into Jordan out in a series, but I’m not sure we see this kind of jimmy butler evolution if he never joined coach spo.
Kawhi to Milwaukee. The Cyborg and Greek Freak duo would be the most humble, noble, underrated(untill the 4 peat thall happen because they will get Luka to take some of the offensive load away from the aging super champions and you know what else that binds them besides Durant stoppers, they're both fun guys. Huha uhaha hauh ha😅
Middleton to the knicks ??
As I said, Bucks is over rated washed team, with over rated washed player Cryianns Fraudetokounmpo, the most embarrassing Top seed playoff who got eliminated in round 1 , Bucks will have a new coach next season definitely
I gotta stop being a bucks fan for another 10 years if Milwaukee trades Giannis and doesnt surround a new team around him and pick up his extension. These grimey media people always dragging our talented players into their major mefia markets
His accent throwed me off
Thank you perk when kd got swept with patty mills next to him there was no love lost on twitter or in the media. But with Gianni’s its he’s still the best and such a great guy???? NAH cook him
That shot Himmy Buckets made truly was incredible. The pass had to be perfect. He's in mid-air, catches it with one hand, and flings it to the hoop while coming down. Buckets bucked the Bucks.
Those first 2 MJ stats is insane. 112 and 105 points scored in a 2 game span. But in today's social media era people are going to say it was a failure because he didn't win a ring those 2 years.
STOP THE CAP. THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS FAILED.
THIS series loss was on Budholzer…..
Perks entire career was a failure if we wanna play that game
so, LBJ has won half his rings in Heat uniform and is only 3rd best playoff performer on that team.
In LA he ranks below 6-7.
My god, the GOAT narrative is really produced. 😂😂
Y’all realize Jimmy pushed the defender out the way before the oop😭😭😭😭
The Most SELFISH Of All Time jorbum LoL 😂😂😂
Before the media starts brainwashing y’all gullible little minds that was not a collapse Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat came to play you saw a superstar do what great players do take over series They just need a hot topic to talk about
Because it's scripted.
The biggest reasons for the Bucks' collapse vs. the Heat…………should be a photo o coach Bud and not a 12.25 long video!
Giannis answer was so weak. Why are they defending him?
Can the heat win the ship
Like me, I'm sure you're all here for Windy The God: 7:50
Playoff Jimmy is the closest thing to Jordan in the NBA today.
Playoff P is the closest thing to garbage in the NBA today.
perk singin alicia keys caught me off guard haha
Butler came through and Giannis fell apart at home from the FT line. Every putback Bam made was very crucial to the Heat win last night.
When Giannis was addressing to the reporter about the question by Eric he did it in such a good way. He made Eric think about sum that’s obvious but a good question for him
This is the first time I agree with perk… if this was curry, kd or Lebron loosing to a 8th seed everyone would’ve been flaming them on social media.
because the Bucks are OVERRATED !!!
You all said the Bucks in 5 😂😅😂
Giannis was right, the season was not a failure.
Perk was right if the question had been different. The series was a failure.
Coach Bud will be gone shortly.
Losing in the first round being the best in the league, is a complete failure. Coaches and players need to go.
as an aside, great move by the Cavs to dump Love so Dean Wade can play, and then benching him
and picking up Danny Green so he could run up and down the court doing nothing
Best play of the game was when J Butler obviously pushed away Pat C to get the last shot. If I was the coach of Bucks I will Challenge that play.
That said mj scored 66 each game for 2 games? He’s never scored over 63?
Perkins are serious right now.. just think and shot ur mouth.. u are a player before, u are the best failure for your team men..
The bucks will be back next year with the same cast Giannis confirmed it.
Wonder if this’ll be another “luck” year for the heat, like the bubble was a luck year, cause it wasn’t like the best players wasn’t hurt or anything 👀
See perk, easy downvote
You simply cannot miss 13 FREE THROWS in an OT game. Period.
Exactly Perk
Giannis is a bust and so are the bucks as a team. 2021 was a fraud
Perkins u was never on Giannis level was your career a failure
Father and Son in the same list
Giannis has shown no signs of wanting out of Milwaukee and his post game comment imply the exact opposite.
Keep doubting them Dade goons
I feel like Giannis getting coddled way too much. I really like him but if any other player, matter of fact, I'll name some. Lebron, Trae, KD, Kyrie, Devin Booker, PG, Westbrook, Embiid, Harden. If any of them said what he said would we be praising him. Actually if what Giannis is being praised then how is the GOAT conversation still being had cause by that logic no great player can win every year right??? I mean help me understand cause I do not understand.
Trade Middleton + Picks for Damian Lillard
