[Bill Simmons] “The Bucks are not the team I fear in the East as a Celtics fan. From a well-coached standpoint, really grim… The team I fear in the East is Miami. This is their deepest team during the Butler run… Jaquez is not only perfect for them, but I love him, and I hate the Heat…”

Fuck this clown.
Tries to act like he ain’t scared of Giannis and Dame but he’s scared of Butler and a rookie who’s been over hyped cause he’s dropping 10 ppg.
In my experience the NBA Media tends to hate Milwaukee in general. Their wet dream was getting Giannis out of Milwaukee because they see him as “stuck” in Milwaukee. Why would anyone choose to live in Milwaukee. Then that didn’t happen so they hate us even more. Now it just fuels our drive to win, baby! Bucks in 6!
I’m a biased as hell homer so I respect Bill’s takes even if I know they’re as bad as mine. If you gave me a microphone every day I’d be talking shit about all of our rivals any time the opportunity came up.
I think he’s right. We have better players, but Miami is the best coached team in the east. Miami manipulates the rules to the best of their ability. They flop and draw dangerous charges more than any other team. It’s a downright amoral and ugly way to play, but it wins playoff games. I wish the NBA would actually do something about flopping. Maybe let coaches challenge a flop and if they challenge is successful, the flopper is ejected. Allowing flopping turns off casual fans and adds no value to the product.
