Giannis out. Portis gets the start.

Obviously nervous for this one.
Miami now has the two best players on the floor in Butler and Adebayo.
The Bucks have the next 4 best players: Middleton, Holiday, Lopez, Portis.
You could also argue that Ingles and Crowder are better than the 3rd best player Miami has.
Is having the best two players in a game enough? It often is.
My god has Crowder been terrible.
He's looked unplayable so far in this series.
I can’t believe the game is blacked out. Can’t get on YouTube tv
Bucks up 7 after one.
Jimmy Butler keeping the Heat in this. He's 5 for 5. The rest of the Heat are 5 for 16.
I was shocked that Connaughton didn't play in Game 1 at all. He's a guy that gets better in the playoffs. The guy was on the court for big minutes in the NBA Finals and then not a minute in Game 1?
Amazing how the score changes when the teams shooting 60% vs. 20% from three reverse.
Up 26 at the half. Tremendous half. Was 32 until the Heat had a mini-run to get to within 26. The Bucks need to hold serve in the third and make this a Thanasis-Udonis Haslem matchup in the 4th quarter.
Whoever wins this series in the end, I would not want the Heat's future.
They owe 50 million dollars to Duncan Robinson and Kyle Lowry next year.
They owe at least 50 more million total over the next 3 years to Duncan Robinson alone.
Announcers doing more cleanup on Reggie MIller's idiotic comment about Herro being a bigger loss than Giannis.
A sloppy start to the half. Need to focus and put this away.
Heat open the half on a 7-0 run.
19-6 run over the last 4 minutes of game time.
JFC. Get it together.
Good to see Planet Pat show up after a horrible regular season
Could easily make the case for Jrue being team MVP for 2022-2023
About the worst start to the 2nd half as you could think of
Bucks always seem to not liking things to be too easy for them
I'll be worried if the lead is 12 or less after the 3rd

All the free streaming sites have it...watching from Mexico on TopStreams
Don't even think of f****** this up
Restored the focus and this one is over now. Up 34.
Bucks score 26 points in 6 minutes.

Bucks seem to like giving up big runs at the ends of quarters/halves but Bobby seems determined to stop this trend now.
What a show they’re putting on!
Who the hell is this Ingles guy?

Future World Champion Milwaukee Buck
21 for 35 from three tonight.
11 for 45 in Game 1.
32 for 80 overall.
Bucks needed a game like this, but have to be careful not to fall in love with 3pt shot. I doubt they make 25 bombs again in the playoffs, but what they need to do is continue pounding the ball inside as well as pass to the open guy. Ball rotation was excellent in game 2.
Despite the game being a blowout, Miami still shot the ball relatively well and forced 17 turnovers. Why I think that’s important is in the first two games the Heat have clearly played better (shooting) than their season averages. Over the course of a series that should even out a bit so Miami is due for a clunker of a game (or two) whereas the Bucks already had that type of game on Sunday.
I also think if Giannis can return it will really neutralize what Bam has been doing offensively which puts a lot more pressure on Butler and the others to carry the offensive load. Bam has basically given them 20 points per game but he’s done so without having a guy like Giannis harassing him. Simply put, if Bam isn’t giving them 20 PPG I don’t know how Miami can score enough without Herro unless their bench guys go crazy. Possible, but not likely.
Good mojo and momentum going into Miami now focus on getting game 3 and then hopefully Giannis can come back by game 4 to hopefully get this to a game 5 close out in Milwaukee.
Duncan Robinson got hot in garbage time. Obviously, that will be a focus if he gets minutes going forward - running him off the 3 point line.
Caleb Martin is 5-7 in this series and he shoots about 35% from 3. Gabe Vincent is 8-14 in this series and he shoots 33% from 3. Those two guys are over 60% from 3 and that should even out.
Strus and Butler are slightly better than their regular season shooting in this series from 3.
Robinson can shoot, but him hitting 4-6 shouldn’t be the norm either.
If the Bucks can continue to light it up from beyond the arc with Antetokounmpo back in the lineup, the Heat -- and the rest of the league -- will be in trouble.

That's all I ever wanted. Giannis and Brook inside with help from Portis plus other guys banging threes - pick your poison dickheads! How you wanna die?
