So I guess Bucks will now win Games 5 & 6 then make us sweat Game 7?
Or are they going lay down and die like a dog?

Its nut cuttin time. Do or die. Hope they can get it done. Cant watch it here, I don't get NBA TV.
I think they gut out a win tonight and lose in Miami on Friday.
Jrue Holiday is getting cooked by Gabe Vincent.
Giannis air ball on a 3.
Bucks down 6. Grayson Allen is unplayable.
Holiday is struggling as bad as I've ever seen. He's making playoff Eric Bledsoe look good. He's 0 for 3 with a turnover. Gabe Vincent has 9 points on him.
Miami is 4 for 7 from three.
Down 8. They have to get Holiday right somehow. He's mentally gone right now

Seeing Miami’s shooters get their shots off in sometimes tight places vs Allen needing to be wide open to even take a shot is very eye-opening!
Middleton and Giannis start 7 of 9 from the floor.
The rest of the team starts 2 for 10.
Giannis gets his second charge. That changes the game. If you flop enough, I guess they'll call it.

That was no flop

They made a huge mistake not moving on from Allen after the Celtics series last year. It was obvious his slow release was a problem against teams with big wings last year.
I think they wanted to play Crowder for a lot of Allen's minutes, but Crowder is right up there with the Ibaka and Mirotic acquisitions the last few years in terms of how useless he turned out to be. It would have been nice to have DDV instead of Allen.
Another phantom call on the Bucks. Lopez doesn't tough Adebayo- shooting foul anyway.

The first call was not a charge.
@Goalline posted:Holy shit, Bud is put of his element. Badly outcoached.
Ingles, Allen, and Crowder are complete liabilities in playoff games. Some of it's on Bud, but a lot of this is on Horst. Jevon Carter can't play in this series either.
Connaughton is the only bench player that isn't playing like a deer in the headlights.
Everything the Bucks do is labored. Everything the Heat does looks effortless. Their coach is setting them up for easy buckets.

Spoelstra is better than Bud, but the Bucks swept them 2 years ago, largely because Bryn Forbes went 16 for 30 from three from games 2-4.
Gabe Vincent, Strus, and Duncan Robinson are hitting threes.
The Bucks equivalent role players are Jae Crowder and Jevon Carter and they are 3 for 19 from the floor and unplayable.

Bucks finally getting some calls, but Giannis has to stop bricking FTs.
Giannis' FTs are going to sink them. He misses two FTs and then turns it over for a layup on the other end. Just gave away 4 points.
Bud takes Giannis and Middleton out for the last possession and the Heat get a gigantic wide open 3 to cut it to 6. Just a disastrous sequence.
The Bucks have worked their asses off and can only muster a 3 point lead? Bud isn't helping them.
Just a disastrous start to the second half after giving up a 3 at the buzzer at the end of the first.
Heat go 8-0 in about 75 seconds.
Middleton is scoreless since the first quarter.
Bucks down 2.
Finally, the Bucks get a wide open look. Of course, Jrue missed it.
G. Allen's technical seemed to light a fire. Kevin Love's ridiculous flop fired them up.
Holiday with more terrible offense. 5 for his last 12 from three

FTFY. Story of the series.
If Jrue is even semi-competent on offense this is a completely different series.
Middleton goes off and it's a 16 point lead.
They did lead by 12 with 6 minutes left in Game 4, so obviously far from over.
Just get it to Game 6 and maybe we finally get another good Holiday game on offense.
Bucks had a chance to stretch this to 20+ with Butler on the bench and go scoreless over the first 3 minutes.
Lead is 11.
Butler has been resting. Very quickly from a 16 point lead with several chances for 18 or 19 down to a very dangerous time.
