Hope Giannis is okay.
Middleton is keeping them from being blown out.

Fortunate to be down only by 9
All about the way the game has been officiated so far. Maybe the calls were right, but they all went Miami's way.
@MichiganPacker posted:Now two fouls on Giannis.
Miami's plan is to just flop as much as possible.
It's working so far.
Taking a page out of Bostons playbook.
Giannis heads to the locker room, again. Do the Bucks have a chiropractor on call?
Some major makeup calls happening now.
Bucks on a 7-0 run. Get the score within 3 43-40.
Middleton keep cooking
Nice put back by Holiday! Bucks now down by 1!
Very sloppy.
Terrible pass by Middleton. Miami on fire after that timeout.
Heat go 7-0 run after a timeout. Bucks down 8 again.
Bucks 3 for 16 from three.
3's just not going down for the Bucks.
Holiday has been terrible today.
There are "so clever"
They are FLOPPING
There's no answer for Butler tonight. Love heating up from the arc now
Miami playing about a perfect game
Holiday gets in foul trouble early and Giannis gets hurt. Bucks canât hit a 3 and Miami 6-11.
Heat are 6 for 11 from three.
The Bucks are 3 for 17.
Jae Crowder has been a liability so far. He's 0 for 4 from three, It's not just that he's missed but they all looked way off.

The answers are Holiday and Giannis. Giannis clamped him down the last playoff series.
But Giannis and Holiday both have two fouls, and on charges.
Giannis out for the game. It has to be bad.
All of sudden, Miami becomes the favorite in this series.
3 for 19 for the Bucks from three. Miami is 7 for 12. Both will eventually revert to the mean.
But Giannis being out and Grayson Allen disappearing are the real problems.
Bucks down 13 and I think this one may be over with Giannis out.
Holiday just leaving the court now spending a lot of time in animated discussion with one of the officials
Ingles and Allen just useless in this game

Any questions?

Even if the Bucks advance further into the playoffs, I never want Grayson Allen to play another playoff game for the Bucks. He has been a sieve on defense and has provided nothing on offense.
Middleton and Portis are 11 for 16 from the floor. Giannis was 2 for 4 before he left.
The rest of the team is 8 for 26. So much for the improved supporting cast.
@Tschmack posted:Ingles and Allen just useless in this game
They are both useless against the Celtics as well. They are unplayable against those types of teams.
Was finishing Brewer gameâĶwhat happened to Giannis?
8/14 vs 3/21 on Threes.
I'm wondering if the Bucks could have played any worse?
Giannis landed on his tailbone. Not good at all
The dreaded coccyx!

I thinks thatâs on the front, not the back.ð
Always loved that name.
Herro out for the game, and probably the series with a broken hand.
Maybe Holiday's discussions with the officials paid off?
More of that hooking crap the Heat often get away with. That's how you get guys hurt the way Vincent pulled Holiday down.

The supporting cast basically only shoots 3-pointers...tough to win a championship with that type of offense.
Herro out with a broken hand
Another flop. It might have been a foul on Middleton, but Adebayo didn't fling himself backwards until well after the initial contact.
This looks like 1980s NBA, bodies everywhere
4 for 23.
Lopez has been terrible.
