He Bill Buckner'd!

Damn.

I wouldn't blame this loss on coaching (even though it was some of the worst defense I've seen this postseason), but it adds to the laundry list of all-time chokejobs by Rivers-led teams. Haven't seen a last-minute collapse like that in a playoffs game since G5 of Clippers-Thunder in 2014.

I'm not even mad, especially since it would've been our last win of the postseason in any case. After all, I couldn't have asked for this season—the most miserable of Giannis's entire superstardom—to end any sooner. I'm just genuinely amazed that a run-of-the-mill role-player like Trent could've both carried us through and cost us the same game.

Let's see how the Bucks brass decide to blow it up this off-season.

It's ok Bucks fans, you still have the NBA Cup

Is there any way of blaming Doc for that? If so, can someone find one.

It's the accumulation of bad mistakes throughout the whole series.

One of the biggest ones is even though he switched the lineups taking Kuzma and Prince out of the starting lineup he continued giving them minutes even though they were providing the team with almost nothing. Give the vet Pat Connaughton in place of one of them some burn.

It didn't look negative to me, but I can see how it could have because Giannis was in his face and he was towering over him. But if you watch his dad's reaction it's positive and then when they break apart Giannis gives a thumbs up.

I think he was just giving props to his son or something.

Haliburton said his father mocked Giannis with caused the exchange.

[Meticode]

The exchange makes sense now if you watch this...

The corpse of Khris Middleton would have given more offense then mid tweener Kuzma such a lousy trade.

After the game on Inside the NBA, Ernie, Kenny and Chuck got in an argument with Shaq about the whole Haliburton father thing. Shaq called Giannis' actions soft and when he was in the league it was part of the game for stuff like that to happen. Ernie, Kenny and Chuck were of the opinion that fans or parents of players shouldn't be coming onto the court right after the buzzer and shoving towels of their son in players' faces saying "you're f*cking nothing". Which is roughly what Haliburton's father did to Giannis.

It was actually pretty funny to see Shaq act like a toddler sometimes. Ernie had the best comment to Shaq, "Being respectful isn't being soft." Shaq's argument was basically, "I was in the league 19 years and it was part of the game."

[Nowoco]

I wouldn't miss Shaq one bit if he wasn't on that show. Just arguing for the sake of arguing.

"I would have just got over it and moved on"

Coming from the most sensitive fragile ego'd guy in the business. Of course you would have Shaq.
