We just have to avoid giving credit to the Bucks at all cost don't we? You're acting like the Bucks shot perfectly on unguarded catch and shoot jumpers, when that wasn't the case. Every team gets a couple unguarded jumpshots a game, that doesn't change how impactful Andre Jackson Jr, AJ Green, Giannis, Brook, etc. were in taking OKC out of their comfort zone and making them rely on jumpers to beat them. Not to mention Giannis allowed the Bucks to freely score on just about every possession he got an elbow iso, post touch, or initiated pick and rolls. The Bucks scored on 10 of 12 of Giannis's post ups. They had a great offense, the pace of the game was just slow which lead to the lower scoring numbers, plus not starting out shooting well
Also, come on man, Luka and Tatum above Giannis for MVP? Shai above Giannsi for MVP? Are we fking serious? He's obviously played at minimum, a top 2 level this year. He's apporaching being a high enough seed with a good enough record to win MVP. To say pulling off a massive win in a high stakes situation doesn't influence or enhance his MVP case just seems wrong. He's more than deserving of MVP especially with his defense being as excellent as it's been especially recently. Genuinely DPOY/ All Defense level right now. Jokic and Shai are the only peopel I'll here out, Shai purely because of the record while still being a 30, 5, and 6 guy and Jokic because his impact and statline has been outrageous. However, purely off of performance Giannis has performed bo worse than 2nd best player in the world this season and I think he's been the best.
Milwaukee won because Oklahoma shot 5/32 or 15.6% on three-pointers and especially 29/86 or 33.7% on two-point field goals. Any team that played against Oklahoma that night would have beaten them because with this shooting percentage, as well as the total number of assists of 13 in 48 minutes of play.
They have to go through Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavs to be in NBA finals agn I can't see them beating Boston 4 out of 7 games and Cleveland can beat mil buckw
Trash analysis by Moore. The Bucks had a 101 offensive rating cuz they started running clock w/ a lead, were up by enough there was no foul & chase, then brought in their scrubs. Total abuse of that stat. Giannis was having his way, Dame did well, their good shooters were hitting. & the Bucks' stifled SGA, didn't give up many open, rhythm 3's to their bad shooters. They were down by 20. That's luck but not the Bucks, w/out stars, having 4 narrow losses to Cavs/Celts.
