The Nets were just as favored as the Lakers were to get there but that Nets team who has to play a play-in game just to make the postseason obviously isn't the same squad that people looked at during the start of the season. I can't hold the Nets to those expectations given how they finished the final 50 or so games of the regular season.
Seeing the team the Celtics built is amazing they were patient with Tatum & Brown and now they have something good for years unlike the Lakers that just give away players for bums
I will never forget how earlier in the season Smart went crazy pointing out his team's problems on a press conference back when Boston was playing awful and that was the key for this team to change their mindset and became a championship contender... If they turn out being champs, he should get his props
The Bucks gave up too many 3s and when their opponents start to knock them, it's a really really big problem. Their role players didn't step up too and they missed Middleton big time.
Exactly, the defensive concept of giving role players that shoot a decent percentage open threes isn't a consistent one. And when Milwaukee doesn't pack it in as much, like in game 6, they get broken pretty easily
There defense is set up to give up the corner three in exchange for protection of drives to the basket. They were in danger for something like this to happen.
@@OEThe11 So what Heat can do differently to match up against Celtics? I mean I think Bucks are better team than the Heat so I don't see how the Heat can beat the Celtics to get a ticket to the Finals 😂
Alen and Wesley plus George hill are not playoff caliber players.who are the Bucks role players? The team has lots of holes to fill esp with Middleton out
When Giannis was subbed out the crowd gave him a standing O - that was HUGE to me. That guy showed up and played this series - even though it was a route, he was playing hard. 2 Likeable teams IMO
These 2022 Playoffs taught me that “Big 3” teams don’t work anymore. Top-heavy rosters just aren’t strong enough to go far because the depth of each franchise is so deep in today’s game. One or two superstars and a nice group of role-players / 3&D guys is the way to go. I hope the Lakers are aware enough to see that and step out of the Stone Age. That 2020 roster built around Bron & AD could’ve three-peated, and if they fix their mistakes this year, they can do damage next season.
@@daanishgupta this narrative of Big Three is getting old... Teams should not rely on stacking "superstars"... Basketball is a team game...

Both last years finalists out on the same day and both via blowout games. Last teams standing Nos 1 and 2 in the East and Nos 3 and 4 in the West. Crazy amf playoffs. I'm loving it!
They lost this game by 27. Middleton’s Injury was the bigger factor. Last year Milwaukee got lucky and got out of the second round because of injuries on the nets. This year injuries on their side make them lose. You win some you lose some
@@instatv_2975 giannis was injured against the hawks. The hawks were decent but they weren’t a top 2 team in the east. They got to the conference finals because they faced the trash knicks and the sixers choked. In fact both the suns and the bucks last year made the finals partly due to injuries on the other teams. It just shows how hard it is to consistently make deep runs and why players like Lebron and the warriors core should be appreciated more
@Marcos Gallardo not in order but giannis,lebron,Kd,Steph,Luka and then I’m going Tatum...and you can argue with either Tatum or Luka in that 5th spot...
I think that the Celtics are going to the finals, because I don’t think the Heat have enough star power on their team. Tyler Herro has not been playing well lately, and when the game is on the line, who’s gonna take the last shot??? Jimmy Butler??? Kyle Lowry???? Herro????? I can’t pick who’s gonna get it done
@@TheVegoran he ain't playing a washed james harden and injured embiid anymore. He's playing the best defensive team left in the celtics and he has to guard tatum and/or brown. It's gonna take the heat to play the best basketball this year to beat the celtics
The Celtics are the best team out of the current 4 remaining. They have synergy both offensively and defensively. Personally, I don't see anybody else beating them.
Celtics just knocked off both the teams everyone picked to win it all. Enough of the Middleton excuse the Celtics were without a starter pretty much the whole series. Celtics were just a better team💪☘️. If we had a healthy Robert Williams and they had Middleton we still would have won.
2017 draft: Boston walks in with the number one overall selection. They trade down to number 3. The trade was done with the Sixers. Philadelphia takes Markel Fultz, the Celtics takes a young man out of Duke….named….Jayson Tatum. The Sixers traded Fultz. Meanwhile, Tatum is an Allstar that will be playing in the Eastern Conference finals. Sixers still looking for a small forward….😒 Did I mention that Danny Ainge was behind this heist…🤔🤫
Fultz was a good pick. Unquestionably deserved #1. Nobody could’ve foreseen him getting in an accident and then having a peculiar injury. But hey that’s just the way the cookie crumbled 🤷♂️
Danny played well. He knew sixers were looking for a PG/ scorer cuz they have Harris,Simmons and embiid and lakers were pretty much sold on the hype for lonzo. If most teams are high on Tatum, DA won't trade down.
I saw this matchup not going well for the Bucs but I sure as heck didn’t see how the sons would lay down on their backs and just take it now I’m rooting for the heat and the Warriors
Boston vs Miami should be interesting. Offensively the Celtics are much better. The Heat’s defense should be the key. G7 is a high probability for ECF.
If GSW vs. BOS: Offense vs Defense If GSW vs. MIA: Battle of the 2 most successful organizations of the past 15 years If Mavs vs. Bos: Luka vs Tatum (Battle for the Best in NBA) If Mavs vs. Heat: Mavs - Heat rivalry part 3 No matter who goes to the finals, the fans win!
Heat in 6. Bams matchup is going to be the key aspect in the series.No-one on the Celtics can guard bam.i feel Jimmy butler on Tatum, PJ tucker on jaylen brown ,Lowry/Vincent on smart , bam on horford, Struss on williams.we match up well defensively against Celtics.Likewise the Celtics can guard the heat as well.Bam for sure is the x factor
Celtics could guard Giannis and Durant but not Bam? Bam whipped the Celtics in 2020 because the Celtics were playing small ball with Gordon Hayward and Theis at Centre. The kept running this Curl action with Dragic and Bam that was unstoppable. They won't have that this series.
If y'all don't believe me, let's see the first 2 games.For sure , the x factor will be bam. By the way, against KD and giannis it was overall team defence that kept them at bay, what I'm trying to tell us is a one on one situation.i don't think the Celtics consider bam to be worthy of a double team because your going to primarily focus on Jimmy.
@@45Dre they weren’t effortless when they got blown out by the ja-less grizzlies or when they barely won another game in that series. Dallas is better than Memphis. Luka right now, better than everyone besides steph maybe even better
