Khris Middleton On The Bucks Getting Torched By Playoff Jimmy Butler 

worst answer from any quest recently lol

@@lpy1102 for real. IMO, PJ Tucker and Tim Legler have been by far the best guests

@@FSVR54 yup, but I would like see Paul George and JJ Reddick having a crossover podcast, that will be fantastic

Lmaooooooo!!!!!!

@@lpy1102if khris changed teams in the offseason, i can guarantee you that he would be much much MUCH more exact about the mistakes and reasons why they lost. Imo its a lesson for jj here, that its not realistic to bring on number 2 guy on a team that just FAILED their expectations and expect that guy to go in detail of what exactly went wrong... He even said "we studied it, we watched it, we learned from it" which means they probably had a team film session and coaches told then who effed up on each critical possesion, but khris wont just throw his team under the bus - which is very logical to me. Its like if you invited steph and expect him to talk in detail of klays mistakes

I really don't think people are talking about that nearly enough, yea it was a collapse, but their head coach was not in a mental space to go and no one should blame him. Giannis being hurt just made it look even worse

@@shangojackson60 Excuse after excuse!! When will Bucks fans just admit they got outplayed 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Loool bud is known to never make adjustments

@@chocothunder387 his footwork is a skill his playmaking is a skill his defensive timing is a skill, he’s improved as an all around player every year he didn’t just put on 50 pounds of muscle and magically become a great player. Second of all have we just forgotten that shaq existed if you’re able to physically dominate why would you make things harder on yourself and your team. Also he’s one of 6 active players to be the best player on a championship team team he doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone. What I will critique is his freethrow shooting, that’s one thing he hasn’t improved on and he needs to get better at, and it may be more of a mental thing, in the close out finals game he shot 17-19 from the line and then this year closed out the series by shooting 10-23. I can fully concede that Giannis let his team down by being awful from the line in that game, and in that same game he had 38 and 20. He doesn’t need to change the way he plays or move away from the paint to please fans, but he can improve on his shooting ability especially from the line. That is one skill that he lacks consistently. There’s only 1 player in the word better than giannis and Giannis don’t need to play like jokic to be successful they both dominate the game in different ways

@@Treyball67 he has no footwork lol. League lets him travel and push-off like Lebron. Two manufactured stars, zero ball skills

He’s high asf

Probably high on painkiller drugs lol

Happens when you deal with traumatic events 🤣

He’s playing it safe 😂

​@@Cashmoneez😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead

thanks

JJ best work is still in front of him@@JJRedick

​@@JJRedickthank you for your hard work Mr plumber

I blame bud. No way they should have lost that serious

Giannis has been consistent in his deference to Bud so it's really on Bud imo

Yes but then you now have brook lopez guarding pick & rolls instead of being the help side defender. While obviously you’d prefer Giannis in help, Brook is a + defender in help and a liability on ball against 80% of the leagues Not saying you’re right or wrong but there’s pros and cons to every gameplan. I’m sure they just didn’t think Jimmy was good enough to basically avg 40 on the best perimeter defender in the L

Maybe, but Giannis worked on Jimmy so well the first time in 2021 largely because he gave Jimmy a ton of space on the perimeter and dared him to shoot the 3, then took away his drives to the rim because of this. Jimmy shot 44% from 3 against the Bucks in 2023, so it's a different story.

@@deez9805Or they thought it was gonna be like what happened against the nets with KD. They probably thought they could let Jimmy do his thing and try to beat them on his own and he never wore down and the bucks weren’t their best.

About about

@@NBAStatsGuru lmao thank you

@@JJRedick being about?

Pro Athletes don't call losses a fluke or luck.

​@@quiteknight50Tatum implied Miami's bubble run was a fluke, same as Giannis. Literally everyone implied Miami making it 2 straight ECF and 2 finals in 4 years was "luck" and a "fluke".

@@Aerolian word? I mean the bubble makes a little sense. Anyone who does under any other circumstances are petty. I Don't like tatum and giannis anyway.

@@Aerolian Giannis said they were built for the bubble. He basically gave them credit but you choosing to take it as disrespect thats a you problem

@@quiteknight50unless ur LeBron of course

And we hope you never will

Recovered? You play for the bucks 🤣

Understandable that was a beat down

Me too! We didnt even get a final shot

@@user-op9gm3cb6yI hoped y’all wouldn’t get dame 😊

Folks forget that play

Yeah! I did some shorts on that shot! One of the perfectly well executed plays.

Really? Getting knocked around by Denver wasn't enough to wipe it away?

Heat fans love there almost championships only to get clapped the next year

@@alaye5583 where was your team? oh, at home I forgot haha

@@SMade33 yeah you are exactly right and I wasn't smiling.

Same, glad to see Giannis being exposed as Greek Yogurt more than anything. When he can't just run and dunk, he is essentially Dan Gadzuric

Cheers!

Alcohol? Weed? Cocain? Meth?

That's a huge deal!! Major props bruv

Couldn’t agree more. Especially in those final few games, I was begging for a switch, or a double, or anything other than what Butler made a clear mismatch the whole series

Coach Bud should've been fired much sooner. Makes 0 adjustments and isnt vocal enough to his players. What the hell does he do?

after game 3 it was clear Jrue couldn’t handle Jimmy, and they let him get sauced every game

Giannis is not a good on ball defender. Much better in helpside...2021 he locked up Jimmy partly because the Heat were fatigued from the short offseason after the bubble

@@atrain9610not true aaron gordon just locked him up🤦🏽‍♂️

@@KevooMufasa7excuses🥱

Bud always wants Giannis roaming in the paint... he doesnt adjust and Butler could've dropped 100 points he wouldn't change a thing.

Dumb Logic but ok🤷🏾‍♂️🙄🙄

@@dewaynerobvais4030 which means....send double team and idk why they underutilized the pickup of jae crawford....Poor coaching on Bud as usual.

Thats should tell you some things if you read between the lines

@@GibranCamus-fh2wkdam lmfaooo

he's not a good interview

Who would have known how quick things would change lol

@@trevorburton3290 so true I expect a bounce back season from Pat & Jae

Def better then Ramona

They got a ring to console them, what do the Heat have?

Multiple?

@@alainlamour5868 yes

3 rings actually. And about to get Dame and a 4th. I promise this wasn't the dig you thought it was lol@@lm7_gio

@@chill1224. no no, I mean we have multiple rings in response to the first guy. You can’t be new kid on the block about winning and try and big bro Heat fans. We BEEN UP.

Butler Owns them Frauds!! We knew 2021 was a fluke 🤷🏾‍♂️

​@@dewaynerobvais4030I don't remember but wasn't giannis injured???

@@burrybondz225 Here we go again, Stop using those damn injuries as excuses!! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

@@burrybondz225the only game they won was the game he missed 🤣🤣

​@@burrybondz225yeah Bucks win one game without him

Excuses as always 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Why do you care ?

Revenge 😂😂 sit down Bucks fan!!

Herro breaks his hand and dipo tears his patella no reason for yall to lose

*No Herro *No Oladipo *Heat played 2 play-in games *8th seed *Bucks blowout Heat without Giannis in game 2( media clown the Heat that time) *JIMMY BUTLER dropping 56 on Bucks while having 3 all-nba defense on their starting line up

Jimmy doesn't have one though 😄😜🤙

Delusional Bucks fans as always!! That ring in 2021 was a Anomaly and can only happen with injuries and Luck 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@adamstewart247 😂 Kyle and Kevin do though… so there’s that. Spo has more than Giannis… Pat Riley has more than the entire Bucks organization.. see how silly this can get?

​@@danielbrown4395💯

Not with anyone in that squad. Oh, Haslem :)

Facts plus he missed damn near 20 free throws in the elimination game. Coach bud can’t help him with that

Wuddup, Steph

Facts.

You can't remember your name

Yeah they didn’t lose because of the guy that averaged 38-6-5 on 60% shooting

I mean the heat dismantled the bucks in 5 games and it wasn't even a close series so I wouldn't really consider that being "robbed" but okay

@@heatvshaters420ehhhh tbh that would’ve been a better matchup than the heat… Jokic and Murray was eating on them made the nuggets look like they was playing a make a wish team i feel brook lopez would have “contained” Jokic better than Bam

Okay and the heat might have matched up with the warriors better than the celtics did in 2022, but they didn't make it, so that argument is invalid. I'll never understand people who make the hypothetical "what if" arguments. It's not even like the Bucks were close to making the finals@@Averagedre

@@heatvshaters420 it wasn’t a what if its a fact bud the heat have never had size and you expect them to matchup well against the best big man in the league? thats why the bucks would’ve been a better matchup they have better size

massive assumption to make from a podcast lol. "You can tell" Please, get real.

Excellent work

@@JJRedickConnectivity

Himmy Butler when he actually starts playing his hardest when games become meaningful😂

@@vampiricacademiaancientlib2225 he isn't clutch or good in the playoffs

NBA reviewed that play already. There was a miscall as there was a foul on the bucks before the pushoff, so it would have been free throws for Miami either way

@@aliqobe yeah but there is no guarantee of making both TF so

@@arnaudnirin3950no guarantee that shot goes in as well

@@jayzonsy3660 yeah but it went in so and also there is more pressure on the TF line when the game on the line.

A Lucky Ring🙄🙄 Wake me up when Bucks are actually a serious contending team 🥱🥱

@dewaynerobvais4030 if anything this ring means more than kds .. the grind don't stop..buks been on the Mapp

TELL HIM I SAID THANKS!

@@MrRufusRToyotaHE SAID, “YOU’RE WELCOME”.

​@@DeeRG he literally just showed all the players he avoided in losses 😂

Same like nets not getting kyrie hurt in that series bucks don’t win that series

@@heatvshaters420kd didn’t get hurt that year, kyrie did

Boi Stop with these delusional takes!! The one game y’all won was without Giannis and y’all steady saying this y’all must be that butt hurt 🤣🤣
