HBO really blowing it with good shows terrible decision to not continue this series

This show should’ve gotten a third season

Didn’t realize that the shows finale was today until the epilogue occurred. What a terrible way to end a show. Disappointed that it was cancelled.

Damn this show could've been so much more..they could've did a winning time bulls dynasty next...smh was becoming one of my favorite shows

A third season would have been CRAZY! Magic being called Tragic, finally winning, then 1986 the Celtics drafting Len Bias, his death and the Celtics starting to spiral while the Lakers start to rise as the premier dynasty of the NBA. I would have paid great money for that season 3.

Disappointed this show got cancelled

I love that a young Kobe Bryant made an appearance on the show. As a life-long Lakers fan, that meant a lot to me ✌🏾💜💛

Yeah I’m with everyone. They had potential to show the Detroit Pistons rivalry and the end of showtime. This was rather abrupt to end the series just like that.

I don't know who that actor who played Larry Bird is but he was terrific.,

That really sucks that the show got cancelled! I was looking forward to the 86 Celtics and the beginning of how Larry and Magic became friends.

I dont know why this show would have been cancelled. Even non basketball fans enjoyed the show.

HBO screwed up bigtime dropping this show. The ending was ridiculous for a show about the Lakers

I'm extremely pissed off. By the way, they beautifully foreshadowed Magic Johnson's HIV diagnosis in the pilot. I just knew that was gonna be an amazing storyline for Quincy Isaiah to dig deep into. I feel robbed. This wasn't meant to be the series finale. That montage at the end, tho. I feel like the writers, directors, & producers had that ready to be added in just case. After they were notified that Winning Time was being canceled, they were like here you go just to quickly wrap up things.

This show should’ve been a miniseries anyway. All they needed was 3 more episodes for season 2.

Hopefully someone else picks up the show, there is clearly popularity. I can also see this show being more popular in 10 years than it was when it came out.

As a lifelong Celtics fan who loved that 80s Squad, I kinda love this ending. Lol. That being said, I loved the show more and yeah, it definitely should've gotten a third (and fourth) season. Ending it here is like ending Star Wars after Empire. It's so stupid. They should have at least given them another episode or two to wrap things up. At the very least.

Ending the series on a boston win just doesnt seem right. Kinda takes away from the very title of the show

The way this series started when Magic was at the Hospital getting tested I was thinking that that’s how the final season was going to end going back to that scene of the 1st season. instead it ends after 2 with so much more to show.

Wait a minute wait a MINUTE! The series ENDS in 1984? Not 1985?Who wrote this crap, a Celtics fan?

It’s as if this season was originally going to be 10 episodes, but got cut off at 7 with just a little note at the end that said, “And then this and this happened,” What a horrible series finale

Really a bummer we don't get a season 3. This was good stuff.

Well, I wanted to see in the next season how the friendship between Larry and Magic born, for me this will be a very interesting story, but with the recent news maybe this will be a dream

Hulu, Netflix please pick this shit up

Damn, the show deserved to go at least one more year! I loved it!

I will sadly miss this series. I LOVED IT.

I was so dumbfounded when I saw the montage at the end…this is winning time, not losing time. that’s when I knew there wasn’t gonna be a season 3

Love the series

Dang, can't believe it's canceled 😮

really wished the season ended with maybe a cliffhanger. That rematch feeling. Shame it got cancelled, though

I wonder if the decision to not do a season 3 has more to do with backlash from the Laker organization and former players as opposed to ratings? Or the low ratings were a result of players like Magic and Kareem saying they’re not going to watch it. In hindsight, it would’ve been a good idea to get some of the players involved

Fantastic reviews of each episode! Hartbroken we will not get 3rd season 😢 it was fantastic 2 seasons of great televison

There have been many NBA legends that have never in their NBA careers had the chance to play in the NBA Championship like Bob Lanier, Dave Bing, "Pistol" Pete Maravich, Connie Hawkins, and Lou Hudson to name a few.

This was a great series. I binged out on it!!💯🏁

It seems like this series left off at a pivotal moment in Lakers history. The Lakers facing the Celtics two more times in the finals, their intense rivalry with the Pistons, and the conclusion of their dynasty when they faced the Bulls in 1991 are all significant moments. And of course, Magic Johnson's diagnosis added a dramatic twist to their story. It's disappointing that the series didn't continue, and it would have been great if a network like Starz could have picked it up to provide closure and more insights into these historical events.

When Winning Time ends in a loss

Still shaking my head... it happened again? My GOT post traumatic stress disorder has come back...so disrespectful from Max to end the series this way...

Hulu or Netflix need to picked up

And I hope that someone else picks this series back up. This is truly a good, compelling, and entertaining show, even given its historical inaccuracies.

Just here to say Adrien Brody as Pat Riley is 🐐 material. Can we at least get a Pat Riley spin off ??

WINNING TIME is a good and entertaining TV SERIES. They should continue with a SEASON 3, featuring the LAKERS 2nd DYNASTY with SHAQ, KOBE, REST of LAKERS, with PHIL JACKSON.

So bummed this was cancelled. This was my weekly ‘can’t wait for the next episode’ show…

I really wanted to see who they were going to cast as Jordan, Isaiash, and Lambeer

Damn shame. This was a highly entertaining and great show with so many kool events still to come!

That was great show, acting, music, tempo, production, so much fun to watch.

Sad that the show was cancelled after 2 seasons. So many stories beyond the 84 finals to be told. They’d win 3 more and the exclamation point in the decade is the back to back. And then there’s tons more after that like the Riley blunder that costed the Lakers the 89 finals because he decided to run a boot camp while waiting for Detroit, and then there’s the forever question if Magic already had HIV playing the Bulls in the 1991 finals. He had documented fatigue in that series and that was the first time in his career I had seen him with stamina issues

I personally loved the 80 's style ending. All the actors did a great job and it was fun to be sucked back into that era. HBO made a huge mistake.

Bird and Magic, Magic and Bird... Knights in shining armor that came saved a league and disappeared in retirement. Can't tell me that those two and Jordan are together the greatest three players to play the game.

So much more to the story basketball fans unite and get this show another season

I was a background talent/ extra in the crowd scenes at the game. It was so cool to see everything filmed right there in front of you. I did not get any sleep the night before and I believe we worked a 16-hour day at least. Oh my God I was so exhausted.

That jacking up the heat was an old John Wooden trick. Coached UCLA 12 seasons 60’s-70’s. He’d have his players practice in it so they were acclimated 😉

For historical accuracy, Bird has 29 points and 21 rebounds in Game 4 in LA and 34 Points and 17 rebounds in game 5 in Boston.

This was a great show, it didn't deserve such an unceremonious cancellation.

Last night felt like eating a great cheeseburger and finding a maggot in the last bite.

The director warned everyone needed to watch this show or it would get cancelled. If every Laker fan watched ..this wouldn't be happening ...😭😭

Game Two was in the grasp of the Lakers. They held a 2 point lead with only 18 seconds left on the clock. Magic made a rebound of Kevin McHale’s free throw miss and all he had to do was run out the clock. However, he called timeout. Magic and coach, Pat Riley had committed a major miscommunication. Riley had instructed Johnson to call timeout if McHale made his free throws not if he missed them. After the timeout, the Celtics face guarded the Lakers and caused a turnover. When Johnson inbounded the ball to Worthy, instead of getting it back to him, the second-year forward tried a cross-court pass that was intercepted by Celtics guard Gerald Henderson, who took it in for a layup that tied the game. The Lakers still had an opportunity with 13 seconds left, but Johnson choked. He was unable to get the ball to an open teammate or get a shot off himself, and the contest went into overtime. There, L.A. had a few opportunities to redeem itself but fell short, 124-121. Although its poor performance in the clutch that night seemed, at the time, to be a hiccup, given the Game 3 thrashing the Lakers put on the Celtics, it ultimately set the tone for the series.

I wanted to see the shoe commercial and the lunch with Bird’s mom and the start of their friendship

Theres no more rivalries like this in sports. Everyone congratulates each other, everyones friends with everyone, they all follow each other on twitter and blah blah blah

Man I hope Netflix picks the show up.

The ending was horrible

This is complete BS. Where do I sign for season 3. Cmon netflix or someone else.

I need to watch this because I lived this back in the day'/!!! This Bird guy actor looks like the real deal'/!!!

A 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals was blown twice before this - 1969 and 1977

Winning Time is my favorite HBO show. Sad to see it go.

At least they should have shown the Lakers 1985 and 1987 Finals Victories over the Boston Celtics. 1985 for sure because it was the very first time the Lakers beat the Celtics for the Championship. And after the Lakers beat the Celtics again in 1987, in a Championship Rally at The Forum, Coach Pat Riley guaranteed that the Lakers were going to repeat as Champions. Those moments definitely should have shown on Winning Time!

Ending with the Celtics on top just like it should! 😝

I was waiting for the bird magic friendship!

Max didn't advertise Season 2 worth a damn. If this show was on Netflix it would have been a hit.

They only aren’t doing a third season bc of the writers strike BUT I’d rather have a winning time for bad boys era pistons

They could still bring the show back as part of the TV movie

Speaking of Kurt Rambis, too bad we don't get to see how Kevin McHale's clothesline of him in Game 4 affected Pat Riley, who from that point vowed that no team of his would ever be out-physicaled again, leading not only to the Lakers taking it physically to the Celtics in 1985, but would affect the rosters Riley would later build in New York and Miami.

My favorite Winning Time moments are the Larry Bird moments and lm not even a Celtics fan

They also took some liberties with how the final stretch of Game 7 played out: The Lakers made a run. Magic had the ball with a chance to cut the lead to one. DJ stripped him and went in for a layup that Cooper blocked. Magic got the ball again with a chance to cut it to one and McHale knocked it away. DJ went in for another layups and Cooper fouled him (also Bird had the ball for a dunk if they hadn't called the foul). The Lakers had a chance to steal it and coughed it up. It wasn't the refs.

Premature ending of this series really hurts

They got the casting great

I knew something wasnt right when first season only 8 episodes

Sorry to hear this was a great show love it thank you . I live it in Boston growing up and love doing it, again Wish you kept it gong . I can now cancel HBO and Comcast .

HBO “dropped the ball” with that Finale

yeah i was kinda shock they have finish the season.. i hoping they continue the series but oh well awesome show

Crying shame this got cancelled. This show was so fucking good. Pray that another network picks it up because it has mad potential.

Sucks we didn’t get a third season. I was really looking forward to seeing The Bad Boys and MJ

Fitting that a show called winning time ends losing the title

They could've showed it until magic and larry's converse commercial 🏀💯

Spoiler, the series was always about the rise of the Celtics and finished exactly where it was supposed to.

You can tell they were building to something more, their friendship, Magic's AIDS diagnosis, maybe them ending their careers on the dream team together.

I find it hilarious that it ends like that

Netflix should pick up the show

It sounds like the writers, and now actors, strike had a lot to do with the show's cancellation. With actors and writers unable to talk about their projects, they were unavailable to do publicity for the show via the late night talk shows and such. So the word of mouth to pump up the show was not there. Also, running the show in the back half of the summer probably didn't help. It's not basketball season. The first season aired at the same time as the NCAA Tournament, thus basketball was on people's minds. Now, it's all about football. Too bad, as the show despite its occasional distorting of history, was quite good -- and the casting of some of the actors was spot on -- for those who are fans of basketball or sports history. It would have been great to see how Magic and Larry went from mortal enemies to best of friends.

So sad this show is not coming back!

Petition anyone to keep it going!!!

Bird scored 34 points with 17 rebounds shooting 15 for 20 in game five Bird’s 29 points and 21 rebounds was the his performance in game four!

The Celtics-Lakers rivalry made the 1980s worth living

HBO has a tendency of ending great shows at its peak with its audience wanting more: Oz. Sopranos, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Newsroom, now Winning Time.

REALLY SUCKS that this show is over smh

HBO cancelled this TV series??? WHY??? That's crazy

I was like oh they ended it? Okay but it could have been so much more. I enjoyed the show while it was on.

Man now we won't ever know what happens next😮

Everyone to busy restreaming the office and marvel movies smh

HBO gives us half' the story ...What the fuck 😠

What a JACKed way to go out. Didn't even need to see the news of its official cancellation by the way they ended this last episode. I was enjoying this even more than the Bulls' Last Dance Docudrama until it just up and aborted
