I know Dame wanted to play with Jimmy & Bam, but Giannis is literally the best player he could’ve played with. Giannis is effortlessly dominant and efficient and consistent.
@@ValWillKaypeople need to stop looking into the past, a lot of players and coaches have won a championship during their final years. Remember it’s a business and everyone wants to win. Their defense has gotten better because of doc rivers. Let’s give him a chance
I hope this becomes a trend for the NBA...and to the comment above me, I agree, it felt like a live game, I kinda thought the 'wolves were gonna come back
@@rhydonezz1950More so he wasn’t the same player after the injury in the 2022 Bulls series. Glad Middleton got the bag this past offseason but he’s no where near the value, not even close worth it. The Bucks could’ve signed a proven reliable 2 way player that would helped tremendously on the defensive end but it is what it is. Hopefully he and Dame show up in the playoffs…
Yall just capping, before the last injury middleton was finding form. Averaged 20ppg in the last 10 games on 50 40 splits. And dud well gaurding luka went we to dallas. Kd zaza'd him
Yep, and it has nothing to do with jump shots. He just wants it more than anyone else out there, and lays his body on the line to get the win. Everyone talks about his bag, but NO ONE in the league has his type of heart in their bag. Believe that.
@@elizaschaeffer34 Giannis is averaging 11.2 FT's per game and in this game he had 21 FTA. He shot more free throws than he did from the field goal. Milwaukee is 2nd for most FTA per game. Are you really a Bucks fan?
That’s a WAYYY better defense Bucks, especially in the clutch. Build on this. Pat Bev really was a good pickup, at LEAST he’s got them guys locked in on D. Dame needs to be called a "Closer". He’s the best Closer in the game. Prove me wrong.
I mean the Bucks outscored the Wolves 36-13 in the 3rd and then almost blew their lead... Giannis and Dame saved Doc from blowing another double digit lead
Not me. I knew from the get go they were winning this one. I never once got nervous. They win when it’s required 100% of the time and it was def required tonight.
Look st the frustrations on their faces and in the body language from the losses pre-allstar. They were not fooling around they were literally winning on talent and not playing great team ball. They’re figuring it out but they weren’t trolling thats for sure
@@LILCHEESE99 I do know how bad his resume looks, but I'm leaning more on the players and not Doc. I also know Giannis wouldn't just average 20 pts unlike Embiid.
Huge win for Bucks. Giannis was unstoppable like always. Bucks clamped down on Minn in that 3rd quarter holding them to 13 pts 😳. Dame time closed up shop.
Watch out. Those Minnesota fans will drive really slow in the left lane and show you. Then at the rest stop they'll tell you grandpa jokes cause they never got the dad jokes. Northern stock from northern europe.
@@JaVisionyoure acoustic if you think fouling a poor ft shooter is the way to win. Youve never even hooped in organized ball before dont even talk bro😭
Mfs just like the commentators are always tryna find a excuse for why the bucks game. Immediately went to the free throw difference. Maybe just stop hacking mfs
Timberwolves need to focus on practicing gettin easy buckets in the halfcourt in crunch time. Antman & Kat should be easy pick & roll partner and you rarely saw them run that.
They have the second best record in the league they are doing fine this game had no indication of nothing but a playoff type of game ...Wolves are alright two great teams that played elite defense ...
4:09 is why I would not want KAT on my team down the stretch. I’ve seen him single-handedly lose winnable games bc of trying to play hero ball in close games. That night he scored 62 he shot them out of the game and they lost solely bc of him. They obviously didn’t lose this game just bc of that shot, but it was a HUGE possession and he settled for a heat check. Not sure if he’ll ever mature enough as a player to stop that shit
If Khris can stay healthy they can be better. But that wasn't great movement on offense there, a lot of standing around and just relying on Giannis and Dame to create on their own.
Hold on there hold on there, Giannis is the GOAT. Period. The problem isn’t the NBA, the problem is society. You heard it here folks. Giannis. Period. For the win. Obviously.
With the win or not dame burning so much shot clock at half court is unacceptable if he's going to be the guy taking a shot move the ball and get it back to him
Doc Rivers specialty, what do you expect?? Giannis and Dame just saved him this game from blowing another double digit lead... Giannis hitting 7/8 FT while Dame hitting timely clutch 3 and that jumper at the end
@@alexiscando2068 yeah, I was just watching the 4 minutes highlight and I was surprised how close this game was or is. I saw the score last night and bucks was destroyed Minnesota into the fourth quarter and I was like good for the bucks because they needed confidence and signature win against good teams. I don’t have ESPN or streaming services to catch NBA games so I was just checking NBA scores on my iPhone. I don’t watch NBA games like I used to do because streaming services or NBA packages are expensive to buy these days. Over all, good games for the bucks because they are going to need to play better and winning games down the stretch and proven that they are the best team to win against the Celtics!
Crowder is playing great defense but if this team wants any chance of going on consistent stretches idk if we can rely on 35 minutes and 2 points from Crowder. 1-5 shooting. It's not just the stats because not everybody on the team will get shots but he is not capable of anything over an inefficient 8 regardless of minutes. Would love to see 20 minutes Crowder 20 minutes Gallinari. But Crowder actually made a cut this game and that makes me happy lol
Wolves didn't lose the game here. (Although they easily could have won with cleaner play and some shot making.) They lost it via the sloppy play in the first 3 quarters.
For what just to get bounce out the first round?? Sorry bro bro but yall not beating nobody in the first round not the lakers or suns or dallas yall got no experience
Why tf would Lopez hesitate on that shot…dude had a very open look but let dude close out on him…that’s a costly possession and tbh get em up outta their and gives us someone who has seasoned IQ
Forgot who I was watching but they said the problem with the wolves in they can’t close out 4th quarters… they where right Minnesota has a cink that everyone can work now I think it’s over for them 😂
Ant gotta stop throwing up 3s like hes like that he needa keep driving n perfect his mid range for this team to actually go somewhere.. n ik he made 3 threes in the end but he was 1-8 before then
@@kingdinodragonite34701% better sthuu u niggas be tryna say shit just because i said he needs to PERFECT his midrange and keep driving to be more dominant cuz hes not that good at shooting 3s the way he does
So neither of these teams will be in the finals because they both have the exact same problem and that is their “STARS OF THE TEAM”(Giannis & KAT) still tryna do it themselves instead of trusting their teammates to do it and they both have HOF candidates as teammates TEAMWORK MAKE THE DREAM WORK
100% agree especially about KAT. I’m a Wolves fan and he constantly tries to play hero ball down the stretch of close games. I actually wish they didn’t pass to him unless he’s cutting to the rim in crunch time
Did u just compare giannis to Kat. Clearly u didn't watch the game . Edwards was playing horrible and Kat sparked the drive to even let them finish close.
I would say most were legit calls but there was a few down the stretch where he was just putting his head down and the refs were automatically blowing the whistle. Frustrating to watch
There is just no other way to stop him. He is tall, he is long, he is fast, he is strong and he is great at finishing. I paused every single moment of the video when Giannis was fouled and it was actually a foul
Lol Giannis gets hacked nearly every time he goes to the rim. It’s similar to how Shaq basically got fouled every time he was in the post or rebounding but he’s so big, it doesn’t do much, and you cannot call literally every foul. So there’s probably more calls that don’t get made than the ones that do.
I know Dame wanted to play with Jimmy & Bam, but Giannis is literally the best player he could’ve played with. Giannis is effortlessly dominant and efficient and consistent.
Unfortunately, the HC is Doc Rivers.
@@ValWillKayI think it csn mesh well!

@@ValWillKaygive it a rest
Giannis shot a shit load of free throws ...And made most of them in the 4th...Both him an Dame we're clutch when needed to be 🎯
Thanks for not spoiling result in the thumbnail NBA!
That was perfect, i was watching it like it was a live game
I hope this becomes a trend for the NBA...and to the comment above me, I agree, it felt like a live game, I kinda thought the 'wolves were gonna come back

Legit bro nba dumb shit
Wait til middleton comes back. He knows how to control the pace he’s very underrated in playmaking
He's also cooked in defense, not the same defender he once was 3 years ago. I'd rather see Crowder in clutch time, his defense is more valuable.
Fr middleton was actually a solid defender hes just getting old
Nah, middleton looks so washed omg
@@rhydonezz1950More so he wasn’t the same player after the injury in the 2022 Bulls series. Glad Middleton got the bag this past offseason but he’s no where near the value, not even close worth it.

Giannis the most clutch player in the league probably
He literally is.
thank the refs
@@torimist6151 refs never help the bucks buddy. Good try though. Bucks are the leagues blackball team this season.
Yep, and it has nothing to do with jump shots. He just wants it more than anyone else out there, and lays his body on the line to get the win. Everyone talks about his bag, but NO ONE in the league has his type of heart in their bag. Believe that.

Giannis hitting those clutch free throws... love to see it!
Free throw shooting by Giannis really was key to this win.
I’m impressed by Edwards.
Sga more impressed than Ant
Kid was born to play basketball, amazing talent
He was horrible this game
he played horrible he only played good the last 3 minutes of the game
That’s a WAYYY better defense Bucks, especially in the clutch. Build on this. Pat Bev really was a good pickup, at LEAST he’s got them guys locked in on D. Dame needs to be called a "Closer". He’s the best Closer in the game. Prove me wrong.
Damn I’m from Milwaukee and went to sleep once the wolaver got a lil lead before halftime . I was like nothing changed since the all star break

@@elizaschaeffer34 then they lose the next game to bad teams after big wins smh
@@only1jamesp nope that’s over. I already called it 23-3 in this final stretch.
Bucks play the big games better than against non-contenders. They may be rope-a-dopeing the league till playoffs

Doc Rivers on his burner
i've noticed
@@john_costello lol goated
@@shelovet0mmyonly dudes looking frustrated are giannis and brook.
Team don’t really show up in those games.
Just need Middleton back healthy and Bucks will be back to cooking the league
They need to trade Somalian Kobe.
Waiting for all the "Doc Rivers is ruining the Bucks" folk to say something when he wins
Bucks the Jamal Murray of teams
Hope for them this also applies for the playoff
@@eliatruffelli Complete opposite of last season's Bucks so I think it'll hold come playoff time
@shiyo31 do you really trust doc rivers to not choke?
Yes. Underrated af and show out big when it matters most.

Happy to see Giannis made them free throws.
I'm an avid Curry fan but Dame Lillard is just too underrated, he legit can do anything curry does
8 ft trips in final 4 mins is wild
Did you watch the game? Wolves were trying to send him to the line because he's a bad free throw shooter.
@@JaVision trying to send him to the line when they are down? Okay lol did you watch the game?
@@TacoDudeYum My point proven. You don't know ball.
@@JaVision dawg huh? Are you special? Youre fouling to hope he miss a ft cause hes bad at it? Are you stupid? You are not fouling while youre down

Finally you guys do not put the final score on the thumbnail
Some of the foul calls for the Bucks were a little sketchy and I am surprised no one is talking about it
Lillard got no calls nigga chill out and take the L
Cope
NBA needa just let’em shoot for the ball. I’m tired of hearing the whistle every 20secs.
lot of different plays by Doc. i like it!
4:09 is why I would not want KAT on my team down the stretch. I’ve seen him single-handedly lose winnable games bc of trying to play hero ball in close games.

They obviously didn’t lose this game just bc of that shot, but it was a HUGE possession and he settled for a heat check. Not sure if he’ll ever mature enough as a player to stop that shit
Why KATwas playing like there’s only 20 left in the game when in fact it’s 3 minutes left
DAME CONFIDENCE IS BACK
AE was going crazy! yet the crowd didnt seem all too hype
Great game. Possible finals match up
yea Giannis wants his 3rd mvp
TIME!! AKA DAME!!!!!
Too many Giannis FTs
Don't foul him.
Easy? 😂
Dame time
How the many goals didn't go in in the first part of the video ?!?!?!

Keep going Wolves 🐺🏆🙌🏼
Fun fact: Dame has a worse playoff fg% than James Harden
Dame lowkey overrated
Dame’s been in the playoffs?
@@mrbear957lmaoooo you’re deluded he literally played in Portland
him Pg harden westbrick and bunch of other stats got 0 rings lol
On the Blazers 😂
Scores shouldn't be in the thumbnail
If Khris can stay healthy they can be better. But that wasn't great movement on offense there, a lot of standing around and just relying on Giannis and Dame to create on their own.
Wolves could scored 2 buckets in the paint but they kept kicking it out when they had plenty of time.
Damian Lillard needs to shoot the ball better if he wants to win a championship.

KAT should’ve took the 3 right there at 6:33
The Bucks are so deep. Anthony Edwards is going to be THE SCARIEST PLAYER in the NBA once he realizes he is the one in crunch time.
Wolves didn't lose the game here. (Although they easily could have won with cleaner play and some shot making.) They lost it via the sloppy play in the first 3 quarters.
Who else is a thunder fan who was just hoping the twolves lost?? No offense but I want that #1 seed
I hope bucks beat them in finals.

How does one player get more free throws than an ENTIRE team? Lol
By being aggressive, simple. Giannis is unstoppable going down hill. Either you foul him or get dunked on, pick your poison
Make contact, being aggressive than most of the team That's just Giannis
Him running people over isn’t “hacking”
