so you're theorizing that Milwaukee would be favored in Miami for game 6?

surely they wouldn't be favored by much considering Miami just went 2-0 at home, I'd be shocked if it was anywhere above -150 for a potential game 6


I would think Milwaukee would be favored for game 6, absolutely. They'll be favored every game from here on out for sure.

its a very weird spot because on the one hand Milwaukee probably isn't down 3-1 if Giannis played in every game, on the other hand I'm really disappointed with how slow the Bucks have looked

I wouldn't be shocked either way if the Bucks complete the 3-1 comeback or if they get humiliated in any of games 5-7

they definitely have the talent to dominate this Heat team but they are a very stupid team. in game 4 they played with their food, so many possessions were wasted by chucking a contested early shot clock 3

when the Bucks gave the Heat a beatdown sweep it was largely because of PJ Tucker saying fuckoff to coach Buds stupid defensive schemes and calling his own shots

Miami went 2-0 home, 1 game without giannis, and the other with jimmy going supernova, so I believe it would require another such game from him for them to beat the bucks.

The heat offense is pretty bad. It was bad with Herro, and it's even worse now.

They'll need another big time performance out of Jimmy to close this out, and even that might not be enough. I'd expect Milwaukee to make adjustments and come out swinging for game 5, should be a blowout win.

yeah it's pretty much like this every season

even vs Celtics last year, it was ALL jimmy butler. but he can only do so much

at least this time Giannis was out and it's 3-1 with 1 more home game remaining so, it'll be interesting to see if they can close out

I think it would be 2-2 if Giannis wasn’t injured
