Honestly, yes. #6 seed lost to a #3 seed in the playoffs, not really a surprise right?
Then you have Milwaukee, a #1 seed with the best record in the NBA getting smoked by a #5 seed. Which one is choking more?
Being hyped up as a pre-season favorite to be a top seed is different than ACTUALLY being that top seed and then losing to a #5 seed rofl.
Milwaukee has a problem, they gotta break out of that regular season mindset because at this point they could win 65 games next year and nobody would trust them to actually win it all lol.
You said all season long that the 76ers were built for the playoffs and that they matched up excellently against the Celtics, then they got swept but somehow that's better
Milwaukee's biggest issue is they need a guard to facilitate the offense. Giannis doesn't get easy half court points because Bledsoe and Giannis are too similar in how they want to attack
The other major problem was Giannis regressing from 70% at the line to 59%, teams weren't afraid to hack him constantly because they know refs can't call every foul and Giannis won't punish them for it
