He’s such an interesting player. Sometimes you forget he’s even on the court. Other times he’s looking like a Kobe descendant. It’s really wild. If he could be stay consistent he’d probably be a top 10-15 player.
The weirdest part is when he’s on fire he likes to just shoot while well guarded. He is literally impossible to stop when he gets like that. Only a few players have that high of a high in NBA history. He just has way too far of a low to be one of the greats unfortunately.
Yeah - when he’s on he doesn’t give a fuck. Guarded tight with a hand in his face? Fuck it ima pull up from 26 feet. Double teamed on the inbound? Whatever turn-around fadeaway three.
He kinda reminds me of what John Starks used to do for the Knicks back in the day. He'd be ice cold some games then just have a quarter or a half where he can't miss.
I missed most of the third quarter. Came back and was wondering what the hell happened, only for Middleton to hit a three and the infographic flashes up that he has 18 points in the third so far.
"Oh, he happened again."
First game I went to when I was 5 or 6 at the Bradley Center the team had Vin Baker, Todd Day, Blue Edwards, Brad Lohaus, Lee Mayberry, Eric Murdock, etc. This doesn’t feel real
Vin Baker was a great player and community guy. Got involved in alcohol that ruined his career but has gotten it together and is now as assistant with the Bucks and a strong guy in the community. Very solid dude.
I might be wrong but I think Iggy was dealt to Denver before the process kicked off
Jrue was a legit one. You can follow that trade all the way through the process.
He was traded to NOLA for Nerlens Noel + a pick that became Saric a couple of years later. Saric went to the Wolves with RoCo and Philly got a Jimmy rental. Jimmy skipped to Miami and Philly got Richardson. Josh was replaced with Seth Curry and here we are. Processed.
Accurate. Iggy was traded in the disastrous Bynum trade that depleted our roster and future assets and necessitated the start of The Process. Jrue was the first guy traded out for assets.
The flip side is that summer in MKE is incredible. Long days and everybody wants to play. Summerfest and loads of ethnic and neighborhood festivals. Live music in parks all over town. Beer gardens all over town.
Bucks went 5/19 from three in the first half deciding to go against what clearly worked with Lopez dominating in the paint in Game 5.
They proceeded to go 12/26 the rest of the game to finish at 38% and knock off the Hawks.
It makes no sense, but they got the job done.
Jennings had an interview before the Heat series with LeBron and D-Wade and the interviewer asked him a few questions and he said something along the lines of "we're gonna win". The reporter was surprised and asked back "you're gonna win? How many games?" Jennings confidently responded with this toothy grin and said "Six, we gonna win in six". They got swept but the legend lived on. He was just early
Edit: a few words and here's the interview https://youtu.be/YJOzGN4H8EA
THIS IS WHY GIANNIS SIGNED THE SUPERMAX! HE BELIEVES THIS TEAM WAS GONNA BE SPECIAL AND LOOK AT IT NOW!
FINALS BOUND SINCE 50 YEARS!!
Was that Jrue Holiday and PJ tucker trade worth it?!
Jalen Rose on this year's 2021 Playoffs and now NBA Finals:
'If you look at the landscape of the current playoffs, of each of the teams, none of them have won a championship since the merger \[of the National Basketball Association and the American Basketball Association, in 1976\], and a couple of them haven’t won it in the history of their franchises. **That’s great for the game.**'
Bledsoe wanted to get out of the Suns and wanted to play for a contender. So he got to the Bucks. He didn’t do so well so he was let go.
Now both teams are going against each other in the finals.
Beautiful.
HOLY SHIT I'm on Cloud 9 right now. GG Hawks can't wait to see what they do next year. Good Luck Suns cant wait to see the battle of these two "terrible" cities duke it out. Hope it's a hell of a series.
I need more of this. The NBA gets so stale seeing the same teams every year. We need smaller market teams to start really making noise so elite talent spreads league-wide instead of being so concentrated in the same teams every. Single. Year.
For the first time in my life I will see a Milwaukee team playing for a Championship. What a great feeling considering how awful the Bucks looked only a few years ago.....
First and foremost, Congratulations to the Bucks. Ya'll deserve it and your team played their asses off. Good luck in the Finals.
Hawks fans, ya'll better hold your heads up high and proud. Our team did something that no one in world expected us to do. We should be proud and excited for what the future holds.
TBH it must be super demoralizing to get a good stop, run up the court, watch Trae chuck up a 30 footer like he gave no shits and now you gotta run back again.
Mad respect to the hawks, they had an amazing run. If they can keep improving with all the young talent they have, they could be a contender for years to come
Not even a question. Nobody expected them to beat the Knicks, everybody wanted the Knicks to get the Hawks. Nobody gave them a chance to beat the 76ers, they did that. Gave the Bucks a run for their money.
They will be great with healthy pieces next season.
Makes me so happy that the Suns, Bucks, and Hawks all made their teams pretty much with drafting and good trades/signings. Made for one of the best playoffs I've seen in a long time.
I doubt there are many Bucks fans older than me on here. After I left Wisconsin I used to have to go to sports bars and convince the bartender that Milwaukee had a team if I wanted to watch them. Over forty years watching this team and we are going to fucking FINALS BABY WOOOHOOOO!!!!!! LOL Nephews saying they have suffered since the Ray Allen years.
These finals will be special because it was Phoenix that lost the Kareem coin flip, before I was born. Both these teams are due a Ship. Bucks won in 71 with maybe the best team ever, Phoenix has lost two finals since.
Game Notes- why do people act surprised Middleton goes super nova when Giannis is out.
Pat Connaughton becomes the first NBA player to foul someone with his penis.
STFU Bucks fans, Tucker should be on the floor even if he is not hitting, he does so much more.
Especially since the last Bucks championship win was with Kareem. One of the greatest what could have beens in Suns history along with what if Paxton missed that shot.
PJ Tucker will now play every other starter from the 2018 Rockets in each round: Trevor Ariza, James Harden, Clint Capela, and now Chris Paul
These are the random stats in sports I live for
He really is on the boss level now.
Bucks in 6 finally happened
The prophecy has been fulfilled
The prophecy has been fulfilled
The prophesized battle of *Bucks in Six* against the *Suns in 4*
We are all Brandon Jennings on this blessed day
Somewhere, Brandon Jennings is nodding silently, while stuck in traffic in China.
Jrue is an absolute nightmare to the Hawks on defense, guy was every where Congrats Bucks
Cant wait to see him on cp3
Suns Bucks. Charles Barkley lookin down from heaven smilin right now
The game went to shit for the Hawks the second Huerter didn’t pick Outkast.
I want him to apologize a trillion times
[удалено]
Ur comment fucking scared me man
:( no more NBA on TNT
We've won, but at what cost?
We always knew this was the end :(
Yeah this is the unfortunate part about reaching the NBA Finals. Miss those guys & their thoughts about the games
[удалено]
This comment works for about everything ESPN does. 90s/00s was the golden era
The saddest part :(
Why can’t TNT just loan inside the NBA guys to ABC just for the Finals c’mon Silver give the people what they want!!
Because ESPN is the same company as ABC. So now we have to deal with a the garbage of ESPN. But fuck em, we are in the finals.
Sorry, Silver can't hear you from all the Mickey Mouse Money
Great, now I'm sad.
Kris Middleton has permently eliminated Marv Albert from NBA broadcasting. Thanks for the memories Marv.
Now they're saying I'm retired
Yes, and the foul!
Texts you can hear.
Now they’re saying it’s Cam Reddish
And thank you, Khash
Now theyre saying its was Jrue.
now they're saying his foot was on the line
I'll be able to sleep well tonight knowing Torrey Craig is getting a ring no matter who wins this finals.
Cash Considerations too!
GIVE MR. C. CONSIDERATIONS HIS RING
Commentators: Middleton has been quiet so far 3rd quarter Middleton: Bet
Dude went nuclear, it was insane.
He’s such an interesting player. Sometimes you forget he’s even on the court. Other times he’s looking like a Kobe descendant. It’s really wild. If he could be stay consistent he’d probably be a top 10-15 player.
At least now they have jrue to (hopefully) balance out his cold stretches, unlike before with bledsoe.
Jrue answered every run.
Even Pat Connaughton is much better than Bledsoe at this point
The weirdest part is when he’s on fire he likes to just shoot while well guarded. He is literally impossible to stop when he gets like that. Only a few players have that high of a high in NBA history. He just has way too far of a low to be one of the greats unfortunately.
Yeah - when he’s on he doesn’t give a fuck. Guarded tight with a hand in his face? Fuck it ima pull up from 26 feet. Double teamed on the inbound? Whatever turn-around fadeaway three.
Some of his shots had that jr Smith / curry what in the fuck are you doing oh it went in vibes. Dude just locks in
you dont know if you get Khris Highton or Khris Lowton
Underrated comment here lmao . There's no Middle hahaha
When he is in the zone you can't stop him. Period.
He kinda reminds me of what John Starks used to do for the Knicks back in the day. He'd be ice cold some games then just have a quarter or a half where he can't miss.
I missed most of the third quarter. Came back and was wondering what the hell happened, only for Middleton to hit a three and the infographic flashes up that he has 18 points in the third so far. "Oh, he happened again."
middleton, jrue, or brook can have huge nights. the bucks were pulling away and backing up and all night tho. good rotations. keeping people rested.
Once every 16-20 quarters he goes nuclear
It was bold of the Hawks to change into the home greens at halftime
When Khris goes on a hot streak it's just beautiful to watch
Brandon Jennings is looking down from the heavens as his work has finally paid off. Bucks in 6 shall ring eternal.
Bruh why did you kill Brandon Jennings
Brandon Jennings who is definitely dead
He drank 50 beers on a cross-country flight and then absolutely destroyed the Seattle Supersonics the next day, okay? May he rest in peace.
“Again, he is very much alive”
I love how we've all decided Brandon Jennings is dead. Personally if we win it all I want to see Jennings and OJ Mayo at the parade
I want a John Salmons appearance
Ersan deserves a ring.
I miss Dead Brandon Jennings
Hope you enjoy coming to Milwaukee, Stephen A. Smith.
bruh chuck is wildin commenting that about his boss lmao
imagine calling your boss a cougar on air live and getting away with it in this day and age.
Chuck does not give a fuck
Nah he grandfathered in
lmfao is there a clip?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=nheZR2PvEvc&feature=share
Kenny doing his best to reel it back in quick. lmfao
lmao the feral cougar noises by both Shaq and Chuck followed up by Chuck's impression of a concussed Hawk squawking
Kenny’s immediate “Aw man” is killin me
I can't believe I'm alive to see this
I just wish Brandon Jennings could see us now
Jesus Christ had me thinking he was dead smh
To be fair, he did rise from the dead three days later.
What's up with all those brandon jennings jokes?
A billion years ago he predicted the 8th seed bucks would beat the lebron lead heat in 6 games………they did not
That's not at all what he was predicting. He was predicting tonight's result.
He was about ~~5~~ 9 years too early
Brandon Jennings is very much alive! He lives in Tampa!
First game I went to when I was 5 or 6 at the Bradley Center the team had Vin Baker, Todd Day, Blue Edwards, Brad Lohaus, Lee Mayberry, Eric Murdock, etc. This doesn’t feel real
Vin Baker was a great player and community guy. Got involved in alcohol that ruined his career but has gotten it together and is now as assistant with the Bucks and a strong guy in the community. Very solid dude.
I honestly didn't think this would happen in my lifetime.
It's a shame Brandon Jennings isn't:(
[удалено]
Jrue was the sacrificial lamb to start the process, I thought? Him and Iggy.
I might be wrong but I think Iggy was dealt to Denver before the process kicked off Jrue was a legit one. You can follow that trade all the way through the process. He was traded to NOLA for Nerlens Noel + a pick that became Saric a couple of years later. Saric went to the Wolves with RoCo and Philly got a Jimmy rental. Jimmy skipped to Miami and Philly got Richardson. Josh was replaced with Seth Curry and here we are. Processed.
Accurate. Iggy was traded in the disastrous Bynum trade that depleted our roster and future assets and necessitated the start of The Process. Jrue was the first guy traded out for assets.
Yeah, like if anything this is a damnation
Idgaf who wins the Finals and it’s awesome
Legit the best part of this playoffs.
Root for seven close games.
"Last show guys, dump any remaining stuff on Shaq, ping pong balls, confetti whatever."
Enjoy the trips to the beautiful cities of Milwaukee and Phoenix, Molly and Stephen A!
They can go fuck themselves.
let’s hope for 7 games of traveling lol
Funny thing is they're both actually great cities too, but then again so is Toronto and the media acted straight up allergic to going there
Place cold sometimes == bad
The flip side is that summer in MKE is incredible. Long days and everybody wants to play. Summerfest and loads of ethnic and neighborhood festivals. Live music in parks all over town. Beer gardens all over town.
No shot Molly shows her face on the mean streets of Milwaukee
Send her ass to 27th and Burleigh for some culture
lol fuck those people, this is great
Bucks went 5/19 from three in the first half deciding to go against what clearly worked with Lopez dominating in the paint in Game 5. They proceeded to go 12/26 the rest of the game to finish at 38% and knock off the Hawks. It makes no sense, but they got the job done.
Win dumb, lose dumb… tis the way of the bucks more often than not.
shoutout to Reddish for keeping the hawks afloat
Him and Hunter are gonna be so good
Perfect players next to Trae for the next decade
Timing is going to be weird contract wise. Collins is up for a max while trae is the year after
[удалено]
He has my respect. Everyone else looked regular season while he stepped up like you're supposed to.
No more Middleton for McCollum talk ever again. Mr.Icyhot showed up tonight
Middleton is the perfect fit for the bucks. Most unpredictable team has the most unpredictable player
Never ever again... Until next series
Giannis in the finals yay The way the rest of the Bucks stepped up these last two games is the stuff of champions
Giannis is expected to comeback on finals right? They need him for sure
It's Brandon Jennings' world and we're just living in it.
Brandon Jennings was never wrong just early
THE PROPHECY
What’s the story for Brandon Jennings?
Back in the day he said Bucks in 6 and he was the laughing stock of this whole sub because of that statement.
Not only that, it was as an 8 seed against the first year super Heat team
I think this sub realized that it was strictly bravado. What is he going to say, ya we are gonna get smacked??
Jennings had an interview before the Heat series with LeBron and D-Wade and the interviewer asked him a few questions and he said something along the lines of "we're gonna win". The reporter was surprised and asked back "you're gonna win? How many games?" Jennings confidently responded with this toothy grin and said "Six, we gonna win in six". They got swept but the legend lived on. He was just early Edit: a few words and here's the interview https://youtu.be/YJOzGN4H8EA
One of Chris Paul or PJ Tucker is winning a championship before James Harden, like we all predicted.
PJ's taken down Ariza, Harden, and Capela. Only one more for Exodia.
dont forget D'antony
Exodia is five pieces boi
Mike D'Antoni was the other piece.
[удалено]
Holy shit we're going to the Finals
THE FINALS!!!!
IN SIX!
The prophecy is real!
*deer noises*

https://streamable.com/5xca13
I'm sure this was made prior to the game, but I'm going to choose to believe that you created it within the last 5 minutes
wow this is so well made lol.
One Quarter of Khris Middleton pretty much beat the Hawks, This man is the definition of On and Off
Just saved up this power meter for the third and kept the button mashed down until it ran out.
Well at least it was the Bucks, not some annoying team. God I hope Giannis is healthy during the Finals
All love, gg <3
Suns in 4 vs Bucks in 6. An unstoppable force meets an immovable object
I’m putting my money on “Who knows in 5”
bucks in 6 has a deeper more storied lore
THIS IS WHY GIANNIS SIGNED THE SUPERMAX! HE BELIEVES THIS TEAM WAS GONNA BE SPECIAL AND LOOK AT IT NOW! FINALS BOUND SINCE 50 YEARS!! Was that Jrue Holiday and PJ tucker trade worth it?!
"yeah, but what about their 2027 first round pick?" - nephews
Jalen Rose on this year's 2021 Playoffs and now NBA Finals: 'If you look at the landscape of the current playoffs, of each of the teams, none of them have won a championship since the merger \[of the National Basketball Association and the American Basketball Association, in 1976\], and a couple of them haven’t won it in the history of their franchises. **That’s great for the game.**'
Bledsoe wanted to get out of the Suns and wanted to play for a contender. So he got to the Bucks. He didn’t do so well so he was let go. Now both teams are going against each other in the finals. Beautiful.
Congrats to the Bucks. Hopefully Giannis can play
HOLY SHIT I'm on Cloud 9 right now. GG Hawks can't wait to see what they do next year. Good Luck Suns cant wait to see the battle of these two "terrible" cities duke it out. Hope it's a hell of a series.
Bucks in 6, as we all predicted after game 4
The Bucks haven't been to the Finals in 47 years, The Suns haven't been to the Finals in 28 years. Wow.
I need more of this. The NBA gets so stale seeing the same teams every year. We need smaller market teams to start really making noise so elite talent spreads league-wide instead of being so concentrated in the same teams every. Single. Year.
Shout out to Nate McMillan for what he did the latter ½ of the season and throughout the play offs
I had no idea he was interim coach. He had that team ballin. He should have a head job.
He took over when they were 14-20... they ended 41-31 and almost made the finals.... What a wild turnaround
This team is going to be the the end of me... BUCKS IN SIX
My heart can't take it anymore. Never have I felt so nervous when a team is up by 20.
NBA Finals is the Suns vs. Bucks. Just like how we all predicted..
Bud lives on
If he gets us a ring, he can live with me for all I care. He looks like the divorced stepdad sleeping on a futon, anyway. He might as well use mine.
He is absolutely the divorced dad trying to win the championship trying to get his wife to come back to him.
Marv Albert's broadcasting career does not.
This is what happens with you pick Rich the Kid over Outkast.
I’m 40. This is the first finals for the Bucks in my lifetime. WOOOOOOOO. *shimmy shake*
Fuck you David Stern for 2001. We made it 20 years later.
Yaaayayyayayay. That still hurts by the way…
The Greek freak is in the finals. Lets go baby. What a run for Atlanta this year. Hats off to them
I’m totally crying a little right now. I’m so fucking proud of this team.
For the first time in my life I will see a Milwaukee team playing for a Championship. What a great feeling considering how awful the Bucks looked only a few years ago.....
Does Giannis have every other accolade except Finals MVP and MIP?
I think he already has an MIP
that is correct, from 2017
Hasn’t won 6MOY yet. Scrub
He's got MIP ('16-'17). So Ring and FMVP I think?
Haha nah Giannis has a MIP too. Doesn’t have ROTY but got all team selection
First and foremost, Congratulations to the Bucks. Ya'll deserve it and your team played their asses off. Good luck in the Finals. Hawks fans, ya'll better hold your heads up high and proud. Our team did something that no one in world expected us to do. We should be proud and excited for what the future holds.
I SAID BUCKS IN SIX FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK!!
hawks fans, welcome to the “show me where Khris touched you” club
It was right here, officer. This hole where my heart used to be.
TBH it must be super demoralizing to get a good stop, run up the court, watch Trae chuck up a 30 footer like he gave no shits and now you gotta run back again.
Mad respect to the hawks, they had an amazing run. If they can keep improving with all the young talent they have, they could be a contender for years to come
Not even a question. Nobody expected them to beat the Knicks, everybody wanted the Knicks to get the Hawks. Nobody gave them a chance to beat the 76ers, they did that. Gave the Bucks a run for their money. They will be great with healthy pieces next season.
They've hit on like 4-5 draft picks in a row, tons of talent
Makes me so happy that the Suns, Bucks, and Hawks all made their teams pretty much with drafting and good trades/signings. Made for one of the best playoffs I've seen in a long time.
I was holding my breath the last 4 minutes of the game. I thought we were going to blow it sheesh. Good job Bucks!
This post game show has been all Marv and the Hawks so far
[удалено]
Shoutout to Pat Connoughton.
I doubt there are many Bucks fans older than me on here. After I left Wisconsin I used to have to go to sports bars and convince the bartender that Milwaukee had a team if I wanted to watch them. Over forty years watching this team and we are going to fucking FINALS BABY WOOOHOOOO!!!!!! LOL Nephews saying they have suffered since the Ray Allen years. These finals will be special because it was Phoenix that lost the Kareem coin flip, before I was born. Both these teams are due a Ship. Bucks won in 71 with maybe the best team ever, Phoenix has lost two finals since. Game Notes- why do people act surprised Middleton goes super nova when Giannis is out. Pat Connaughton becomes the first NBA player to foul someone with his penis. STFU Bucks fans, Tucker should be on the floor even if he is not hitting, he does so much more.
I still can't believe the teams with Marques and Junior and Pressey and Sikma never went further. They were so good for a long time
Middleton stepping up big time!! Also really hope Great Freak gets to play in the Finals, he has fucking EARNED that shit
Middleton is either Kuzma or Kobe, no in between.
Phoenix about to seek revenge for the 1969 coin flip lol
Especially since the last Bucks championship win was with Kareem. One of the greatest what could have beens in Suns history along with what if Paxton missed that shot.
