Now they have to face Clippers, another good game to watch.
They will do better at home but Clippers now are playing the best basketball and in terms of size, I guess Clippers will kill them.

Who would stop Leonard and PG here? they both are taller and athletic, and anyone of them could explode anytime, so I'll go for the Clippers even they are on the road. Hopefully this will be a high scoring game as fans would love it, it's more fun when the game turns out a high scoring affair.

 Honestly I think there is not that much of a difference between bucks losing to heat and rockets losing to knicks in the sense that any team could lose to any team, it is after all ANY team can lose to ANY team. Bucks should be beating heat if they are such a great team at the first seed of the east conference and miami is an unexpected high ranked team compared to some other east teams that was expected to do better. On the other hand westbrook or harden doesn't matter because rockets should destroy knicks and beat them by 30+ points easily so if westbrook or harden takes the last shot to win that game, it is already bad for them.

Well that is if they have taken that huge lead, unfortunately, it was not the case, it was the other way around.

But it is also concerning though, they supposed to win that game, but what happened? I would only speculate that they just had a bad game and Harden should take the last shot.  Smiley Now they have to face Clippers, another good game to watch.

The thing is they can't rely much on outside shooters because this team is designed on Giannis players.
Look at his stats, sometimes he could even make a triple double and most of the time he has the most points, they can't sacrifice that, I mean they should find a way for Giannis to still score, otherwise they'll lose against a good team.
Well, we cant really deny that isolating the main scorer would really be difficult but i dont agree that they dont have capable outside shooters and as i said earlier this would already depend on their alteration when it comes to ball rotation even Giannis is heavily guarded or isolate.Well, this is enough for this talk or matter and lets see on what would happen into their next game.As said if Heat will still manage to have
the same scenario and outcome then this one is a heavy finalist East contender.

Miami Heat figure out how to beat the Bucks, this seems like very interesting as I usually bet on an underdog team and I hope Bucks would not be another disappointment again in the playoffs, I thought they have an easy journey in the East but there's Miami Heat who could stop their man Giannis.
They do, and I read somewhere that Miami is already 2-0 against the Bucks this season, and that's a good news for Heat backers that they can defeat the most overrated team in the NBA, no offense for the Bucks fans, but that's how I see it.
Well, they will have a match again on 17 so let's see if they actually figured it out. Bucks should figure this out and look to the whole point how Heat beat them like that.
But if Heat manages to beat them again, hands down to MH.

They would definitely analyze it out and would try out their best for it not to happen again.They know that they have been defeated with that kind of guarding by shutting down the main man.

Im expecting for some rotations which the ball wont be focused on Giannis yet there are capable scorers on outside which they can really be used on since they would target it out on guarding him again.

So ball rotations will be expected on next match up for some adjustments.
That will be one option that they can do to counter the style of Heat's defense. But from this moment, we can simply speculate and look for the possible solution that they will create.
It's just 2 weeks from now and let's see when they face again the solution and counter they've made.

After Kawhi left in the East I thought it's will be easier for Bucks to totally reign in the East seems that Miami will be a great match up from them. Miami have a great roster this season and Jimmy do a great job. They totally lockdown Giannis I think it's their #1 priority but will see it in the playoffs if Miami can still stop Giannis and the Bucks

In that game, not only Giannis is having a hard time but the other core players as well. We also have to take note that the majority of Bucks field goals attempt were not contested meaning they are literally having a bad night. A total lockdown to Giannis might be effective but not always the key to slow down the Bucks.

But kudos to Miami Heat for giving Bucks a hard time on that game. That bad night's performance by the Bucks is because of Heat's impressive performance on that game. They destroyed the rhythm of the Bucks offense. They are now 2-0 against the Bucks this season which is a good thing to see as we want to see a close competition in the Eastern Conference playoffs and not just the usual favorites Bucks, Celtics or Raptors.
After beating again the Bucks there's no question anymore that this team is really performing, forming a young solid cores and making it possible to deliver. This showed that there's always a good place for Miami coming into the next round, they just need to continue improving and create new set up plays for the entire team.

Though he have that instinct and he can also deliver but Harden for me is much better in that kind of clutch.
I agree with you on this, however, we can't blame westbrook because he is now given the license to lead the team, if we look at his stats, there is a big improvement now compared when he was still starting with the Rockets and the management find it very effective so they stick with the game plan.

The rockets we are talking about just lost to Knicks and even tho we can say that any team could lose to any team, even Lakers or Bucks that are at the top has lost before (bucks lost to Miami yesterday) which means that loss to Knicks by rockets doesn't mean anything normally.
you can't compare the lost of the bucks to the heat against the lose of the Rockets as Heat and Bucks are playoff team while the Knicks is not, in fact Knicks is only rank number 13 with 19-42 win loss record while the heat ranks number 4 with 39-22 win loss record.
Which is right, Bucks and Heat can be a final contenders while Knicks is not, Rockets have the good chance to win the game if Westbrook passed the ball to Harden and let the guy to take the last shot. Though he have that instinct and he can also deliver but Harden for me is much better in that kind of clutch.

However, they were outrebounded by +30 and that does say something, Knicks is not a huge big team and they are really not all that well rebounding normally, which means Rockets sometimes do play well and get boards and stop others inside however sometimes they are like this. The question is, will rockets be alright when playoffs comes, eventually they will play a lot of big teams and they can't afford +30 rebounding difference.

The Raptors also did a great job against Giannis, he was not effective in the first half of their game but Raptors were not playing a complete squad that time, if they had Gasol, they could have won that game, Heat were in full squad so they were able to stop Giannis.
They know how to stop the Bucks as they are the one who stopped the bucks in last year's playoffs.
Raptors are not even expected to perform like this as people thought it's Leonard team but it's not, it was the coaching staff that was good so Raps will still be in playoffs with a good spot now.

Butler this season is surrounded by a team players and though his record is not so impressive compared to his past teams, we can see here that the whole Miami team is getting better, and they also have a Rokie which are performing well, so as a team, I would also go with the Heat.

In spite on below ranking in terms of numbers/stats compared to Bucks, we have seen on how they did isolate Giannis but we dont know if they can do such thing when playoff comes
and talking about their performance i do agree that they do really show impressive games compared on last year.

There are teams that can be somewhat a "kryptonite", so we see the Miami is, - has the tools and the talent to beat Giannis and the Bucks. Are the Bucks though still on track for the 70 win milestone this season? Haven't check the stats and their chances since they have lost to Miami.
