Does this go down as one of the best playoff performances ever?

No rest.

16-23, 49 points, 13-16 fts, 17 rebounds, 10 assists.

The biggie for me is NO REST. When other players have "load management", KD is making huge shots on no rest

amazing performance

Stoiclife · 06-15-2021, 10:05 PM

KD with the Herculean effort. Giannis with the choke job.

49-17-10 and the game-clinching steal.

Lebron quits in tough playoff games. Slim Reaper kills the other team.

Speaking of getting it wrong all the time.

Like many posters, I think the Bucks got a bit casual. 6 seconds left in the (I think) 2nd Q and they don't push it up court and ended up with a tough shot. Example of the attitude that came back to haunt them - they thought they had it in the bag already.

packman80 · 06-15-2021, 10:06 PM

Bucks just choked. They are done. Giannis never shows up in the playoffs. Coach Bud is going to be the guy who takes the fall and he's getting fired.

Back 2 back nights of watching the favorites collapse in the 2nd half. Weird

Great game by KD. Best stat is all 48 minutes.

It’s definitely an all-time performance for KD before. And all of this on top of this being his first season back from a ruptured Achilles. I’m a huge KD fan, but I gotta be honest, I don’t know if I truly believed he would get to this level this season.

brothertona · 06-15-2021, 10:07 PM

Jeez Bud is such a terrible coach. How are you not letting Giannis just exercise Brute force all game? Who's stopping him? Why is he settling for fadeaways? The defense looked bad as well

Great game for Durant. Embarrassing effort by the Bucks.

pete2345 · 06-15-2021, 10:08 PM

Watching Durant play like that just reaffirms how bad lbj really is.

Some guys are just passive.

I remember there was a lot of talk about him not guarding Butler in their playoff match last summer in the bubble.

I have to work at 6 tomorrow but I don't care. Damn, this is why playoff basketball is so awesome.

I'm not a big KD fan but he was a MONSTER tonight.

dunkindutchmen · 06-15-2021, 10:10 PM

It's hard to find a dumber team than the Bucks. If you shut off their drive and kick game, they legitimately don't know what to do. Take turns isoing. Holiday has one of the lowest basketball IQs you will find in a starting point.

And Bud...... oh my god. Harden could hit nothing but the front of the rim, 0-8 from deep in the game, and not once did they run a double with his man to stop KD when he went on that absolute tear. They played KD straight up each time....... Just incredibly bad. I'd be so pissed if I were a Bucks fan.

Love it! Not much different than your pathetic KD pump yesterday.

James Harden is so goofy
