Yahoo Sports NBA Twitter reacts to Heat eliminating Bucks in first round: ‘Budenholzer was chillin on the sidelines like “damn this game good as hell”‘
The No. 1 seeded Milwaukee Bucks have been eliminated from the first round of the NBA playoffs after losing their series to the Miami Heat in five games, in what is now considered one of the biggest upsets in NBA history.
As expected, Twitter didn’t let coach Mike Budenholzer, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee off the hook after tonight’s elimination.
Budenholzer was chillin on the sidelines like “damn this game good as hell”

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters they needed to call a timeout at the end of regulation with 0.5 seconds left. And he did not.

Erik Spoelstra RETIRED Brad Stevens by making him look like a middle school coach.
He just did the same to Mike Budenholzer.
Low key best coach in the NBA.

Mike Budenholzer always has that "they found me in a random bar eating cheese curds and told me to coach basketball" look and I just can't shake it.

Giannis was 3/12 in the 4th and OT man

How is Giannis Antetokounmpo viewed if James Harden and Kyrie Irving don’t get hurt in 2021?
— ᵂᴵᴸᴸ (@BiasedHouston) April 27, 2023
Giannis missed 13 free throws, fouled a 3 pt shooter on most crucial defensive possession, and let grayson allen end up with ball when it was time to make a play.
Was 3/12 in 4th and OT with 3 to’s.
sure gettin talked about a lot less than some coaching mistakes. weird.

Giannis with 17 missed free throws in OT but you guys go ahead and enjoy those archived 2021 highlights pic.twitter.com/VvzVvkCW8N

I don’t even wanna hear people say Giannis is the best player in the world. Idc what the stats say, he sold like crazy late in that game. Charging like Derrick Henry into the paint, missing free throws and a terrible closeout on Strus that basically game Miami the win
PATHETIC pic.twitter.com/3Y1aU1PTK0

I love Giannis but this is on him more than anything else. Best player in the world should get you better shots than what we saw for fourth and OT.

Thought it’d be in Toronto but I guess Nick Nurse will finally get to coach Giannis

What a collapse by the Bucks. Awful half court offense with too many stagnant post ups. Giannis took some goofy pull ups. Awful coaching by Budenholzer—not using the timeout, not keeping Lopez in to protect the rim on the game-tying lob, and so many tactical choices.

Mike Budenholzer must pay for his crimes. He must pay a very dear price

Maybe Giannis should learn how to hit free throws?

What’s Giannis’ statline next season with Nurse as his head coach?
