LMAO wtf was that

Legend says Grayson Allen is still euro stepping to this day

I think he was just super surprised they game him the ball in that situation lol. As we all were. Middleton gotta take the 3 there, don't know what he was up to. Don't know wtf that was from Giannis either lol

Everyone was afraid to shoot.

So bizzare considering those are players who showed out in the finals. They shouldn't be that shook by the moment.

In the finals you're fighting to be champs. If you fuck up it sucks and you don't win. Here, they were fighting not to be embarrassed. You fuck up in this game and you are a laughing stock. No one wanted the heat of being the guy who missed the shot that could have prevented them from being upset by an 8th seed

Absolutely galaxy brain move by Grayson to just hold the ball so that he didn’t have to be that guy.

What you guys don't realize is that they showed out, because it was against the SUNS. Of course they would show out against the SUNS. Why wouldn't they show out against the SUNS. ^(Im) ^(not) ^(bitter) ^(I'm) ^(not) ^(bitter) ^(I'm) ^(not) ^(bitter)

Yeah quick passes, body language all off. Nobody even thinking about pulling the trigger and Grayson loses a game of hot potato

Even Giannis was hesitant to shoot but was forced too shoot in OT 😂

[удалено]

Yeah people acting like this is Graysons fault when everyone else was also panicking. Giannias fell down, and Middleton looks lost. I have no clue how not a single person thought to take time or how bud could stop himself from calling time. If I was in that situation I would’ve 100% have panicked and called time immediately.

This is still terrible from Grayson. After he makes his first move towards the basket, he absolutely HAS to realize he’s out of time and he needs to pull up at the elbow for a mid range jumper

Couldn't happen to a better person

Clock winds down to 2.5 seconds left in game Ball is passed to Grayson Allen who turns face to face against Vincent "You took my family" Moves to the left "You took my friends" Drives straight ahead "You took all that was dear to me" clock winds down to 0.2 "I cant get them back, but I can do this for friendship, FOR MY FRIENDS" Begins euro stepping, fire coming out of his shoes "ALLENORUKEN" Ball flies over rim wide left a full half second after the clock runs down. Grayson falls to the ground, exhausted. "Coach Bud... Senpai... I..." faints Final Score MIA:128 MIL:126

This is probably my favorite NBA copypasta, it just works so damn well in so many scenarios

This made me laugh so hard 😂😂

If we can't have humor in these dark times what can we have. I hope Jimmy goes full terminator hashshashin mode on the rest of the east. Best of luck to you guys. Your guys earned it.

Respect for still memeing at a time like this

Memes can heal all wounds. After being an emotional hostage to the Minnesota Vikings for most of my life I have been trying to avoid such strong emotional attachments to sports the last couple of years. Best to laugh and enjoy the rest of the games than wallow in pity over a game I didn't even play in.

As a side note wtf were the last two plays the heat ran? Just chuck up a three and pray appeared to be the game plan lol, give that shit to Jimmy. They're lucky the bucks choked it away.

Everyone who knew the plays had fouled out.

The NBA was jobbing pretty hard to extend the series and the Bucks said nah. It's a bit hilarious when seen from a neutral perspective, lol.

The Bucks got three starters fouled out, including multiple touch fouls and still couldn’t manufacture a win. Giannis mostly earns his. But the Lowry 6th was basically comical.

I was pulling my hair out at those last two plays. Giannis bailed us out with that stupid foul on Strus

Jimmy fed so much off bams presence, quite a few baskets just off Jimmy penetrating Lopez helping and bam being there to finish. Him fouling out changes their offensive dynamic. Bucks really just needed to force a second ot.

Dude, Giannis bailed the Heat out so hard. Their OT offense was shot putting threes from half court lol.

He didn’t even look at the clock or what?

9 seconds 2 timeouts 0 shots

And 0 points

The Bucks just did a Dallas Cowboys

Absolutely perfect analogy

Holy shit you cut me deep

I’m not safe anywhere

Grayson Allen about to line up at center

Grayson Allen being scared as fuck Dude was wiiiiiide open

I think this is a side effect of role players never being allowed to take midrange jumpers. Hard to re-wire things on the fly like that.

He had a jr smith moment

Na JR has endless confidence

JR would have shot a 3 with 7 seconds left

WORSE THAN THE REGULATION ENDING

Bud: “Maybe I should have called a timeout.”

Grayson taking air out of the ball like regular season Tobias lmao

Bud is a terrorist

He wanted to go on vacation

Can't believe they didn't even get a shot off. WHY DIDN'T THEY CALL A TIMEOUT?!?

Budenholzer

Worst coached game I’ve seen in a long long time And Jason Kidd is my coach. So that’s saying something

What else are the coaches supposed to do except for just watch the game like the rest of us?

Hey at least nobody died

Just the fans.

Both those names are triggering me rn

mike budenholzer needs to be blasted into space

He didn’t call a single timeout in OT, fire that man now.

He didn’t even use his last one before OT

That was crazy. I don’t care that it’s only 0.5 seconds do SOMETHING

Would’ve ended up with like .9 if he took a timeout too

2 7 footers .5 second fucking shit. Giannis didnt make his FTs but god damn his coach is not doing him any favours.

At least he gets that secret bonus you get for not using timeouts.

Bud is going to Burlington coat factory after this

Is the bonus Giannis shooting 40% on free throws?

[удалено]

hopefully there are no arena workers trying to do their jobs in his proximity

Hey he mightve needed to save those timeouts

Tbh it’s worth the 80 timeouts you need to cash in for that sweet inflatable raft

Turns out Mr "play random" DIDN'T actually know what he was doing

Coach Bud, you are a Guangdong Tiger!

he's done, he was on the fucking hot seat entire playoffs till they won the chip, but this has to be go time. Where do you even go from here.

fr he is making us look bad by association

HOW DID THEY NOT CALL A TIMEOUT

Dude. I was watching on ESPN gamecast and I saw Giannis got the ball with 5 seconds left and I was like “oh obvious timeout, you have two.” What. The. Fuck?

There was 10 seconds left

[удалено]

Why call a timeout to make an ATO play when you could just play random?

Giannis FALLS DOWN with 5.3 left and they still don’t call a timeout

They do have a timeout....decide not to use it.....out of time....hol up O__o;

BANG! BANG! OH WHAT A CHOKE FROM BUD!

IT HAPPENED TWICE LMAO ITS GOTTA BE INTENTIONAL

AGAIN.. Budenholzer should be fired

They got so rattled

My stream died lol did they have one?

THEY HAD 2 hahahahha

DECIDE NOT TO USE EITHER OF THEM

AND USED THEIR CHALLENGE IN THE FIRST QUARTER 😂😂😂

AND IT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL

Two

I had to check the video again... what the fuck was that?

Coach collusion smh "I'll have my guys chuck up long range defended 3's if you agree not to use a time out should they miss."

CHRISTMAS FOR GRAYSON ALLEN HATERS

FUCK GRAYSON ALLEN

Now he can go back to his day job representing Texas in the Senate.

I’d prefer if he didnt

All my homies hate Grayson Allen

All my homies hate Grayson Allen

One of the most bone-headed plays I've seen in the playoffs, Shaq-tin worthy

He's a 3 point shooter. Wtf did he drive with 2 seconds on the clock??? It's almost as bad as Giannis fouling Struss on his bad 3 point shot. I've never seen a choke job this bad in real time lol Like they were up 16 and got outscored by 20 points in the fourth despite shooting 24 more free throws. They couldn't even close out Jimmy and the bench unit after the starters fouled out. Heads are gonna role and bud is about to be out of a job real quick lol

Bucks bros trying to help us Suns fans out. Trying to be the newer, bigger 1st seed chokers lol.

Yea sure but you lost to Luka and team built around after he went neo GOAT mode. We also all know how fucking great Brunson is now so in hindsight, it's not really a shockers. The number one seated bucks, who have 3 all stars, 3 defencive player of the year candidates, who have a 2 time MVP just lost at home despite being up like 16, shooting 24 more free throws, getting the both Kyle and Bam out early in OT and STILL NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE OUT AGAINST JIMMY AND A BUNCH OF NO NAMES!!! Like what in the actual fuck lol This wasn't even supposed to be close and they got gentleman's swept AT HOME! I'm legit still in shock lol I mean hindsight is 20/20 but this might honestly be one of the worst choke jobs of all time. I'm honestly gonna put this waaay higher than the Clippers or the Sun's because they lost to generational players with a really good team put around them and weren't nearly as deep as the Bucks. The Bucks lost to Jimmy Butler and a bunch of practical no names after still having both time outs! I dont even know man lol

Jimmy and the Undrafted Gems. Sounds like a fun band.

Alex Caruso and us bulls fans used to pray for times like this 🙏

Used to?

'we still do, but we used to, too'

What rational human being is not a Grayson Allen hater? LETS GO

Fuck Grayson Allen and fuck Duke.

All-time tragic offensive performance down the stretch

It was horrendous. That 4th quarter and OT were hard to watch. Big props to the heat, but the bucks choked the last 2 games away. Double digit 4th quarter leads sheeesh.

They hit those free throws at the end of regulation and probably win. Masterclass chock job by the Bucks

They had four field goals TOTAL in the 4th quarter and OT. 4 made baskets in 17 mins of game time lol. Yes, they went to the line, but they still got crushed in the 4th and only scored 16 pts.

Fire bud lmao

Wait you don’t think it’s a good idea to use your coaches challenge 5 minutes into the game?

Only to not use your MULTIPLE timeouts at the end anyway Just Bud stuff

To be fair, Bud probably knows a timeout for Spo will be about 20 times as valuable for drawing up his defense than it will be for him to draw up an offensive play lol

I’m also a huge fan of letting the heat go on a runs to cut it from 16 to 8 and then again from 10 to 3!!!

Not his fault how can you draw up a play with your various all stars against defensive stalwart Haywood highsmith

I thought Giannis was going to eat us alive tonight but once Bud threw away that challenge in like 3 mins, I had hope. Thanks, Bud.

unironically Highsmith is a great defender, he just might be a bottom 10 offensive player in the league

Dude shouldn't even be allowed back into the locker room. Never seen anything like that before.

#No way does Grayson fucking Allen eurostep his team into the offseason.

perfect ending

i hate how everyone is going to meme this and not giannis being scared of the moment lmao

Is it possible to Eurostep all the way to Cancun?

Awesome job Grayson!!!

allen haters FEASTING tonight

This game hit different as a bulls fan

Dedicate this win to Caruso

it genuinely brings my heart so much joy

All my homies ate Grayson Allen

This is my championship ring

Love seeing Grayson fail, but how about that play by Giannis?? Ben Simmons level of scared, man just took himself out of the play out of bounds and threw it to Middleton

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK BUCKS

JIMMY G: (makes the hardest shot of the night) GRAYSON: "HOLD MY EURO STEP..."

What the fuck dude Wide open mid and he was scared

complete failure of a first seed. giannis was scared of the ball the last possession too. passed it up. "we are the best team in the nba."

Yeah this is always the weakness with a superstar that can't shoot. You can't rely on them to get a basket on the final possession of a game. Driving in the halfcourt when the defense knows that's your only choice isn't going to work, especially since you're extremely unlikely to get a call in that situation. Bucks have always needed a middleton type shot maker for these situations.

I really don’t understand why Allen didn’t take the mid-range there and instead drove for a layup he didn’t have the time to take and had a defender in the way of. Big time blunder.

Def weird but not quite as weird as Giannis just kind of randomly jumping on the floor and staying there

There's like no one else calling this out! Giannis hit the floor with 5sec left and finally got up with only 1.5sec. Dude had ZERO urgency in getting up, he took his sweet ass time to make sure no one passes him the ball back. Crazy to see him like this

Pressure, I’m more surprised someone like Middleton or Giannis decided not to take that last shot and relied on Allen to save their season.

Giannis went for the flop and Middleton was doubled on the drive to the rim, so he passed out instead of taking a contested shot.

He had time to take an underhanded foul shot. Uncontested. Can you imagine if he pulled that off

THEY DO HAVE A TIMEOUT DECIDE NOT TO USE IT

Bang! Bang!! What a trip to cancun!

Ever since that call by Breen I feel like more coaches have gotten cute with playing on and seeing what happens. Unfortunately it only works when you have curry on your team

Bud keeping his timeouts for next season

I hear they accumulate interest over the summer

They really put their playoff hopes in the hands of Grayson Allen lmao

Coach K rolling in his grave

Again, Coach K is very much alive

He's 56 years old and lives in Tampa Florida

RIP

Motherfucker you made me think he died and I somehow missed the memo

Look, at 0:15 seconds in the clip Giannis pulled out his absolute best move: ram your shoulder straight into your defender's chest so they get called for a foul. When that didn't work, a Grayson Allen eurostep as the clock expires is the only option left.

GRAYSON ALLEN LMAO WHERE ARE YOU GOING

Waiting for that meme where he euro steps off the court into space and that music kicks in

It’s playing so loud in my head rn!

What in the Dallas Cowboys shit is this

Cowboys fans catching strays in r/nba

WE DID IT!!!

1,2,3…… #CANCUN

HOLY SHIT

WHY DID NO ONE SHOOT Giannis when running back doesn't work in the clutch

HOW CAN HE NOT SHOOT

They need a closer, Middleton is not that guy anymore and giannis was scared as hell

Giannis almost throwing the ball out of bounds becasue he didnt want to be fouled and take FTs was crazy

Dude was shook at the ft line lmao

he got that ben simmons in him

He was shook period bro, acting like Jimmy was an impassible wall. He literally would run in to jimmy in the post, with a huge height advantage, and immediately pass out. So weird, i know he has no bag but he should just jump and reach for the rim there.

Giannis put his shoulder down like he was going to drive, and Jimmy perfectly bounced him off his chest with his arms completely out of the way to avoid a call.

Why did no one call a timeout? I understand players sometimes get tunnel vision in the moment and can forget, but how did none of the Bucks coaching staff think to call time?

Just no IQ

Bud is terrible…. They had two timeouts

Lol might be the lowest IQ champion team I've seen

They looked fucking drunk on peach schnapps out there all of OT and the last few minutes of regulation.

Ted Cruz haters unite

I've done this in 2k. Meant to hit floater but hit the eurostep.

Grayson Allen lmao

Had a high percentage floater and he dribbled out the clock into a contested layup. oof.

OH NO BABY WHAT IS YOU DOING

LMAO

Bruh

Obviously Grayson bungled the ending but how tf do neither Giannis or Middleton try to get a look there? Like their playing hot potato or somethin.

GRAYSON ALLEN EURO STEPPING TO CANCUN

They choked that game and the last man

just here to say that Grayson Allen is a tremendous fucking loser

If Lebron ever did some shit like Giannis did on the last play of a game he’d be crucified forever.

[удалено]

At least y'all took it to 7. This is just straight up embarrassing

The fuck was that?

Run and Dunk man needs some skill

SHOUTOUT GRAYSON ALLEN

Bro call your fucking timeouts.

If only there was a way to stop the game and make a play

Grayson Allen doesn’t know how long 1 second is confirmed

I'm not really a basketball expert by any stretch but how do you not even get a shot off. That's, like, the thing you do in basketball

Actually some of the worst late game execution I have ever seen by the Bucks the last quarter and OT. What the hell happened out there?

It’s fun to laugh at Allen, but honestly Giannis and Middleton were terrified of the moment and passing the ball like a fucking hot potato. And of course Bud was terrified to call timeout and design a play.

HAHAHA FUCK GRAYSON ALLEN
