Bucks vs Heat: Miami push Milwaukee to a 3-0 loss, fans roast side as 'they never were a championship team'
The Milwaukee Bucks were supposed to wrap up the series in five games. The Miami Heat weren't supposed to play the way they did. And by the end of Game 3 on Friday, Miami turned the heat on to beat the Bucks 115-100 to take a 3-0 lead in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo's efforts, there wasn't much the Bucks could do and while they ponder on how to bouncing back, Twitterati was already roasting the Bucks for a below-par performance and weighed-in on their performance.
"Sucks to be a Bucks fan right now," said one of the fans. It was a simple truth. This was a humiliating loss and most Bucks fans were disappointed.
"I never wanted anything more in sports. Anything more than a Bucks title. In their best chance last season up 2-0 they blew it. And now they’re on the doorstep of a sweep in the second round. In the most important season for Giannis and his decision. I am absolutely crushed," a fan lamented.

And the opinions poured in. "None of this is true of the #Bucks tonight... out coached, out hustled, out played. We missed several wide open looks they couldnt miss," a fan wrote

Is this Giannis' last stint with the team? "The Milwaukee Bucks are finished and blew their best shot. There was no Warriors or Nets to worry about this year and they absolutely blew it. There have to be big changes but it likely won't even matter with those two teams healthy next year. Get ready to say goodbye to Giannis!" a fan opined.

"Does it matter? That was disgraceful all around. Raise your hand if you’re tired of hearing about how good the pre-COVID Bucks were. This team is not built for the Playoffs and Giannis is not an elite player worth the supermax. Regular season stats in the NBA mean shit."

Antetokounmpo finished the night with 21 points, 16 rebounds, and nine assists for a near triple-double, but on the offensive end, there wasn't much he did for the team. Jimmy Butler was the man for Miami as he chipped in with 30 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
To end with, this doesn't come as a surprise for some. "Why is everyone shocked the Bucks are down 3-0 that was never a championship team anyway." a fan tweet read.
