<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Milwaukee Bucks</strong></a> are in huge trouble. They trailed for most of Game 2 of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> playoffs vs. the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami </a></strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hea</strong>t</a> and it seems like they just can’t catch a break. However, their close and heartbreaking loss in Game 2 was a treasure for the internet, as it led to <strong>some of the funniest memes and reactions you’ll ever see.</strong></p>
<p>The Bucks managed to tie thegame with quite a controversial foul called on <strong>Goran Dragic.</strong> <strong>Khris Middleton</strong> sank three free throwsto tie the game at 114 after trailing for 6 points with few seconds left in the clock.</p>
<p>Miamihad a couple of seconds left in the clock and Milwaukee managed to trap <strong>Jimmy Butler </strong>in the corner. Butler, who’s not a good three-point shooter, fired a prayer that was nowhere near close to the rim but<strong> Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong> seemed to foul him after closing out to help <strong>Wesley Matthews.</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p>The- controversial – ruling on the field was that Butler had to take a couple of free throws with no teams lining up and no time left on the clock, <strong>meaning that knocking down one of the two freebies gave his team the win.</strong></p>
<p>Needless to say, a merciless Jimmy Bulter left nothing to chance and<strong> sank both shots </strong>from the charity stripe to drop the Bucks to a 0-2 hole. Here, we’ll show you the funniest memes and reactions from Giannis’ defensive meltdown and that controversial call.</p>

<p>The Bucks had the best record in the regular season but have struggled to live up to that standard in the playoffs. <strong>Mike Budenholzer</strong> somewhat refuses to play the reigning MVP (who’s just 25 years old) more minutes and his rotations have been a disaster thus far.</p>

<p>Now, the Bucks are on the verge of another disappointing playoff exit. This time, however, it could mean the end of the Giannis Antetokounmpo era, as there’s growing speculation of him leaving the team if they don’t make the Finals this season. <strong>At least we got a good laugh and <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Twitter stays undefeated.</strong></p>

Funniest memes and reactions from the Bucks' epic loss to the Heat in the NBA playoffs

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Miami Heat </strong></a>upset the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Milwaukee Bucks</strong></a> in Game 1 of the <strong>Eastern Conference Semifinals</strong>. The Bucks had the best record in the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>regular season</strong> and entered the game as 6-point favorites, yet the Heat ended up on top with a 115-104 win.</p>
<p><strong>Jimmy Butler</strong> carried the load for <strong>Erik Spoelstra’s</strong> side with a 40-point performance. Moreover, he took over in clutch time and scored 14 of his team’s final 16 points, as well as getting a huge steal over <strong>George Hill </strong>to seal the win.</p>
<p>That’s why many people questioned and called out <strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo </strong>for not embracing the challenge of guarding Butler one-on-one, especially considering<strong> he was just named Defensive Player of the Year.</strong></p>

<h2>Jimmy Butler explained why Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t guard him late in Game 1</h2>
<p>Giannis said he didn’t ask for that defensive assignment because he’s going to do whatever the coach asks him to do. Butler, on the other hand,<strong> sided with him</strong> and claimed that he wasn’t surprised to see him stay in the weakside.</p>
<p><em>“Uh, no. I’m not surprised. I look at it like this<strong>. He is one of the best help-side defenders that there are in the league</strong>. And that’s what he’s been doing all year long. And I think you can’t get stuck on what we do. I think you’ve really just got to focus on what you do – you’ve been doing it all year,”</em> Butler told The Athletic.</p>

Jimmy Butler explains why Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't guard him late in Game 1 - Bolavip US

<p>This year’s regular-season is something we had never seen in any major sports league. The <strong>NBA MVP </strong>won’t have to play a full 82-game <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-bubble-2020-teams-schedule-and-how-to-watch-games-20200728-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">schedule</a> to earn the award, as the season was shortened and there arejust 8 remaining games to the 60+ every franchise had played.</p>

<p>Most people already had their minds set regarding this year’s awards. Whether it was <strong>MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year,</strong> or whatever; only a major turn of events could make the media go a different way to what they had already decided.</p>
<p>But, then again, this has been one ofthe most exciting MVP races we’ve seen. The same can be said for pretty much every single regular-season award. To put it in context, we’ll let you know about the<strong> odds for every 2020 <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> award.</strong></p>
<h2>Odds for 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year</h2>
<p>Even though <strong>Zion Williamson </strong>was outstanding and quite impressive early on, the fact that he only played a handful of games took a major toll on his chances of winning the Rookie of the Year award ahead of <strong>Ja Morant</strong>.</p>

<h2>Odds for 2020 NBA Sixth Man of the Year</h2>
<p>Even though most fans predicted <strong>Lou Williams</strong> will take the award home again, it seems like it’ll be <strong>Dennis Schroder</strong> the one who gets the nod this time, even ahead of Williams, <strong>Montrezl Harrell</strong>, and former MVP<strong>Derrick Rose.</strong></p>

NBA MVP odds 2020: Who will win the regular season awards?

NBA MVP odds 2020: Who will win the regular season awards? - Bolavip US

<p><strong>The NBA season </strong>is almost underway again. Players had a lot of time to heal, recover, and watch film ahead of the resumption of the season and it feels like, for the first time in <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>history, anything can happen in the playoffs.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-66">    <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <a href="https://stats.nba.com/returntoplay2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orlando bubble</a> is going to be a battle to the death. Players will leave nothing to chance as they know the playoffs are just around the corner. A good stretch could take them the distance and <strong>win the NBA championship.</strong></p>
<p>But even among all the great players that will take the hardwood in Orlando, there are a few that will have a lot of pressure on their shoulders when basketball is back. That’s why today, we’re going to name our top<strong> 10 players to watch in the NBA’s Orlando bubble.</strong></p>

<h2>10. Jayson Tatum</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_jayson_tatum_crop1594669410019.jpg_1030179834_e70b8192.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Tatum was shooting 39% from deep this season. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jayson Tatum</strong> was one of the hottest scorers in the league before the hiatus. He took a step forward as the Celtic’s leader and recently claimed that they have a legit shot at winning the Championship.</p>
<p>The 21-year-old is clearly one of the most talented and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/Top-25-young-NBA-players-set-to-become-stars-20200429-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promising </a>two-way players in the league and the <strong>Boston Celtics</strong> have enough depth to go the distance in the Eastern Conference. He’s been getting praise from legends like Scottie Pippen and it’s time he proves that he’s the real deal.</p>
<h2>9. Luka Doncic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_luka_doncic_crop1594669483288.jpg_1030179834_3f1aff35.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Doncic is averaging 28.7 points per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Nobody expected the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> to be championship contenders right away but they have one of the most talented duos in the world on <strong>Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingi</strong>s, so they could mess around and upset a couple of favorite teams along the way.</p>
<p>Doncic has plenty of <strong>playoffs experience from his time overseas </strong>and has a history of shining when it matters the most, so it’ll be nice to see him perform under pressure and see whether he can knock down a contender or not.</p>
<h2>8. Zion Williamson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_zion_williamson_crop1594669520000.jpg_1030179834_43917aad.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Zion is shooting 58% from the floor. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>New Orleans Pelicans</strong> have the easiest schedule for the remainder of the regular season and are currently 4 games behind the 8th seed. Whether they’ll be able to make the playoffs or not will almost entirely depend on how <strong>Zion Williamson</strong> delivers.</p>
<p>Williamson already proved that he’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent. He’s got an NBA-ready body and dominated opposing players like high-schoolers during his first 19 games as a rookie. <strong>The reigning 1st overall pick </strong>is poised for stardom, especially if he leads his team to the playoffs right now. He’s a human highlight film.</p>
<h2>7. Nikola Jokic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_nikola_jokic_crop1594669570688.jpg_1030179834_5b243ab1.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Jokic has posted 12 triple-doubles this season. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Nikola Jokic</strong> is one of the most talented big men we’ve ever seen but his shape let a lot to be desired for NBA standards. He’s now lost over 20 pounds and looks in the best shape of his career so it’ll be interesting to see how that translates to the hardwood.</p>
<p>Nobody has the<strong> Denver Nuggets</strong> on their plans but they have enough depth and talent to at least make the Western Conference Finals and a healthy, slim Nikola Jokic is terrible news for the rest of the league.</p>
<h2>6. Chris Paul</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_chris_paul_crop1594669616286.jpg_1030179834_374d0fc2.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Paul has 9,607 career assists. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Paul </strong>is one of the top 5 greatest point guards in the history of the game. He’s proved it once again by taking the rebuilding <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder </strong>to the 5th best record in the West and has made them a legit dark horse candidate for the bubble.</p>
<p>Paul has never made an appearance in the NBA Finals and that’s the only stain on his remarkable resume. You know he’ll play with a chip on his shoulder and as if every game was his last to have the chance to <strong>finally prove his doubters wrong.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ckeditor-poll" data-path="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1594670117939" id="ckePolls_1594670146320" style="text-align:left"> <span data-src="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1594670117939"></span></div>
<p></p>
<h2>5. James Harden</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_james_harden_crop1594669647973.jpg_1030179834_2b97e73a.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Harden is leading the league with 34.4 points per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>James Harden</strong> is the most unstoppable scorer in the league but he has a long history of underperforming and choking in the playoffs. Now, he’ll likely have to deliver without Russell Westbrook (sick) by his side, so that’ll put even more pressure on his shoulders.</p>
<p>Harden has had three straight MVP-caliber seasons but is finally time he steps up in the playoffs. If Westbrook is unable to suit up, he’ll have to do it all again for the small-ball <strong>Houston Rockets </strong>and their high-octane offense. He’s lost a lot of weight during quarantine andcould post insane stat lines.</p>
<h2>4. Damian Lillard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_damian_lillard_crop1594669681870.jpg_1030179834_7fbf062e.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Lillard is averaging 7.8 assists per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Damian Lillard </strong>was recently announced as one of NBA 2K20’s cover athletes so he’ll have to back down the talk with top-tier performances in the hardwood. The<strong> Portland Trail Blazers</strong> are three games behind the 8th seed in the West and it’ll be up to him to lead them to the playoffs again.</p>
<p>The Blazers will reportedly have <strong>Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins</strong> back in the lineup and that’ll give them a major boost but they’ll only get as far as Lillard can get them. He’s got unlimited range as a shooter and has proven to be the clutchest player in the league,.</p>
<h2>3. Kawhi Leonard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_kawhi_leonard_crop1594669715666.jpg_1030179834_e94d672d.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Leonard is averaging 1.8 steals per game.

<p><strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong> made a strong case for being the best player in the world last season. He led the Toronto Raptors to their first-ever Finals appearance and Championship and is now trying to do the same for the <strong>Los Angeles Clippers </strong>and win his third ring with three different franchises.</p>
<p>There’s no doubt that Leonard is<strong> the best two-way player in the league.</strong> He’s finally back at full strength after two seasons of load management so the time for excuses is over. The Clippers are about to unleash the Klaw after four months of rest and that’s terrifying.</p>
<h2>2. Giannis Antetokounmpo</h2>

<p><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong> is reportedly leading the polls to win both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year award this season. Still, there are serious concerns regarding his ability to dominate in the playoffs when defenses start collapsing the paint and double or triple-teaming him.</p>
<p><em>The Greek Freak</em> can play and guard all five spots in the floor and he’s clearly a great leader for his team but he’ll need to start knocking down shots and/or creating for others if the Bucks want to translate their best record in the league <strong>to a trip to the NBA Finals.</strong></p>
<h2>1. LeBron James</h2>

<p>We’re about to see<strong> LeBron James</strong> as we have never seen him before. He’s about to enter the playoffs after 4 months to fully heal his body, meaning he’ll be at his peak physically despite being 35 years old. Honestly, the only thing that could slow him down this year was his age and now that he’s well-rested, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop him.</p>
<p>James is on a mission. He knows that winning a ring with the Lakers and leading three franchises to Championships will have a huge impact on his legacy. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/Ranking-the-top-40-of-LeBron-James-teammates-from-worst-to-best-NBA-20200527-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The King</a> is one of the greatest playoff performances of all time and <strong>he’s ready to unleash his wrath</strong> and demolish every single player who stands on his way.</p>
