“How did Jimmy beat you?”
“He did”
“Okay”
worst answer from any quest recently lol
@@lpy1102 for real. IMO, PJ Tucker and Tim Legler have been by far the best guests
@@FSVR54 yup, but I would like see Paul George and JJ Reddick having a crossover podcast, that will be fantastic
Lmaooooooo!!!!!!
@@lpy1102if khris changed teams in the offseason, i can guarantee you that he would be much much MUCH more exact about the mistakes and reasons why they lost.
Imo its a lesson for jj here, that its not realistic to bring on number 2 guy on a team that just FAILED their expectations and expect that guy to go in detail of what exactly went wrong...
He even said "we studied it, we watched it, we learned from it" which means they probably had a team film session and coaches told then who effed up on each critical possesion, but khris wont just throw his team under the bus - which is very logical to me.
Its like if you invited steph and expect him to talk in detail of klays mistakes
Middleton can’t remember anything LMAO
He’s high asf
Probably high on painkiller drugs lol
Happens when you deal with traumatic events 🤣
He’s playing it safe 😂
@@Cashmoneez😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead
Events so traumatic Middleton doesn't remember anything 😂😂😂
It’s apparent to everyone that watched the series that the lack of adjustments were a major factor, Khris wont say that especially because of what coach bud was going through. As a bucks fan myself I don’t hold anything against bud I can only imagine losing someone that close to me and trying to focus on coaching in the nba playoffs. It’s one of those things that’s bigger than basketball. Coach bud will always be remembered in Milwaukee, this year was just a combination of really unfortunate timing and the heat playing great basketball
I really don't think people are talking about that nearly enough, yea it was a collapse, but their head coach was not in a mental space to go and no one should blame him. Giannis being hurt just made it look even worse
@@shangojackson60 Excuse after excuse!! When will Bucks fans just admit they got outplayed 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Loool bud is known to never make adjustments
@@chocothunder387 his footwork is a skill his playmaking is a skill his defensive timing is a skill, he’s improved as an all around player every year he didn’t just put on 50 pounds of muscle and magically become a great player. Second of all have we just forgotten that shaq existed if you’re able to physically dominate why would you make things harder on yourself and your team. Also he’s one of 6 active players to be the best player on a championship team team he doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone. What I will critique is his freethrow shooting, that’s one thing he hasn’t improved on and he needs to get better at, and it may be more of a mental thing, in the close out finals game he shot 17-19 from the line and then this year closed out the series by shooting 10-23. I can fully concede that Giannis let his team down by being awful from the line in that game, and in that same game he had 38 and 20. He doesn’t need to change the way he plays or move away from the paint to please fans, but he can improve on his shooting ability especially from the line. That is one skill that he lacks consistently. There’s only 1 player in the word better than giannis and Giannis don’t need to play like jokic to be successful they both dominate the game in different ways
@@Treyball67 he has no footwork lol. League lets him travel and push-off like Lebron. Two manufactured stars, zero ball skills
I thought Giannis should’ve picked up Jimmy. Jimmy was getting whatever he wanted on the inside bullying Jrue.
I blame bud. No way they should have lost that serious
Giannis has been consistent in his deference to Bud so it's really on Bud imo
Yes but then you now have brook lopez guarding pick & rolls instead of being the help side defender. While obviously you’d prefer Giannis in help, Brook is a + defender in help and a liability on ball against 80% of the leagues Not saying you’re right or wrong but there’s pros and cons to every gameplan. I’m sure they just didn’t think Jimmy was good enough to basically avg 40 on the best perimeter defender in the L
Maybe, but Giannis worked on Jimmy so well the first time in 2021 largely because he gave Jimmy a ton of space on the perimeter and dared him to shoot the 3, then took away his drives to the rim because of this. Jimmy shot 44% from 3 against the Bucks in 2023, so it's a different story.
@@deez9805Or they thought it was gonna be like what happened against the nets with KD. They probably thought they could let Jimmy do his thing and try to beat them on his own and he never wore down and the bucks weren’t their best.
I think if you look at many of the Bucks playoff series as a whole there were often adjustment issues going back to the Toronto series, and both Miami series there were issues. I also think Bud’s firing had more to with the combination of series where they seemed like collapses. I think the Bucks organization saw that and realized it wasn’t going to change. I really thought he would’ve gotten the last year though.
JJ love your work! 🤗
thanks
JJ best work is still in front of him@@JJRedick
@@JJRedickthank you for your hard work Mr plumber
If you watch the entire interview, in the beginning, JJ said this was Middletons first ever podcast interview. 2) Kris is not good at interviews. He's basically quiet and unassuming. 3) a lot has happened in khris life the last year. Several surgeries , as well as his father unexpectedly passed away . His 5 year head coach fired . So forgive him if he doesn't remember all the details to make a lot of Internet junkies happy. I've coach young black men that are not good at talking , and talking to the media . Everybody can't be Stephan a. Smith. But I know this , Kris Middleton is a classy person that minds his business . Not like Kevin Porter Jr. Strangling women.
I'm glad he's on the bucks and he's a world champion and a 3 time all-star . Selected by the coaches .
Search "heat rockets 2023 lob" Heat ran the exact same play with Gabe lobbing it to Jimmy to win the game with .7 seconds left. Jimmy also jumped so high he hit his shoulder on the backboard and his hand was at the top of the box.
Folks forget that play
Yeah! I did some shorts on that shot! One of the perfectly well executed plays.
As a heat fan I don't like the bucks Middleton goes off against us with his shot making and I get mad at him watching him do that to my team. Shout out to Middleton for giving us our credit saying we were the better team in that series and not saying we got lucky or it was a fluke much respect
Pro Athletes don't call losses a fluke or luck.
@@quiteknight50Tatum implied Miami's bubble run was a fluke, same as Giannis. Literally everyone implied Miami making it 2 straight ECF and 2 finals in 4 years was "luck" and a "fluke".
@@Aerolian word? I mean the bubble makes a little sense. Anyone who does under any other circumstances are petty.
I Don't like tatum and giannis anyway.
@@Aerolian Giannis said they were built for the bubble. He basically gave them credit but you choosing to take it as disrespect thats a you problem
@@quiteknight50unless ur LeBron of course
The moment they were down , a game they should have started the double. Sticking with something that isnt working , isnt smart.
I haven’t recovered from that L 💔
And we hope you never will
Recovered? You play for the bucks 🤣
Understandable that was a beat down
Me too! We didnt even get a final shot
@@user-op9gm3cb6yI hoped y’all wouldn’t get dame 😊
because Bud is a "consistent" coach.
He wont adjust.😃
Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that, 8 days from now, I will have been sober for 4 years.
Cheers!
Alcohol? Weed? Cocain? Meth?
That's a huge deal!! Major props bruv
Jimmy was just in that mode man
5:47 - That decision cost coach Bud his job and the Bucks that series. Whatever Jrue is saying and his reputation. If he's getting torched and not getting the job done you have to try something else and change the game plan. Jrue is an all time great... nothing to take away from him it was just a bad matchup. Butler too tall and too on fire.
Couldn’t agree more. Especially in those final few games, I was begging for a switch, or a double, or anything other than what Butler made a clear mismatch the whole series
Coach Bud should've been fired much sooner. Makes 0 adjustments and isnt vocal enough to his players. What the hell does he do?
Middleton giving the most PC answers like it's a press conference 😂. Keep it a buck, y'all was scared
Thats should tell you some things if you read between the lines
@@GibranCamus-fh2wkdam lmfaooo
he's not a good interview
Giannis should have guarded Jimmy. He played him perfectly in the 2021 series aswell as Tucker i have no clue why Bud went away from what worked.
after game 3 it was clear Jrue couldn’t handle Jimmy, and they let him get sauced every game
Giannis is not a good on ball defender. Much better in helpside...2021 he locked up Jimmy partly because the Heat were fatigued from the short offseason after the bubble
@@atrain9610not true aaron gordon just locked him up🤦🏽♂️
@@KevooMufasa7excuses🥱
Bud always wants Giannis roaming in the paint... he doesnt adjust and Butler could've dropped 100 points he wouldn't change a thing.
Ever since this series I haven’t stopped smiling
Really? Getting knocked around by Denver wasn't enough to wipe it away?
Heat fans love there almost championships only to get clapped the next year
@@alaye5583 where was your team? oh, at home I forgot haha
@@SMade33 yeah you are exactly right and I wasn't smiling.
Same, glad to see Giannis being exposed as Greek Yogurt more than anything. When he can't just run and dunk, he is essentially Dan Gadzuric
Connectivity💯💯
JJ love your podcast. For me, you’re the best analyst in the business!!!
Def better then Ramona
Middleton not being how he was before the injury is definitely hurting the bucks.
Jrue is a great defender but if a star player is hot, no defender can stop them 1 on 1
Dumb Logic but ok🤷🏾♂️🙄🙄
@@dewaynerobvais4030 which means....send double team and idk why they underutilized the pickup of jae crawford....Poor coaching on Bud as usual.
Marion Beauchamp and Andre Jackson Jr are going to be big for them giving them depth at the wing also I believe Beasley is going to like Wes Mathews with shooting but not at good as a individual defender . I also like Grayson Allen to have another very solid year and a full year of Jrue Kris Brook and Giannis .
Who would have known how quick things would change lol
@@trevorburton3290 so true I expect a bounce back season from Pat & Jae
Middleton would be a great addition to any lockerroom.
JJ always asking the tough questions
Jimmy lit their asses up!
Butler Owns them Frauds!! We knew 2021 was a fluke 🤷🏾♂️
@@dewaynerobvais4030I don't remember but wasn't giannis injured???
@@burrybondz225 Here we go again, Stop using those damn injuries as excuses!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@burrybondz225the only game they won was the game he missed 🤣🤣
@@burrybondz225yeah Bucks win one game without him
Bucks players are traumatized when asked about the Heat😂😂
They got a ring to console them, what do the Heat have?
Multiple?
@@alainlamour5868 yes
3 rings actually. And about to get Dame and a 4th. I promise this wasn't the dig you thought it was lol@@lm7_gio
@@chill1224. no no, I mean we have multiple rings in response to the first guy. You can’t be new kid on the block about winning and try and big bro Heat fans. We BEEN UP.
good words from middleton... no excuses
no, Giannis was terrified by the word 'failure', rather than saying- yes, we failed, but it happens and not a catastrophe
Yeah Khris was never ready to play last season. That’s what Giannis was referring to.
Excuses as always 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I can’t tell who’s Middleton is looking at.. JJ or the camera guys
The disrespect Tyler Herro get is crazy. We lost a 20 points score also and trust me he remember. 🤣
Appreciate Khris being about this subject. Jimmy was such a monster that series. Check the full interview for more: th-cam.com/video/UqAWk8bwjhs/w-d-xo.html
About about
@@NBAStatsGuru lmao thank you
@@JJRedick being about?
Hey JJ :)
Because of what bud went through and what he means to kris he’s not gonna put him down. Sometimes y’all gotta look deeper
Can us the people get AD on the pod sheesh that would go crazy
No wonder gianis wanna leave this mf cant remember anything lmfaoo 🤣🤣
Why do you care ?
Giannis gets injured, Coaches loss of family, not expecting them to take a lead like that…. This was just bad and it’s something that will fuel for revenge
Revenge 😂😂 sit down Bucks fan!!
Herro breaks his hand and dipo tears his patella no reason for yall to lose
*No Herro
*No Oladipo
*Heat played 2 play-in games
*8th seed
*Bucks blowout Heat without Giannis in game 2( media clown the Heat that time)
*JIMMY BUTLER dropping 56 on Bucks while having 3 all-nba defense on their starting line up
cant mess with postseason jim, maaaaanggg
Wes Matthews should've guarded Jimmy. He was brought on to guard wings. Jimmy was cooking Jrue and Jrue let his ego get the better of him.
Is JJ Redick coming back to First Take?
JJ lunch on me in NY
No wonder they messed up the end of game assignments, he can’t remember anything 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
People mentioning “well, bucks have a ring so whatever” 😂 Heat have rings too bro 😂
Jimmy doesn't have one though 😄😜🤙
Delusional Bucks fans as always!! That ring in 2021 was a Anomaly and can only happen with injuries and Luck 🤷🏾♂️
@@adamstewart247 😂 Kyle and Kevin do though… so there’s that. Spo has more than Giannis… Pat Riley has more than the entire Bucks organization.. see how silly this can get?
@@danielbrown4395💯
Not with anyone in that squad. Oh, Haslem :)
This title funny af 😂😂
I swear he reminds me of the Rat from Ratatouille. 😂😂😂 my bad Kris
Middleton is pretty underrated, or at least not praised enough, he's the brain along with Jrew, but Giannis's stardom is keeping them in the shade.
Middleton suffers from Amnesia lol
I don't wanna hear the "Giannis was hurt" thing, every game he played, they were down and lost, one game Bucks won was withOUT Giannis.
Props to JJ, thought he would shy away from asking this, because he is a GianniSexual, good to see him actually try and be objective for once.
Facts plus he missed damn near 20 free throws in the elimination game. Coach bud can’t help him with that
Where Tommy at?
Khris still has PTSD 🤣. Let that man move on with his life ,its a new season coming up. JJ trying to make him relive Jimmy transforming into Michael Jordan and dropping 50 plus on the Bucks.
After the trade, Jrue’s stock with other teams should go way up after Khris said this.
trying give it in your all
As a heat fan 🥴😭
Aside from lack of adjusment by coach bud, jrue forgot to make a shot, and jimmy caught fire until the ecf...and he was missing shots when he faced denver
everyone here blaming coach bud and not that im saying he did a good job (he made no adjustments), but acting like hes 100% at fault when giannis was absolutely abysmal at fts that also costed the game. While I feel like the coach was a part of the reason they lost, they’ve become too much of a scapegoat for teams when they lose.
I don’t think anyone was stopping jimmy that series. I remember jimmy driving into the paint and getting past Giannis and Lopez for an and 1 and thinking, yeah this shits over 💀jimmy was torching from the three too
Ya
Wuddup, Steph
They failed! Number 1 seed beat by play in team.
Facts.
Bud lost that series
he did not make any adjustments
1. Bucks were the bigger team, only big heat had Bam. How u not adjust to pound the paint?
2. So many times I saw Gabe on lopez in the paint. Y not go thru him when i see such a mismatch?
Etc
such a horrible gameplan
Jrue too small to handle Jimmy!!
My boy khris do not look like he b hoopin fr
Where’s your buddy? 😢
Bud would’ve been got fired regardless, that ring in 21’ bought him time
That’s just bad coaching he’s a great defender but clearly he wasn’t tall enough to guard jimmy you gotta put Freak on him or you gotta double also with that deep drop ya’ll were giving him the middy which is the shot he wanted at some point you gotta say hey this isn’t working let’s try something different
You shoulda guarded him yall the same size. Ya point guard cant be ya best defender!!!!!!
If they doubled him. Then they would’ve left our shooters open.
bro cant remember sh*t 🤣🤣
yea
Man thats the problem with athletes most of them dont care to win the money is too much anyway, you ll never see pippen or rodman talk like that, talk like they are just there
So Jrue said "I got him" and yall said "aight"...so when Jrue was getting cooked yall just "👀"🤷🏽♂️
6lack in the NBA
Bucks were collapsed after Holiday was cooked by Jimmy
He’s talking to Jj like he’s media. Well his is but… still
Khris "Amnesia" Middleton
You can't remember your name
Cuz Budenholzer was AWFUL at adjustments.
Does khris have CTE or is he just waffling
as a bucks fan i literally hate jimmy butler, i don’t care how likeable he is he disrespected jrue holiday and i hate the whole heat team they would have lost if kevin love didn’t take a dangerous charge and injure giannis the bucks are still the best team in the league the heat had a lucky run and lost to denver haha they will never make it back to the playoffs without damien lillard i hope jimmy butler never plays in another playoff serires
Because coach bud decided to throw
The Bucks didn't lose because of Jimmy, they lost because they couldn't hit a free throw.
Yeah they didn’t lose because of the guy that averaged 38-6-5 on 60% shooting
Middleton is having an espn type conversation and being boring
Middleton torches The Warriors
Jimmy butler is like Michael Jordan but not as skilled on offense. Imagine if Jordan played in today's game. That would be Jimmy butler with 1.5x production on offense.
He already out dueled lebron in 2020 with no help.
Jordan would've destroyed the nba still.
wtf is a playoff jimmy?
Himmy Butler when he actually starts playing his hardest when games become meaningful😂
@@vampiricacademiaancientlib2225 he isn't clutch or good in the playoffs
Can you imagine. Giannis vs jokic in the finals. We got robbed...
I mean the heat dismantled the bucks in 5 games and it wasn't even a close series so I wouldn't really consider that being "robbed" but okay
@@heatvshaters420ehhhh tbh that would’ve been a better matchup than the heat… Jokic and Murray was eating on them made the nuggets look like they was playing a make a wish team i feel brook lopez would have “contained” Jokic better than Bam
Okay and the heat might have matched up with the warriors better than the celtics did in 2022, but they didn't make it, so that argument is invalid. I'll never understand people who make the hypothetical "what if" arguments. It's not even like the Bucks were close to making the finals@@Averagedre
@@heatvshaters420 it wasn’t a what if its a fact bud the heat have never had size and you expect them to matchup well against the best big man in the league? thats why the bucks would’ve been a better matchup they have better size
JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
TELL HIM I SAID THANKS!
@@MrRufusRToyotaHE SAID, “YOU’RE WELCOME”.
you coach is just average.
good coach would react and double-team jimmy.
but you coach just did not want to hurt jrue's feelings.
popovic would react, spoelstra would react. malone would react.
but these coaches got balls
You can tell Kris and giannis don’t like each other no more
massive assumption to make from a podcast lol. "You can tell" Please, get real.
Khris you sound like you gave up in the series
Gotta be the most boring guest on the show 😭 I feel like I’m watching a post game press conference
I’m fr first
Excellent work
@@JJRedickConnectivity
Stil don't matter the buks got a ring 💍 😏
A Lucky Ring🙄🙄 Wake me up when Bucks are actually a serious contending team 🥱🥱
@dewaynerobvais4030 if anything this ring means more than kds .. the grind don't stop..buks been on the Mapp
Oh.
All Budenholzer fault
That push off by Jimmy on Connaughton before catching&put that ball to go extra time should have been called. There s no way that play should been allowed. Too much tiny event like that allowed them to go through.
NBA reviewed that play already. There was a miscall as there was a foul on the bucks before the pushoff, so it would have been free throws for Miami either way
@@aliqobe yeah but there is no guarantee of making both TF so
@@arnaudnirin3950no guarantee that shot goes in as well
@@jayzonsy3660 yeah but it went in so and also there is more pressure on the TF line when the game on the line.
Middleton is inconsistent and not contributing enough
Copying Joe Rogans studio interior.....
I’ve always hated watching Buddenhouzer (I don’t care hoe you spell it) coaching, no reason to lose last year OR (hot take) Nets vs Bucks didn’t deserve to go 7 Bucks should have won in 5 worst case 6 and you can see the Celtics swept the Nets the next year
If Giannis didnt get hurt, it would had been a better finals.😢
Same like nets not getting kyrie hurt in that series bucks don’t win that series
@@heatvshaters420kd didn’t get hurt that year, kyrie did
Boi Stop with these delusional takes!! The one game y’all won was without Giannis and y’all steady saying this y’all must be that butt hurt 🤣🤣
