Barring a miraculous visit to the Fountain of Youth by Dame and Khris, the Bucks aren't going anywhere this playoffs. Their window is gone.
From the Bulls board lol
Non Giannis bucks shot 21-64 while getting open looks from Giannis. Not saying they are right, but I don't think they are delusional aftering watching that game.
Giannis has really been carrying the roster pretty much 85% of the season. Dame is still really good and it’s obvious that his presence has a positive effect on Giannis’s efficiency but it’s still pretty much Giannis and crew. Don’t really think it’s that bad of a thing either.

You don't think they're delusional that the Bulls have 15 ok players? Forget "ok", they've a guy on their roster who doesn't even play basketball anymore.

The real part about it is how common Giannis makes everybody else look by comparison. That's not just these two teams, though. That's everybody. Singular player at the peak of his powers.

Jrue Holiday has a different role with the Celtics. He isn't the lead guard. He has the ball a lot less and is surrounded by shooters. He's shooting 45% on threes and 65% from the corners. Leaving him alone isn't a strategy worth considering, although it's a fun narrative.
On the other hand, the Celtics will have their own defensive worries against the Bucks.
Nothing in Jrue’s history suggests 65% on corner threes is sustainable.
BR has him at 68% on corner threes on the season. That's insane. He shot 46% last year from the corner.
Honestly, that is one of the more ridiculous outlier stats I can remember.

Bulls before every game when they play the Bucks: Hammer Giannis every time he has the ball near the rim.
Bulls after every game when they play the Bucks: We got screwed, look how many free throws Giannis shot.

Dame would instantly be the Bulls best player. Even this version of Dame. So would Midds. Possibly Brook as well.

It's not shocking that mortals shot poorly in a back to back that's their 3rd game in 4 days. The fact that Giannis doesn't let that effect him is further proof he's not mortal.
Celtics would have lost this game by 30.
