Mike Budenholzer Following the collapse in the final seconds of Game 5 against the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks supporters vented their anger at Grayson Allen and Mike Budenholzer. Twitter was quite active after Milwaukee’s unexpected elimination from the playoffs and loss of the series.
In the opening round of the playoffs, the Miami Heat handed the Milwaukee Bucks a major shock. The Heat, the eighth-seed in the East, astonished both viewers and observers by winning the series 4-1.
Both sides fought till the end, despite the one-sided nature of the series score. Game 5, on the other hand, saw Milwaukee have a real collapse.
Jimmy Butler and the Heat thoroughly destroyed Milwaukee after building their advantage to as much as 16 points at the conclusion of the third. Eventually, overtime was called in the game. This is where everything fell apart.
With three seconds remaining in the game’s last possession, Grayson Allen received the ball and attempted a game-tying jumper. Allen mishandled the possession by waiting too long to get a shot off, despite not being a first-choice player in these circumstances.

The bucks just lost a game where they shot 45 FTs (no Embiid and Harden don't play for them) and fouled out Heat's best 2 big men… Goodness, please no more Giannis is the best player in the league, please for basketball sake.

Imagine your season is on the line and it ends with Grayson Allen eurostepping at the buzzer😭

In the end, Milwaukee’s collapse was topped off with a Mike Budenholzer lacklustre performance. Middleton was compelled to pass the ball up since his scoring path had been blocked. But Allen’s choice to Eurostep his way to a layup with fewer than two seconds remaining was, to put it mildly, absurd.
Miami has, though, displayed tremendous depth and tenacity throughout this series. The Heat will be a force to be reckoned Mike Budenholzer with if Butler likewise seems to be the best version of himself.
What is next for Grayson Allen and the Bucks?
After his performances this season, Mike Budenholzer Grayson Allen’s future with the Milwaukee Bucks will be quite questionable. Allen was a valuable asset throughout the regular season, but he wasn’t as effective during the postseason.
Last year, Allen was added to the team to take Donte DiVincenzo’s spot. He had a lot of defensive potential at this time and was also a proficient three-point shooter.
Beginning with the next offseason, Allen will be an unrestricted free agent. With players like Pat Connaughton, who are more valuable, Milwaukee may decide to go a different path.
