The Milwaukee Bucks Twitter account had a field day after they officially eliminated the Miami Heat on Saturday via a first-round sweep. The Bucks took a savage shot at the Heat after humiliating them in the series and apparently, Miami team president Pat Riley took exception.
Shortly after the series ended, the Bucks came out with this tweet:
This ain’t the bubble. 🔥 @calm pic.twitter.com/kkhQSQj5fG

The Bucks were referencing Miami's success in the Disney World bubble last season wherein they went all the way to the NBA Finals. Last year, it was the Heat that eliminated Milwaukee in the second round. The Bucks clearly haven't forgotten about that so they just had to take a savage shot at the Heat after exacting their revenge this season.
When asked to share his thoughts on Milwaukee's post-series jab, Riley admitted that he didn't take too well to their antics:
On the Bucks official twitter account tweeting after their Heat sweep that this isn’t the bubble, Riley said: “I would have never tweeted out something like that.”

Riley is clearly still feeling salty about Miami's disappointing performance in the postseason and he wasn't shy about making his true feelings known.
The Bucks will now progress to the second round where they will be facing the mighty Brooklyn Nets in what should be a tremendous series. As for the Heat, it's back to the drawing board for them in what's going to be a very interesting summer.
The biggest item on Pat Riley's agenda has to be the future of Jimmy Butler, who himself is reportedly seeking a max extension. Miami loves Jimmy and it looks like they're willing to dig deep into their pockets to ensure that their talisman remains with the team for the foreseeable future.
