Bucks need to send the reel back to the league with questions. How the hell are they calling him like that?

I was having flashbacks to 2019 Toronto ECF series just hack all game honestly probably the best strategy against him. The refs eventually swallow their whistle.

Darvin watched the Celtics do it too. Garbage. Games like this make me livid. Robbing the best player on the court of what he works for.

61 points on 69 shots. Not very efficient . Lol

So to be clear, here… you just… wanted to run it back?!


I didn't want to run back, that's not what I am saying. In hindsight we would have been a lot better off not doing the Jrue/Grayson for Dame trade.

In hindsight it was a massive mistake, mostly because Dame is grossly overrated.


Griffin was the bigger mistake. Even with that trade, a great coach would make it work better than it has. Griffin nearly torpedoed our season, and now we have the best of a bad situation, which is a coach known for blowing big leads, but still generally better at running plays and man management than Grief.

If we’re playing from behind, we’re always gonna struggle to pull it out.

I agree. It has to be Giannis. I love the guy but I think he's very hard to play with and has made Mids extra valuable as he seems to be the only guy to ever have consistent chemistry with Giannis.

Every game Giannis has sat this year I feel like everyone has played better. Players get traded and their shooting percentages go up.

Dame & Beas sleeping here. Beas actively took a switch on Reaves to start OT & then let him walk into the paint.

Griffin was a dumb hire, but even if you never fire Bud or had hired Nurse. I think the results so far would be pretty much the same.

Because of Dame. People think Dame is a superstar, but he's really just Mo Williams with a green light.

If Dame is your #2 guy and your expectation is the NBA Finals. There is a 110% chance you are going to fall short of your expectations.

The move that could maybe save things would be replacing Beasley in the starting 5 with AJ Green.

But I am going to assume that has a 99% chance of not happening with the fact that Doc still treats AJ Green like a 10th man.

It's hilarious how Green gets like 10 minutes a game and then Beasley will be out there for long stretches. Beasley played 40 minutes to Green's 12. That's hilariously bad coaching.

Lillard 9-29, Middleton 4-15 and Giannis can't make fts. Not much more too it and not that big of a deal in the grand scheme. Awful shooting night.

I almost wish the game would have gone into 10 overtimes.

Just to see how many wide open 3's Reaves would have to hit until the Bucks decided to start guarding him...lol.

Luckily this game was more about pride than standings but what a clunker. It started like the OKC game finished but finished like my 8yr old clogged the toilet. Honestly, not a whole lot of positives from this one. Next

I wish I could get to where I believe our inconsistency during the regular season doesn't matter at all.

Should have clarified down the stretch. Gotta make free throws when you're only at the line half as many times as you ought to be.

But mostly Midds doing the deuce dropping.

Haha never forget Mo's shoulder hair.

I am honestly not even being hyperbolic or sarcastic when I say that Dame is basically Mo Williams with a green light. They're about the same defensively and Mo probably would have put up similar offensive numbers if he played in this era and if he had the green light to shoot 30+ shots anytime he wanted.

The thing I hate most about games like this is now I can’t watch anything basketball related and have to stay off social media or I’ll just continue to be irritated. Who gives a **** about Johntay Porter, the NBA needs to investigate the Lakers with this free throw disparity stuff. It’s unbelievable the calls they get and get away with. No excuse but still, Tony Brothers must sleep on a mountain of 100$ bills Lebron gives him. I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I were him. It’s shameful.

Khris trying to will shots in the 4th while he was cold was a total downer. After the way he came back this past week, that just stunk. Should've tried to make plays for others in that moment.
