PG - Bucks Come Up Short in Game 5

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

Bud is at the top of the list of people that need to be gone next year.

yep. and aII in for chris paui

I'll give Mids a pass, he's just not good enough to take over most of the time when he's the focus of the defense. He still tried to do it. Donte has nuts but almost all of the rest of dudes have no interest in taking pressure shots. I've seen enough of Hill playing hot potato, nobody else really wanted the ball. eh

Not nearly as upset as last year. Maybe it’s the bubble, maybe it’s the long layoff without sports that gave me a chance to realize it doesn’t matter, maybe it’s because it’s summer, maybe because the world seems to have flipped a 180 since March. Whatever it is I’m not upset.

Nfl starts in two days and I don’t really care.

Sucks we lost but next season will be a joke with limited fans or no fans or whatever this crazy world we now live in decides.

We need a new team though. Very little talent on this team besides Giannis. This was not a 50 win team without him

Wes has been great all year, and I'd love to bring him back with a better player than him off the bench to take all of Korver's and Pat's minutes. We need guys who are smart AND physically capable. One or the other ain't enough.

Chris Paul obviously. Otto Porter's health going into this next season is interesting to me given how it probably drives his value down to a simple salary match. Jeff Teague becomes interesting with a portion of the MLE if Bud stays. Honestly, Snell on a super cheap vet deal is interesting in lieu of Pat. Forbes as a sparkplug.

unfortunately snell has a player option.....

OOF, I thought this was the last year of that deal. Jesus.

I don't know how much flexibility they will have but the Bucks need to hit a home run with their draft pick and go into the playoffs knowing who will play and not just wait to see who craps the bed and go to plan B.

This team needs more than just Chris Paul to get to the next level. And knowing our luck, Paul will completely fall off if he comes here.

And since the Bucks are now publicly desperate for Chris Paul, the price of acquiring him just doubled.

Well rooting for Herro to get a ring.


Obviously the Heat outplayed us, out hustled, massively out coached, and our complete lack of a half court offense kilt us. I also think the reffing as a whole has been even more off than usual in the bubble. Uneven reffing over the course of the game has always bothered me in the nba but I do think the bubble caused refs to forget which team is the home team etc, with really wild swings in the way the whistles have blown

I've got some Toronto Fans trolling me with And 1 posts from during the Orlando series. You better believe I'm going hard in the paint when they get eliminated tomorrow.

This offseason will say it all about Horst. This team has a lot of things to tweak roster wise and nothing is going to be easy or obvious.

Also, either Bud has to develop some actions offensively to use in the half court, or he has gotta go.

**** end to a fun season.

I agree on CP3. I understand the thinking but it's just a terrible idea to me. Too much injury risk and short-term thinking. Should be able to make a few lower-risk moves that fix the real issues. When you won 60 last year and could have won 70 this year if not for the pandemic and resting your best players so much, your problems are eminently fixable without doing anything too terribly drastic.

There is no price, they'd be happy to give away the contract. They're trying to tank.

Trim the roster of old guys and mental midgets.

I think we lose more than half the roster.

I know I keep harping on it, but honest to god, I am not letting the laissez-faire attitude to the bubble slide. We didn't take this **** seriously and it **** pisses me off.

A Kobe led team isn’t forfeiting a playoff game

An MJ led playoff team isn’t forfeiting a playoff game.

You can approve of the decision to walk off the court in game 5 against Orlando. But it tells you the organization wasn’t entirely focused on winning the title. This team was way too full of themselves and couldn’t deal with the distractions (or lack of them) in the bubble.

And feel it starts at the top (ownership). They have done great things with the arena and around it but the honeymoon is over for sure. Expectations are the Finals and that window is expiring fast. And I don't think they truly know how quickly the "fans" will bail if they start to slip. It is a crossroads right now. I honestly don't know if i can stick out another decline/rebuild. I really hope they can stay a title contender...

Actually the most disappointing after Giannis was Hill, he was great last year playoffs, this year he was scared and indifferent

Bud is to slow to make adjustments and understand what works and what not

This isn't meant just for you CHL but who cares about regular season win totals? It was cool last year and this year but now who cares? All that matters is your playoff results and the Bucks have been embarrassed two years in a row.

This feels exactly like when Green Bay lost to Seattle in the NFC title game a handful of years ago. How did this happen?

My packers and football fandom never recovered after that loss. I wonder if it’ll be the same for the Bucks.

[BenoUdrihFTL]

Observation from a Heat fan: you guys have an excellent roster around Giannis. I'm actually starting to believe that Giannis' teammates/coach/system actually elevate him rather than it being entirely the other way around. You guys are in a good position in that your team can very easily improve from within, i.e. Giannis evolving his offensive game, perhaps Bud being a bit more flexible with his system

And Middleton is a straight killer. The best player by far last two games. He would be the #1 on Miami and Bud should give consideration to making him a 1)b to Giannis' 1)a

it doesnt matter. if pauI wants to be here then thats that. pauI middIeton and giannis needs to be next years squad. doesnt matter who eIse even shows up or whether we win 50 in the reg season. pauI takes the baII out of giannis hands in the Piayoffs when it matters. giannis has NO BUSINESS trying to initiate haIf court offense in the pIayoffs ever
