At the very least, I bet Haliburtons dad called Giannis over rated to his face.

I don't know if never. If we win that game, we just need to win at home w/ a better rotation, then a 1 off at the end. Maybe 10% chance.

Perfect. Now you have every reason to blow it up. Doc shouldn’t have a job tomorrow. Shop everyone.

We had some glorious days. We had a championship. It’s OK.

Time to let it go.

Ahh, can't go that far. We win tonight and we still likely lose the series. At the very least we get smoked round 2. Had Packers won they go to the SB with a great shot at winning it.

If this seals giannis asking out, it’s worse.

Ok, I just watched it.

WTF.

This game just reinforces my opinion that the only way you trade Giannis is if he asks out. Blow up what you can around him, keep the few young players you have and sell him on a soft reset. A lineup of Giannis/KPJ/GTJ/Green/Bobby had us in position to win a playoff game on the road. I think it will be far harder to build a playoff caliber roster by moving Giannis than it will otherwise.

This loss is not exactly on Doc but the series is on him glfor not going to the most productive line up. Gary Trent Jr exhaustion got the best of him and it cost the Bucks the game. I would've like to have him sub in Sims for Bobby late or even Giannis and go defense offense to get Giannis some rest. It really doesn't matter though.

Sad ending to a sad season.

Giannis deserved better.

The hugest of props to GTJ. A fumbled pass did not lose us the game. GTJ hard carried us to end the 4th and in OT, after doing so earlier in the series also.

once the broadcast said gianins had 30/20/10 I knew we'd find a way to lose

Franchise needs a complete reset. This offseason is the perfect time for it.

Absolutely

I also don't think Giannis and Hali's dad were mixing it up. Giannis gave him a thumbs up. Seems like they have some sort of understanding.

Yeah, I mentioned it in the game 4 thread but game 2 was there for the taking if we weren't still trying the lineup that hadn't worked for months.

Doc seemed to squeeze what little juice was left tonight. Not sure we would’ve won both 6 and 7. But still hurts. Would’ve been nice little moral victory for the actual best team in this squad.

Doc needed to do something to shut down that wide open lane.

Hali's mom goes to smack Giannis arm :lol:

I mean a fumbled pass and throwing the ball to other team are probably the main reasons we lost the game.

Seriously. How many huge crunch time shots did the Bucks make that were immediately followed by Indy running to the rim in less than 10 seconds.

Love Giannis but he has some under rated vanity to his game.

His preferred game winning shot is a baseline Kobe fade away which he's missed multiple times in game winning situations.

Then with a minute left in must foul situation he doesn't take one for the team and bench himself. Basically making the inbounds impossible bc the Pacers are daring the Bucks to throw him the ball.

jakecronus8 · Post #139 » by **jakecronus8** » Wed Apr 30, 2025 1:14 am

I see now after I turned it off before seeing the ball go in that the Bucks made the rock bottom situation worse with post game antics. Fun.

Kind of a fitting way to return to the pre-title team era.
