PG Warriors - Bucks Run out of Gas

[Baddy Chuck]

The bad had we acquired Jimmy: Our games might have taken 4 hours with Giannis & Jimmy shooting so many free throws.

Jimmy in a Bucks uniform doesn't get the same calls as Jimmy in a Golden State uniform.

Jimmy got these calls in every uniform he's worn. He woulda been fine here.

I mean for the 2nd of a B2B without Giannis it's whatever. But we have 1 reliable perimeter creator on the roster and 2 centers who are going to get fried by the elite contenders in the playoffs, and Horst’s response at the deadline was KPJ and Jericho Sims lol.

[Ron Swanson]

Feels like this could have been the perfect game to bust out Jericho Sims, but instead we got those lineup killing Bobby and Pat minutes. At least we played Kevin Porter Jr. I mean, he sucks......but at least we played him.

It is what it is. Our only hope of a deep run is Dame and other shooters getting hot at the right time so we simply outscore teams. This isn’t a squad that’s going to get it done with defence.

In reality we’ll be out rounds 1 or 2 short of said hot streak happening.

[ShootingtheJ]

Don't know how a GM couldn't identify that Quentin Post was the perfect Brook protege.

[Packbuckman]

Doc feel for the game with his lineups is terrible we just took the lead with Ajax playing great D he subs him out to never return. Instead breaks out pat for some ungodly reason and all momentum and lead are gone. Both AJ and Trent had rough nights was a good time to not play Ajax only 13 minutes.

BBIQ on the court tonight: Would there be a Buck in the top 5?

Hmmm...another team pressuring Dame.

Bobby and Brook had no chance of playing with their pace.

Butler is smart and fits well. Wouldn't be surprised if GS is dangerous at the end of the year.

Even if this team got on some sort of fluke hot streak in the playoffs, there's still a good chance they wouldn't make it out of the first round.

The Bucks will likley play one of the Cavs/Celtics/Knicks in the 1st round. Assuming that the Bucks even make the playoffs.

Even with a healthy Giannis and the Bucks playing at the height of their collective ceiling. They still would have no shot at beating one of those teams in a best of 7 series. And the Bucks likley wouldn't beat the Pacers in a 7 game series.

The Buck's only real hope of possibly getting out of the first round would be if they locked down the #4 seed and a team like a Detroit or Orlando got the #5 seed. With a healthy Giannis the Bucks could probably beat one of those teams in a 7 game series. But that's it. And it's unlikely that the Bucks get the #4 seed and even if they do, it's unlikely they would play Detroit or Orlando.

The good had we acquired Jimmy: A Giannis + Jimmy Butler combo would have clowned the east in the playoffs.

Guessing 60 mil per year stopped us from making it happen

[fan230]

I really detest Doc’s overplaying Giannis last year and this year leading to the calf injuries. And now overplaying Dame in 2 games in a row!

Doc needs to be fired very soon. He will damage our 2 stars.

Kuzma is just ok. A younger player taking less money than Khris does not make even comparable to the skillset of Khris.

The Bucks could have got under the 2nd apron by trading Pat C who “miraculously” seems to avoid getting moved from the city of Milwaukee; I really wonder about the reason.

Also we are a worse team than we were with Khris.

Green seems to have regressed on offense. On defense i saw him getting beaten by the Warriors quicker players. Oh, when if ever our poa defense will improve??

[paulpressey25]

Usually don’t complain much about coaching moves game to game. Personnel is more important.

But tonight I think Doc broke me. Those lineups were infuriating.

And GSW understands we have severe problems getting the ball up the court. So selective trapping was killing us. And if you know they’re doing that, don’t have Kuz, Pat, Trent bring the ball up. Then later Dame just gave up. Why haven’t we figured out an answer on that yet?

Eh, I thought they were kind of unimpressive, but got bailed out by back to back shooting and no Brook.

Pat minutes eww

Would have been very interesting to see.

A Giannis and Jimmy combo is something that the Cavs, Celtics and Knicks wouldn't have wanted to see.

Imagine you're the Celtics and you have no answer for MVP level Giannis, but it's ok because MVP level Giannis has no help and the Bucks are coached by Doc Rivers.

Now imagine you're the Celtics and you have no answer for Giannis, but now all of sudden Giannis' sidekick is a guy who makes a habit out of owning you in the playoffs in Jimmy Butler. Boston would be **** themselves right now. Boston's only hope would be that the Bucks are still coached by Doc Rivers.

[Dick Tate]

Sad birthday for Bobby.

[James1980]

Can Sims get some mins?

[BucksFanSD]

I think and hope Pat played only because it was a B2B. Moving forward Doc should go with whoever is having the best game between AJ, Jackson, Trent, and Porter. Ride the hot hand/or and defense. The bench failed today however but I'm optimistic.

[bucksfansince88]

Doc is Bad, really bad! Rip the bad aid off and let Joeger or Prunty figure things out

[Plossum]

Bleh meme fail.

They also understood that we have terrible transition defense, so moved the ball quickly down the court almost every possession and caught us out far too many times to count.
