PG Knicks - Bucks Cruise to Defeat

[Wonka]

If Doc had any self respect, he would bow out tonight

[MickeyDavis]

At least we're improving the Pelicans pick for them.

[Bucksmaniac]

Can we fall to the play in and get knocked out? That's probably the ideal situation at this point. Good thing we won the IST

Given our luck the last four years with injuries I have no qualms with counting the Cup Championship, we deserved a better shot at a 2nd championship than to have Dame, Giannis or Middleton injured every single year.

There's a part of me that almost wants Giannis to get traded. Just think it will give him a much better chance to build upon his legacy. I just don't see a way forward with this team right now. Of course, I want him to stay and help turn this around but it's going to take a lot of work and changes.

Maybe Horst will cook in the offseason but the coaching is terrible (Doc needs to re-retire ASAP), they have no picks, no young talent, ownership has meddled in a bad way since Haslem came on, the vibes are just awful.

[GoldenAntlers]

At least we're improving the Pelicans pick for them.

Hopefully they select someone good for when we trade Giannis for Zion.

[Bernman]

Massive rebounding issues again this game. It's a broken record.

That's got to be a little source of optimism, no? We cratered when we had only Brook & Giannis as the true bigs. Then Bobby returned, & we added Sims. Now they're both down. So that's an issue that can resolve.

Other than the additional personnel issues leading to problems on offense in part, ridding ourselves of Doc is realistically solvable. It's just that the owners likely don't have the balls, unlike Memphis. And winning takes balls. Save our Bucks, & fire Doc.

[Bobicous]

Checked the box in the 3rd and saw Kuz had more shots than G and closed the tab! Trade everyone, fire everyone, sell the team!

[blazza18]

The Bucks wont be a play-in team(?) but we're now closer to that than we are being a top 3 seed. Historically contenders come from the top 3 seeds. Jon Horst and Doc Rivers can't survive the offseason.

[ReasonablySober]

Honestly, who gives a **** about the playoffs, seeding, who we play, whatever. This team is DOA.

[trublu]

Looks like we're going to finish the last 10 games of the regular season the same way we started.

It is so frustrating to watch this team not try. Most of the Knicks O boards were simply them wanting the ball more than us, and a lot of the TOs were just the result of lazy play. And I don't want to hear the anyone talk about "we have to keep improving and work on our communication" lip service crap in the pressers. You've had 70 pharking games to sort your shite out.

Great to see Rollins continue to improve and GT continue to be reliable.
I'm happy I able to watch most of Kuzma's minutes without looking through my fingers as well.


With the playoffs being a different game insofar as the Bucks will actually have a care factor greater than 0, the optimist in me thinks that they can be a legit threat to any team in the East. My biggest concern in a series against the Knicks will be the officiating. Dame being out and Brunson returning is also a factor, but if they call the series the same as tonight, we're out in the first round again.

Knicks without Brunson are better than the Bucks without Dame.

And with Brunson are better than us with Dame.

Firing Doc isn't going to save this team, you could replace him with Spoelstra right now and they might lose 2-4 in the 1st rd instead of 0-4. He's just one of many different problems that I don't see getting fixed this off season. End of an era unfolding right now..

[randy84]

Is it worse to have Doc as the coach of young superstars or aging superstars?

[rilamann]

Some of you actually want the Knicks instead of the Pacers....

If we’re going to bow out in round one rather lose to the Knicks than the smirking Pacers.

You beat me to it.

I was about to say that at this point our playoff match-up is all about who it would be less annoying to lose to. The Bucks aren't beating the Pacers or the Knicks in a best of 7 series. But losing to the Knicks would be easier to swallow than losing to the Pacers for the 2nd straight season, this time with Giannis.

[GoldenAntlers]

Is the 7th seed possible? A play-in game could be fun.

Imagine the Bucks falling into the play-in and then getting knocked out by the surging Bulls in a 1 and done scenario.

If we had a better coach we wouldn’t be facing the Knicks without home court as a 6th seed to start with, so it matters a lot.

[Matches Malone]

I do feel kind of bummed for Horst for how it's ending here. He hasn't really put together a strong roster around Giannis post-championship, so I don't feel TOO bad, but having your geriatric owners go above you and hire grandpa Doc from the good ole boys club, just sucks major ass. And seeing Kenny succeed is just salt in the wound.

[Baddy Chuck]

If Giannis and Rollins are the only people in this franchise back next season I don't think I'd mind.

[theFireBlanket]

Let him throw Giannis under the bus first.
