How are the Heat 1 point favorites. Herro and Wiggins out. We've handled then all 3 games

Now just a matter if the Bucks want the #5 seed or #6 seed. I am assuming they want #5 since Giannis is playing.

#5 is in our own hands with 2 games against the Pistons, Giannis played 39 mins last game. Doc is just a straight up idiot when it comes to minutes management. The most Doc/Bucks thing ever would be to play Giannis every game rest of the season and then he gets injured in the 1st round.

What makes playing Giannis down the stretch even worse is the fact these are teams the Bucks should beat without Giannis. And even if we lost a couple of these games it wouldn't really matter because we play the Pistons twice to end the season. If you are that hell bent on the #5 seed, just play Giannis those final 2 vs the Pistons.

Playing Giannis at all let alone 39 minutes at this point of the season is idiotic on so many levels.

I'm enjoying Giannis having all this usage back. Let him score or play make and get out of his way.

Holy crap, my feed is looking like crap!
What is this 2001?

Does anyone else have an issue or is it just my provider?

Brook was furious there. Our transition defence as lazy as ever.

This is about to be hyperbolic AF, but Rollins has some DWade in him. I don't care. Boo me.

Getting zero calls

Bam missed his own shot and we had three guys just stand there as he got the ball back and made a layup. No one bothered to rebound or contest him at the rim.

Bam 3/4 from 3 in the first. Nice.

Box score watching, that made me do a double take.

The Bucks having been doing this all season.

I have been saying since November that this team's #1 problem is that they simply just don't play with a high level of effort. They don't care.

The debate is how much of this is on Doc and how much of it is on the players. But the Bucks have looked like a team going through the motions and wanting to just get the season done and over with since about the 4th game of the season.

This lineup... Yikes.

Maybe it'll look better with Bobby instead of Dre.

Some calls when they foul would be great, thanks.

Opposition teams just get offensive boards and 2nd chance points at will against us right now.

SupremeHustle · Post #38 » by **SupremeHustle** » Sun Apr 6, 2025 12:41 am

I haven't paid attention much lately. Are the Bucks running that old Stan Van Gundy offense?

Heat announcers talking about MVP voter fatigue for Jokic vs SGA while Giannis is at the line...

Some of us here are old enough to remember the Herb Kohl era Bucks.

Back in those days we didn't need a top #3 MVP candidate to get the #6 seed.
