PG Pacers - Bucks Down 2-0

[MissKhriddleton]

We suck but absurd shotmaking from the Pacers.

[MickeyDavis]

D sucks

Greg Buckner brought in specifically as a defensive "specialist".

Doc and Ham set the rotations.

Clean house.

[Chad34]

An unserious team led but an unserious coach and star player. Hopefully we can be respectable back at fiserv but this team isn't up to playing the standard of basketball it takes to win playoff games.

I hope that star player isn’t Giannis

[ABucksFan]

Legit hate the pacers fn bums. Add nembhard to list of randos who go off against us playoffs

[dedned]

Don't even give a **** about a championship. Just beat the pacers. They **** annoy me to no end.

[BUCKnation]

That starting lineup should be never see the light of day in this series. Once again most of the bench either position or basically even, even kpj who was a disaster.

TP should be out of the rotation. Brook can play occasional spot minutes. At least Kuzma, flaws and all showed something.

12 min for AJ is pretty poor too.

[ReasonablySober]

Sh*tty team.

[CJTURT]

Defense is pourus. Is that the scheme ? Sag down to the paint and chase shooters late? Let them drive to the rim while we stand around with zero resistance?? I thought dic rivers had the scheme …

[ANTETOKOUNBROS]

I wanted Filipowski in the 2nd round.

[rilamann]

Our D does not represent the intensity required of a playoff team. Nowhere near it.

Buck's defensive intensity in these playoffs is the level of what you would expect in a random Tuesday night game in November.

[ShootingtheJ]

Kuzma wasn’t the problem at all tonight.

His +/- is bad because he shared the floor with TP and Brook. He was perfectly fine tonight.

Hopefully Doc is done with these TP on the wing lineups. Get AJ Green more minutes.

Kuzma sucked again tonight. Totally lost in defense. Constantly misses rotations. Braindead in team defense concepts.

[yannisk]

Kuzma was not bad, but why have him in the game when you need 3s

[fansinceforever]

Poor coaching, lack of will, lack of ability. Nothing new.

[StickeeFingaz]

Bucks in 6.

[CharityStripe34]

Would not be shocked if they're swept. Can't keep giving up 15-20 point leads and having to claw your way back

I got some tickets for game three. Expectations on the floor but the Pacers remain extremely beatable if their role players leave their games in Indy. Fully expect to see the exact same starting lineup again.

[jschligs]

I'd trade Kyle Kuzma for a sack of ****ing burgers at this point. Him not playing is worth little to no return. Add Prince into that too. We set ourselves up to get punked trotting those two out there.

I will say, down 2-0 to start doesn't mean its over. They should return to normal shooting when they come to MKE. We managed to get it to 2 points with 2 min left before giving up 2 wide open looks from deep.

[Bernman]

Great comeback. Teased us. Getting down big early bit us again. Go figure.

Thanks for showing up Bobby and Giannis. Thanks for nothing Prince, Trent, KPJ, Lopez, Green. Kuzma was better than them but that's not saying much.

Appreciate Dame going 35+ after being out a month but we need more production.

I actually think we win the next 2.

Green was 2nd on the team w/ a +3. Sims was 1st at a +5. That's not a coincidence, cuz w/out them we couldn't stay in front, close on shooters, & body up. They didn't need to score, as low usage guys. And Doc could complement Green w/ a guy who can create. That's mostly on Mr. Rivers.

We won't win the next 2 if Mr. Rivers doesn't finally put out a new starting lineup, re-incorporate Rollins for POA d, & put players on the floor who complement each other + match-up w/ the opponent.

[Wooderson]

Game was over as soon as the starting lineup came out. Just spotting them 10 points right off the bat. Even with their insane shooting and our terrible TOs it would have been a tight game without the starting 5 out there.

Yup. It took 42 minutes of atrocity for them to look like they cared.
