PG Indy: Bucks on the brink

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

No one can ever take the cup away from us

[bucksfansince88]

In all seriousness, they should fire Doc tonight and let Prunty or Joeger coach game 5

[Brewhoopfan]

I'd take Middleton in a coma over Kuz.

[RiotPunch]

Thank you, Giannis. It has been a fun **** ride. Feels like we've reached the end.

Dame out indefinitely while hampered by his max salary slot, no meaningful cap flexibility, albeit potentially some. Lame duck head coach that will maybe be brought back, lame duck general manager who was extended after falling behind in a playoff series.

It's either treadmill with Giannis as he ages or cash in while he's still got Top-3 player in the world value. It's heartbreaking, but we're here now.

[MoreTrife]

No draft picks, no cap space, no assets aside from Giannis... Reality has arrived.

[Plossum]

Bit depressing we could only take 1 game from this Indy team because GTJ went off from three.

At least Liverpool won the EPL today. There’s a team you can reliably cheer for this year

[BroncoBuck]

This team was probably cooked as soon as it committed to Brook. Love the guy for what he did but turning to useless come playoffs is a death punch at that position.

The Rockets threw us a bone and we kicked it off a cliff

[midranger]

Khris Middleton averaged 25/9/5 on 48/35/90 against this same team 12 months ago.

We traded him and our 1st round pick for Kyle Kuzma.

Then, we extended the GM who made that trade.

And we can’t even get better in the draft by tanking

[KidA24]

I expected today to have the team come out with rage and passion.

They played with the chaotic energy of a 5 year old hopped up on swedish fish.

No discipline, no communication, simply playing as individuals and not a team

Yeah, I actually kind of think so. It's brutal, unreal, and I don't think it's going to happen, but it does actully come into play now. Especially if Dame's injury is legit.

[Wonka]

Doc's, like, 4th on the list of issues this team has.

I mean, AG had this group at 30-13, and Doc took over, finished 17-19. Lost in the first round. Led us to this disgusting excuse for a season, and is about to lose in the first round again. He's at least 2nd to personnel in terms of issues.

[BroncoBuck]

Khris Middleton averaged 25/9/5 on 48/35/90 against this same team 12 months ago.

Khris Middleton played 800 minutes this season

[midranger]

I went to Bud’s last game and knew it over as I was walking out that night.

Tonight does feel similar for Giannis.

[Iheartfootball]

Brewers played well today.

[Unique]

With a proper young big under the basket and Mike Malone on the bench, this team can hit the finals.

I would’ve taken 0 over Kuzma’s however many

If it's truly a torn achilles, we'd be fools to move forward with Giannis. He could definitely still carry us to a middling seed, but it's not fair to him or the franchise's future to go that route. It is **** devastating that it's come to this.

[drew881]

I went from hating the Pacers to feeling indifferent.

Which stage is acceptance?

The space between realizing that getting out of the first round wouldn’t matter and realizing that most of the year we knew there was no chance in hell of this team was getting out of the first round.

[Coach Carter]

Circle of life I guess, Mufasa explains it in the lion king.
