PG Warriors: Bucks Choke

Jrue almost single handedly won us that game. He’s great. If only the other guys could catch a pass, grab a rebound, make a free throw, not throw the ball away in the fourth, etc. This was the kind of game that Tucker should have been playing in down the stretch.

I think you can only challenge once a game.
The game comes down to giving up 39 points in the fourth quarter. Yes, that's on Bud.
Jrue shot the ball well, but gave up 8 turnovers. That's a lot of potential points to throw away. I see a tight first round matchup for the Bucks and possible loss. If not, then a second round loss.

The last 5 minutes of that one was a full team disaster. Bud needed to go small, Lopez wasn't working against Draymond at center, Middleton and Jrue were both messes on offense, and multiple defensive breakdowns due to overhelping on Steph.

Maybe Khris will be able to perform a simple pass at the end of a game eventually.

How many close games do we need to stop playing drop coverage with Lopez against elite shooters like Curry?
It's been 3 years doing this.

Hopefully coach Bud, Lopez and Middleton are gone next season.

It was also like old times because the replay sound effects on Bally Sports sound like My24 games from years ago.

David Dunn is right

I don’t give a crap about Middleton’s empty stats...he’s a choker! Terrible passer and chucks terrible shots when it matters most.

If it makes you feel better, Wiggins has legitimately been one of the best wing defenders in the league this year. He's shut down a few premier wings this year so I wouldn't pin Middleton's performance on him having a pube game.

Feels like the 3rd or 4th game we've lose this season literally because of Middleton's turnovers down the stretch.

Wiggins tried to hand us that game with the bricked three at the end. Couldn’t grab a rebound with four guys standing around the rim.

It’s games like this that really matter at the end of the year when you end up playing the Heat in round 1 and Philly/Brooklyn in Round 2.

Marc Davis was bad. Ball handling and passing by Khris was not good.

We cannot expect to win by one point again.

Without Giannis, we just lose the offensive gravity that he has by drawing so much defensive focus on him ------ that frees up the others considerably.

Coaching malpractice to not challenge that curry non contact kick out three. Not sure what else you’d ever challenge if not that. Oh well, it would have won us the game. No big deal. Glad bud didn’t need to be bothered to do something

More Teague, less Donte please

That Middleton 4th quarter was atrocious.

The more he has had to play make has shown him to be a god awful passer. Why is he so confident in his passing ability?

If Giannis is out against Dallas it will be ugly on Thursday.

Last play was a good giggle.

We really miss a guy you can just give the ball to and have them make a solid iso play in the clutch. I swear we’re the worst of the contending teams at making buckets when we need to.

Why is Middleton so nervous all the damn time? Veteran player, 2x all star....throw him in any type of pressure situation and he melts...

Despite his shooting and ft abilities, Khris is tending to hurt us more than before by his poor ball handling. He just loses control of the ball way too often nowadays.

Only if we are at full strength and healthy, do we have a chance of doing well in the playoffs.
