Have you watched Doc the last year plus?

Giannis found composure throughout the game, and you could feel him starting to get it going in the 4th, but then his brain just short circuited that last 1.5 minutes. I’ve never actually seen that from him.

His entire life he’d be the guy hustling his ass at the end of games defensively, especially ones that matter, and he just coasted.

What did I just watch?

He missed the finger roll and then he jogged back down the court without identifying who he needed to pick up, then later he had no clock awareness and doesn’t close all the way out to nembhard who had to get that shot off.

It’s the playoffs, man.

How much are billboard ads? I got this.


Can we get one up before Thursday? Doc must be stopped, what are the odds that he Trots out the same starting group in game 3?

I legit stopped caring the moment I saw the starting lineup graphic. We have an absolute cancer coaching the team and the only cure is losing this series so we can clean house.

It’s at the point where if we don’t fire Doc in the offseason all of us should just boycott the team, he’s that obviously awful.

I can take the losing, it’s how we’re making awful moves to get here that hurts.

Imagine in September you were told we are down 0-1 to the Pacers, Dame/Giannis are healthy. To start the 4th quarter you are down 10ish and neither Dame or Giannis are on the floor. 3 of the players that are on the floor KPJ, Kuzma and Sims.

We'd be laughing at that idea, yet here we are.

I'm sick of the Bucks talking. Shut your mouths until you can back it up. Dame tells Hali to wait for it, then goes 4-13 while defending no one. All Bucks, shut up and play.

The one move Doc will make is play Rollins ahead of KPJ. That’s the only change we are getting and it’s not going to work.

Outside of rolling with the same starting lineup putting us in a hole for months, the complete lack of urgency is definitely the next most alarming thing. Compared to literally any other team in the postseason it continue to look like they don't give a ****.

Other than that, I though Giannis had a pretty nice offensive game, but we need him to be more assertive earlier.

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





Per usual dude picks out the guy the poster b4 him said was ok.Yep dude 5 guys played tonight 3 of them sucked but in your typical fashion concentrate on 1 guy

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

Doc and Ham set the rotations.

Clean house.
So frustrating to watch them do the samething over and over. It's not rocket science. Fun watching dumb people making a lots of money. LOL

That kinda sounds like a team that doesn’t believe in what they are doing. I wonder if there’s in-fighting. I’m sure Doc will tell us after the season.

Something we can all agree on? Prince is the worst rotation player in the playoffs by a large margin!
