All posters who got excited over the Bucks recent wins forgot to take into account who they were playing.

The Kuzma experiment was never going to work.It was purely a cost cutting move.Not one to make the team better.

I enjoyed the game, but am ready for the next chapter. I would trade anyone on the team for Cooper Flagg.

The Bucks aren't quick enough to face guard NBA guards and you expect them to each cover a 10 sq ft area?

Lame time. Giannis with the stupid foul—why even be close to fouling a three point shooter? Doc with the stupid timeout challenge. If you have more than one timeout sure, challenge. But with just one left, is the tiny possibility of an overturn really worth losing the ability to advance the ball??

Our defensive setup on the Flying V was hilarious too. Like just guard the three point line about a foot out. Why did we fan out to half way?

I mean did you want him to not contest at all?


On that prayer of shot? No, not really. Giannis is a 6'11 pterodactyl. Put your arms up and if he makes it he makes it. Clear as day foul.


exactly. imagine if hed airballed it. **** was still most likely going overtime on that overzealousness

That was such a dumb lucky shot by Haliburton that I'm almost not even mad. Dead sprint shooting it against the way his natural momentum is taking him. Just an insanely lucky shot.

We got super lucky with open misses that we can be mad that we then made a risky play that put us in position to lose it.

"Landing space" is a bit convoluted when the shooter is rising up at full speed going east to west. It was too aggressive on Giannis' part, but that's a dog **** call with the game on the line, IMO. Would Dame have gotten that call?

Kinda impressive how he was able to twist his upper body with his feet going the other way and make it. If you gave him 99 more goes at making that he might not make another.

That too. In Orlando we had multiple guys inside the 3-pt line when they needed 3 pts w/ .4 secs left & they got a wide open shot (they just released a little late).

Doc is not a detail-oriented coach. We'd be better w/out him. I don't know how much, but it's also all we can do passed the trade deadline. And this excuse about paying 3 coaches is hullaballoo. They're already paying Prunty & Joerger.

I’d be furious at our stars if I was Prince or Brook who played outside their comfort zones at this point and this is what our superstars gave them.

This team is 5th best in the east at best. We're going nowhere. It's another 1st round exit. It's so depressing.

I’m ok with Doc challenging. It was a bs call and plausible his heel was on the out of bounds line. You’ve got to challenge that one.

The bigger issue was not being prepared for Indy’s kickoff formation play. We got caught flat footed on that.

I thought the foul on Prince the play before the Hali one was more BS.
