You just can piss away 2 points. Unreal stupidity

This game has been so weird. It hasn’t felt like Giannis or Dame have had their fingerprints on it at all.

Instead, a number of role players have stood out negatively, and that feels like the story here. Not just role players missing shots, but doing some wild ass ****.

Doc sucks, but this team sucks. Pacers are a better team than we are. We have Giannis but the next 3 best players are pacers. Only one on our team I’d miss would be Giannis. No one else is a winning player

KPJ may come in under the max this offseason

The tax payer’s MLE sounds about right for KPJ.

Our role players really just die in the playoffs man.

Imagine thinking KPJ is mentally tough enough to handle playoff physicality.

Should have hired Atkinson. Horst gotta go.

You think Doc hasn't told Giannis this is the playoffs? I'm just underwhelmed by everything atm.

Giannis has a title more recently than Doc. Maybe Giannis needs to remind Doc that it's the playoffs? I dunno.

Seems like they all know and this is the inevitable result. Totally in character for the Bucks prior to adding Prince, Kuz or Doc.

Pack this one up, take the L and head back to Milwaukee to win game 3 and get some momentum.

And usually I’m against firing a coach near or in the playoffs, but I say go for it. Doc is worthless.

who cares. Doc is actively making this team worse. It's not a question of if the pacers are better or not.

This team, as has been the case for the last few years, is just not good. You can waste your breath blaming Doc, Dame, whoever. End of the day it’s just a very average roster.

Pacers been hitting all their bull so far this series too. Myles Turner has hit multiple step back contested jumpers.

This isn’t just Doc vs Carlisle. We refuse to admit that their roster is much better than ours from top to bottom. Siakam hasn’t been too far off Gianni’s’ production and then everyone else is just much better on their team. Could see this coming from a long way off.

midranger · Post #853 » by **midranger** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 1:14 am

Turner, cross over, step back, heavily contested 22 footer. Swish.

Smdh.

PG Graveyard · Post #854 » by **PG Graveyard** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 1:14 am

At the very least KPJ will be cheap still this offseason. He may opt in.

BroncoBuck · Post #855 » by **BroncoBuck** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 1:15 am

Turner might play himself into being one of the worst contracts in the NBA with this playoff performance.

Role players tend to struggle on the road in the playoffs. Id imagine ours will look better Friday and guys like Turner wont be hitting fall away deep jumpers.

Haliburton takes so many bad shots. It's pathetic we can't beat this team.

We were 32-14 before him last yr, 15-17 afterward. That's quite the disparity.

There's plenty of evidence to show this team just isn't good enough. Hasn't been for a while.

Yet I presented mine. You didn't present yours. Hitchens' Razor: what's claimed w/out evidence can be dismissed w/out it.

I don't understand.. so Adrian Griffin is a good coach?

No one believes the Bucks have a roster good enough to anything of note outside of this board.

Just pure torture watching Giannis take ages to shoot FTs in the playoffs. If it wasn’t for 2021 we may be the most tortured fan base. Thank god for 2021.
