You've been saying this all season and everyone assumed Bud would increase minutes for the playoffs. And yet here we are.

Talk about washing out the bad taste in our mouth from losing to the Raptors after being up 2-0. That would be epic.
Maybe they will win 4 in a row without him.
Not sure if serious/squinty eyes.

As skones pointed out in the Game #3 thread I'd love to see Giannis get the ball at the high post more. This is a very difficult position to guard him, can drive, pass or shoot. Also, it takes him away from the 3 point line. Not only does he give Miami's defense a break by shooting from there, he's also been especially bad from 3 while injured. He was 0-7 in Game 3 as well as 0-7 on Xmas day when his back was hurting.

If Giannis plays and his first shot is a pull up 3, trade him immediately. That's a sign.

I don’t see Bud getting fired regardless frustrating as he is, I really don’t know what I want to see from this team today. I think the writing is on the wall as far as this core is concerned and there needing to be a major roster adjustment, we have Giannis and a we have Bud so how do we make that work? I’m really not attached to anybody on the roster after Giannis and I’m ready to sell out whatever is needed to get a proper running mate. Middleton, Lopez, and Bledsoe need to play like their roster spot depends on it.

Spoiler:
...
The Bucks went 1-3 following the Miami game before the Corona Virus shutdown on March 11th. Since the victory in Charlotte the Bucks have won just 8 of their last 21 games.

How many of you would trade Giannis straight up for Jimmy Butler?

This post is just f***king cruel. I can't handle the truth.
In fairness to the March record, it is pretty normal for a team to hit cruise control when they've all but locked up the #1 overall seed in spring. They rested a number of guys on that West Coast trip and didn't have much to play. for It's fine to take your foot off the gas at that stage of the season. I think there's a big issue with not playing harder after such a long layoff though. They needed to work harder to get their rhythm back. It's also possible that some people not playing hard undermined trust in each other and killed the synergy they had.
I would add that Hill was hurt in that Miami game. That's always a big loss for the Bucks. He's often the glue that holds the team together. It's not like he's some star or anything, but he's the only truly intelligent player in the top-8 of the rotation so he has outsize importance to the fabric of the team just by virtue of how starved they are for basketball brains. When he's been injured or disinterested, the team has not been nearly as good and the correlation is absolutely uncanny. This has been true for the last two years, including the pretty dramatic change in their performance when they first acquired him after slumping badly in fall 2018.
Wut we've got here is... faaailure... to communakate.

Eh, I'm as pissed at him as anyone but I still consider this kind of selfishness a bump in the road (hopefully). There's no way I would do this trade. Much better off hoping they get their chemistry and mojo back and Giannis realizes what he's doing wrong - or a new coach explains it to him.

I think Hill had 2 possessions in a row in the 4th of Game 3 where he was like, **** it, I'll do it myself and got to the hoop twice for a layup. Made me think he hasn't completely checked out and that something else is the main culprit to the way they're playing.

He definitely woke up in the second half of game 2 and has been his ECF self ever since but his previous distractedness was a factor in failing to be prepared and in rhythm. A couple mistakes but nothing like the way the rest of the team is collapsing. DDV waking up a little too. Those two were honestly the biggest advantage the Bucks had besides Giannis in the regular season, as few teams can bring a backcourt like that off the bench.
