PG Pacers - Bucks Drop Game 1

Friendly reminder to talk you off the ledge, last year we handily won game 1 at home. And lost the series in 6. That said:

You don't need a 10 player rotation in the playoffs. Especially with 2 off days between games. WAKE THE **** UP DOC.

The minutes for the starters and bench guys sans Giannis before late in 3Q should be completely inverted. Kuz/Prince are spot rotational backups. Brook should mostly be out there only when Haliburton is on the bench. 


It's crazy how wrong Doc has it.

I predicted he will when the Bucks go down 2-1 (not including if Dame comes back).

Yep. Told my friends this. He historically doesn’t make changes until it’s a bit too late.

Our media deserves a lot of blame for not holding Doc's feet to the fire. They're all yes men desperate for access. As if it's even that muckraking to ask Doc why he keeps starting Prince at the 2, or Kuzma period thru struggles. Point out you can't dig yourselves out of 20+ holes every game.

Now, watch them ask zero questions about it (unless maybe national media, who's ignorant, & have an axe to grind against us, gets involved), and then Doc's only adjustment will be to throw Lillard next to Prince, which has performed even worse cuz then TP guards Hali.

I wonder what happened to the posters that told me adamantly that Kuzma was good? The NBAs worst regular season player is now the worst postseason player. Stay hot Horst

Hope the beat writers and journalist have the balls to ask Doc the obvious **** questions and grill him about his stupid **** line ups he refuses to change up

A lot of concerning signs tonight, Doc’s stupid starting lineup notwithstanding. Not enough playmakers or shot creation. The three point shooting was bad and part of that is due to variance, but part is also because we couldn’t generate good looks in the first half.

We only have 6-7 guys who are viable against Indy. They’re a tough matchup for us. We can win this series, but the rotation will need to tighten up and we need Dame back for game 2. We desperately need more shot creation and playmaking.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
