GT: Nets @ Bucks Game 6 - 6/17/21 8:30 pm EST

[3pt_chucker]

I don't think KAI is gonna play. No way he does. It's only been a week. We are f**** unless Harden makes a miracle recovery and Nash gets a new brain.

Can't expect KD to have another historical game.

[Shark]

:banghead:

it is not pinning the blame on nash.

it is an indisputable fact that the loss is on nash, as was game 3. He coached us to losses. He was absolutely pathetic in our wins as well. you cant win a long series with the worst coach in the history of sports.

i wouldnt be surprised if he had some kind of gambling issue and was doing this stuff on purpose. its that bad.

Yep. I don't know who could watch both game 5 and game 6 back to back and think that coaching isn't what did us in tonight. We went away from everything that won us game 5 and the coaches made no effort to get us back to what helped us succeed in the second half of game 5.

What helped us in game 5 ? KD legendary performance, clearly wasn’t coaching or Nash ,he sucked the same as today

You mean you don't think that the screens that we set for KD in Game 5 and were absent in Game 6 had nothing to do with his success? Or how whenever we brought the ball up faster we got better looks? Or how whenever we ran slip screens with Blake we were able to find him for high percentage looks? All things that we didn't do tonight that the coaching staff could have reminded the guys to do if it was actually part of their game plan.

But nope. Its just all stuff that they accidentally stumbled upon and just as quickly forgot about. Not saying that Nash and co were basketball savants in Game 5, but they made clear adjustments in the second half of that game and completely forgot about them in Game 6.

Outside of KD, our entire roster is overmatched and shook. I hoped they would bounce back after a big win on Tuesday but Milwaukee is just better 2-10. We're banking on KD to carry us and Milwaukee to choke. Blame coaching if that makes you feel better but our guys just don't have it. Not without a 2nd star at full strength.

Do you guys mind if I start the thread for Game 7?

I'll bring home a winner for us .. I can feel it!!

This series is over. We have 0 chance to win game 7 even if god created the thread.

Weird, I’m a Bucks fan and I feel exactly the same way, but in reverse. Good to see our respective fan bases tend to expect the worst. I was sure the series was over just as soon as we blew Game 5. Think you guys pull it out in G7 by about 8.

its 100% coaching and it isnt even remotely debatable.

A birkcing joe harris who was obviously going to be terrible on the road, then proved in the first half, should not be on the floor when you have several bench options.

Playing jeff green at center for half the game, is not going to work

Their role guys stunk it up at home... that kind of let us off the hook. Harden gave us some scoring. this game was right there for us to win. coaches didnt give us a chance

They are only better because Kai is down and Harden is playing on one leg.

They would be swept if we are healhty.

United in eternal pessimism

[Sharcm1]

I don’t see this team winning a championship with the lack of heart they showed tonight. Started horribly. Again. And got out hustled for boards all night. Pathetic effort. And I’m sorry how many times does Shamet have to do nothing and give up easy shots for Nash to play someone else.

I pass the torch. Iam bummed cause we could have won if our shots would fall and we had Harden holding back which is understandable. This wasn’t the win or go home game. Without his drives he can’t create an offensive flow. I saw at the end though he started opening up more and he didn’t seem hurt from it. I think he’s going to risk it next game and empty the gun. If he doesn’t go out with a full blown injury then we will win game 7. Please god I pray he doesn’t get injured. If we can get to the third round we get Kyrie back as well. And that will put us on top.

I think Kai might be a go.

This team played with a ton of heart. harden is playing on one leg. Griffin is diving on the floor all game. Green is taking shots to the chest. KD is giving it his all. Harris may be bricking it up but he is playing hard. Shamet always plays hard.

issue was health and coaching. not effort.

[NyCeEvO]

Steve Nash... GTFO with that post game...

"we just didnt have our best stuff"

I hate that he constantly throws his players under the bus.

He has no clue. MDA has no clue. None of them know what to do.

[Whiskey Slick]

Joe Harris:

36:27 minutes and 9 Points, one for four from 3.

Unless he hits about ten 3's in Game 7, I hope we put him on the trading block in the off-season.

With all of our injuries to key players, we desperately needed him to come up BIG.

Instead, but for one game he's been a CHOKING DOG.

If our coaching matched our effort, this would’ve been a sweep.

[Pablo Escobar]

Kd shouldn't be bringing up the ball and chucking 3s constantly. Or just isolating while 4 guys watch him play. His turnovers have been terrible and his handles are a bit off at times. Last game you ran high screens or screens on Lopez, tonight you get "give it to kd".. I know Nash was hired because he's Kds guy and it allowed him and Kyrie to do whatever they wanted but dude is a trash coach LOL. Hey let's get down 16 and then call a timeout! how about you call it in the middle of the run you dumbass?

The offense is give to the stars and let them figure it out. I understand player empowerment and ego, but I’m beyond pissed that:

1) Marks allowed his friend to skip the coaching line because he thought Nash’s EQ was more valuable than other coach’s IQ for this team

2) MDA fooled us into believing that he actually gave a damn. I’ve never seen him more relaxed than on our sideline. Granted he is an assistant coach, but he was named the coach of the offense. He has done jack ****.

It’s inexcusable how inefficient we are on offense. Superstar ISOs are supposed to be a ancillary bonus to the offense, not the whole offense itself.

Like I said earlier, when Nash praised the team for getting back into the game (when in reality it was only due to a short spurt of Harden’s individual brilliance) and then said “if you don’t have the shot, just swing the ball or the weak side” it confirmed all of my suspicions. We don’t really run stuff. We just read and react out of ISOs. We got through the regular season solely due to the ungodly concentration of offensive talent that comes when we have just two stars playing, let alone 3.

We cannot win a championship with this level of ineptitude on offense. Our defensive schemes aren’t great either but at least that can be partly blamed on the fact that we don’t have the personnel to be an elite defensive team.

I want MDA gone and an offensive assistant who actually reads the defense and adjust to be hired.

I can’t imagine Marks firing Nash, so I won’t fantasize about that happening.

I think mda basically runs the entire offense and Nash is just a figurehead tbh. If you guys had a great staff nobody could touch you in the league. And defensively the roster never made sense because Kd is your best perimeter defender and also rim protector as well. Coming off a blown achilles that is too much to ask imo and the front court is tiny. Griffin and green get the minutes there with a bit of Claxton and kd at the 4 while he gives you height he's thin. Nash should go but he's tight with Kd so I doubt they'd do it even though it's best for the team.

If that’s all he said I don’t interpret that as throwing the players under the bus.

I read that as a nothing general statement that people use when they lose a game but can’t technically explain why they lost.

He can’t say that they’re the better team because that would be laughable to state given the players on our team.

The only rational excuse left to play is that “we didn’t bring it tonight” even though it’s clear as day effort has nothing to do with it.

[Tha King]

Middleton is the key player for the Bucks and in no way should Harris, Shamet, and Green be the main defenders. If Brown isn't the primary then KD needs to be on him. With how limited your offense is right now, Middleton going off is effectively game as Giannis is still getting good production regardless.

I am also surprised there hasn't been any use of Griffin/Claxton together as a combo which theoretically would offer better paint resistance and would let you play a bigger lineup with KD at the three.

[ArksNetsSince99]

This fully healthy Bucks team is by far the best team left in the playoffs.

Everyone else is decimated by injuries or completely inexperienced.

If we can somehow get past them I really like our chances. But these next 2 games will be Hell. They will not go easy.

Why 2? A little optimism before closing game please

I reverse jinx everything

This time don’t do any reverse jinx **** , just say "we got it game 7 " we gonna blow them out , and prepare who we want next Atlanta or Sixers

No one is worried about middleton. Middleton cant beat us, even with a 30 point game. just dont give him open threes or foul him on threes. let him get whatever he watns on dribble pull ups or drives. We are smart not to waste a good defender on him.

I want claxton to play, but you dont play him next to Blake, Just sub the 2 for eachother. Paint resistance isnt really an issue. turnovers are what killed us. that and empty possesons.
