We basically paid Ross 54 million to win us a couple of regular season games. He's done absolutely nothing for us in the playoffs. Teams just scheme around him, force him into tough shots, and render him completely ineffective.

We just HAVE to get more natural shooters / scorers on this team, we're doing fine defensively and even some good open looks, we just can't buy a bucket.

Bledsoe vs DJ is a BAD matchup on defense

Augustin has been horrific.

But the chart says Fultz isn't allowed to come back in for another minute and 27 seconds at least...

Why does DJ play more than 10 minutes a night again? He needs to go. He's just terrible this year.

Maybe he should take some tougher shots :lol:

He's missed quite a few WIDE open ones tonight which makes it even more frustrating.

Honestly the Bucks are winning by default. Any team in the league would be curb stomping this Magic team right now.

The Magic only play with good effort when they are hitting shots. Sucks we don't have a star that can elevate his game when stuff like this happens.

This is a tough watch. We all expected a resurgent Bucks team but the upsetting part is they aren’t playing all that well, we’re just awful.

I think some of the individual efforts have just been horrendous. Notably DJ/Evan/Ross. I watched DJ and Evan flat out quit on a play and give up a basket.

I also think we are defending the 3pt line pretty poorly. Some of these are bound to start dropping and they are beginning to.

Maybe Minnesota will get us a good pick tonight. AG for James Johnson and swap picks.

It's comical to me that Fultz didn't check back in after that putrid Augustin stretch. Clifford isn't making his subs until the chart says so.

I really wanted a Bucks-Clippers matchup in the Finals, but I honestly don't think they'll make it past the Raptors, unfortunately. The reason I say that is because if they play the same level of defense against a good team. They're losing.
