In 23 minutes we've surpassed the PG thread for our 16th straight win

Year 13 or 14 and they still fall for this bullsh*t.

Fortunately they don’t call that **** in the playoffs which lead to Harden pouting and going 2-11. He’s always been Mr. February (yes I know it’s March)

Of course Bud didn’t challenge and he still has it to use for a free bottle of red at the Mecca after the game

The only way we lose to these clowns in a playoff series is if they foul grift their way to every win.

Everyone pissed at Bud because he played Khris in the 4th tonight, and Khris was garbage no doubt, but playing him is the right call. Need to get him back up to 30+ minutes for the playoffs, that's more important than any individual game.

That's understandable, but this game was very winnable. Khris can get all the minutes he needs against the Wiz tomorrow.

Now imagine the backlash Bud would get if he sat Khris vs Philly and played him vs Washington lol

Look, I'm not sure of what his playing situation is currently as far as b2bs or whatever, but he should've sat those last 6 or so minutes because he simply wasn't productive, offensively or defensively. Bud could have had a convo with Khris similar to what he said to Bobby in the 3rd. Would that have been a bad thing?

Giannis' BBIQ seems to turn to mush against Boston and Philly. That's kind of concerning.

I mean it happens a lot against most physical and/or long teams. It's why his in-between game not fully developing has been super frustrating.

He missed a couple of baby hooks tonight. But he didn't even attempt his midrange J which he's been feeling more lately. Sometimes it's weird to see him completely abandon the in-between game.

Hard to win when the other team attempts 20 FTs in the 4th quarter.

Topes lose.
Topes lose.

Yeah, I respect Philly's ceiling but I don't fear them in a series.

Agree to disagree, getting Khris up to 27 min tonight is bigger than Khris sticking around 20 and winning the game. We need Khris to ramp up to 35ish minutes come the 2nd round of the playoffs. You don't him ramp up by not playing him

Sam Kuffel (everyone has that one where you think she is much hotter than everyone else. The fact she is a Bucks fan with a great take makes this even more.)

Guys it was the defense. We scored 130 points on 53/50/90. Bullyball Giannis was efficient scoring in the end.

We lost rebounds, made dumb fouls and send them to the FT line and they made 10-13 tough contested shots at the buzzer to beat our good defense. It happens.

That's a Bucks win 90% of the time.

yep. no idea why theres any discussion related to the offense. i thought the offense was actually kind of nuts

the defense, hustle plays, and normal intangibles youd want to see were whack ass. like we literally gave up 80 points in the 2nd half and 48 points in the 4th qtr. its amazing we werent blown out of the gym

My argument would be that if Giannis isn't going 150% offensively wildly attacking he wouldn't be completely gassed out on defense where he rested the entire 4th quarter and made dumb play after dumb play with the lack of box out, foul on the 3, etc. The staff has to be smarter and take the ball out of Giannis' hands because Giannis is inherently a dumb player, he's not a good decision maker, he can't pace himself, doesn't have a good pulse for the game. You mitigate that by making him a play finisher and less of an initiatior which also keeps him fresher.

[WhatTheBuck]

You can always count on a Giannis turnover, a totally needless foul or a missed 2 metre baby hook when its time to throw a game away. All that was missing to complete the horror show was a stereotypical brick three.

So not enough Jevon Carter minutes then.

[CharityStripe34]

Man, the way some are talking about this game we should just trade Gianni while his stock is high lol. I get it that he had a very uneven game and made two crucial mistakes on D, but let's take a bit of a breath. I do agree that he fell into "take over" mode way too soon in the fourth which slowed the ball movement, which was my least favorite aspect. Embiid looked like he was going to keel over, they should've kept the pace up.

i didnt watch the game but this bothers me zero.

It's not even so much that. He just gets tunnel vision and barrels into defenders while committing incredibly dumb turnovers and fouls when we play the Celtics and Sixers.

The charge with about 4 minutes to go when we were up 116-100 was a killer.

Then the foul on the McDaniel's 3 when we were up 120-116 with just over 2 minutes to go was another killer. McDaniel missed the shot and we had a chance to get the rebound and go up 6 or maybe 7 with 2 minutes to go. But Giannis fouled him after the release.

Just rookie level dumb **** by Giannis when we play Philly & Boston.

We've seen no little flip/push shots this season after being ok with them to end last season. Comes down to a lack of feel for the game and having next to no real rhythm to what he's doing at all. He doesn't make any sense.

[WhatTheBuck]

It's pathetic the amount of energy the crowd puts in to put the opposition off at the free throw line when some wings are on the line compared to when the game is on the line. Are people that cheap?
