PG Bulls - Loss

[tedbrogen]

Humiliating.

[bucksfansince88]

Looks like Giannis and dame had a lil something going on, GA seemed distant and not engaged

[nagawicka]

There's a reason no one is scared of us. It's really easy to out-coach our team regardless of personnel.

No. Not regardless of personnel in any way, shape or form.

Having Brook in the game when they need a 3

Brook gave a great contest without fouling though.. Caruso just hit an amazing shot. That's not too long after White hits a bunny hop back step 3 nothing but net that was also huge. Sometimes they just go in.

Nah he was on the side of Caruso. Shot was already loaded by the time Brook got his big paw up

They should’ve fouled in that situation it’s no way I’m letting them get a 3 off when we’re up with only five seconds left

[bucksfansince88]

Only saw 4th quarter and beyond but from what I saw Dame was completely disinterested in this game no idea why did somebody piss him off earlier in the game?

Him and Giannis both looked off tonight

There's fundamental issues with the team but people are just going to keep blowing it off like, "Oh, it's just November, who cares."

yeah, no matter how bad we are on offense and defense, they can say they need more time to gel

but you cant argue being up 3 with 5 seconds left, and not fouling.

But why would pros need to be instructed to foul. That's not really on coaching.

[Bucking Up]

Don't comment too often here but this team will not win anything while Griffin is Head Coach.

[th87]

What was the list of former players that we interviewed?

Trying to wrap my head around how AG made it through to the final 3 and the only thing I can think of is because he was the only decent candidate that was a former player?

He didn’t even think he had a chance to get the job, this whole fkin thing is insane.

It's like letting a 16 year old drive the Ferrari you just bought. A dumb one too.

Dame’s gonna have some rough nights, it happens. Also I suspect he tweaked something in the 2nd half. But this is what happens when you’re reliant on late game heroics by him to overcome and Giannis

Relying on Dame Time is an admission the team is broken as is, for the first 3.5 quarters. By broken, I mean Giannis telling Dame "I'm gonna do what I do. Then you do what you do" says it all. Dame put a good face on it, spun it as G respecting D's abilities, for what he can do, but Naahhh. He was telling him he's not gonna change his style to play with him for the first three quarters. You'd stand there and watch him do it too.

Dame is probably getting pissed because guys keep looking him off. MarJon had a 3 on 2 fastbreak with Dame one side and Beasley on the other. So he decides to try and take it to the hoop against the two defenders. If I was Dame I would have said screw this crap too.

Giannis might get in his own way when it comes to success of this team

Probably tired of this Dame Time scheme. We shouldn’t have to go to it most games. Even if it continually works it’ll kill our guys and especially Dame by the end of the season.

Even uttering 'Dame Time' out loud is an admission G's refusing to play team ball for 3 1/2 quarters. Why would any sane franchise rely on getting bailed out by anyone? by a real superstar only makes it worse. 'This unbeatable-team-on-paper **** up so badly all game we had to go buy the biggest superstar available so we could treat him like a housecleaning maid. We saw G throw buncha passes but nowhere does that rise to the level of running point.

Can't wait for the stories that are going to come out about that entire interview process. Giannis demanding to hire Griffin/former player or he will refuse to sign? I feel like that was a real conversation.

Yes. Bulls without their (arguably) two best players and we were completely outcoached and lost.

Regardless of who we're up against, the opposition coach can run systems that will cause us to fail repeatedly.

[greekbuck34]

We tried to beat another team with just half of a quarter of good basketball and If we had sent them to the FT line instead of trusting our defense ( ) or if Caruso had missed that 5% 3p shot we would have done it again.
Both Giannis and Dame try to coast to wins and it becomes impossible because of our defense and rebounding.

Everyone apart from Giannis and Lopez was completely off offensively so we couldn't simply outscore another team again.
Dame's shot was off, he couldn't get to the FT line so he created good open 3s in the clutch which we missed apart from a few from Brook.

I'm starting to think that the rebounding is more serious problem than our defense. Everytime Giannis is on the bench or guarding someone in the perimeter the defensive rebound becomes a coin flip. I think he sat down during the 4th for a few minutes and we allowed 5-6 offensive rebounds in a row. For a such bad defense its gutting to constanlty give up second chances after such valuable to you stops.

[Sigra]

“We knew that if we got them in the rotations and we touched the paint, we were gonna have open shots.” Caruso said.

Yep. That simple. The book is out.

[Sigra]

The thing that annoys me most about this is that Giannis' clutch free throws and then his (What should have been) incredible game saving block are going to be forgotten because Caruso hit the shot of his life.

Def not going to get as upset as some of you guys over an overtime loss on the road in November though.

I'm not mad at a random November loss but its hard to watch these games and feel like our two stars are meshing together better. If anything i feel like they're both just doing their own thing more.That's the stuff I'm concerned about.

That is one concern. Then you have "is Middleton going to be healthy" concern. And also "why we changed our defense so much" concern.

So many reasons to not feel good if you are Bucks fan.

[Sigra]

This MF dropped “energy and effort”?

Please excise this POS.

Coach Bud liked energy, effort in Bucks' win over Portland

It is 100 percent on coaching in this game with this coach. Ag said after the game that he had instructed them to foul if the player with the ball had his back to the basket. Additionally ag said that he had told them that they should in any case wait till the 5 second mark before fouling. He said it became very close to the 5 second mark. And he said that this was on him (ag); he said this was on himself twice.

Glad that I missed this game live. I instead got to meet Keanu Reeves and watch his butt-rock band perform.

About to dive in, though. I don't know why I do this to myself.
