Bucks beat the Bulls - Postgame thread

[Prez]

46/16/6 on 79% TS w/ just 1 turnover on the 2nd of a B2B, gotta drop him a spot or two in the MVP race.imo

Bulls crying about reffs when nobody was talking **** when 2nd quarter they gave some BS for them...

[MiltownMadness]

Another good defensive performance. Offense was saved a bit by Giannis being crazy good but sometimes that's all you need.

Dame struggled in every matchup with the Bulls this year. Sums up his weird season tbh.

Bulls have maybe the best PG defense in the league because Caruso. Been taking unders for guards vs. Bulls all year lol

This is fair. I saw Dame also just straight up miss plenty of shots too.

Yeah he had great looks tonight tbh. Good misses though if that makes sense, lots of back rim and getting close on difficult shots

Long day reminiscing about the glory days of Arts and Ersan Ilyasova trade rumors.

I feared we had seen the best of Giannis. I was very very wrong.

I think Giannis will peak at like 33, he will see his athleticism decline and just become a near 40% 3pt shooter randomly. Think Lebron

I know it’s a small sample, but this Giannis from deep would be insane if he could keep it up through the rest of the season. It’s giving me a raging clue

It really does suck that Dame is in a long funk but he's still getting guarded like a superstar and it's amazing how much more energy Giannis seems to have when he's not having to create so much offense for himself outside the three. He's playing more games, more minutes and almost never gassed. Previous seasons he's been always exhausted.

120-104 looked possible at one point

Caruso rarely guarded Dame. He opened on Giannis.

Dame is clearly using more energy on defense right now and this is a key to Bucks winning basketball games. The games where Dame is defending AND he is hitting shots it will be nigh impossible to beat the Bucks. Love this formula we got going

It's a season long "funk" but he still maintains 60% TS at the guard position with superstar volume, so Dames "funk" is basically Jrues gold standard

The fact that Giannis hasn't just solved back to backs, but seems energized by them, is just more proof that he's a different species.

Giannis' 3pt % is now over 30% on the season for the first time.

We need to be taken seriously, so I just asked A.I to wrap up the game in the style of Walter Cronkite: -

[The scene opens with Walter Cronkite's authoritative voice, resonating through the airwaves, as vintage typewriters clack in the background.]

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Walter Cronkite reporting on a night of unparalleled excitement in the world of basketball. Tonight, the Milwaukee Bucks have emerged victorious over their long-standing rivals, the Chicago Bulls. It was a clash of the titans, a battle that will be remembered for years to come."

[Cut to footage of the game's most thrilling moments, showcasing the Bucks' tenacity and the Bulls' unwavering resilience.]

"In a game that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Bucks showcased their prowess under the guidance of none other than the legendary Doc Rivers. With his strategic brilliance and unparalleled leadership, Rivers steered his team through the highs and lows of the game, inspiring them to greatness when it mattered most."

[Cut to interviews with key players, capturing their admiration and respect for Doc Rivers' coaching prowess.]

"Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks' unstoppable force, put on a show for the ages, dominating the court with his unmatched athleticism and skill. But it was under Doc Rivers' guidance that Antetokounmpo and his teammates found the strength and determination to overcome every obstacle in their path."

[Cut to scenes of jubilant Bucks fans celebrating in the stands, their cheers echoing throughout the arena.]

"As the final buzzer sounded, signaling the Bucks' hard-fought victory, it was clear that Doc Rivers had once again cemented his legacy as one of the greatest coaches in basketball history. His ability to inspire and lead his team to victory against formidable opponents like the Chicago Bulls is a testament to his brilliance and the indomitable spirit of the Milwaukee Bucks."

[The screen fades to black, leaving viewers with the echo of Walter Cronkite's timeless sign-off: "And that's the way it is."]

Oh man! This bucks team BROKE Chicago. Like broke them.

#1Giannis being unstoppable and dominating. That already has to **** with your head.

#2 Crowder has slowed down but he's annoying and will have no problem knocking a guy around and picking up a couple fouls. Just to piss guys off and make em feel it.

#3 Bobby being a chippy mfer! Giving no break when the starters sit.

#4 Bev every single moment on the court being chippy, yapping, and absolutely annoying AF mfer! Until he breaks you and you completely lose your ****.


Oh ****! We are that team. This team with the new D is just starting to get confident and impose their will. Has some rough edges to them.... DAMN! THIS COULD BE GOOD!

THIS TEAM GOT DAWGS!!

I was traveling and PP was supposed to do the PG thread. I guess the game was too late for him

[emunney]

[Profound23]
