Get Nick Cannon here to teach this team how to finish.

No Middleton in the game at the 23 seconds left offensive possession is a joke.

Giannis in, out of time out, down 3 with less than 8 seconds was equally as stupid. Then with .6 putting Gianni's on the floor with Middleton inbounding was also an awful idea.

Blow this sh*t up. Not winning anything but the cup. Only keep Giannis. There is no magical run coming.

Unfortunately Khris is not as good as he was.

Also, why did Dame hesitate on that last look? Play ran to perfection. Let it fly.

Yep! That quick pump fake to see if the D reacts is so dumb, especially in that situation. I knew it was off as soon as I saw the hesitation. Let that **** fly Dame, that’s what you do.. smh. Giannis and Dame taking turns missing game winning and game tying shots is fitting for tonight.

Can’t take away the Cup championship

Bucks thinking they can just take it easy and coast cause they don't care about the regular season has the exact opposite effect. They end up having to play huge minutes against crap teams and still lose. Which also causes them to have to play big minutes at the end of the season due to a mediocre record further increasing injury risk like for Giannis and Dame last year.

We need more scorers. Don’t let Cam Thomas leave fiserv.

To me this game reinforces the value of AJ Green. Our back court looked apathetic (and pathetic) without him.

Dame is unplayable without a good shut down defender next to him. And if his shot isn't falling you get the abyss we saw tonight.

This only solves tonight's issues but kinda need the best rim scorer in the league to make a pretty easy finish. As I said in the GT his touch lets him down in these moments all the time.

Dame wanted to go to Miami and play with Bam. Jimmy wants out of Miami, played ball at Marquette, and is Giannis's kind of lunatic. This is the move.

He was clearly fouled in that play though. Hard to have touch with another guy pushing and clinging in consecutive moments.

The Cup championship might be the “good ol’ days” for this iteration of the team.

Take the regular season seriously and bank some easy wins. Just inexcusable stuff ever since the Brooklyn loss last week.

The lackadaisical attitude of this team doesn’t inspire any confidence.

Aging Jimmy with an attitude sounds like a bad move.

Of course expect him to make that but it's a tough finish with multiple fouls. Path cut off, riding him, and arms slapped as he's gathering.

As soon as I saw him color his hair I knew he was for the circus. Hard pass.

That's what he did last season, unless it was a matter of Giannis arriving, then Dame's mojo immediately disappears cuz he's not his team's #1 and playing on ball most of the time. That also could be the explanation.

The d is cuz he wants to coast. He's unprofessional, & he needs to start answering for that. If we didn't have a yes man/access media, he might.

yeah, the 7 footer driving full speed while simultaneously trying to get separation by moving one arm towards the basketball while moving the hand with the ball in the opposite direction to cleanly get the ball off the glass while while a 7 footer is all over him ....lacks touch

Horst needs to make a big bold move. It's going to have to be Dame, Mids, Brooks, or Bobby. Problem is that I don't think Giannis will agree to let any of them go.
