Something tells me we're gonna win this. They only stay ahead because we don't rebound and they get second chances. Other than Struss, they ain't much.

The Bucks and Cavs seem pretty equal talent wise. The Cavs are just a much better coached team than the Bucks. It shows on the court and in their records.

If anything you could actually make a case the Bucks have more talent just because the Cavs don't have anyone on Giannis' level.


Frustrating to think how much better this Bucks team would be right now with Atkinson.


You can't be serious.

The Cavs starting lineup is so much better than the Bucks it's not even arguable. And you blame the coach for that? What a bad narrative.

Then you get to the bench and they have a legitimate starter in Hunter and the Bucks have nothing.

The defense has been pathetic the last two games.

The talent gap between the Bucks and Cavs is not a big one, even if for the sake of argument we give the talent edge to the Cavs.

If this Cavs team can be 53-10. This Bucks team shouldn't be a loss or two away from being the #6 seed.



If the Bucks had a healthy Middleton, I'd give the Bucks an edge. But taking away an elite shooter and an excellent passer and the Bucks are good, but not a championship team.

Horst has tried, but failed to get any help for Giannis and Dame. Kuzma is ok and Portis is good as a bench player. Maybe Trent helps a little.

But you can't trot out Prince as a high minute guy in the playoffs and think you can win.

Sad to say I was just thinking how we might be missing Khris

Cut it to 7. Turnover, turnover, 4 opportunities and a turnover.

This offense is incoherent, as is Prince guarding star pg's. Doc's gotta go.

It's not smart when you have low bball i.q. & offensive coherence in the halfcourt to get rid of your highest i.q. player who's a great organizer/distributor. These guys don't know how to get into their offense right now.

Doesn't help if the Cavs can freely grapple guys
