2025 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 1 - Bucks at Pacers - 4/19/25 - Noon - ESPN/FDSWI

[Siefer]

Prince and Kuzma proving the doubters wrong

[Matches Malone]

We're cooked with Doc.

gg's

[MuckyFingers]

Worst half of basketball they’ve played since getting crushed by the Bulls in Game 6 back in ‘15.

[Wonka]

0-0-0 on 0-3 from the field for Kuz in 14 minutes but it’s a positional issue

Clearly hes played poorly, but it does not help to played out of position.

Position has nothing to do with him being extremely bad at basketball on both ends. You’re coping.

[jute2003]

Sweet baby Jesus everything sucks worse than I thought it would.

Stupid **** lineups
Shooters pooping themselves
Giannis taking 38 seconds per free throw to shoot 13 percent

Woof

[TonySnellJr]

It’s just unbelievable how bad Doc is. How do you watch how **** that lineup has been and RUN IT as much as possible.

He just wants to be in Cabo. There’s a reason he was already retired. What a joke.

[Bernman]

Giannis has been ultra-disappointing, lbh. He's been part of the problem. He looks lethargic. I expected him and multiple others to be focused, that haven't been. The early start may be playing into it. Regardless, this needs to motivate them next game. This 1 may not be salvageable.

[neiLz]

Idk how guys are wide open every **** play from 3 or wide open lane but our guys can’t even pass

We don't know our defensive system

We know the system... but we have 3 pfs and a center running around chasing.

[Willie Colon]

This is unwatchable. We're going to get another 8 minutes of Doc's miserable lineup for the 3rd and Giannis bricking free throws is the only offense we can generate.

[MickeyDavis]

Don’t believe that at all. We’re like 2-17 on 3’s and Gianni’s has missed 10 ft’s, that’s way more than the difference

Yup. Indy is definitely NOT a lot better. It's one **** game.

They've been a top five team in the league for the last three months. They're a **** ton better.

Since the ASB, Indy 20-9, Bucks 19-10. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ShootingtheJ]

Giannis isn't a playoff point forward with the way teams trap him in the playoffs

He's our only chance. We got lambasted last year when Dame was on the floor.

[-Jragon-]

Giannis should catch in the spots he caught most of the year and do hos damage low.. someone else is going to have to wake up and help

[nagawicka]

Can Giannis practice fts at halftime?

Sure, he can fit 2 FTs in that timeframe.

[Prez]

Why is Doc playing these guys so much? Rollins-Lopez-Kuzma-Prince should of played 5 mins most in the first half

Because he's the dumbest coach in basketball lol. It literally is that simple. This has been an ongoing topic on this board for weeks and literally only Doc doesn't seem to grasp it's an atrocious lineup.

[JayMKE]

I just wish this team wasn’t humiliating to watch

[Frank Nova]

Terrible way to start the 1st 2 quarters of the series but hitting the panic button already is as wild as wild can be.

[AntetokounmBros]

I wanted to compare this to that game 1 against the Kyrie Celtics where Pierce said the series is over, but we went on to handle them easily… but no, no chance it goes that way.

[CannondaleF400]

Karma for Bud/Jrue/Griff/Khris.

[nagawicka]

Come on Freak a liiiitle bit softer. That stupid hesitation on the way up kills his form. How he suddenly became a reliable midrange shooter and Shaq at the FT line is beyond weird.

Compare to KPJ's FT style

[RiotPunch]

Let Doc hit the links and have Prunt dawg get us back into the game.
