Yet I presented mine. You didn't present yours. Hitchens' Razor: what's claimed w/out evidence can be dismissed w/out it.

I don't understand.. so Adrian Griffin is a good coach?

No one believe the Bucks has a roster good enough to anything of note outside of this board.

Griffin being a bad coach hurts your argument.

Smdh.

This was my emotional "call it game there, just hope for improvements that can carry over to Game 3 from this point" moment.

Have you seen the stepback bricks by Dame this game lol

Dame talking crap to Hali only for Dane to play like Bledsoe without the d and Hali to play like an all star is fitting for current Dame. Tiny guards fall off a cliff fast and dame is falling fast. And no it’s not just this game. He hasn’t been “dame” since he’s been here

And usually I’m against firing a coach near or in the playoffs, but I say go for it. Doc is worthless.

I'd take Prunty in a heartbeat.

Part of me is curious about Giannis on another team with another superstar. I feel the result ends up looking like this more often than not (sorry for the spicy take)

Not new, not by a long shot.

Guys, he’s been regularly looking for teammates tonight and on time. That was pretty clear quite early.

In the usual flailing style, sure; that's never worked. You can't say iso heroball + desperation last-second passes qualifies as legit ball movement. Same as it's ever been.

We're playing Indiana, not Cleveland. We beat them 3-1 and had two fewer wins on the season. To say Doc has been ass and these performances have been unacceptable isn't a waste of breath or copium. This is a very beatable team and we're killing ourselves.

This was the most predictable thing going into this game.

I hope Dame playing tonight is a decent warm up game so he can be positive on Friday. He has been a negative so far tonight which I expected.

Guys, Dame is obviously not 100% yet.
He's playing to get up to game speed.
This is not a must-win game. More like a nice-to-win.

At what point do we break the glass on Andre? He can at least keep people in front of him

after two years Giannis and Dame (and coaches) have not managed to have any actions together

He's not even the one initating offense this game, usually getting it late in the clock. Are you watching a different game?

92% of teams that go down 0-2 lose. It’s a must win.

If we win this game, I’ll buy everyone who and-1s this post a hat.

This Pacers team is way better than a lot of you guys give them credit for. Been saying this for awhile.

That said, a team with a top 3 MVP candidate and Dame should at least be competitive with them lol.
