PG Pacers - Bucks Down 2-0

[Thunder Muscle]

I wish I was a casual fan or a frontrunner. But I'm not so I watch every game and really care about this team. The rewards are great (I will ALWAYS appreciate the championship), but the lows really suck.

a first round exit and a Giannis trade will probably be the end for me. As you alluded to, it will be nice not to waste time on a non-contender. I literally plan my work and family travel to keep late April to early June clear. Next year just going to plan a memorial day get away right away.

I find myself waning already. I think the Dame trade not working/Griffin-Doc debacle kinda made it a reality that the window is closed and I don’t think I have another dark age of Bucks basketball in me. Last time around they hooked me on season tickets, cheap game nights at the BC, etc but those days are long gone and we have like no draft picks to get excited over when we do become bad again. It could get ugly. Glad I got to see a championship, which is all I asked for years ago. Can’t take that away.

Dame is a net negative since the day he came. He's the WWE of basketball. He's convinced putting on a show is more important than winning.

Doc is an unserious coach, if he's a coach at all. Any random second league European coach is better than him.

Bucks are an unserious organization. Prioritizing "names" ahead of a functional team. Do you even watch basketball when you hire Doc Rivers? How do you go from Bud to Griffin to Doc? Obviously you're ignorant or you don't care.

Giannis needs to leave Bucks. I know you hate that but it's true. He's wasting the last years of his prime in an organization that does not care or know how to win. For the sake of his legacy and our mental health he needs to leave.

Do what Kareem did. Respect yourself and get out of this ****. You gave back more than enough. Move on!

I understand your frustration, but if I were a mod I'd ban you for life.

My guy I have wasted hundreds of hours not sleeping at 4am hopping to watch some quality basketball and instead all I got is an amateur looking team pretending to know what they're doing. Banning is the least of my concerns. In fact maybe you should join me looking at the reality

KD had switched teams, embarrassed himself, and ruined his legacy. Everyone will get fired here, and if we're lucky the right people will get hired and move this in the right direction. We can't do worse than Horst and Doc.

[Plossum]

Doc was quite **** your feelings to end the year and just played the best dudes. Now he has fallen back into the safety blanket of his vets.

Anyhoo, whatevs. We don’t have the cattle to make a deep run, even if we could somehow pull this one out from here.

[Bucksmaniac]

Kuzma sucked again tonight. Totally lost in defense. Constantly misses rotations. Braindead in team defense concepts.

Per usual dude picks out the guy the poster b4 him said was ok.Yep dude 5 guys played tonight 3 of them sucked but in your typical fashion concentrate on 1 guy

If someone defends TP, Brook, or Dame, I'll disagree with them too.

Brook helped us win a lot more games this year than Khris, who you called as deserving more money from us than Brook. Just a reminder you don’t have all the right takes.

[nagawicka]

Sims showed something. Wish he had some mitts tho.

His first day with the new hands, be gentle.

[Plossum]

At least we’ll avoid the 3-1 up Doc curse from here.

[German Athens]

Haliburton, Nembhard, McConnell, and Mathurin are all quicker than Dame with the ball in their hands, right?

[MickeyDavis]

KPJ is 24 and in his first playoffs but I didn't expect him to be so flustered.

[Bucksmaniac]

At least we’ll avoid the 3-1 up Doc curse from here.

I’m starting to wonder if he does this crap on purpose to avoid that chance, maybe that’s why he’s so nonchalant and still confident? Could he really be trolling us and the media to try to reverse things on his big series leads?

[bucksfansince88]

Please fire Doc, that presser was embarrassing

I think he will bounce back... More concerned about him flying off the handle

[drone3]

They are going to clean shop ...Horst and Doc booted

[Wooderson]

Doc starts TP/Kuz/Giannis/Brook

Doc doesn't stagger Kuz/Giannis

Doc actively avoids giving optimal spacing to the best downhill threat in the league

Doc doesn't stagger Giannis/Dame

Yes there's a ton of other **** purely on the players, but the coach has low hanging fruit just waiting to be picked and refuses. Basic stuff that 28 other coaches do from the jump.

Very talented but still a boy. Hopefully he matures with age.

[RiotPunch]

This Doc presser gonna make me pick up smoking cigarettes again.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

cant wait to see who he throws under the bus after the series closes

[paulpressey25]

KPJ is 24 and in his first playoffs but I didn't expect him to be so flustered.

This is why he was available for MarJon. Our team is relying on a lot of castoffs and has beens. Doesn’t absolve Doc, but the talent level on this team has gone down the drain.

[fan230]

Doc should be fired before Game 3.

[paulpressey25]

There needs to be a massive public campaign to stop that starting five from playing together anymore in this playoffs.

How much are billboard ads? I got this.

Big Boy - i.e. the one on the high-rise bridge was quoted to us as over $5,500 back in 2013. The McKinley off ramp billboard we settled for was around $4,000 if I recall. But Big Kurty did the negotiations with Lamar. He’d have the exact dollars.

[Bernman]

I'd have liked watching the Wizards this season because they have interesting prospects & a direction. It's also low expectations/stress. But just not the prior 30 seasons when they had poor prospects/direction, like us for most of that time too. I might be out for that too.

Not all rebuilds/blow-ups are the same. If we pivoted from Giannis to Flagg & friends, so long as there would be enough of them, that would be fun to me. You got to know when to hold him, and when to fold 'em. The Doc factor creates doubt. You wish we had closure. But better safe than sorry.
