PG Indy: Bucks on the brink

[Wonka]

Khris Middleton averaged 25/9/5 on 48/35/90 against this same team 12 months ago.

We traded him and our 1st round pick for Kyle Kuzma.

Then, we extended the GM who made that trade.

Khris Middleton played 800 minutes this season

And those 800 minutes were infinitely more impactful/less damaging than Kuz's 1900.

Game 4, at home, must win to give us any chance...and we don't lead for one single minute of the game.

Bucks playing like it's a midweek game in the middle of december, whilst Indiana are actually playing with intensity.

People should be furious with what's been put out on the floor this series. It's not a playoff ready team by any stretch, and that's not just in personnel, it's the way that we're playing (or not playing).

It's like a Seinfeld episode with Costanza as the GM.

G1: blowout
G2: close’ish
G3: Trent game
G4: blowout
G5: probable blowout

This series could not have gone much worse tbh. Someone def sold their soul for the 2021 title and now the piper is well and truly coming to collect

Thank you, Giannis. It has been a fun **** ride. Feels like we've reached the end.

Dame out indefinitely while hampered by his max salary slot, no meaningful cap flexibility, albeit potentially some. Lame duck head coach that will maybe be brought back, lame duck general manager who was extended after falling behind in a playoff series.

It's either treadmill with Giannis as he ages or cash in while he's still got Top-3 player in the world value. It's heartbreaking, but we're here now.

Yeah, I actually kind of think so. It's brutal, unreal, and I don't think it's going to happen, but it does actully come into play now. Especially if Dame's injury is legit.

I still don't think Giannis asks out, he's that type of dude. And yeah, would not surprise me if we kept him and gave it another go with whatever roster we will duct tape and glue together for next year. But that train ain't going anywhere.

This is where we have to hope the owners don’t fall for any Dame excuses. It was a mess before his injury.

Bit depressing we could only take 1 game from this Indy team because GTJ went off from three.

At least Liverpool won the EPL today. There’s a team you can reliably cheer for this year

My gf is a Liverpool fan and was at that game today. Had the ticket for months to catch a game while she was there and lucked out that it ended up being such a big match. I’m too depressed about the state of the Bucks to even comment on them but happy for her she got to experience that. Sports. Cool.

[benultimate]

So we tank next year and hope New Orleans are tankier?

[FAH1223]

Maybe we would have lost this series anyway, and maybe it was never going to be our year, but the Dame injury was a real gut punch. Just please don't be a year.

Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles in April 2013.

He returned in December 2013.

But then fractured his kneecap after 6 games.

Still would’ve been better off banking on him being healthy rather than this abomination of a trade.

But at least we got under the second apron. If you’re gonna suck, may as well minimise the tax.

[JonHeist]

If you want the best thing for the bucks long and short term it's keeping giannis no matter what. If you want to do right by him you ship him to the spurs or okc -- even if he says he wants to stay

The state of everything is so bleak and hopeless that it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they kept him just for the sake that they’re already paying him. Why pay a new guy when we’re already ****

[Brewhoopfan]

The reality is that it didn't matter who was on the ream. Doc was going to get beat.

[Siefer]

I just feel so bad for Dame.

He's talking about keeping Doc. Of course we're keeping Dame now.

[StickeeFingaz]

Watched Kuzma come out early at halftime and back iron three free throws in a row, then proceed to back iron a gimme from 4 feet, he sucks so much ass.

[VooDoo7]

There's zero chance we trade Giannis unless he asks for it. He's the owners' money maker.

[rilamann]

When Giannis won his first MVP at age 24. I thought the Bucks would be clowning the league when Giannis was around 30 and at the peak of his prime.

The Bucks really screwed this up.

[bucksfansince88]

Let’s get that billboard up and running! Doc and Jimmy Haslam came in and destroyed our franchise
