If anything that game validated he should have been playing that lineup all series. It's the best game we've played in Indy the last 2 yrs. Maybe if we play it at home and from the beginning, we have more margin for error to have a collapse like that. Obviously we should have won, twice.

We freakin knew that lineup was fire... Makes no sense

I get frustrations and playing with your heart on your sleave but that **** after the game is some sore loser ****. Don't like how Indiana act? Don't **** lose and collapse against them.

Franchise needs a complete reset. This offseason is the perfect time for it.

Also we don’t need stars, we need better shooters, lots of experienced players who don’t lose their poise at crucial points and of course better poa defenders. Which we should be able to get without trading Giannis.

we really did sell our collective soul for '21

is what it is at this point

maybe we'll make the finals again in my lifetime, but probably not

We were never winning that series but no team should lose from that position, so late in the game.

KPJ played well and didnt force anything tonight, he had two noticeable turnovers but other than that I thought he played extremely well. he is a priority this offseason for sure imo

Ball handlers yes, but dude, AJ and Gary hit some cold blooded contested threes in overtime in an elimination game. They have nerves of steel.

Just had a complete meltdown at the end, can’t really explain it. They were so tired, maybe that’s why.

It was really cringy. I **** hate Indiana and still hate how we acted. We just look like babies.

alright well.. watching them get smoked by Cleveland will be a joy.

i need to take a big break from caring about the roster and team in general but i'll stick around to chat in the around the league thread

Ahh, can't go that far. We win tonight and we still likely lose the series. At the very least we get smoked round 2. Had Packers won they go to the SB with a great shot at winning it.

I check the score and see the Bucks lost by 1.

Do I even want to know what happened. Whatever it was probably predictable lol.

Even you would have been fairly optimistic the Bucks take that W with the position they were in. It's an all-timer lmao

I'm starting to piece it together reading the posts here.

Looks I knew this team too well by refusing to watch the overtime lol.

Our Bucks broadcast showed it started with Giannis pulled Mathurin in and sonning him. Was **** weird.

Definition of the term basketball terrorist.

lol at someone watching that game and coming away that Giannis is overrated. He didn't even play his best game and still was a dominant force and the prime reason a team surrounding him of all scrap heap pickups should have won vs a young good team that can go like 9 guys deep of all good players

yannisk · Post #115 » by **yannisk** » Wed Apr 30, 2025 1:08 am

terrible loss, but in a way it's good that they didn't give us false hopes for the series and next season. Not to mention winning the series would guarantee River's position for next season.

hated the Giannis turnaround at the end of regular time, he takes the most difficult shot to prove something

Yep would be thrilled to bring those 5 back. Work in some Rollins, get lucky somehow.

1000% they did but still my point stands. You need that close out games in the NBA. No way around it.

Also how about a decent inbound play

Well it’s his first season coaching and he doesn’t have any vet coaches to help, right, right?
