Up 4 with 40 left in regulation, up 7 with 70 seconds left in OT. Just the roughest possible way to go.

That soft and 1 for Hali was a nice cherry on top of the awful reffing all game.

They’ve got some insane voodoo magic going for them at the end of these games recently. They won like 10 games in ridiculous fashion in march and april.

Hope the cavs kick their s*** in

Read on Twitter


If by "something else", you mean "hot garbage", I'd agree.

Other fanbases and media salivating over Giannis leaving is filling up my twitter timeline. This is going to be a long summer.

Guys, just remember it was Giannis and 4 roleplayers playing 45+ minutes against a better team that could go 9 deep. We all knew Doc's stupid insistence on the jumbo lineups for 3.5 games nuked the series. Keep Giannis and find a way to reload with a couple of moves and a modern coaching staff.

Don't know what not catching a ball in your hands a middle schooler would most times under no pressure has to do w/ gassing. That's feeling the pressure. Same thing w/ a passing decision.

We can give credit to the guy overall w/out sugarcoating every negative. There were some. More good then bad.


Pass was low, got to fire that core to get it. As the great Daryl Hall and Joyce Carol Oates would say, no can do.

The company man refs definitely wanted to finish us off to get Giannis jettisoned. In the end we helped them though.

I'm really sad our season ended this way. I wanted to see more of that starting lineup and what they could do/could have done in Game 6 at home and beyond.

Let them. Giannis definitely doesn’t do what the media tells him to do. We’ve seen that before.

Stop giving this team credit. They almost lost this game twice up 6 with 1 min left.


I don't think 10% is giving them much credit. It's under the hypothetical they win this. Then they have a home game where they're small faves. That's 60% chance, then <20% on the road, about 1/6. If you're in the same position in game 7 you feel good about that.


I feel like Wisconsin fans always get ahead of themselves or pose hypotheticals that aren’t deserved. The Packers won 3 Super Bowls in a row before Terrell Davis humbled them. We surely would have cake walked past the Warriors, had we beaten the Raptors (lost in 6! Not 7 even). This probably should have been a Pacers sweep.

All us idiots were calling for this before the first game. This board rarely has unanimity and yet we all knew it.


I had problems with Bud's rigid schemes, but he usually played the right players. The lineup of Kuzma and Prince were next level derangment.

I want Doc and his sidekick Ham out of here.


I appreciate this post. At least Bud and Jrue made Jimmy work for those buckets during the collapse

I mean a fumbled pass and throwing the ball to other team are probably the main reasons we lost the game.


Boiling it down to two plays when you have a guy who went absolutely **** nuclear to even get them in that position makes no sense to me. How about Giannis' missed FTs and 7 TOs, then?

And why did AJG even pass?

Bringing up the missed FTs and 7 TOs from earlier in the game is using your logic lol. Crunch time is more important.

Those mistakes by GTJ at the end are unforgivable. (Unforgivable in the context of who to blame the loss on, not going to burn his house down or anything.)

Only two players on the court when it mattered was on that team.


Franchise and mostly this Giannis in general. The finals stick out as an anomaly compared to how Giannis (and the team) handles the playoffs and pressure.

It was against pressure out of a double team, like Gary was when he turned it over. Most passes aren't right at chest level. An NBA player should catch that 99% of the time. That was Sims level hands. Can you think another time he dropped a ball in the air? Maybe once all season. That's a choke.

Yeah GTJ made some unforgivable mistakes for sure. But he was also so good until the last minute. I love that guy’s confidence. I wish we had a backup guard to give him some rest.

I don't know what 'my logic' means but alright. In any case, I think this is some eggregiously misplaced frustration but go off.
