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.


Not everything's black or white dude. And sure, if we won game 3 by hitting 1 shot in 3 periods vs. the Raptors we'd have been the 1st team in NBA history to lose after being up 3-0. This just in - it's God damn hard to win a series w/out 2 of your top 3 players. That's what the NBA playoffs have shown recently. But if I say we didn't have literally any shot - 1 in 10 to win 2 - that's giving them too much credit.

Feel most GTJ, couldn't ask for more.
In reference to our title winning year

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.)


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

You’re arguing that what Trent did earlier in the game is just as important as what happened in the final few seconds aka the first play of a game is just as important as the last. I’m disagreeing. Hardly going off… :-?

My post from March 29th.

I was about to say that at this point our playoff match-up is all about who it would be less annoying to lose to. The Bucks aren't beating the Pacers or the Knicks in a best of 7 series. But losing to the Knicks would be easier to swallow than losing to the Pacers for the 2nd straight season, this time with Giannis.

That ended up being one hell of an understatement.

Shoulda just took that #6 seed like I was saying....

Say what you will about that last few series of plays, but Gary Trent Jr. was incredible in OT. That was an all-time performance despite the final second butter fingers.

I know we had a terrible end to the game, but I’m so proud of that group of guys that finished this game. So many guys stepped up. AJ Green is a legit playoff difference maker. That’s amazing. GTJ can go off like Steph in the playoffs (ideally as a bench SG in the future). Bobby worked his ass off. KPJ did really well in his first ever playoff series. Giannis ran through a brick wall to get that win.

I don’t see a group of guys that have given up on this organization. Make some smart moves this offseason, get a better coach, and let’s go again next year. I don’t care if we’re not title contenders. I just want to see that kind of heart and effort surrounding Giannis.

He’s saying the game is a sum of its parts. Take one out and you have a different outcome.

It’s okay. We are all frustrated by the loss. Let it go.

Are some still mad at our post game behaviour after seeing those videos? Giannis is a sweetheart for not laying out that old man. I can't recall any pro athletes parent ever pulling a stunt like that. Crazy.

Giannis clocking Haliburton's dad would have been a somewhat satisfying end to the season for me.

Your friendly reminder that Doc started Taurean Prince over GTJ the first three games of the series.

I hate that this loss will continue the absurd narrative around Giannis to lessen his legacy. Giannis is really a co-1 with Jokic but he will continue to be hated on.

Yeah I wish halitosis would have swung on him then Gianni’s would’ve been justified

I hope GA won’t be traded. If he wants to leave, I will be sad. Actually the best plan was to trade Dame after getting team got knocked out. To get a rebuild around Giannis. Dame injury spoiled the future of the team

Don't know why anyone not directly involved with the team would even be allowed on the court. Being the dad of a player doesn't count.

So no Giannis presser? I watched twenty minutes of Novak reflecting on the season for nothing?

We were unlucky at the end. And our complete inability to have any kind of poa defense killed us

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


Haliburton's dad is as bad of a person as he is bad at refereeing.
