Just leaving this out there. Giannis isn't done in MKE, and IMO the FO sure as hell isn't either with him.

I followed the Bucks all season and the final month and a half of the season I wanted no part of the Pacers in the first round. So I can't say I am surprised at the outcome.

But at the end of the day, it's still kind of crazy to me that a team with prime Giannis lost 4-1 to a #4 seed Pacers team, a good team, but a team that is nothing special.

And 3 of the 5 games weren't even competitive. I could see losing 4-1 and 3 of the 5 games not being competitive if we were playing some 60+ juggernaut. Crazy.

Hali's dad's biggest sin is still not raising his son to be a Bucks' fan. It's a microcosm.

Was just watching highlights on TNT and they showed Haliburton jumping onto the scorers table.

Bro, you beat a lower seed, without their second allstar in 3 of the 5 games, and a coach that couldn’t coach himself out of a paper bag. Like seriously, lmao. I know it’s not the same but got some serious 2022 Beverly play-in celebration vibes there.

Gotta say, the Giannis YOLO ISO baseline fadeaway while Dairy was wide open felt eerily similar to Aaron ignoring wide open Lazard to force it to Davante in double coverage.

I get trusting yourself, trusting your best player, etc. But I'd bet Dairy buries it.

I don't know what to tell you if you don't think you'd be celebrating clinching the series with one of the most improbable comebacks of all time.

All he had to do was make the right play and pass to AJ and we’re feeling good about game 6 back in Milwaukee. Giannis has to hold himself accountable and look in the mirror too. Bucks have done everything he’s asked of them to a fault even. That said, I’m signing Thanasis and Kostas to keep appeasing him and ease the burn of firing Doc who he apparently “likes working with”

Is this real, bro?

I don't think so. earlier in the series he implied we should get credit for making the playoffs after a 2-8 start


This is an actual Doc quote:

"I don't get enough credit for getting the three wins," Rivers recently told Andscape. "I get credit for losing. I always say, 'What if we had lost to Houston in six? ' No one cares.
Amos Barshad: "So you got a job, a place to live, a license? What’s left?"

Giannis: “Nothing. Just get a ring now.”

If I walked on the court and taunted an opposing player after a win, I would be banned for life from attending games

Depends. Would you have a custom made towel with Hali’s face on it, too?

If you ever come over, you will find nothing but custom made Riot towels in the bathrooms. Really high quality stuff you can get these days. Glad I had those shipped in before the tariffs.

I've been hard on Justin Garcia over the years for being such a poster child company man. I feel for him more now, dealing with the half r worded casual callers he has to deal with. Just brutal. I appreciate all of you basketball sickos.

It's wild. In videos, there's criticism of giannis, there's comments of him being overrated, followed by fans of more than half the league excited or begging giannis to join their team.

If hes so overrated, why is everyone dying to bring him to their team.

Note to self, no more watching highlights and reading comments.

The most important thing IMO:

Giannis didnt get injury. His value will be very very high.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
