I’m honestly at peace.

Last year I was pissed but this one feels different. We were better than the Heat but the long layoff killed us, along with not making the necessary adjustments until we were down 3-0.

im not entirely sure we need a roster overhaul or a new coach. but we absolutely need giannis to explore half court scoring options. whether that be a post game, a 3 point shot, a mid range game, or flailing around like james harden and making his free throws, he has to get better in the half court.

Bad: Bucks season is over and winter is going to be longer because it may not start again until FEB!

Good: I made enough money betting to buy the new XBOX when it comes out.

I know I keep harping on it, but honest to god, I am not letting the laissez-faire attitude to the bubble slide. We didn't take this **** seriously and it **** pisses me off.

Kinda had a feeling it might end this way after the Lakers loss followed by the Suns back in March.

Let's go Nuggets.

Usually you'd say there's always next year. But is there?

Massive respect to Wes Matthews. If only Bud was an elite coach, Butler would be averaging 15 this series and the Bucks would still be contesting this series.

Too bad he is not Spoelstra, Stevens, or Nurse (or basically anyone else who watches basketball and recognizes the obvious).

Yeah, Giannis can make it all better by announcing he is signing the supermax.

The Bucks got a huge disadvantage after the restart between losing chemistry, no HCA, old guys getting older, distracted by Wisconsin events, etc. That said, it was a cool experience being in the bubble and hats off to the heat who earned it even though they are a bunch of a-holes.

We installed all of these counters all season with our 5 out motion. The Lopez post ups, the Middleton midrange game, Giannis at the 5. Then when push came to shove, we got Giannis isos at the top of the arc. I still don't understand what the **** Bud was doing.

We had double digit leads in at least 2 games and led inside 5 in others. That we're not heading to the conference finals right now is an indictment on a bunch of dudes.

Best defense in the league finally showed up. Unfortunately it came on the night where we bricked too many good shots to pull out the win. Middleton and Bled shot 3/13 from three. 9/33 as a team.

Bledsoe 2/12
Middleton 8/25 6 TO

defense was good but when your two best available players play like that not much to hope.

to be honest I am used to playoff Bledsoe and Middleton fades often against good defenses
