PG - Bucks Come Up Short in Game 5

[MissKhriddleton]

What did Bam shoot on jumpers this series? 80%? 90%?

Not even disappointed with the loss tonight, the team put up a better effort than I expected. The game 3 loss was when the season ended, that was the most difficult one.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm fearful I'll have nightmares about game 3 vs Toronto for the rest of my life.

I will give Bledsoe credit for once again being disruptive defensively. Offensively, it was as bad a game as a PG can play. Even when he was able to get the pass to a teammate, it was so off target the shooter had no chance. He absolutely must be moved in the offseason.

Think there's a 0% chance that Giannis is not in a Bucks uniform next year, but also a 0% chance that he signs the supermax. It's bad business after the terrible year the league is going to experience revenue wise. Horst, you get one more shot.

Guys who need to go/will be gone:
Korver
Connaughton
Bledsoe
Marvin
RoLo
Ersan
Sterling

Guys who will definitely be back:
Giannis
Middleton
DDV
Lopez

Up in the air:
Hill (think he retires) -
Thanny (probably keep him for Giannis but eh?)
Wes (maybe opts in)
Mason (takes Hill's spot?)
Wilson (can you even get rid of him?)

Rolo, Wilson, Thanny are back due to his guaranteed deals (unless a throw in for a trade). Turns out giving away millions to brothers will hurt your cap.

Hill? No way in hell he walks away from $10m. He had 2 opportunities to walk away this summer and chose to keep playing.

If there’s still protests going on at the start of next season we should cut him.

Let's go Nuggets.

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

Yeah, I have it at a 30% chance lockout, 40% Giannis refuses to sign super max and 30% chance we even come back with a similar team.

I feel like you're understating the total breakdown of the social order and like 2021 is the year where there is always a hurricane or something.

Hurricane Durant?

The worst thing about these playoffs is that we learned nothing new. We already knew from last year that Bled sucks, that Midds is just a good player but not a no2 for a championship team, that Bud doesn't adapt, that Giannis can't score against triple teams.

We just lost a valuable year for nothing.

he had 9 assists, so presumably not all his passes were that bad.

as contructed this team wins 50 without giannis. anybody taIking about a rebuiId needs to start with that premise

I still think that would have been true this year, given of course they played 82 games. Next year I don't think so. And not just because they definitely will not play 82 games.

Not with Bud as coach. Maybe a coach who gets off his butt and actually runs offensive plays.

[skones]

Wes has been great all year, and I'd love to bring him back with a better player than him off the bench to take all of Korver's and Pat's minutes. We need guys who are smart AND physically capable. One or the other ain't enough.

Chris Paul obviously. Otto Porter's health going into this next season is interesting to me given how it probably drives his value down to a simple salary match. Jeff Teague becomes interesting with a portion of the MLE if Bud stays. Honestly, Snell on a super cheap vet deal is interesting in lieu of Pat. Forbes as a sparkplug.

i think we need and a superstar vet thats over his prime but can taIk to giannis. this team needs a oscar. middetpon is a dandridge. trading him doesnt soIve a damn thing. we need the stabiizIer and a piayer that can get in giannis griII when he does idiot stuff

It feels like he didn’t miss a FT either.

[jerrod]

Different series, different match-ups. .

I was yelling for ersan too, but I really thought that a few of those baby hooks from rolo would have been nice.

[LedZepp007]

No to Chris Paul. Just no.

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.

A Kobe led team isn’t forfeiting a playoff game

An MJ led playoff team isn’t forfeiting a playoff game.

You can approve of the decision to walk off the court in game 5 against Orlando. But it tells you the organization wasn’t entirely focused on winning the title. This team was way too full of themselves and couldn’t deal with the distractions (or lack of them) in the bubble.

[SupremeHustle]

Look who finally decided to show up. Just as the optimists lose yet again.

I was basically screaming my hatred of Kyle Korver into the abyss on Facebook when I was reminded that you guys night actually respond.

Well yeah we've been here the whole time. Don't know why you decided to become a snobby **** and stop posting. Oh, I have a life now. Don't give me that bullshit excuse.

Having a life doesn't stop me!

[Matches Malone]

This team needs more than just Chris Paul to get to the next level. And knowing our luck, Paul will completely fall off if he comes here.

unfortunately snell has a player option.....

[Thunder Muscle]

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.

Same here. Last year I was depressed for awhile. This year I checked out once it was shut down for a month plus and there wasn't going to be home games. I was honestly hoping for nba to not return and I don't feel any different today.

Unsurprisingly there were quite a few challenging what you stated.

This year has been further affirmation that there are many issues with the Bucks, and that they will not be resolved on their own.
