PG: Nets Edge Out Bucks in Game 2

Brewhoopfan · Post #101 » by **Brewhoopfan** » Tue Jun 8, 2021 2:37 am

Just got home to watch. 3 minutes in I see Giannis hesitate on one end and then clank the fall away, then Durant embarrasses Giannis at the other end with an and-1. Game over. Fast forward to see the final score. Best decision I've ever made.

We all know this team too well now that I think there aren't even any optimists spitting out hope?

Pat Connaughton needs to hang some Bruce Brown posters in his dorm room.

Who is our Norman Powell to turn the series? I would say Nwora is our best shot. Not sure if his injury is legit or not.

Ideally, I'd start Nwora (if healthy) for PJ Tucker and run more plays for Forbes in Game 3.

We need more offense and the more firepower the better.

That works too.

Also would work: We don't have prime MJ and Kobe on our team.

Basically, there's no chance in hell we're coming back from this.

We’re done. One early run from them next game & we’re goners.

Can't wait to hear what Justin Garcia has to say, after telling me how stupid I've been all this time.

I can’t believe I got suckered into believing we had a chance against this team. Everything was looking fine and dandy in game 1 after Harden went out and we went on that run. Things were good.

Now I’m torn between hoping Bud finds his inner Nick Nurse the rest of the way (he won’t) and Khris playing like a near max player… or hoping Bud gets canned and… what can we even do? Ugh.

I was informed KD is a beta cuck loser, is that better than the beta that Giannis apparently is?

I'm so confused guys.

Welcome to the small market treadmill. It lasts about 12 years. Think Cleveland when they first got James... Minny when they first got KG... the Griz with Pau Gasol and on and on. No great FA is coming. We have nothing to trade. We will be be picking late for years to come. May as well try and pull a Toronto and trade everything for a 3 month star rental (think Kawhi) and then go from there. We are stuck with no way out. Need a miracle.

The apathetic Giannis performances really bring out the Joe Rogan fans.

My offseason wishlist is a new coach that realizes and has the balls to play Giannis off the ball. Giannis is not a pg, he’s not a jump shooter. Start the center Giannis era and find a better offensive playmaking guard and add shooters.

Yep. And he wouldn't have nothing to complain about, he's the one still spending most of his time building even more muscle instead of working on the things he actually tries to do on the floor. Eventually he will turn himself into Valanciunas, that's where he's headed LOL

If the Clippers lose I could see something around a PG/Midds deal.

The Bucks panic move is Mids for Kristap.

Brooklyn was 22nd in D rating this year. I expected them to put points on us but the most surprising part of all this is how inept we are at scoring against their D - particularly when they’re rolling out a C rotation of Griffin/KD/Claxton.

Wait for Giannis to ask first for a trade to a superteam in order to win his first title to call him a beta. Until then he is just a fool and not enough and he will keep trying to win for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Brooklyn might romp through the rest of the league from here. It could be they’re just 2018 Warriors level much better than every other team.

But yeah, we’re cooked. It’s hard to see us turning it around here. So much is going wrong that I’m not sure you can fix it in one game.

Somehow the Bucks have found a way to get Blake f’in Griffin one more decent chunk of money.

I see Adam Silver was at the game tonight.
