If Harden continues to play and we take 6, that plays into us. We were there. We can still be there.

Honestly after this season, I'm all for converting Giannis into a pure big man. Just remove that start at the 3pt line and try to attack the basket. Theoretically its good but Giannis IQ isn't high enough to run it. Giannis can do that kind of stuff in transition but in halfcourt, he should have his ass in the paint at ALL times

Wife and I are going to game 6. It will be lit. But you just can’t help thinking it’s over.

Shaq giggling about Bud's presser. Dying to know why, lol.

improved rebounding for one. I didn't bother looking at the stats. maybe you should.

What do stats say about what was added to his game? Lol

so if someone does something better, that's not improving? It's in the freaking definition:
improve | imˈpro͞ov |
verb
make or become better.

He averaged one more rebound and also shot .1% worse. I'd call that a push unless you got some other stats to lay on me. He's still a poor fundamental player and hasn't added much if anything to his offensive skillset. which was my original point, but whatever

[chonestown]

The national media won't talk about it, but the Bucks really put the clamps on Harden.

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

RGM house style is to indicate sarcasm with green text.

Idiot.

one Iast thing... oddIy Iopez is the onIy starter with a positive on/off. wouIdnt have guessed that

[MrHoneycutt]

I never thought I’d wish for Giannis to be a little more Ben Simmons and develop a health fear and aversion to shooting jumpers, yet here we are.

It's literally right in the bread basket. It could not be a better pass and there are no hands swiping either. Just unbelievable.

Giannis should have caught the pass of course, but also Khris should have taken the layup.

Jeff Green left his feet, Middleton made the right play. Giannis just duffed it. That's an absolute dunk if he catches it clean.

Giannis shoulders are squared in perfect position to catch a pass.

I don't think Khris could predict Giannis two time MVP who could catch a 3 foot pass and dunk this in his sleep would make a rookie mistake and start moving before he catches the ball like some rookie wr and just completely whiff.

Jeff's in the air, Giannis can dunk and draw contact and take the lead on a 3pt play.

That's how an epic MVP would finish off that play.

Yet instead we get an epic fail.

Such a bucks finish.

This is dumb but the fact it's even being said says more about us than him.

lol I love how playing a full basketball game and then having a full day off before having to play the following night is made out to be some all time physical exertion for guys who have played basketball nonstop since they were teenagers. Reggie acting like Durant playing 48 minutes Tuesday night and then another game on Thursday night is comparable to those absurd MMA promotions that have guys fight multiple fights in one night or something.

Last postseason people wondered why Giannis did not guard Butler in the Bucks' loss to Miami.
This postseason Giannis guards Butler. The Bucks win.

This postseason people wonder why Giannis did not guard KD in the Bucks' losses to the Nets.
Next postseason _____ guards _______. The Bucks ______.

(Try to fill in the blanks).

It is fine. Next postseason, as usual, the Bucks' coaching staff will adapt to what is happening this postseason. It is not that they do not adapt, it just takes a year or so.

Im still hoping for Jrue to give us one of those games like he did a few years ago when he dominated Dame and was unstoppable on offense. Dude turned into Bledsoe in the 4th

Honestly after this season, I'm all for converting Giannis into a pure big man. Just remove that start at the 3pt line and try to attack from half court. Giannis can do that kind of stuff in transition but in halfcourt, he should have his ass in the paint at ALL times

Is there a Utah assistant HC candidate? Make him watch Gobert film all day long and copy it. Combine that with being the best open court player in the league and you're still an MVP candidate scoring 25+. But best part is it's replicable in the playoffs. somehow Gobert does this all night long and doesn't get 6 charges a game or fouls out often.

[ABucksFan]

Just reminded myself and want to remind everyone its just a game and them losing really has no effect on our lives. They dont pay us or provide us a living. Im upset but just wanted to put things in perspective.

[neiLz]

Man media going off on bucks... Normally in a game like this you can pick out one or two things. Theres multiple things they're hammering the bucks on (leaving brook in and running the drop, Giannis fadeaways, Giannis drops, not doubling kd, leaving Jeff green, not posting James harden, Jesus Christ.

[0BobLobLaw0]

That Giannis bobbled pass is the 2021 version of the 2001 Big Dog 8 foot jumper that rimmed out.
