Not likely. Lakers didn't get one year before either. Physical media is dead.

I understand it but it still sucks.

Still can’t believe we came back from TWO 0-2 series deficits in the same playoffs.

I for one thought we were done during game 4 vs Brooklyn and after game 5 for sure.

I thought Phoenix was miles better than us after game 2.

I’ll never doubt this team again.

Hell, after Nets game 3 I partied hard cause I thought it was the last home game I would go to (son's baptism was game 4). I saw nothing after game 3 that made me think we could win the series

Game 3 was my low point as a Bucks fan.

My low point was one of those times when Anthony Mason pounded his dribble for 19 seconds backing his man down .....

What’s mind boggling is how Portis was riding the pine most of the Brooklyn series, I know he played a bit nervous in his minutes game 4 of that series but aside from that he was a big enough part of the team to get some time the last three games. Worked out in the end I guess.

Low point as a bucks fan is interesting.

For me probably the Maggette/SJax/Monta trio of dead for Warriors cast offs.

Or when we refused to trade Redd for the Raef Lafrentz expiring contract and he almost immediately blew out his ACL again.

Tobes for Reddick for me. Easy

Thought about the March-April period of 2013 being the low point for me. Skiles had been **** canned (or "mutually parted ways", whatever), forced to watch the Swag twins chuck us to a 12-19 record after the ASB, the disastrous Tobes trade at the deadline, then of course, getting swept out of a postseason we had no business being in with a 38-44 record.

But ultimately, it's gotta be that 2006-2008 period sandwiched between the Bogut draft and FTD. The back-to-back picks of Yi and Potsie damn near broke me, then throw in the Redd ACL injury, the luster already wearing off Bogut, and ultimate realization he was never living up to the hype. The R-Jeff 1-year rental was just weird and unnecessary. Larry **** K....

It was truly the darkest timeline.

I think one of the funniest things we ever did was bring back Delfino after the Rockets waived him with a broken foot and he just took his bum foot to an Argentinian beach and we literally never saw him again.

One of the biggest head scratchers of all time.

I'm out here saying, Game 3 was my low point in terms of a single game reaction and y'all bringing up whole eras of darkness, lol. Maybe I should have clarified.

For me it was definitely the Maggette/S Jax / Drew Gooden year(s). I remember Gooden being the worst defender at PF I’ve ever seen. That signing boggled me.

Maggette came in hyped but was a washed former all star who couldn’t do anything in his time here.

It felt like those were the only kind of players we’d ever get in Milwaukee.

Thank Hammond for drafting Giannis and trading for Midds, and then messing up enough to get fired and letting Horst/Bud eventually take the team to the top of the mountain.

2002 collapse for me - being the 1 seed in March and then missing the playoffs couldn't be more Milwaukee (of old).

That's a good one. Feels like I was saying "There's no way we miss the playoffs, we only need 3 more wins" for like 2 months.

The Delfino timeline gets even more twisted after that, everyone assumed that he forgot to announce his retirement due to the broken foot, but 4 years later, in the ripe age of 35 he started playing again, stayed 1 more season out at 37 and then started playing again in another mediocre Italian league team.

Low point for me was the Kareem trade. Bucks got a lot back in return, but I knew it meant the end of championships for a long time.

Low point was that s.o.b Charlie Bell lying about a pizza party for us.

Thought it was going to be Game 4 vs. Atlanta last year. It's one thing to suck and do dumb stuff, but when things finally come together and then all of us sudden the rug gets ripped out from under you - that's the worst. See: Bogut, Andrew.

midranger · Post #2059 » by **midranger** » Sat Dec 18, 2021 5:10 am

I vaguely remember an Uber head scratching move involving Salom Stoudamire and a guaranteed multi-year late season deal rather than a ten day to secure bird rights or something for the following season. I don’t believe he ever played a minute for us.

The Bogut pick was not ideal, but after Gadz got his nice contract the trade for Magloire was really weird. But hey, the Bucks traded for an allstar...
