Bulls gotta be kicking themselves for this one. 10/33 for Middleton and Holiday. Giannis with 5 fouls. The Bucks under 100 and still an L.

Vucevic and Derozan needed 27 and 25 shots and combined 11 FT's to get to 24 and 18 points each. Lmao, that's brutal..

We really, reaaaally miss Lonzo
He and Caruso got us so many fastbreak buckets by playing the lanes and just swarming the ever-loving sh%# out of post players

I don’t mean to pile on but 18 points off of 25 shots is pretty abysmal

You had this game in the palm of your hands to win and constant error after error, bad shot or bad misses by the bulls

Bucks had 9 turnovers in the 4th. Giannis played like 5 mins of the quarter and they still won the 4th :lol: :lol:

So you're also counting on Middleton shooting 4/13 every game while committing 7 turnovers.

This goes both ways, both teams stank, but Giannis is Giannis.

Lonzo going out really screwed you guys. The glue guy on offense and probably the best (or at least most versatile) perimeter defender on the team. Triggered the fast break too.

Really unfortunate.

derozan is basically net negative player. doesnt play defense, doesnt shoot 3s. when his midrange isnt on and shooting 30% like he does in playoffs, its better to dnp him. hes worth minimum.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

The Caruso sub in the 4th was the momentum killer .
Billy has been questionable all season long , kinda flakey with rotations . Hopefully he grows up after this series .
Yes Zach and Demar can be better . Zach has been a different guy since the pointguard position has been in flux .

Middleton is lucky Demar stole the spotlight and the bucks won this game. He was garbage
