Caruso being a vocal leader in the locker room lol I did not expect that. Love to see it.

Vocal leader on the floor too. I think people really overlook how much Grayson Allen breaking his wrist derailed the season for us.

He scored 40pts in just 3 quarters a week ago and it was a blowout win for us anyway.
As long as he is not getting in the FT line we are doing our job.

It didn't worked the 1st game despite out team playing like crap.
It barelly worked the 2nd game despite our team playing again like crap.

Our defense is fine. Our offense and especially Jrue need to wake up. It's even more important now without Khris Middleton.

You can keep blaming it on "our team playing like crap" until it keeps happening and you have to accept it's just your team playing.

It's happening each season. We are very slow starters in a series. We have problems in the 1-2 games and as the series continues we get better and better mainly because Coach Bud gets outcoached and he is too slow to adjust.

Looking forward to the adjustments in Chicago... where Giannis doesn't have home court referees. :nod:

Goes without saying but the Lonzo injury really hurts too

Watching him all year doesn’t shock me at all. He is the reason the Bulls came out the gate strong. Did anyone expect that from him? No but he truly does have that lionheart.

Brooklyn

Itll be US next round buddy. And we remember that last series.....except our point guard wont quit on us mid series like last time

I like how that's the hindsight narrative now. The Bucks simply started switching after game 1 (when Paul Pierce declared the series was over). And then Giannis did the rest.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. These are the types of shots he’s been hitting all season long. If I hadn’t seen him so closely this year, I also would have your take. This is just how he plays.

So like going 0-500 or whatever against top teams?

The dude has his elbows out in front of him every time he drives. That’s all he does. Offensive foul every mf time, it’s hard to watch. Not to mention he travels half the time too

He's like an NFL running back. I feel like I'm watching Derrick Henry barrel into opposing d-lines....or Jerome Bettis if anyone remembers him.

Just plowing into dudes....and then getting the call.

I've been saying this the past years.. somehow Giannis gets away with this crap all the time, and I have no idea how. The fouls he was getting against the Raptors during their 2019 championship run was ridiculous.

bucks are still massively favored. giannis legacy will be tainted for sure for not getting to at least ECF even considering without KM.
if giannis is half as competitive as MJ he wont repeatedly get beaten up by a role player.

First round yeh, second round no.

They're up against likely the Celtics who are championship contenders.

MIL would be better not to have close games, b/c KM was only one who could constantly create own shot and was by far the best closer.

The Bucks’ mentality going to the playoffs looks weak. Playing down, underestimating their opponents, might backfire on them. I thought they would learn from that awful game 1. A lot of their fans act like their team are world beaters just because they are defending. If Middleton can’ get back, i won’t be surprised if the bulls beat them. Probably better off facing the nets. At least they would definitely won’t relax against them.

Statlanta · Post #1179 » by **Statlanta** » Thu Apr 21, 2022 8:52 am

I don't hate the Bucks or Giannis(bought his jersey from a Raptors RealGM user) but I'm really hoping the Bulls and Pelicans prove how much a fluke last year was just like the bubble was.
