There, you guys can stop complaining.

Too little too late in all likelihood though. I have no idea what they'll look like mentally. 1st they have to dig out of holes in game, now out.

5 pm tip time (6 there) is straight cray.

"Listen Horts,"
"It's Horst."
"Listen Horse. If you don't find a way to turn Middleton into Kuzma by the deadline you won't be getting an extension."
"But that's a terrible idea, for one..."
"Nay, nay nay, that's what I expect a horse to say. If you want to keep your job, you're going to have to be more of a Yes-Man."
"...Yes, sir. ...Kuzma it is..."
"And you have to start him."
"Excuse me?"
"You have to start Kuzma."
"..."
"..."
"Yes, sir..."

The playoffs are all about setting a tone and coming out strong. The fact that Doc is still starting multiple guys who shouldn't be playing more than 15 minutes a game in this series is next level insane.

Doc has put us behind the eight ball in every 1st quarter of this series.

Right? When we signed Doc, I certainly wasn't thrilled, I didn't expect great things, and yet, I've been greatly disappointed.

Took Doc until potentially the last game of the year to do the smart thing. Actual POS

Hilarious that it took us being on the brink of elimination for him to make a significant lineup change.

Finally doing this now is somehow more insulting.

Quite possibly their spirit is broken enough that this starting unit doesn’t perform well and he is basically going to use that as ammo that the original starting unit was fine.

This group has the 2nd best defensive rating of any 5 man lineup in the playoffs, at 84.8

Doc is going to do make the changes he’s been stubborn/afraid too, we ended the season on an 8 game win streak without Dame and sims, and Giannis will never give up, so neither will I as long as he’s on the team. Let’s shock the world, bucks in 7 is the new motto

First part accomplished, I believe this team rally’s and we still have the best player, Bucks in 7, believe it!

this is like knowing this super hot girl whose right there waiting for you to bust a move..... but instead you let your buddy marry her, have 3 kids, and pay off a house before you decide maybe you should go for it
