2025 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 1 - Bucks at Pacers - 4/19/25 - Noon - ESPN/FDSWI

[RiotPunch]

Let Doc hit the links and have Prunt dawg get us back into the game.

Isn't it crazy how he keeps openly talking about wanting to catch the next golfing event on tv instead of coaching games? It's telling he's mailing it in, in job performance and p.r.

In case any of the Rivers children peruse the board, Father's Day is right around the corner:

Owners got the firing itch this year. Harlem could take it up a notch by firing Doc at the half

[rilamann]

Only one half but quite shocking the team a lot of us hate watched throughout the year would no show in their first playoff game.

Yeah, the team that only gave solid effort in like 5 games all season laid an egg in the first half of their first playoff game?

I'm shocked....lol.

[Bucksmaniac]

Well I’m doing what our own coach wants to do in the 2nd half, watching golf.

If we're relying on some sort of uprising in Harlem for a lift we're truly ****.

[bucksfansince88]

Bet doc trots out same lineup and fails to adjust the rest of the way! Please fire doc “let’s get the F outta here” rivers asap!

[jakecronus8]

Every shot they take feels like an inevitable make. Every make we get feels like a miracle.

[TheNewEra]

Why is Doc playing these guys so much? Rollins-Lopez-Kuzma-Prince should of played 5 mins most in the first half

Because he's the dumbest coach in basketball lol. It literally is that simple. This has been an ongoing topic on this board for weeks and literally only Doc doesn't seem to grasp it's an atrocious lineup.

I always thought people were hating on doc when he first got here because I got fooled by his smooth talking. He is legit terrible, no question

Doc truly is a plague to coaching and it’s infuriating he will go into the HOF. He can build an underdog team with no expectations like no other and that should have been his coaching card. He keeps getting teams eager to win and he sucks.

Dealt with Doc for 2 eras in LAC and i still have nightmares about the guys and his current lackeys GM Lawerence Frank

[TroyD92]

I've watched like 1 entire game this year. It was all I needed to see lol. Trading for Kuzma was the cherry on top.

[AntetokounmBros]

Win or lose, just get some kind of confidence going this 2nd half.

[Chad34]

How are they going to get rid of Kuzma in the offseason, dude is useless, the numbers with Washington weren’t fake

[German Athens]

I do think we were like 1 or 2 Bobby made wide open threes of his 4 clean looks from being tied with them early in the 2nd, but those were all misses and the onslaught continued.

[rilamann]

Owners got the firing itch this year. Harlem could take it up a notch by firing Doc at the half

Bucks could get swept and they're not going to fire Doc.

If Doc was getting fired they would have already done it by now.

[PG Graveyard]

Those back 2 back missed corner 3s by Portis along with a live ball turnover were killers.

[nagawicka]

Our bench lineup wasn't any better than our starters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They were definitely slightly better, but not better enough. Which is part of why putting a lineup out there that always requires you to be so much better is a problem.

That's the case with every lineup every team puts out there. Not seeing a point.

[tsamo]

Bench Lopez and Kuzma while having minutes restriction on Bobby.
Play everyone else bigger minutes and hope they slow down a bit from three.

[Prez]

The saddest part is when we lose this series, even if Doc gets fired in the offseason, I could see them replacing him with Ham, who also sucks and also has an explicable love affair with Prince.

[jimmybones]

Same lineup

[MickeyDavis]

Ham would be as bad as Doc.

[German Athens]

Man, just remove brook from the game.
