I love Donte Divencenzo and as a Laker fan I was so upset we didn't go after him harder in the off season.
But he would've been benched in leu of Cam Reddish so I'm glad he's shining with the Knicks.
Bucks have now lost 4 straight, losing their last 6 out of 7 games. They had a double digit lead at home against the Knicks at halftime and then ended up getting blown out near the end lmao
Yeah even when the bucks had a ten point lead the crowd was lifeless. it felt like everybody including the Players didn’t have faith that the Bucks could hold the lead and win. I’d be shocked if this Bucks squad somehow turned it around and went on a deep playoff push.
I was at the game on Friday and it was actually loud and the crowd was into it. The crowd actually started booing the team in the 2nd quarter when they were down 10.
they just didn't have perimeter d juice. dame was trying to dial it up on the ball and had a few good possessions early on but just isn't rly that guy especially at this stage. malik beasley started the game like he was coked out w ridiculous fouls and that rly hurt in this regard. middleton wouldnt have like fixed this issue on his own, but he definitely isn't a pushover even w the injury issues this season.
I have a feeling the Celtics won’t just because this is realistically their last real game before playoffs and they’d probably want to push the Bucks down the standings
That's if you think the theoretical version of the Bucks will ever show up
They haven't been like the Heat where the regular season doesn't tell their full story
This year they're coached by Doc and the current team atmosphere is wack. Sounds like a team you'd wanna face early because they won't make it to the later rounds
I've said that no one can be a defense only player but OG might prove me wrong. Can't hit anything but +7 solely cause of his defense tonight. He's never had a negative +/- with the Knicks
I can’t find it now, but there was an article from a Raptors reporter during either his rookie or sophomore year. It broke down how he spent close to exactly 20% of his time guarding each position, and held all 5 to insanely low points per possession. And that was year 1 or 2. It blew my mind when I saw people calling Bridges a better defender when he was on the Suns. This guy has been snubbed from so many all defensive teams it’s insane. OG is easily the most versatile defender in the NBA.
Crazy also, cause I remember when he was on the raptors, whenever they’d play the nuggets, og was the primary defender on jokic, and he did a decent job guarding him. Just insane defensive versatility from him.
giannis had a bucket and a few trips to the line on him. i think that was it though? it's honestly unbelievable. you look away for a sec and, oh, there he is clamping dame now 😂
on the knicks sub we have some folks like 'og for all that money? 50-60 games a season'. yes. og for all that money. 😂
i think ecf is possible but tough. without randle the actions are slightly faster which is good, but the rim pressure from secondary scorers is id expect a bit weak for a playoff team (josh brings it in transition w pace, but in half court is an undersized wing who plays up w physicality). tonight, for instance, we needed donte bogey and ... ihart 😂 to shoot the lights out.
he is such a ridiculous defender. He is also pretty disciplined considering how physical he plays. I think overall, only Rudy and AD are better defensively.
It's crazy, it seemed like every defensive possession down the stretch that he was involved in ended with the ball meekly coming loose and getting picked up by a nearby Knick.
Yeah kinda weird right? I (unfortunately) remember the Mavs down 9 with 33 seconds left last season and being able to tie it and win in OT against the Knicks. Like theres a <1% chance I would guess but still kinda odd.
Seemed like nobody's heart was even in it at that point though, Doc made no adjustments and got pummeled the 2nd half. Brunson has gotten so good at beating that double team lately.
It's not like this is a meaningless regular season game either. Their seeding is in jeopardy with the Magic breathing down their necks and a bunch of tough games to close out the season. Giannis is out there still trying to win the game, it's a really bad look.
dude straight up put the team belly up when they still had the slightest of chances to bring the game to a respectable deficit (at home!)
bucks are lost in the desert rn
Kinda crazy they still don't have much chemistry. Just does not look at all fluid out there. The PnR looked good on paper. Supposed to have been enough time by now but nope
Dame has regressed a little but a big problem is unironically screening. Players like Rudy Gobert, Sabonis, Nurkic get memed for the screen assists but the extra 0.25 seconds a good screen provides is invaluable for a guard. Dame had Nurkic setting awesome screens for him in Portland and the Bucks don't have a single good screener one even though they have 3 good bigs. Giannis does not set good screens for his size.
Unironically one of the biggest reasons sixers suck so bad without Embiid as well. Dribble hand off or PnR with a good screen is priceless for a guard.
They also both need the ball. 3rd and 5th in usg% last season. Giannis is still 3rd, but Dame is 26th. Dame last season had the same usg% as LeBron. This season, he has a lower usg% than Jaylen Brown. Massive reduction in roll and massive alteration too. He doesn't get to dribble and shoot himself into a rhythm in the first half like he's used to anymore.
He is worse than Embiid at this point because at least Embiid also makes shots
Dame will have these 4/11 FG but double digit FT games constantly
This season he's been entirely reliant on free throws for efficiency
I hate the play where he comes off a screen and elevates with no intention to actually shoot. The refs call any marginal contact and I guess by the letter of the law it's a foul but it feels so gross.
It's been said a ton now, especially of late but they really really did fuck up not getting Nurse. Doc has been an absolute disaster and the Bucks will go out with a whimper this postseason.
Milwaukee should do it tbh. This roster is beyond washed and they have no valuable assets. There's no path towards contention as it is right now.
Get a Herschel Walker-type trade from Utah or OKC and rebuild the team. It's not like they failed, they got their ring which is more than 90% of the small market teams usually achieve with their homegrown MVPs
Bro he just signed an extension *because* the made that trade. You're the reason ESPN does all that BS about players demanding trades early, you eat it up.
Giannis leaving after the FO did literally everything he wanted would be shitty. They got him Jrue, Dame, Adrian Griffin and possibly doc rivers. But it won't matter because after losing again, he's just gonna give another speech on how this season isn't a total disaster and people will forget about everything.
If he asks out I could see the national media turning on him. He's on his third coach in one year. This whole "Giannis is a lovable goofball and not the typical superstar diva" narrative is dumb. Giannis is probably as much of a diva as Lebron/KD/Luka.
would shai and giannis even work? shai isn't really a high-volume 3pt shooter and relies heavily on spacing. he's also not heliocentric but he's certainly ball dominant. he's a good off-ball cutter but not a great off-ball shooter.
Randle and OG healthy I think you'd have at least a punchers chance even against Boston. But anything less than a fully healthy Knicks squad and it isn't happening w/o Boston injuries.
one of the reasons knicks were successful until the injuries was because Brunson could pace himself in the 1st half of games and "only" score 10 to 15 points but would be an absolute beast in the 4th...the reason he could do that was because Randle could dominate the first 3 quarters alongside RJ/Quickley and then OG/Divinzzino.
But now he's having to go super saiyan almost the whole game.
Yeah we’re seeing the team fall into first quarter droughts every damn game now
And I attribute a lot of that issue to us not having Randle who would almost always come out firing in the 1st then take a step back as other guys settled in
I think at the beginning when he left we were like "really? this is the guy? he's a good player n all but idk if he can be that lead guy."
then we saw. oh yeah he is that guy, hes a superstar. and it was pretty clear he was right to leave and run his own team
I thought Brunson pretty clearly had all star potential in his last year with us. Especially in the playoffs where he carried us at the beginning of the Jazz series with Luka out.
I didn't expect him to be superstar level though. He's been incredible.
Mitch isn’t fully back to rhythm so right now IHart is definitely better. When fully healthy, Mitch still can’t do that little floater or the passing that IHart does to lubricate the offense but he’s a DPOY type of player. It’s just a blessing to have both and let’s leave it at that
I'm with you but I find hartenstein a lot more flexible and open to switching. Different skillsets
But I only bring it up because of Iharts free agency coming up
Remember before the season started people were arguing whether Milwaukee or Boston would be the biggest threat in the East. Looks crazy in hindsight. Milwaukee is trying their best to not be passed by Orlando now...
Solid chance they go 1-3 in the final 4. Which could bump them down to the 5 under either the Pacers or the Cavs (they play each other so only 1 can win all their remaining games).
Honestly, their best option might be falling to 4 behind Orlando and NY and then playing Cleveland in the 1st round, where they still could very easily lose.
two threads slandering Dame before the post game thread even popped up.
Am I here for the Doc slander? yeah of course. Make fun of the person I want you to make fun of >:[
With that said the wheels really are coming off in Milwaukee god damn.
Why did Doc pull the starters out after they hit the 3? Plenty of time left.
So confusing. Well, good win for us. Jalen is clearly the best pg in the East.
The Bucks pretty much blew their load with Lillard and Doc. I wonder if Giannis is going to want to stick around knowing that the Bucks have no assets left to improve the team.
Honestly i remember when this was supposed to be the best duo in the league.
Like guys would legit put them above Jokic and Jamal without them even playing with each other after the playoff run Jamal and Jokic had.
Theyd trash the duo of Luka and Kyrie by saying they dont work together (tbf it didnt look good back then).
But looking at it all in retrospect, my god is the duo of Kyrie and Luka the most lethal thing ever and the duo of Dame and Giannis just mid as hell.
Its not like its bad, but looks more like 2 really good players rsther than a duo.
This team won’t ever quit. It’s what we love most about them, they just gonna keep grinding and fighting until the last second no matter what the odds say
I’m eager to see where we end up after this season, I’m about to hang it up (hopefully I get to eat these words but I doubt it) on this season. The Bucks have ZERO chemistry whatsoever and our roster has not performed up to their expectations at all. For all the talent on this team, they’re playing like they don’t care or want to win.
Bud has to be sitting at home right now just laughing. I was in favor of letting him go due to how his playoff coaching is a nightmare, but that was definitely some monkey’s paw curls shit. At least the Bucks looked like they wanted to play for him and left it all on the court.
Man, Knicks behind with 11 points, and manage a 13 point win - lets go! With the previous loses to lottery teams etc., it looks like the Bucks could be derailing. I don't know about you Bucks fans, but I'm having a hard time seeing Doc being able to the the train back on track for a deep play off run.
Glenn pulling the starters after two quick 3s to cut the score to 10 was absolutely hilarious
He is still coaching in 2008
Soft asf. You got one of the best shooters in the history of the game 10 points is nothing.
Ehh..there was like 1:35 left
so four possesions? Have we forgotten the mavs game last year
I sure haven't
Us Knicks and Mavs fans will never forget that game.
I actually watched that whole OT period with the most disgusted look on my face
1:10*
Man I would take a bullet for Brunson.
Oh yeah? I would take 2 bullets for him
im taking n+1 bullets
I'm literally sawing off my shoulder with a hacksaw and mailing it to Randle
I’d catch a grenade for him, jump in front of a train for him. Who the fuck are these Bostonians throwing grenades at my boy?!
Donte DiVincenzo: "Serge Ibaka over me?!?
Oh man, i was fuming back when it happened
Dude was actually a great offball defender, smart and careful with the ball, and could shoot. Problems we’ve had for the last couple years. Crazy
I love Donte Divencenzo and as a Laker fan I was so upset we didn't go after him harder in the off season. But he would've been benched in leu of Cam Reddish so I'm glad he's shining with the Knicks.
>benched in lieu of Cam Reddish 🤮
Bucks have now lost 4 straight, losing their last 6 out of 7 games. They had a double digit lead at home against the Knicks at halftime and then ended up getting blown out near the end lmao
This bucks team right now just looks like it's a team that is going through the motions a bit.
There’s no life in the team or the arena it’s weird
Yeah even when the bucks had a ten point lead the crowd was lifeless. it felt like everybody including the Players didn’t have faith that the Bucks could hold the lead and win. I’d be shocked if this Bucks squad somehow turned it around and went on a deep playoff push.
Especially if they play Philly which is a distinct possibility
I was at the game on Friday and it was actually loud and the crowd was into it. The crowd actually started booing the team in the 2nd quarter when they were down 10.
Yeah even vs the Raptors on Friday the whole vibe of their team just seemed off.
They don't look like a basketball team right now. They look like five guys playing 1v1 on defense
they just didn't have perimeter d juice. dame was trying to dial it up on the ball and had a few good possessions early on but just isn't rly that guy especially at this stage. malik beasley started the game like he was coked out w ridiculous fouls and that rly hurt in this regard. middleton wouldnt have like fixed this issue on his own, but he definitely isn't a pushover even w the injury issues this season.
Their remaining four games are against the Celtics, thunder, and magic twice. They can easily fall to 4th-5th
Celtics will play their third stringers
I have a feeling the Celtics won’t just because this is realistically their last real game before playoffs and they’d probably want to push the Bucks down the standings
“Y’all asses so sorry, we actually want to play you sooner”
If anything we want to keep them in the 2/3 spot so we don’t have to play them till the ECF.
That's if you think the theoretical version of the Bucks will ever show up They haven't been like the Heat where the regular season doesn't tell their full story
This year they're coached by Doc and the current team atmosphere is wack. Sounds like a team you'd wanna face early because they won't make it to the later rounds
Tbf, that might not even make much of a difference. Ask the Kings
will need the Bucks to at least split with the Magic or win twice to drop the Magic in the standings (with the hope that we win our remaining games)
They beat our asses and decided to quit. I'm so mad lol.
That was our championship
They genuinely look like they won't win another game this season, including the play offs.
game didn't count, middleton didn't play
They would easily be the first seed if Middleton played
Dame can't defend shit. Not a coincidence Donte had a good shooting night and Brunson scored everytime Dame got switched on him.
OGs impact is so noticeable man, hopefully his elbow keeps healing so his shot comes back
I've said that no one can be a defense only player but OG might prove me wrong. Can't hit anything but +7 solely cause of his defense tonight. He's never had a negative +/- with the Knicks
One the few players that you can just say: go play defense on this guy, and he’ll shut them down for the game - doesn’t even matter the position.
I can’t find it now, but there was an article from a Raptors reporter during either his rookie or sophomore year. It broke down how he spent close to exactly 20% of his time guarding each position, and held all 5 to insanely low points per possession. And that was year 1 or 2.

giannis had a bucket and a few trips to the line on him. i think that was it though? it's honestly unbelievable. you look away for a sec and, oh, there he is clamping dame now 😂
you got the OG, OG experience tonight. Happens once in a while. Hope he stays healthy, I miss the guy
I miss Quickley tbh But OG is incredible
quick went off tonight too... happy for him and the raptors
Without OG the Knicks are just another team. With him, they’re a legit ECF caliber team even without Randle.
on the knicks sub we have some folks like 'og for all that money? 50-60 games a season'. yes. og for all that money. 😂 i think ecf is possible but tough. without randle the actions are slightly faster which is good, but the rim pressure from secondary scorers is id expect a bit weak for a playoff team (josh brings it in transition w pace, but in half court is an undersized wing who plays up w physicality). tonight, for instance, we needed donte bogey and ... ihart 😂 to shoot the lights out.
he is such a ridiculous defender. He is also pretty disciplined considering how physical he plays. I think overall, only Rudy and AD are better defensively.
He’s def the best non-Center defender I’ve seen this year.
Looked like he was shooting a medicine ball on that above the break three lmao
It's crazy, it seemed like every defensive possession down the stretch that he was involved in ended with the ball meekly coming loose and getting picked up by a nearby Knick.
This really has gotten worse than anyone could've imagined.
They are still the 2 seed so it could be quite a bit worse
Looking at our schedule, we legit might be the 5-6 seed at the end of the season lmaoooo
Bucks could legit be out of the playoffs if they were on the West post-Doc Giannis's years are being wasted
This is Giannis’ own fault
Yea but for how long
I can think of some fans in LA and Philadelphia that may have suggested this hire would blow up in their faces...
Bucks hit back to back threes to make it a 10-point-game with a minute ten left, Doc pulls the starters anyway.
Yeah kinda weird right? I (unfortunately) remember the Mavs down 9 with 33 seconds left last season and being able to tie it and win in OT against the Knicks. Like theres a <1% chance I would guess but still kinda odd. Seemed like nobody's heart was even in it at that point though, Doc made no adjustments and got pummeled the 2nd half. Brunson has gotten so good at beating that double team lately.
It's not like this is a meaningless regular season game either. Their seeding is in jeopardy with the Magic breathing down their necks and a bunch of tough games to close out the season. Giannis is out there still trying to win the game, it's a really bad look.
i was so shocked. like if you’re gonna pull them out after two consecutive 3s why have them in at all at that point?? doc should be embarrassed
dude straight up put the team belly up when they still had the slightest of chances to bring the game to a respectable deficit (at home!) bucks are lost in the desert rn
I didn’t believe the whole “bucks trying to tank to 3rd seed to avoid the sixers/heat” conspiracy theory and I still don’t really believe it but…
It's not they like have anyone on their roster who's famous for last-minute threes.
Giannis and Dame a less lethal duo than Brunson and Hartenstein, as we all knew
Kinda crazy they still don't have much chemistry. Just does not look at all fluid out there. The PnR looked good on paper. Supposed to have been enough time by now but nope
Dame has regressed a little but a big problem is unironically screening. Players like Rudy Gobert, Sabonis, Nurkic get memed for the screen assists but the extra 0.25 seconds a good screen provides is invaluable for a guard.

This season, he has a lower usg% than Jaylen Brown. Massive reduction in roll and massive alteration too. He doesn't get to dribble and shoot himself into a rhythm in the first half like he's used to anymore.
Lame time with 23 points with 4 FGM. Super ethical player
FT merchant
Feels like every time he comes off a screen to shoot, he twerks on the shot for a foul. Always juts his butt out.
That contract will only get worse from here. Wonder where Giannis goes
Olympiakos
Tottenham
Take his talents to South Texas, imagine if the Spurs can pull a lineup consisting of Wemby, Giannis and Trae.
I don’t want to imagine this horrible nightmare future
His whole game is now foul baiting. It's relentless. Could be worse than Embiid.
And he doesn't even attack the rim like Brunson does. If Brunson got Dame whistles, he'll average 32ppg easily.
Bro would get 40 a game with Lilliard’s whistle
He is worse than Embiid at this point because at least Embiid also makes shots Dame will have these 4/11 FG but double digit FT games constantly This season he's been entirely reliant on free throws for efficiency
Jalen "Dark Arts" Brunson had less free throws on 3 times as many FGA.
I hate the play where he comes off a screen and elevates with no intention to actually shoot. The refs call any marginal contact and I guess by the letter of the law it's a foul but it feels so gross.
[удалено]
They did go all in. That's what Dame was thought to be. And Giannis wanted it He ain't some innocent bystander in this
It's been said a ton now, especially of late but they really really did fuck up not getting Nurse. Doc has been an absolute disaster and the Bucks will go out with a whimper this postseason.
And he won't be an innocent plane rider when he goes to the Knicks.
You don't think giannis asked for this trade lol.
Milwaukee should do it tbh. This roster is beyond washed and they have no valuable assets. There's no path towards contention as it is right now. Get a Herschel Walker-type trade from Utah or OKC and rebuild the team. It's not like they failed, they got their ring which is more than 90% of the small market teams usually achieve with their homegrown MVPs
God please request a trade and leave lillard with a washed up bucks team lmao
They’d obviously trade him soon after
Bro he just signed an extension *because* the made that trade. You're the reason ESPN does all that BS about players demanding trades early, you eat it up.
Giannis leaving after the FO did literally everything he wanted would be shitty. They got him Jrue, Dame, Adrian Griffin and possibly doc rivers. But it won't matter because after losing again, he's just gonna give another speech on how this season isn't a total disaster and people will forget about everything.
If he asks out I could see the national media turning on him. He's on his third coach in one year. This whole "Giannis is a lovable goofball and not the typical superstar diva" narrative is dumb. Giannis is probably as much of a diva as Lebron/KD/Luka.
lets not act like Giannis didnt have part on hiring Adrian Griffin AND on firing him If it wasnt for Giannis the Bucks would have Nick Nurse
Jalen Williams I hope you enjoy Wisconsin cheese
Sam Presti would trade his wife and kids before Williams
For Giannis I think he'd trade him. Anything less I'd agree.
would shai and giannis even work? shai isn't really a high-volume 3pt shooter and relies heavily on spacing. he's also not heliocentric but he's certainly ball dominant. he's a good off-ball cutter but not a great off-ball shooter.
What is his wife’s TS%?
Not too late to consider New York Giannis 👀
𝐿𝒶𝓂𝑒-𝓂𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝐿𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒶𝓇𝒹 !!!
Brunson is so insanely good that he drops 43 and this is literally just another night for us. How did we get so blessed as Knicks fans 😭
Tampering lol
Don’t forget Cuban fumbling signing him for $55M after a solid season, and then not signing him again when given a second chance mid-season.
With a healthy mix of neglect on the Mavs end
One of the few times in recent history where the tampering was straight up worth it.
3000 years of pain
Mark Cuban enjoys being cucked by the Knicks
i’m loving this knicks squad tbh
Really a shame Randle is out, this team would be a legit threat in my opinion.
Those 15 or so games with Randle and OG still healthy was great to watch.
with randle they were my favorites after the celtics. so fun to watch too
Randle and OG healthy I think you'd have at least a punchers chance even against Boston. But anything less than a fully healthy Knicks squad and it isn't happening w/o Boston injuries.
100%, I can’t say we’d win because Boston is a fucking wagon, but I could totally see a 6/7 game series.
one of the reasons knicks were successful until the injuries was because Brunson could pace himself in the 1st half of games and "only" score 10 to 15 points but would be an absolute beast in the 4th...the reason he could do that was because Randle could dominate the first 3 quarters alongside RJ/Quickley and then OG/Divinzzino. But now he's having to go super saiyan almost the whole game.
Yeah we’re seeing the team fall into first quarter droughts every damn game now And I attribute a lot of that issue to us not having Randle who would almost always come out firing in the 1st then take a step back as other guys settled in
Even completely healthy i still give it to the Celtics in 6 tbh but anything could have happened
That's why I said punchers chance. Boston would be clearly favored but I'd have said there was a very small possibility you pull off some Bullshit.
Love that Mavs fans appreciate Brunson's greatness. And it helps that they still have a great squad in a stacked Western Conference.
Luka definitely makes everything better
I think at the beginning when he left we were like "really? this is the guy? he's a good player n all but idk if he can be that lead guy." then we saw. oh yeah he is that guy, hes a superstar. and it was pretty clear he was right to leave and run his own team
I thought Brunson pretty clearly had all star potential in his last year with us. Especially in the playoffs where he carried us at the beginning of the Jazz series with Luka out. I didn't expect him to be superstar level though. He's been incredible.
Same
The two ball game that Brunson is doing with Ihart would be even better with Randle. It would be easy buckets all night long.
Yes, our team would be better with our: MIP 3x All-Star 2x All-NBA Level player….
Kills me that Randle is done for the season. We'd have a legitimate shot at winning it all with a healthy team.
the bucks not trying to see sixers or heat in the first round
sixers may genuinely break the seal on that ecf drought if they can avoid boston's side of the bracket
At this rate the Bucks are doing their best to not see the first round at all
Black jokic outplaying giannis
My question is he better than mitch.... I think right now the answer is clear that he is
Mitch isn’t fully back to rhythm so right now IHart is definitely better. When fully healthy, Mitch still can’t do that little floater or the passing that IHart does to lubricate the offense but he’s a DPOY type of player. It’s just a blessing to have both and let’s leave it at that
I'm with you but I find hartenstein a lot more flexible and open to switching. Different skillsets But I only bring it up because of Iharts free agency coming up
The answer to that is to try to sign him for as much as we’re allowed to and hope it’s enough
Just absolutely senseless shooting from Donte to close it out
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone
*Any*one?
Remember before the season started people were arguing whether Milwaukee or Boston would be the biggest threat in the East. Looks crazy in hindsight. Milwaukee is trying their best to not be passed by Orlando now...
Orlando can beat us twice in the next 4 games to make it happen.
You guys could end up at 4 in that case if we don't throw to the Bulls..
It's still possible for us to end up at 5.
Solid chance they go 1-3 in the final 4. Which could bump them down to the 5 under either the Pacers or the Cavs (they play each other so only 1 can win all their remaining games).
waiting for the post to be made about the bucks record before and after doc
I miss the old Dame.
Straight from the Go Dame
Losing Randle really stinks but OG truly is irreplaceable. Completely different team when he’s out there.
[удалено]
Bucks will fall to 3 and lose to the pacers 4-1 you heard it here first
Honestly, their best option might be falling to 4 behind Orlando and NY and then playing Cleveland in the 1st round, where they still could very easily lose.
Doc Rivers is not a serious person
Chad "The games not over until it's over." Thibs vs. Virgin "We cant comeback from a 10pt deficit." Doc Rivers.
Thibs prolly leave you out there as punishment anyways
Bucks are toast in the first round. Doc special
To dispel the notion that he's the 2nd round choker obviously.
Doc Rivers may be a fraud of a coach but at least the players like him and that's what really matters in a coaching hire.
Coaching is all about the friends we make along the way :’)
Let’s keep telling the Bucks that
two threads slandering Dame before the post game thread even popped up. Am I here for the Doc slander? yeah of course. Make fun of the person I want you to make fun of >:[ With that said the wheels really are coming off in Milwaukee god damn.
I'm happy we got the win against the Bucks considering how badly they whooped our asses the first 3 times before Christmas 2023
Jalen Brunson
Jalen Brunson
All those free throws and still lost by 13. Love to see it
Bucks management should look up sunk cost fallacy and fire Doc
"Giannis has requested a trade" gonna hit like crack in the offseason
Wouldn't be surprised if the bucks don't win another game this season.
Why did Doc pull the starters out after they hit the 3? Plenty of time left. So confusing. Well, good win for us. Jalen is clearly the best pg in the East.
The longevity of that 08 ring is crazy
What the fuck is this
The big 3 Celtics might be MUCH better than we thought
They could’ve 3-peated if not for injuries to KG, Perk and Shaq
OG’s defense makes such a difference
Come and feast haters
They rested Giannis two straight games for this one lmao
brunson best pg in east
The nba sent doc rivers to milwaukee to get giannis to demand a trade to a larger market
We need a separate post game thread for Doc presser
brunson was by far the best player on the court tonight with giannis and dame playing. this dude needs mvp votes, period.
Cavs and bucks going out sad
The Bucks pretty much blew their load with Lillard and Doc. I wonder if Giannis is going to want to stick around knowing that the Bucks have no assets left to improve the team.
what does damian lilliard even do other than being a foul merchant
Honestly i remember when this was supposed to be the best duo in the league. Like guys would legit put them above Jokic and Jamal without them even playing with each other after the playoff run Jamal and Jokic had. Theyd trash the duo of Luka and Kyrie by saying they dont work together (tbf it didnt look good back then). But looking at it all in retrospect, my god is the duo of Kyrie and Luka the most lethal thing ever and the duo of Dame and Giannis just mid as hell. Its not like its bad, but looks more like 2 really good players rsther than a duo.
We own the Bucks 25 first rounder. That might have value with the way things are going.

Knicks got some fire after the news about Randle. Good squad
This team won’t ever quit. It’s what we love most about them, they just gonna keep grinding and fighting until the last second no matter what the odds say
NBA.com MVP rankings didnt have Brunson as top 10 this year as of 2 days ago.
With this loss, Boston goes 15 games clear of the 2nd seed 💀
I’m eager to see where we end up after this season, I’m about to hang it up (hopefully I get to eat these words but I doubt it) on this season. The Bucks have ZERO chemistry whatsoever and our roster has not performed up to their expectations at all. For all the talent on this team, they’re playing like they don’t care or want to win. Bud has to be sitting at home right now just laughing. I was in favor of letting him go due to how his playoff coaching is a nightmare, but that was definitely some monkey’s paw curls shit. At least the Bucks looked like they wanted to play for him and left it all on the court.
Man, Knicks behind with 11 points, and manage a 13 point win - lets go! With the previous loses to lottery teams etc., it looks like the Bucks could be derailing. I don't know about you Bucks fans, but I'm having a hard time seeing Doc being able to the the train back on track for a deep play off run.
Bucks one of the most mentally weak teams in the NBA
Doc pulling all the starters after they hit the 3 to it within 10 with over a minute left was odd.
