    listen guys I’m not saying I don’t think this team is capable of winning three in a row but… the vibes are *not good* right now 😔

  2. There’s a reason Wisconsin is the drunkest state in the country.

    That reason? Wisconsin Sports.

  3. esoxangler20

    The only thing that could’ve made this more infuriating is if we still had George Hill and bud gave him meaningful minutes

  4. aeroazure

    Why don’t the Bucks simply raise the sea level and drown Miami?

  5. AaltoSax

    We won a championship in spite of Bud, not because of him. It’s time to move on.

  6. epicurean_barbarian

    Jesus Christ. This fucking team.

  7. giannisfan2007

    I really don’t have the words. Only three times in NBA history has the #1 seed lost to the #8 seed in a 7 game series. What a collapse from the Bucks. What an incredible choke-job from Jrue and Khris. What a performance from Jimmy. I’ll see you all next year.

  8. Listen man I don’t care how good Jrue is on defense. Games like this KILL us. He is a net negative on the court when he puts up shitters like this

  9. AaltoSax

    All-time horrific performance from Jrue and Khris. Not just shooting, but just decision making and ball handling. It may be wrong, but I wouldn’t hate moving on from them after this. You just can’t be that lazy in a crucial playoff game.

  10. SocksandSmocks

    Absolutely mentally weak. They completely shrank anytime they needed to make a play for literally 6 minutes.

    They deserve every bit of slander after this. How are we ever supposed to trust this team man? Thank fucking God for Durant’s big ass feet.

    Anyway bucks in ~~6~~ 7

  11. Jrue disaster class on offense
    Khris disaster class on offense and defense
    Another game where we get too cute and can’t take control when it’s right there for the taking
    Butler with an all-time great performance

    Just keep finding new ways to lose man

  12. BobbbyLight

    Look, we’re going to lose this series. If not, I’ll be happy to be wrong.

    Bud is not a playoff coach. Our roster is poorly constructed. We’re too old.

    We have Giannis so we still have hope but if we don’t make massive changes next year, we’re going to be in the same spot. Amazing regular season team that isn’t built for the playoffs.

  13. Traditional_Cat_9724

    Embarrassing way to come back to Milwaukee. Go Bucks.

  14. Competitive_Quiet179

    I’m speechless honestly

    I’m speechless

  15. The_zesty_meat_man

    Is this the worst loss we’ve seen from this team?

  16. CoolBeansChemist

    We ain’t coming back 3-1 with this trash gameplay and a non 100% Giannis and trash Bud not calling timeouts

  17. Just gonna repeat what I said in the game thread:

    Just don’t understand how Carter gets shelved once the playoffs arrive again.

    They’ve spent all series struggling to defend, pressure the ball and interrupt the Heat’s offensive flow.

    Carter’s one of the few on this roster that can do those things.

  18. LMkingly

    Get rid of this entire fucking coaching staff and put everyone not named Giannis or Brook on the trading block i don’t fucking care anymore this is disgusting. A 15 point lead in the 4th against an 8th seed and we choked it away. Unbelievable.

  19. TotallyNotSuggested

    This team need some sort of massive realignment in the off-season and has like no means of doing it. Fucking hell.

  20. mtherndo

    Bud deserves to be fired into the sun after not taking a TO during that Heat run. He’s responsible for getting the troops back in order. Abysmal leadership

  21. undermon

    Everyone was talking about the Heat had to cool down eventually and instead Jimmy Butler drops a career high on us LMAO

  22. p3destr1an

    Amazing how as soon as Giannis goes down or has to play through pain Bud just gets completely outclassed by elite coaches, every single time. He got absolutely carried by a historic playoff run from Giannis in 2021. Turnover after turnover in the clutch, jacking up contested shots all fourth, not calling a timeout when the heat are on a 16-0 run and tie the game. Imagine getting outplayed by a play-in team that everybody expected us to sweep even without Giannis. I will not defend this man any more after this. This is all-time levels embarrassment. Please bring in Nick Nurse

  23. 1eyed_jack

    Welp, another year wasting Giannis’ prime.

  24. Mayor_Of_Dogs

    I’ve been a Middleton defender for a long time but I’m just DONE. It’s inexcusable to be a decade plus veteran and have absolutely NO basketball iq.
    And Jrue, come ON man. What was that!

  25. lolrusgaming

    Yikes, how does Giannis have a triple double and Brook puts up 36/11 with a 15 point lead end up as a loss?

  26. LTtheBasedGod

    That “Milwaukee has parted way with head coach Mike Budenholzer” is gonna hit like crack baby

  27. I’m kinda grateful for that last Celtics game. It really tempered my expectations for this team. This is disappointing, but not shocking. Anyone who was paying attention knew this team struggled against contenders.

    Bud needs to go and this team needs some new blood. Stop trading for old, washed players who contribute little to nothing.

  28. Lol25Talks

    Mike Budenholzer needed 3 straight minutes of the Bucks not scoring before he called a timeout. That’s the level of bad our head coach is.

  29. Honestly, the Bucks simply don’t deserve to win this series.

    * The difference in effort between them and the Heat is palpable. It’s clear that Miami wants it more.
    * The defensive game plans rarely make sense. The Heat’s one major chance is to shoot well from three, and the Bucks are not defending it at all.
    * Bud’s coaching is nonsensical. Not calling a timeout when that 4th quarter run became 7-0 was poor. When it became 9-0, nonsensical. When it hit 11-0, even 3rd grade rec league coaches know to call it. That’s just the most glaringly obvious moment amongst many.
    * The Heat have just generally played better overall. There’s not argument against it.

  30. GraysonAllen7

    rebuild for Lillard. Embarrassing loss.

  31. Chuy-IsSmall

    Rested khris all year jus for him to throw up brick after brick, it’s comical.

  32. Reggieheathcliff

    The entire organization needs to be embarrassed. They have started to believe their own hype and have become so cocky. From game 1 they treated this series as a warm up. Even going so far as to load managing Giannis in game 3 during the PLAYOFFS. Every single player is being out-hustled. Bud isn’t adjusting at all like he did in 2021. Jrue and Khris are truthfully being outplayed by Caleb Martin, Kyle Lowry, Gabe Vincent, and Duncan Robinson. It’s hard to place blame but Bud, Khris, and Jrue deserve the majority of it. So sad to witness this. There have been so many plays this series where Khris just absolutely gives up. It’s disheartening to watch. I don’t know man…..changes might be needed.

  33. titans0021

    To lose a game where you’re up 13 with five minutes left, an injured Giannis posts a triple double and Brook sets a career playoff high is not something I thought would happen. But here we are. Thanks Jrue. Thanks Khris. Thanks bench on the “deepest team in the league. And thanks Bud.
