[and just like that we are back to being the best team in the NBA!](https://www.reddit.com/r/MkeBucks/comments/199fisl/postgame_thread_our_milwaukee_bucks_28_13_fall_to/kidq2f2/)
It’s so easy to blame the coach but I legit don’t understand what the fuck happened to this teams defence, transition play, rebounding and everything else outside of Dame and Giannis. Jrue getting older was the problem, not Bud but we scapegoated Bud.
**I’m so fucking sick of our starters having to play at least 37-28 MPG to stay competitive each game.** Do something about this dogshit bench, look at the starters +/- then look at the bench +/-. We’re gonna be fucked and gassed in the playoffs if Adrian keeps playing these guys this many minutes ESPECIALLY IN A NARROW WIN OVER THE PISTONS. Play MarJon, AJ Green or even TyTy FFS. Do whatever to stop our starters having to play almost 40 fucking minutes to win games.
For someone who was known to give young guys and players opportunity, all he’s been doing is playing his starters a billion minutes.
Good win
Damian Lamont Ollie Lillard
God Horst please work your magic to give us a good perimeter defender please.

They were hot, but we got it done
Bucks looked old today. A trade is needed. That said this same Pistons team were in dogfights with the Timberwolves and the Celtics as well. It happens. Better roll them in the next matchup.
135 points given up to one of the worst offenses in the league. We have no chance of winning a chip unless we reliably put up 130+ a game lmao
Not even a single smile on the players after winning this game. So sad
Pistons took the Celtics to overtime, mfs got to calm down in the game thread.
Play the Pistons again on Monday, if we don’t come out swinging and they drop 50%+ 3 point shooting on us again any remaining faith I have in this coaching staff’s ability to make snap adjustments in short time windows (i.e. the playoffs) is gone.
That being said, bench needs to be gutted and rebuilt. Pat finally had a solid offensive game but his defense was so incredibly bad it didn’t matter, Bobby getting abused on the perimeter and Jae also looking slow in his two return games is not a good omen
Bucks win, Badgers win, let’s go Pack!
Ha! We won! We’re the best team in the world!!!!
The moveable object prevailed over the stoppable force 141-135
Not much to say about the defense. Pistons could actually get a few more wins when Cade comes back. Finally have some shooters with the Gallo and Muscala trade.
is Marjon hurt?
Edit; He got a DNP, maybe this is a sign he’s getting traded.
Everyone crying in the game thread lmao the game was close because the Pistons were hitting a lot of bullshit jumpers and Giannis didn’t play that well, it’s not that serious.
Pistons played hard but we pulled the W. Good to see Jae back.
Defensive masterclass, I tell ya.
most depressing win of the season
Letting this pistons team drop 135 points on us is a basketball crime. They didn’t even have Cade my goodness.
This felt like a season worst game from Giannis but he still went 10/16 from the field, we do not deserve this man
Glad we survived the juggernaut Pistons. Get Dame and Giannis some damn help. Our bench got lit up and is terrible.
Why play defense when you can play offense?
I’ll take the win, but context is important – they were missing Cade and are the worst team in the league. If it wasn’t for Giannis going super saiyan against the 7 win Spurs, or Dame hitting a half court buzzer beater against the Kings, we could very easily be 2-7 in 2024. This is not a serious team it its current state.
Bucks aren’t allowed to win games anymore. Any win is now a loss and will be discussed as if it were a loss.
Bucks win now Packers lfg
just seeing how fickle people are on here blows my mind. It’s like sports is a drug to these folks. Once they get their “hit” (win) nothing else matters. But if we lose then they throw a temper tantrum
It’s an addiction thing. Because people here are not acting rational. Barely beating the worst team in the league does not negate dangerous patterns we’ve seen over a 40 game sample size
I can’t be the only one who doesnt emotionally jump to conclusions every game.
monty will not be pleased with those free throw splits
*gets blown out by Cleveland* It happens! We didn’t have Giannis!
*barely squeaks by Detroit and San Antonio* at least we beat them! Boston lost once one time so it’s justifiable!
*barely beat a GSW without Steph or Draymond* it takes time for the team to gel!
*gets our lunch handed to us by the Pacers* They’re just a bad matchup!
*Gets smoked by the Jazz* It happens!
*Lose to the Bulls and barely beat them in overtime* Dame isn’t shooting well! How can you expect us to win when Dame isn’t shooting well??
It’s coaching guys, it’s not the players. We’re losing to AWFUL teams and when we start playing teams with a pulse later on, it’s only going to get worse.
