TROUBLE,TROUBLE,TROUBLE
What's up Doc is it rabbit season or duck season?
The bucks are ready. They will beat pacers
this show is boring when they all agree
The Pacers are a good fast paced team that scores a lot of points, but people forget that they allow as many points as they score. The pace will slow down in the playoffs. People say the Bucks defense isn't good. The Pacers defense is worse. Halliburton hasn't played his best basketball within a month or so. Giannis is out for the start of the series, but they still have Dame, Middleton, Portis and Lopez. Pacers won the season series 4-1, but the Bucks and Pacers haven't faced each other since January. I'm going with the more experienced team. Dame has to step up. Bucks in 6.
They Always Counting Us Out Inna Playoffs .. Nothing New
Funny how skip and shannon together were dominate. Now both are just sad to watch.
No excuses if they lose Dame ia a superstar and needs to remind everyone!!!!
It’s just like the 2022 playoffs when Miami kicked them out cause Giannis got injured early. Yeah Pacers winning in 5 or 6 games. They score too much and Bucks defensive too inconsistent.
Nurse Rivers effect activated
Dame… hear Steven A. Remind us of why you are actually great!! There’s not going to be a better opportunity for you after a decade long cozy Portland pg role. Get it now! Don’t just get in where you fit in like Lame primadonna Harden or something like that. Are you a champion or a Harden?
The Portland days were all dame did was lose big games
Everyone picking the pacers yep the bucks winning in 5
I know the bucks aren’t as good as in previous years, but I don’t think they’re THAT bad.
The Bucks are done. Doc got his excuse v
Milwaukee's defense just doesn't look post season ready, not to mention their offense and chemistry hasn't shown to be capable of overwhelming their opponents by outscoring them either.
now it's Bobby Khris Pat Bev Lopez and the bench who need to help Dame and Lopez is a paint patroller and Indy could have a way to make him work on defense
Also watch out for TJ Mconell
Yeah Milwaukee getting swept then
When they lose to the Pacers, Doc's gonna come out and say "we didn't have our best player".
Now watch they go to second round woth greek comin bk game 4
Middleton ain’t play none of them games against Indiana
Giannis and the Bucks have always been overrated. They only won that ring when they did because mostly everyone was hurt during those playoffs
Fine too
Remember guys he said there’s no such thing as Failure 😂😂.
The new chick is great, she knows her stuff. Hopefully she'll lead ESPN to fire Malika, because she's terrible.
If the Bucks lose in 4-5 games, whatever, if they lose period regardless of game amount, this team may be the talk of the offseason
Andraya >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Malika and its not even remotely close.
Doc Rivers just found another excuse it seems
I think people are putting way too much stock into the Pacers. This series is going to be close and I can see either teams winning in 6 or 7
IND in 6
So you gona tell me Shannon not delulu he says this about the bucks by still believes the Lakers will beat Denver
Healthy Giannis on the Bucks they would smoke the Pacers in 5 games. Giannis ain’t playing I still think the Bucks are beating the Pacers because the Bucks playoff experience and Dame and playoff Middleton
Andraya is awesome, it’s nice having her on the show
They missing that Dame played great without Giannis…… Bucks in six…….
dame time
They can't risk a more serious injury so maybe GA doesn't come back at all. Take the Pacers either way.
At 7 second mark, someone rips a wet fart. — https://youtu.be/yuElYrOPg6c?si=IqUtcirluBfP42ok&t=7
Crazy af everyone get ready for a Middleton masterclass
I starting to think if the bucks lose to the pacers they fire Doc Rivers and Damien Lillard
To quote sweet daddy from good times, "you in trouble"!!!! Pacers in 6.
