Bucks are worse team in the NBA
In my mind I’ve conceded this year like the last few because I’m a bit tired of getting my hopes up, but I still think there’s a road for this bucks team to win a championship and if anything I just want to see post season Giannis.
We need Rondo to take over our offense. Clearly offense is not Doc's strong suite. Time to do something different
Am I the only person excited to see the Bucks play without Dame? These past two years have proven to me that Dame is talented, but he needs very specific personnel around him to be successful. He is inconsistent offensively and a liability on defense. I think the Bucks are easily a better defensive team with him out of the lineup, and if KPJ can give the backcourt some scoring and shot creation, the Bucks might have enough office to be productive.
Dame will be back
Bucks will be back in the finals
Bucks odds are +10000 right now, such a steal to pick them to win the title
No Dame for the playoffs sucks….😢
Sorry Justin, but I got Duke all the way! One of my favorite non Wisconsin college teams ever, with the consensus #1 pick, my personal favorite prospect (Maluach) and a hometown kid on the roster. Plus, they give me a distraction from the sorry state of the Bucks…
I think at this point we still don’t have an offensive identity. It’s been a full season and we STILL don’t have definitive elements that we plug players into. I drove all the way to Indy for game 6 last year because I never gave up hope, and I feel even less hopeful this year. We’re supposed to be putting things together and going on a run, and none of us could confidently say “this is what the bucks do on offense that makes them scary” other than shoot a high percentage of 3’s (which historically disappears in the playoffs).
Giannis needs to be willing to play the 5. I know he hates it, but I don’t really care. Lopez is old and slow, sims and Bobby are out. Suck. It. Up. We don’t need a 7ft PG that can’t shoot. Cause that’s exactly how he plays sometimes. It wouldn’t have to be for weeks at a time, but he needs to be the big.
Acho que o jogo de hoje vai ser um amostra dos playoff
it will be short
The bucks need to win 7 out of 10 games to secure the 5th spot. Need to avoid the knicks. Healthy giannis i think we have a good chance to get past the pacers
People of Wisconsin, pls vote for judge Crawford, don't let Maga ruin this country.
Wake me up when Glenn Rivers is fired!
No Dame, no chance in a playoff series.
I get you want people to still consume your content but quit blowing smoke up our asses.
Before the Milwaukee bucks went on the West Coast trip, I predicted . They were gonna be a 6 seed when it's all said and done, and it looks like my instincts were right even though they have a chance to write the ship. I don't see it. This thing needs an overhaul for next season. Dame should probably be traded. He can still play since the championship season of 2021, the GM failed to properly see the future, and now it may be time to blow this thing up the windows closed, but at least I got to see a championship
Ny is a horrible match up for Lopez. No one on that team is slow. Lopez flaws is a major weakness for the Bucks. His effectiveness on either side of the ball doesn't make up for his limitations. If im an opposing coach, im putting Lopez in PNR everytime. Guarantees its going to break the defense down 90 percent of the time.
Y'all take forever to react and analyze games. When was Milwaukee/NY yesterday?
I think we wont go anywhere until we get a new coach and a new GM. Just look at Aj Johnson's last game for DC and then think we gave up on him for Kuz. Yes it was nice to get off of Middletowns contract but at the cost of the 23rd pick a player who has legit up side in the future.
