Idgaf, if the Bucks lose to the Pacers for the fourth time – with/without Dame – I don’t want to hear anymore talk about Giannis being the greatest PF next to Duncan. Winning has to count for something when we talk about greatness. The Pacers are a mediocre team and there’s no reason that Giannis shouldn’t be able to will the Bucks to a series win.
Didn’t bucks win NBA CUP ? This bucks side is a playoff side ..not regular season
Last year in the playoffs, the Bucks had Jay Crowder, and Gallinari playing playoff minutes with no Dame and no Giannis the Pacers are going to get swept.
Now nicks a medical expert on blood clots , instead of him saying im wrong i thought blood clots was auto 6 months he says, i thought something was unique with dame when they said out indefinitely stop it man JESUS'
It took a random tyrese 4 point play to keep the bucks from sweeping the pacers this year lol.
I got Bucks in 6 with Dame back.
Bucks in 5
These idiots always disrespect Dame. They’ll be apologizing soon
Dame top 10 in the nba in scoring and they act like it’s not a major deal
He not coming back unless the bucks go down on the series which they won’t
I would love to see Giannis go on a legendary Dirk like run this playoffs
Is it crazy to say I think the bucks can make the ECF? I can see them definitely beating the knicks and giving the cavs a good fight
Either they said Dame had the clot to sit him for a bit, or he is going back despite having a major health issue. Only two options. This doesn't go away in a few weeks….
CHris B. is forgetting who's the best player in this series…
“X” not twitter
Pacers are overrated
How is doc still a coach in the league? Giannis needs to leave they don’t know what they doin over there.
Pacers gotta get it done and at least get passed round 1. The East last year was a joke in the playoffs. Who wasn’t hurt? They beat the bucks with no Giannis for every game and no dame for like 4 games, and then they faced the Knicks that literally had their entire roster hurt, and they ran into the Celtics in the ECF. If they wanna prove that last year wasn’t a fluke, they gotta at least get to the 2nd round and make it tough on the Cavs. Or else they’ll just be the new version of the 2021 hawks
Just so we’re clear, the Bucks led the league in 3pt% this year, above the cavs I might add. So “the bucks need more shooting” is quite a statement
These Reporters is Fake Fans Respectfully 💯😭 I Gotta Call Them out
48-34 is Gonna Record To Me For The Bucks They wilding Out Here Big Time Lmao 😭
Can he fly on a plane?
Wow so much Bucks hate .. I thought I was watching Stephen A.
Feels like Bucks are being underestimated loads here. Regular season last year the pacers had the bucks number. Come playoff time without Giannis and with a Dame that was not healthy along with Khris Middleton they took them to game 6. I would argue the Bucks are a better team this season with the individuals they now have. Not to mention they beat the Pacers 3-1 this season. I agree the Cavs matchup will be tough but I believe the bucks will show how good they can be this year.
Somehow it just feels like all of these national guys don't actually watch any Bucks games and just stick to canned talking points and narratives.
Bucks play better without Dame. KPJ is going to bring a lot to the Bucks. Offense and defense.
Hot take, I think the bucks handle this with ease and beats the pacers in 6 games with or without playtime from Lillard.
Bucks if they play good perimeter D and shoot 35% from 3 they are beating Pacers in 5 maybe 6…. Giannis will explode on them couse he aint going down in the 1st round again….
Oh, just wait for the Kevin Porter Jr playoff mode… He is gonna help the BEAST named Giannis to destroy Pacers in 5 or 6!
Pacers in 6
5:52 – Brou's MVP is not top 2
Don’t rush him back.
Chris Bosh I believe had blood clots also and he didn’t return right away
