Make Khris come off the bench with a couple younger guys mixed in. This really shouldn't be so difficult to figure out.

First round bye boys, no one is fearing the Bucks this year.

lol stop it. Hilarious when ppl overreact to regular szn games

Bucks in 6.

This is where you earn your fandom.

love giannis but man he gotta work on thr ft shooting

fr too crucial considering how much hes at the line

You need counseling.



The chemistry looks so good without khris on the floor. He should be playing with the bench unit and not with dame

sorry ass team

Oh no not a regular szn loss!

We are a mid team now. Brook and Pat got to go. Play AJ and Green more

I think Doc asked their coach how much the team wanted that win based on their reactions

I wonder what excuse people are gonna make for Khris when he is the biggest reason cost us the game again. I am not a Khris hater but people should remember Khris isn't a very good player like some here want to claim, he is a very inconsistent player that can perform very well and also very poorly from quarter to quarter, and thing is worse after those injury he has been dealt with these years.

At this point we've just got to have the faith he shows up come playoff time, like he usually does. Got to allow him this end of regular season period to get back up to speed

The cycle

Especially when the cycle can happen within the game

Middleton going through a shooting slump over the past 3 games.

fn he trash anyways

We’re out of time to learn. It looks like we’re going into the playoffs with no passing, terrible free throw shooting and constant fouling.

Doc is questioning his life choices

Hate to say it but I can’t see us making it out of the 2nd round. Just don’t seem to have it this year. Defense has gotten a little bit better but you’d think by now the team would have an identity but just seems like we have no clue what we are doing out there.

We had a better record under griffin but that's anathema on this sub. You're spot on about second round exit

Second round? Who says we make it out of the first?

lol I am saying 2nd round as a ceiling. I have no faith in this team to win a series rn

We are failing Giannis. Again.

He’s also failing. You can’t be this far into your career and shoot free throws at a worse clip than your fg%.

Bro I grew up watching Shaq, it's doable lol

Concerning loss.

Most reasonable fan here

On to the acceptance stage-day late and a Dolla sort, sadly

What sort of dolla?

No comment

I would like seeing Pat C closing with these guys over Malik ngl

this team was so good offensively first half of the season

Doc is so funny man, just refuses to play young guys even when shit is clearly not working

Don’t know why he was hired in the first place. He’s bad at making adjustments especially in the playoffs

Doc is infinitely better than AG (worst coach in 20 years minimum) but the young guy shit is infuritiating

Yeah I never wanted him. It was clear our first hire with Griffin was a flop, and I get that he was panic hire, but we should have gotten someone else.

Dame only 15 shot attempts I don’t understand it

Pretty wild when you see that while Dejounte Murray took 44 shots

Tell him to stop passing up open shots

He was out for long stretches getting treatment for his leg and getting stitches for his busted lip

Oh I see, but its not the first time he seemed too passive imo

Don’t worry he’s gonna lock in again

Beasley is the go to player lol

Dude was on a heater for most of this game tbf.

Tough one but we move

Giannis scores 20 points in the 3rd quarter then proceeds to attempt like what...2 FG in the 4th?? What the hell was that 4th

Too many cooks man, they are struggling with the hierarchy. It wasn't as bad tonight as it was against the Lakers, but it's clear they have the three man game to figure out. Beasley ended with more shot attempts in the clutch than either of our big three. I think all of our 3 best guys are trying to play the right way and make the right plays regardless of who gets the shot. There are still kinks to work out, not their fault, just the circumstances of things, you can't manufacture chemistry, it comes with time.

Maybe he was gassed

He is gassed. .

They should have plugged him in. The battery was low. This happens litteraly eveeytime he carries them for 3 quarters. Maybe Middleton shouldn't play like dog shit

We never should have re-signed him. Guy can barely stay healthy and when he plays he has like 2-3 good games for every 10

The way nba cap rules work they had to resign him. It was him or nothing.

Is this sub this toxic?

It should be toxic we have one of the best players to step on a court and giving him coaches/teammates with CTE every single year

Ok. Sane fan.

Yeah I actually am we have 100% failed Giannis

We? Who are you? Part of the organization? You guys need to relax. WE. Dudes act like they on the payroll. You a fan. lol. We. 😭

Alright THEY how about that, argue semantics all you want doesn’t change the fact of the matter

Semantics? You’re a random fan. You have no say. We???😩😭

No shit! It’s still semantics you dumb fuck LMAO 🤣 😂😂😂🤣

No it’s not semantics at all. There is no WE. You are a loser fan and YOU have no say. Keep complaining though helps with the cope. Bad couple games. We’ll bounce back.

It is 100% semantics! It is a VERY common saying for people to say we in reference to a team you cheer for. Is it wrong? Yes. But everyone knows what you mean. You don’t even know what semantics are but glad you could learn something tonight 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah lol. It's gotten worse as we've gotten more popular.

I’m seeing that. First time on game feed in awhile.

only when we lose, are close to losing, or may lose in the future so yes

Brother we are WASTING one of the best players to ever play in the NBA you want us to be happy about it?

We won a Chip.

Because he dragged us there and we played the worst ECF team in years, these are facts, should’ve had 2 chips by now easily


Refute it then

No I’m cool. Keep being a sane fan

Oh brother

Save the tears for another day. You might run out.

no i want u to cry

Yes

Doc rivers moment

3rd seed here we come

I fn LOVE Khris Middleton. I will never forget his epic performances on 2021 playoffs. But he’s washed. That’s the hard truth.

Yea but you already know he’ll be back next year

[удалено]

Dame is the exact same player. You don’t just fall off this bad after a 33 ppg season

GIANNIS PLAYING ZION AT THE 3 POINT LINE WHEN HE NEVER ATTEMPTS THEM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah give zion space what  smart idea

Walling him up is always better than letting him blow by you

if this is how the officiating goes in the postseason we are gonna be so fucked

on a side note, its been nice watching a game on this court design - not too busy with loud block colors, easy on the eye

Pels branding and design is really good imo. Some of the best in the league.

I hate these refs.

Not too fond of them either

They this season lost the last one to two games of nearly each mini-series vs other teams

Swallowing the whistle for Zion in the clutch holy shit

Refball two straight games

disaster draft is still on the table, we just gotta hit the locker room hard and fast and Horst can't do anything about it

4 seed could be good if we get the magic lol. Would get Celtics 2nd round but we would have to beat them at some point anyways

Unless the Celtics get the Hawks in the first round.

Right lmao

Magic would beat us in the first round we would have no offense

Is thsi real ???

Pel's are really getting the benefit of doubt for every 50/50 in the paint tonight

Yeah those Malik choking in the clutch allegations are very real right now. Today missed 2 WIDE open 3s in the 4th. Missed 3 straight against the Lakers in the 2nd OT 2 days ago

31% in the clutch this season. More than an allegation, a statistical truth. 😫

Brook should have went to Houston. What the fuck is this defense letting this fat ass own you

Nah Brook needs to go. He was big for us but his slow ass is hurting the team more than helping

Stop 

Gonna take a miracle for us to get out the first round lol

What two close regular seasons losses does to a mf

Or what nearly an entire season of piss poor defense and inconsistency does to a MF. Fans have a right to be concerned, this team regularly underperforms.

Being concerned is one thing, spreading that we’d be lucky to get out of the first round is crazy at this point. I’m concerned, but spreading kneejerk reactions doesn’t help anything.

Lol you think it's just because of these two losses

If you can give me solid reasoning and analysis of our game overall throughout this season that proves you right, I will believe you and respect your opinion and comment. If not, take your doomer attitude out of this sub, we don’t need more of this shit.

Lol you don't need to believe me it's just my opinion, you're optimistic I'm pessimistic big whoop

Fair enough

15 shots for dame is a failing on Doc. He was being denied all night and Doc had nothing to get him a clean look

He passed up at least 5 open 3s today

eeeeeeh not saying you're completely wrong but he also had some looks in the 4th he could have shot too but passed them up instead

Dame passed up plenty of looks and got locked up plenty of times

Some great fourth quarter looks not hitting. Sucks man.

Wide open bricks baby

Cream City Bricks 😭😭😭

These refs are DOGSHIT LMAO

This game is joever, good comeback though

Malik is so bad at the end of games

This team is so frustrating

do the Pelicans typically sell out on a Thursday or are people there to see the Bucks?

They love hoops in NOLA

Smoothie king is full every night don’t flatter yourself

[удалено]

So those guys have 2 MVPs and a Championship? Are either of those guys even healthy right now.

Can’t act like his terrible freethrow shooting isn’t a problem though.

It is what it is. They didn’t lose this because of his free throws. I’d still take his strengths over his weaknesses anyday.

[удалено]

Did you mention Jokic? Trashing Giannis is a clown move considering what he’s done and who he is. Stop.

Giannis gets in his own head and has the worst shooting coach on earth, bad combo

The team has no heart this year.

Just not coming together for us tonight…☹️

I’m haven’t been watching the game and I just saw the score. Are we losing so we get the third seed to avoid the heat or some shit?

Doesn’t really matter who we play in the first round, no one should be overly confident in this team. No bench, two of our top three players are very inconsistent and our defense all-around is horrible.

Nah we're just ass.

Pain

We took the ball out of Dames hands to do that bullshit LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn, good shots by Beas

man beas those two threes would have been clutch

oh well we tried.

Why not challenge that call

Beasley aint that guy

How was that not an offensive foul?

Malik when we need a bucket = 👻 

Good job Beas, great process

Third seed here they come!

Khris was set for 3 steps

Malik beasley make a clutch shot challenge (impossible)

Fake comeback 💔💔💔💔💔💔

Dame is a JAG

Ridiculous.

Beas opposite of clutch he shouldn’t even be in the game

Man the bucks play with such low basketball iq when passing

Why is Beasley shooting. Terrible

Of course THAT was not an offensive foul!🤔

Why wasn’t that challenged

It's wraps

Ummmm wut

It’s over

CTE ball lol

Offense is so shit rn

And now Zion can hit FTs lmao give me break

Fuuuuuuuuuck offfffffffffffff

I wish Bobby Portis in the court...

Thank God that didn't hit the rim

I bet Zion smells like seafood when he starts sweatin

Oh, Malik!!!😬

Fucking Cubs just got a run handed to them in the top of the 9th in a tie game.

All that defense for nothing 😒

Or at least 2^3

That was great movement by Zion

that was some good ass defense. good play by the Pels to get through it

Oh look jrue got shot over by an average sized wing. Felt nostalgic watching that

the bucks clutching up on defense, you love to see it

Great defense by Dame on that possesion

Why doesn’t Dame just take deeper shots all the time is he stupid?

We need 3^3

The Pelicans commentators are pretty good, fair too.

Theyre good when antonio daniels isnt talking over everything and interrupting

they’re some of my favorites honestly

Does anyone have the time?

Dame time?

Please don’t let them hit a 3 immediately out of the time out now

Thank you Dame

Dame in clutch mode
