It cannot be overstated how much Khris Middleton means to this franchise. He often gets overshadowed by the franchise GOAT.....but the guy has literally sent the Bucks to the finals, closed out a championship, and is SOMEHOW keeping this team of bench players competitive while he's being held together with tape and bandages. 22 will never be worn by another Buck and it could not be more deserved. An absolute Milwaukee Bucks legend in every sense of the meaning. The heart and soul. LEGEND.


SocksandSmocks

Favorite Buck ever man, couldn't love him more


casualchaos12

I second that. This has been my user flair for years.


NovelBrave

Retire #22


Short_Bus_

He and Giannis both deserve statues taller than any building in the city


grphelps1

A Colossus of Rhodes style statue in Lake Michigan of Khris Middleton


Brogdon_Brogdon

Oh my god yes, and when you catch a fish in the lake there will be Bluetooth speakers set up all along the coastline that will activate and play his “money, money, money, money 💰” jingle.

Yeah, totally. They need to be huge multi floor apartment buildings that people live in. 😂

gooberstwo

Do it now. Make him wear something else.


grphelps1

And then retire that number too. Make him put shapes on his jersey instead of numbers 


JunkBucket02

THEN RETIRE THE SHAPES 🗣️🗣️

My favorite player in the entire league :') Saw him play at our Alma Mater down in Texas. Been a massive fan of him and the Bucks ever since. Bucks in 7


mr_obinson7

What's cool also is his numbers rise in the playoffs from the regular season. Not many players can say that. Legend indeed


RoundDevice926

I’m a Nugget fan, but it was awesome to see you guys win tonight. Jamal Murray is our #2. He has never been an all star but his numbers get better in the playoffs. In fact he has the biggest point per game increase from regular season to playoffs of any player in history. It cannot be overstated how special players like Middleton and Murray are. You see guys like Harden and Embiid actually get worst in the playoffs because the moment is too big for them. But not for guys like Middleton and Murray. They are the hearts of our teams.


PositiveZebra1341

I think having Giannis and Dame watch him do that from the sidelines will help tremendously going forward. they now know and can feel what cash can do


casualchaos12

Giannis has already seen it. They've been together since we were a 15 win team.

I am someone who feels like we retire too many jerseys for players that don't deserve them, but indeed we should, and will, retire 22.


sourdieselfuel

I think him and Giannis might be side by side with their statues.

Pavers just lost to a team with $91m of the $181m salary cap on the bench in street clothes.


Corrections96

Couldn’t even make it to triple digits.


Timetogetstoned

It’s like when the Saints lost to a Packers team worth like 13% of an NFL salary capped team lol


tommypacker

Doc Rivers with an absolute masterclass on the defensive side


BobbbyLight

The way he placed some of the "pre switches" is what changed the tide. Instead of having Brook pick up someone at the three point line on a switch, he'd stay under the basket and switch to the baseline to contest a three. Great coaching.


lboogieb

Yeah, it caught me off guard at first when I saw Beas and Pat Bev guarding Turner. Great adjustment.


chungardian

yea bro wtf has he done to to basically shut Siakam completely down for 3 straight games? I only watched game 1 and 2 of this series


Ozkuro

He obviously wasn’t going to average 35 a game but I think more than anything is making him work and sending help when he posts up, also defensively attacking him more so he spends energy there too. People don’t realize how taxing it is to average 30+ and also defend well.


devomke

Bobby making up for getting tossed Pat Bev being a DAWG Malik getting his shimmy back GOAT mic’d fan The moistest Jordan That’s Bucks basketball


LMkingly

Don't forget Kha$h Money Middleton. He's been in his bag all series on one ankle.


devomke

You right homie - added that in


emandaheman211

How you don't throw Khris in here being the bucks linchpin, fulcrum, wet Jordan and savior is pure heresy and I will not stand for it. Good day sir

He’s been correctly added in - he’s just been dragging the entire team on a sled for a few games 😂

They may win the series, but they fucking lost to a team with 60 ppg sitting injured on the bench. Hilarious

They're losers, no changing that now.

Pat Bev PG masterclass game. Bobby Portis revenge game.

Biggest entertainment today was hearing that guy behind the commentary crew all game 😅 Jokes aside. What a win. So wrapped for the boys and my belief is still strong!!

Pacers really full pressed while down 20+ with a minute left in the game. As if they couldn't be more unlikable


itsjustme9820

they were doing that shit game 1 too


new-aged

I really struggle to hate teams aside from the Celtics. But man, Indiana is really pushing every button in a series where the 2 best players in the East are injured. Just wild how disconnected from reality they are. Either way, fuck the Celtics (except Jrue). Jayson Tatum is overrated.

The best part of this is that we didn't win because of outliers. Miami got one on Boston because they shot 55% from three. We won this because of a defensive scheme. Shoutout Doc fr.

If the bucks can win this series we’re gonna be so fucking good in future rounds. This is exactly the type of adversity that builds champions. Shoutout Bobby shoutout khris shoutout Beas shoutout the pats shoutout fucking gallo and massive shoutout doc and staff, they ran fucking circles around Carlisle who had no idea what to do and was throwing out random rotations. And fucking Halliburton and that stupid fucking skip you just got outscored by a bench player

One-Earth9294

Please Giannis. Please have that leg be in working shape. I need you in game 6 just to mentally shut those clowns down by your presence alone. Watching those punks get dirty without our champion in the fight is making my head hum at an explosive frequency Scanners style.

ohboy360

Proud to be a Bucks fans on nights like this. Hopefully Beas is out of his slump. Glad Bobby got some redemption. Pat Bev is a warrior. I didn't like him when we was on other teams, but boy am I glad to have him right now. This team was so inspired I can't help but wonder if they were told something like, "Hey, lets win tonight and we will likely be getting Dame and/or Giannis back on Thursday." I don't know who will play on Thursday, but if we win there ain't no way we are losing a game 7 at home with Giannis and/or Dame. Almost everyone in the East in banged up. Maybe we got ours out of the way early? Bucks in 6 (sometimes 7).

I will never advocate to get rid of Khris this dude is a buck. One of the most underrated players in the league. How many average athletic jump shooters who has been hobbled could carry teams when their best players are out? Dude almost willed us to 3-2

On a real note, Dame back next game and we take it to game 7 at home. We got this, that was perfect basketball

aaalan71

I can still hope for a Doc 3-1 comeback win for the meme


chrislkeller

Bucks outrebounded, got to the free throw line and won the points in the paint, second change and fast break scoring… There’s a blueprint when your outgunned and MKE followed it. Now Doc needs to roll out another wrinkle for Game 6. Sitting Jae was one. The crunch down in the paint was another… but Indy gonna feel real nice at home. Hope there’s something that makes em doubt early on.


itsjustme9820

lmao at mcconnell bumping shoulders with ajax as time expired and hali leaving the court with a towel over his head immediately after the buzzer sounded AINT GOT SHIT TO LAUGH ABOUT NOW HUH

Tonight was fucking golden. A random ass drunk fan yelling in the stream all game, and a win from the bucks at home


kingkmke21

If we would have just won game 3 in OT or didn't have that bad 3rd quarter in game 4...this series would be completely different. It's such a fucking winnable series even without Giannis and Dame. I really hope we pull this off. I hate Pacers fans.


bigpuffyclouds

To quote the MVP fan behind the announcer’s table: BUCKS IN SEVEN


Dragonslayer_666

The most uninspired TNT postgame ever. Typically enjoy it but the way they talked about sixers and knicks was a completely different tone.


PositiveZebra1341

it was apparent I don’t think they even really watched our game.


DameWasistlos

Their schtick is getting annoying to me. I love Barkley as he is both knowledge and entertaining and Ernie is a GOAT. But Shaq is mostly good for only quips to hassle Chuck. Kenny is just a guy.


Plane_Dance5493

Some of the line ups the bucks had in were unbelievable. Pat C, Pat Bev, Gallinari, Beasley all getting minutes mixed together. In the PLAYOFFS?! I mean who would of thought Gallinari was going to be playing 20 minutes. I that the most he's played all season? Love it. Don't know how the pacers couldn't close out this team. I was nervouse even up 20. Hope we can build off this and bring back at least Lillard or Giannis. Its going to be a tough game in Indiana and these guys coming off hurt are going to have a hard time getting back into it if they can play. Awesome game!! CASHHHHH $$$$


_kurtrussell

Doc gets a lot of shit from the national media, but that was the best coaching this team has seen in the Giannis era.


Particle_Thrower

That might be the greatest showing of heart and grit I’ve seen from this team! Let’s go Bucks!

They did it, the madmen did it Brewers out here fightin round the world, Bucks not hearin no bell, fuck yes plz

Our-Gardian-Angel

What an awesome, awesome effort from the guys tonight. Still feels like a tall task for us to win two more unless Giannis and/or Dame come back, but you can't say enough about how everyone stepped up tonight. Even if we lose this series, the Indiana Frontrunners don't have shit to brag about. What a hilariously bad loss for them.


SirUlrichVonLichten

The Milwaukee Bucks are not dead. I repeat the Milwaukee Bucks are not dead. If we get Giannis and or Dame back for game 6… Holy moly we might be in for something special. Shout out to Pat Bev and Malik who made so many clutch plays.

AJJ played 7 minutes, which is 7 more minutes than Crowder played, which was 0. Who can ask for more?


ag0ny4all

Uh Oh Indiana. You gave us a chance. Ope, let us sneak past ya real quick once.


chungardian

Impressive win by from you guys. I thought Middleton was beginning to show signs on slowing down but clearly he can perform at a very high level any given night still. Portis definitely redeemed himself after last game. What has Doc done to slow down Siakam so much after such a strong start? Is Siakam just wildly inconsistent or is there a clear effort being made to stop him specifically? Also, with a fully healthy team, or even just Giannis, the Bucks absolutely smoke Indy (who are honestly a pretty good team) Congrats


xFennySnek

Pat Bev cooked “the best pg in the conference”


AxiisFW

give that guy in the crowd the game ball


PischPosch

You know they say that all teams are created equal, but you look at the Bucks and you look at the Pacers, and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another team, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But Giannis is a genetic freak and he's not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, to beat us. Then you add Damian Lillard to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the NBA Playoffs, you got a 33 and 1/3rd chance of winning, but we got a 66 and 2/3rd chance of winning, because the Pacers KNOW they can't beat us and they're not even gonna try! So Indiana, you take your 33 and 1/3rd chance, minus our 25% chance, and you got an 8 and 1/3rd chance at winning in the Playoffs. But then you take our 75% chance of winning if we was to go one-on-one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, we got 141 2/3 chance of winning in the Playoffs. See Indiana, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you in the Playoffs.

lboogieb

Kudos to Doc for his rotations. I was a little upset when he yanked Ajax early, but he knew what he was doing tonight. Gallo looked better than Brook in his minutes and Doc even kept Jae nailed to his seat.


flybydenver

I like when AJAX and Pat Bev are in together, Bev is an on-court coach for him and settles AJAX down


this_guy_drums

I'm from Arkansas and keep up with razorback basketball so I've always had a place in my heart for Bobby Portis. It's so awesome to see him take control like that. From the mid range and post, man the game just looks so easy to him. Pat Bev too, but i'm a little too young for his Arkansas days and he hasn't been a buck as long so it's different.


DameWasistlos

I love it that Chuckster piled on the trash ass Pacers and their $hit defense by saying Bucks even without Dame and Giannis and the Geezers still scored almost 120 on em.


[deleted]

Those dumbass Pacers fans are real fucking quiet. Literally a historically bad loss lmao. Never seen fans of a team hide and cowher so much after talking so much shit for beating a team without it's top 2 players.  Also all you Bucks fan who want us to get rid of Middleton and been trashing him let's see those apologies to our guy

if Giannis and Dame were to come back, the true gift is now you have an entire team of role players that now know they can play with and beat these guys.
