The Milwaukee Bucks are the dumbest team in the postseason

[Professor Emeritus]

This team is a lottery team without Giannis.

Bucks were 10-6 this year without Giannis (not counting the three rest games to end the season), and a lot of those games were without Middleton too.

And in the last three years they're now 3-1 in playoff games when Giannis doesn't play.

Coach Bud has his own part to play in this, but is another coach going to miraculously make Giannis a threat to shoot down the stretch of games?

That's why they have Khris and all those shooters

Giannis is modern day Shaq, late in games Khris handles and runs the offense.

Kris and Jrue are turnover machines

Giannis is their best ball handler

Horst needs to have a warmer seat. His roster construction is cheeks for all to see now.

Nah, that's being way too harsh. Most teams would kill for their roster construction.

* Lopez is an elite rim-protecting floor-stretching center to have next to Giannis.

* Jrue-Middleton-Grayson give you the best trio of 3-and-d perimeter players in the league.

* Portis, Connoughton, Ingles are all serviceable bench players.


Sure, Jrue isn't quite a true point guard, but when your star is as ball-dominant as Giannis, that's where you'll sacrifice. He's fine as a second facilitator. Their big issue is the lack of a better backup point guard but all teams have some hole in the lineup.

Look at Milwaukee's lineup and compare it to the Suns who basically go 5-deep and don't fit together naturally. Or the Lakers whose roster was so bad that picking up D-Lo, Rui, Vandy, Beasley, and Bamba at midseason was somehow a huge win (D-lo would be the Bucks's backup PG, Rui would get time when Giannis was out and none of those other guys would even play). Or the Sixers, the Grizzlies, the Kings....everyone lacking somewhere.

No, they were 11-8 this year without Giannis. Context matter cos most of those games were against lottery teams or teams load managing their star players. And the one decent team they beat without him were the Suns with no KD.

Context also matters in 3-1 narrative in the playoffs. They’re 1-2 in this playoffs without him cos Giannis only played 7mins before he got injured in the first game. And Trae Young was injured (missed 1 game & was hampered in the other) when they beat the Hawks 2-0.

The team is old & was badly constructed. It’s been obvious for 5 seasons that they need a true PG & athletic 3 & D guys. But the retarded GM keep signing bum arse white boys who aren’t athletic & can’t defend (they’re not even good shooters & are streaky most times). The team is the whitest team in the league loaded with bums that will struggle to get playing minutes on average teams.

And Bud is the dumbest coach in the league. So, to me, it’s not surprising that they flamed out in the playoffs. I’ve always maintained that Bud is a retarded coach & Jrue is one of the most overrated players in the league. Giannis carried all these bums & the retarded coach & GM.

They need a solid PG mid-level PG like Tyus Jones & 2 athletic 3 & D guys.

Brook does only one great things at defense: block shots. He’s trash when it comes to everything else. Giannis is their best rim protector.

Jrue is overrated - he’s not that good. Middleton is a shell of himself & he sucks defensively. Butter scored half of his points with Middleton guarding him. And Grayson Allen is a bench player at best & he was a bench warmer with the Grizzlies. Also, defensively, Grayson is a cone.

Ingles is trash & I still don’t know why they signed him apart the fact that he’s white & the GM/coach love white boys. He’s a 36-yr old coming off torn Achilles & someone who has no business playing for a team that needs an athletic 3 & D guy. Pat & Bobby are serviceable but they both suck defensively.

Lakers’ roster is way better than Bucks’ roster. Lakers have 4 solid athletic 3 & D guys. DLo is a better PG than Jrue albeit Jrue is a better defender. And Lakers’ reserve PG, Schroder, is way better than anything on the Bucks.

None of the white boys on the Bucks would get playing time on the Lakers & Bucks have 7 of them.

Heat better win it all at this point since they basically have a bye to the Finals now

I’m pretty sure Knicks look at them the same way

 

[The Connoisseurs]

Why can’t it be that Jimmy B is just that Good.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

What a disgrace

These nikkas really are down 3-1 to the fukkin Heat and are lettin this glorified role player Jimmy Butler score 56 pts

This is horrible

This coach is getting fired and now Ime Idoka is coaching the Rockets

Damn

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Why can’t it be that Jimmy B is just that Good.

Because he's not

 

[The Connoisseurs]

Because he's not

You’re in your feels so you’re not thinking rationally, Jimmy history says so.

 

[King Poetic]

Sorry no way jimmy butler should hit 56 on you.. jimmy is solid and getting 35 is cool, but 56,, that’s fall on the coaching

 

[Joe Sixpack]

You’re in your feels so you’re not thinking rationally, Jimmy history says so.

This is a reflection of the Bucks terrible play and horrible coaching

Jimmy Butler is a glorified role player

Did he not have 4 40 points game in last years playoff ?


Was he not a shot away from the finals last year

Y’all watch ball or just skim through it ?

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I’m pretty sure Knicks look at them the same way

Knicks and Heat doing the east a favor right now.
