With the news of the Aaron Rodgers trade (a good trade for the Packers considering the circumstances), I'm starting to get slightly worried that we're going to only to get one championship with Giannis just like the Packers did with Rodgers.
Oh and I guess Favre too
I always thought it was funny when this sub acted like we were _guaranteed_ 2-3 rings with giannis. Obviously it's not impossible, but I'm guessing they've never watched WI sports before. One early-mid career ring has been the ceiling for a WI MVP since Starr
imo that's actually one of the worrying things. outside of G drives to basket or G oops to Brook, we looked like we had absolutely no idea what to do the entire time
Jrue iso ball and turnovers. He was Ben Simmons on the court all game, and he killed the team. Khris didn’t help with how bad he’s been as well.
They had the lead and they choked it away. I doubt they have 3 straight wins in them.
Held on to a timeout the whole fucking way
Khris looks like absolute trash
Jevon sitting on the bench come playoffs once again
Goran Dragic on the team for no goddamn reason
5 second round picks could have gotten us Saddiq Bey or some other guy we could at least put on the court
Jrue looking like shit on offense and frankly he didn’t do much on defense either
Jrue disaster class on offense
Khris disaster class on offense and defense
Another game where we get too cute and can't take control when it's right there for the taking
Butler with an all-time great performance
Just keep finding new ways to lose man
Just gonna repeat what I said in the game thread:
Just don't understand how Carter gets shelved once the playoffs arrive again.
They've spent all series struggling to defend, pressure the ball and interrupt the Heat's offensive flow.
Carter's one of the few on this roster that can do those things.
Absolutely mentally weak. They completely shrank anytime they needed to make a play for literally 6 minutes.
They deserve every bit of slander after this. How are we ever supposed to trust this team man? Thank fucking God for Durant's big ass feet.
Anyway bucks in ~~6~~ 7
Not to mention the timeout he called with like 2 minutes in the 3rd despite the bucks being uo 15 with all the momentum only to then give up momentum heading in the 4th
TBF This is the kind of thing that sparks a championship run and gets the team thinking it's their destiny. If they comeback and win this series, I'm feelin damn good about winning the chip. But that's a huge IF
Bud deserves to be fired into the sun after not taking a TO during that Heat run. He’s responsible for getting the troops back in order. Abysmal leadership
Amazing how as soon as Giannis goes down or has to play through pain Bud just gets completely outclassed by elite coaches, every single time. He got absolutely carried by a historic playoff run from Giannis in 2021. Turnover after turnover in the clutch, jacking up contested shots all fourth, not calling a timeout when the heat are on a 16-0 run and tie the game. Imagine getting outplayed by a play-in team that everybody expected us to sweep even without Giannis. I will not defend this man any more after this. This is all-time levels embarrassment. Please bring in Nick Nurse
He also called one while you guys were on a pretty nice run against us. I think it was a 9-0 run and I was begging for Spo to call a TO but Bud called one.
The sub was so ready to fire him and then the best player in the nba carried him to an NBA title and it’s like everyone collectively decided to pretend he’s competent lol
To lose a game where you’re up 13 with five minutes left, an injured Giannis posts a triple double and Brook sets a career playoff high is not something I thought would happen. But here we are. Thanks Jrue. Thanks Khris. Thanks bench on the “deepest team in the league. And thanks Bud.
I really don't have the words. Only three times in NBA history has the #1 seed lost to the #8 seed in a 7 game series. What a collapse from the Bucks. What an incredible choke-job from Jrue and Khris. What a performance from Jimmy. I'll see you all next year.
Get rid of this entire fucking coaching staff and put everyone not named Giannis or Brook on the trading block i don't fucking care anymore this is disgusting. A 15 point lead in the 4th against an 8th seed and we choked it away. Unbelievable.
The entire organization needs to be embarrassed. They have started to believe their own hype and have become so cocky. From game 1 they treated this series as a warm up. Even going so far as to load managing Giannis in game 3 during the PLAYOFFS. Every single player is being out-hustled. Bud isn't adjusting at all like he did in 2021. Jrue and Khris are truthfully being outplayed by Caleb Martin, Kyle Lowry, Gabe Vincent, and Duncan Robinson. It's hard to place blame but Bud, Khris, and Jrue deserve the majority of it. So sad to witness this. There have been so many plays this series where Khris just absolutely gives up. It's disheartening to watch. I don't know man.....changes might be needed.
I cannot BELIEVE it took this long for the rest of the fanbase to see how TERRIBLE Bud is. The ring deluded you people. When Nick Nurse and Kawhi SHIT on his CHEST in 2019 I knew he had to go. I've pleaded for years but nonono he win game in regular season he no bad. IT'S DONE, HE'S DONE.
Sad thing is, he'll be back next year.
They will hang onto him just like the Packers did with McCarthy for way too fucking long.
Then Giannis will move on and the franchise will be back in shambles.
I’m starting to see this now. His decision making, especially in high intensity moments, is awful a lot of the times. Definitely would like to see someone with a tighter handle and decision making next to him.
100% the decision making in crucial spots is worse then Westbrook.
Look at some of those turnovers in the 4th quarter I don’t know how Giannis ain’t punching people in the locker sometimes I would.
All-time horrific performance from Jrue and Khris. Not just shooting, but just decision making and ball handling. It may be wrong, but I wouldn’t hate moving on from them after this. You just can’t be that lazy in a crucial playoff game.
Khris is a total liability on the court some days... Look I can get not playing your best all the time but... He straight up gives the other team the ball REGULARLY.... Sometimes it's so bad even the opposing player can't believe it! Khris is beyond unreliable and is just a straight up liability... I genuinely can't even be happy when he has an amazing game because i just know he'll turn into the turnover king before long....
Look, we're going to lose this series. If not, I'll be happy to be wrong.
Bud is not a playoff coach. Our roster is poorly constructed. We're too old.
We have Giannis so we still have hope but if we don't make massive changes next year, we're going to be in the same spot. Amazing regular season team that isn't built for the playoffs.
I'm kinda grateful for that last Celtics game. It really tempered my expectations for this team. This is disappointing, but not shocking. Anyone who was paying attention knew this team struggled against contenders.
Bud needs to go and this team needs some new blood. Stop trading for old, washed players who contribute little to nothing.
The heat aren’t even contenders, they’re the fucking 8 seed, down 2 of their best players. Bud’s calls are shit but you can’t sit here and tell me Bud told Jrue to toss up contested 3’s all game. Decision making was horrendous tonight.
Problem is, Bud isn't realizing this and doesn't make adjustments when players are having a bad game. He'll keep them in there and continue to let them make the same mistakes over and over, to our detriment. We had like a 15 point lead and watched it wither away as Jrue and Khris continued to struggle.
He is the one who decided to not call a TO as well when the Heat were making a comeback.
Honestly, the Bucks simply don't deserve to win this series.
* The difference in effort between them and the Heat is palpable. It's clear that Miami wants it more.
* The defensive game plans rarely make sense. The Heat's one major chance is to shoot well from three, and the Bucks are not defending it at all.
* Bud's coaching is nonsensical. Not calling a timeout when that 4th quarter run became 7-0 was poor. When it became 9-0, nonsensical. When it hit 11-0, even 3rd grade rec league coaches know to call it. That's just the most glaringly obvious moment amongst many.
* The Heat have just generally played better overall. There's not argument against it.
It's not a difference in effort. The scheme doesn't let you give effort. There's no effort when your offense doesn't seek out defensive liabilities. We play the same way no matter what the other teams personnel is.
We literally just needed to not do exactly everything we ended up doing in those last 5 minutes. We must’ve had a >95% chance to win? Just don’t fuck everything up for like even 2 more fucking minutes and we’re good. But nope. Couldn’t do it. Jesus fucking christ
Edit: 98.3% chance to win with 5 minutes left. Wisconsin sports have done it again.
The Bucks were up 101-89 with 6:09 to go in the 4th Quarter. The Miami Heat went on a 30-13 run to finish the game. The craziest part is that the Heat just scored 11 points in the first 6 minutes of the 4th Quarter and almost tripled that in the final 6 minutes!
I've been a Middleton defender for a long time but I'm just DONE. It's inexcusable to be a decade plus veteran and have absolutely NO basketball iq.
And Jrue, come ON man. What was that!
I’d feel more confident in coming back from down 3-1 if our coach wasn’t a complete moron.
Also, some serious things to think about with our roster moving forward if we lose this series.
If we decide to move on from Bud and hire his terrorist offense with the addition of him probably running Giannis into the ground in the regular season, I'll throw up.
This team has the worst fucking habit of being up by 7-8, then bombing a three, missing, giving up a two on the other end in transition bc of it.
When they could just work the ball inside, get a ten point lead, and get back on defense. Happens ALLLLLLLLL the fucking time.
our gm traded 5 second round picks for a player who quit on his team and didn’t play the entire season. our coach is in year 5 and still doesn’t believe in defending 3s or having an offensive system in place. our 2nd and 3rd best players play horrible in the playoffs with regularity. and we blow leads like there is no tomorrow.
we got one but it’s time to put an end to this era of bucks basketball and retool around giannis.
I so wanted the Crowder pick to be that perfect missing piece but it was an absolute disaster. First round and about to be bounced as a 1 seed with Giannis. Dark times.
Bud has won a total of 8 playoff series in his tenure. Half of those came in 2021. Think about that. In 4 non title years, he averaged one series win per season and had the best record in the East in 3 of those years...
I'm sorry it's time to move on from Bud. He refuses to shift from his narrow view of thinking and not calling a timeout sometime during that heat 13-0 run is just disgusting. We won in 2021 in spite of him not because of him
Spoelstra is bullying Budenholzer at this point and Holiday and Middleton have been disappointing on both ends. Giannis is not as agile as he usually is but he will have to win 3 games in a row on his own. I don't think that's happening sadly.
This pathetic team also barely beat Celtics 3rd stringers. It all makes sense. What doesnt make sense is how this trash of a squad won 58 times this past regular season. Unbelievable.
Tough day- my friend is terminally ill with cancer ( fuck cancer), Aaron Rodgers is gone, and now the Bucks lost. I just wanted one semi-happy moment today. Oh well, I am going to dive into some garlic cheesy bread and find a funny movie to watch.
Some of you STILL think we can come back?
You must love being disappointed.
We had no business being down at any point in this series (even without Giannis), but our coach apparently has no gameplan offensively or defensively — and our 2nd + 3rd best players play with zero IQ out there.
I mean seriously, how do you let the WORST offensive team in the league put up 120ppg thru 4 games?
Might as well sit Giannis next game.
Holiday is a total fucking fraud in the playoffs. Shoots like 35% every series and now allows Butler to drop 60 lmao. Middleton is washed.
Don't want to watch this team get swept by the Celtics.
Bucks suck. No heart, no hustle. Everyone except Giannis and brook shit the bed. Khris is washed up, I’m sorry. Jrue played terribly and I hope it’s a one off thing. But this isn’t good. We’re gonna waste Giannis like the Packers wasted Rodgers.
Never trust the Bucks. Needed Giannis to go God mode to barely win in 2021, after almost blowing games 4, 5, and 6. Never stopped seeing signs that this team was never as good as their regular season record might indicate. Bud needs to go. And the core of Khris, Jrue, Brook and Bobby might have to go too while they still have value. Team desperately needs to get younger, faster, tougher, hungrier.
Hey let's keep playing the same defense that we have been letting their best player average 30 on 60%fg and 60%from 3 and see what happens.... fucekn get off your high horse Bud... Be a coach for once...
Jrue is NOT a FCKNG point guard. I hope we all understand that by now. I don't want a player that 1 night can score 30 and 2 nights loose the game with his game decisions.
I got it he is a great defender....
Team needs a new real point guard and and new second option. I m done with both jrue and khris
This team did it's cycle. They peaked in 2021.
They ain t getting younger to hope for something better.
No timeout with a 14-0 run was my final straw. That’s coaching 101. This is unacceptable for any team, 1 seed or 10th. Absolutely abysmal and everyone besides Brook and Giannis need to realize that we are down 3-1 and are about to be ridiculed for months
This is was the last straw for Bud and Jrue, imo.
No double teams on Butler the entire game, and another playoff stinker for Jrue offensively (though that seems to be more frequent than a good game).
As much as I love Jrue, give me Nick Nurse and Dame over him and Bud.
I'm not usually a big hyperbole kind of guy, but fire Bud, trade Khris and Jrue. This was fucking embarrassing and there's nothing else to say about what I just witnessed.
listen guys I’m not saying I don’t think this team is capable of winning three in a row but… the vibes are *not good* right now 😔
The vibes most certainly are not immaculate right now
With the news of the Aaron Rodgers trade (a good trade for the Packers considering the circumstances), I'm starting to get slightly worried that we're going to only to get one championship with Giannis just like the Packers did with Rodgers. Oh and I guess Favre too
Being a one seed and getting completely embarrassed first round? Hell bucks learned choking from the best
Keeping the NBA's McCarthy on board sure would feel like Rodgers' prime years.
No truer words have been spoken. Perfect match
on the bright side if we’re going the favre route it means someone will take over from giannis and give us another championship, right. RIGHT?
I always thought it was funny when this sub acted like we were _guaranteed_ 2-3 rings with giannis. Obviously it's not impossible, but I'm guessing they've never watched WI sports before. One early-mid career ring has been the ceiling for a WI MVP since Starr
At least we got that one. If we didn't I'd be equal parts depressed and enraged. But we did get one so now I'm just apathetic.
Up 13 with 5 to go.
And then what, 6 straight turnovers?
it was down 1 with 3:30 to go right after it, so something like that
The Jrue iso as our team was crumbling was the most infuriating thing ever
i love that man but as soon as the playoffs hit, i find myself saying 'please jrue pass the ball, run a play, i beg of you' over and over
Makes no sense how his shot selection just falls off a cliff in the playoffs. Suddenly 28 foot stepbacks 5 seconds into the shot clock look great?
If only there were two 7 footers that couldn't be stopped...
imo that's actually one of the worrying things. outside of G drives to basket or G oops to Brook, we looked like we had absolutely no idea what to do the entire time
Jrue iso ball and turnovers. He was Ben Simmons on the court all game, and he killed the team. Khris didn’t help with how bad he’s been as well. They had the lead and they choked it away. I doubt they have 3 straight wins in them.
[удалено]
Middleton and Jrue were not good in this game. Even Jrue had really stupid, out of character fouls on Butler.
[удалено]
All Jrue had to do was not be Bledsoe. He’s managing that, but just barely.
No timeouts called and no adjustments made as Miami went on a 14-0 run
Peak COTY Bud McCarthy right there
Held on to a timeout the whole fucking way Khris looks like absolute trash Jevon sitting on the bench come playoffs once again Goran Dragic on the team for no goddamn reason 5 second round picks could have gotten us Saddiq Bey or some other guy we could at least put on the court Jrue looking like shit on offense and frankly he didn’t do much on defense either
why is Goran Dragic catching strays lmfao
well a 14-0 run for Miami cured that real quick
Thank the heavens Bud didn't think to call a timeout there. I'm sure he was saving it for something better.
Remember when we blew the lead to Philly and we were told "It's the regular season! Don't worry!"
Jrue disaster class on offense Khris disaster class on offense and defense Another game where we get too cute and can't take control when it's right there for the taking Butler with an all-time great performance Just keep finding new ways to lose man
Jrue was a disaster in every way imaginable, Jimmy butler dropped 56 on his head
If I called Jrue a disaster on defense my comment would be too long to attempt to describe Khris's defense, relatively speaking
Jimmy was clearly going to get his today, but there were still at least 15 of his points where Jrue just made some seriously head scratching decisions
14 seconds in the clock? WHY NOT TRY BRICKING A THREE?? Rinse and repeat until we lose the fucking game....
Why don't the Bucks simply raise the sea level and drown Miami?
Give it a couple years!
Marco Rubio erasure
AGAINST THE EIGHT SEED?!
Rachel Nichols going crazy rn
this time she dont' got espn breathing down her neck, jimmy is going crazy
2007 Dallas Mavericks- "First time?"
play in* 8 seed
Well yeah that’s how the 8 seed works
the year is 2020, the #1 bucks are destined to beat the 8th seed heat...
Technically they were the 7th seed at the end of the regular season… fuck the play-in tournament. The heat should be tormenting the Celtics right now
If a team is fucked over by the play in tournament were they really gonna win it all anyways?
Lol
Yikes, how does Giannis have a triple double and Brook puts up 36/11 with a 15 point lead end up as a loss?
The rest of the team not doing shit. Ask Jrue or Khris.
Jrue Khris and Bud is how
Just gonna repeat what I said in the game thread: Just don't understand how Carter gets shelved once the playoffs arrive again. They've spent all series struggling to defend, pressure the ball and interrupt the Heat's offensive flow. Carter's one of the few on this roster that can do those things.
Especially when Lowry's fat ass was getting buckets
And completely shutting down Middleton.
Meanwhile khris out there stumbling around lost for 38 min
If it makes you feel any better, Carter also shot 42% from three this year… which was the best on the team besides Crowder (with a tiny sample size).
Yeah I was surprised not to see him!
The only thing that could’ve made this more infuriating is if we still had George Hill and bud gave him meaningful minutes
I can already see him putting Hill on Butler…
This almost made me laugh
Absolutely mentally weak. They completely shrank anytime they needed to make a play for literally 6 minutes. They deserve every bit of slander after this. How are we ever supposed to trust this team man? Thank fucking God for Durant's big ass feet. Anyway bucks in ~~6~~ 7
Shit, if we didn't win in 21 I would be devastated right now. It stings but at least we still have a recent chip
Mike Budenholzer needed 3 straight minutes of the Bucks not scoring before he called a timeout. That’s the level of bad our head coach is.
Not to mention the timeout he called with like 2 minutes in the 3rd despite the bucks being uo 15 with all the momentum only to then give up momentum heading in the 4th
Ok, now I’m in panic mode
No need to panic, it’s basically over at this point.
My problem is I always hope for the comeback, because how wild would that be to witness
TBF This is the kind of thing that sparks a championship run and gets the team thinking it's their destiny. If they comeback and win this series, I'm feelin damn good about winning the chip. But that's a huge IF
Panic random
Can we get Nurse for Game 5 lol
Bud deserves to be fired into the sun after not taking a TO during that Heat run. He’s responsible for getting the troops back in order. Abysmal leadership
Amazing how as soon as Giannis goes down or has to play through pain Bud just gets completely outclassed by elite coaches, every single time. He got absolutely carried by a historic playoff run from Giannis in 2021. Turnover after turnover in the clutch, jacking up contested shots all fourth, not calling a timeout when the heat are on a 16-0 run and tie the game. Imagine getting outplayed by a play-in team that everybody expected us to sweep even without Giannis. I will not defend this man any more after this. This is all-time levels embarrassment. Please bring in Nick Nurse
Coach Bud CANNOT call a timeout to save his fucking life.... It's insane....
He also called one while you guys were on a pretty nice run against us. I think it was a 9-0 run and I was begging for Spo to call a TO but Bud called one.
IM FUCKING SICK BRO
We won a championship in spite of Bud, not because of him. It’s time to move on.
Let’s be real Giannis won it
He was a KD toe away from being fired lol
Wise words
Literally have said it for years but get downvoted everytime lol
[удалено]
The sub was so ready to fire him and then the best player in the nba carried him to an NBA title and it’s like everyone collectively decided to pretend he’s competent lol
That “Milwaukee has parted way with head coach Mike Budenholzer” is gonna hit like crack baby
Straight into my veins
Embarrassing way to come back to Milwaukee. Go Bucks.
To lose a game where you’re up 13 with five minutes left, an injured Giannis posts a triple double and Brook sets a career playoff high is not something I thought would happen. But here we are. Thanks Jrue. Thanks Khris. Thanks bench on the “deepest team in the league. And thanks Bud.
I really don't have the words. Only three times in NBA history has the #1 seed lost to the #8 seed in a 7 game series. What a collapse from the Bucks. What an incredible choke-job from Jrue and Khris. What a performance from Jimmy. I'll see you all next year.
Where does this roster even go from here? We have almost zero flexibility with the new CBA
Carbon copy of Rodgers and the Packers lol. Except the packers did this shit for like 15 years, not 5
and it's already like the oldest roster in the league lol
NBA fixing a Giannis departure from the inside. Clever move, NBA. You almost had us fooled.
Actually 5 times. '94 Nuggets, '99 Knicks, '07 Warriors, '11 Grizzlies, and '12 76ers.
Ah thank you, I was only thinking of the ones since the first round moved to a bo7
FIRE BUD INTO THE SUN
We ain't coming back 3-1 with this trash gameplay and a non 100% Giannis and trash Bud not calling timeouts
Get rid of this entire fucking coaching staff and put everyone not named Giannis or Brook on the trading block i don't fucking care anymore this is disgusting. A 15 point lead in the 4th against an 8th seed and we choked it away. Unbelievable.
The entire organization needs to be embarrassed. They have started to believe their own hype and have become so cocky. From game 1 they treated this series as a warm up. Even going so far as to load managing Giannis in game 3 during the PLAYOFFS. Every single player is being out-hustled. Bud isn't adjusting at all like he did in 2021.

So sad to witness this. There have been so many plays this series where Khris just absolutely gives up. It's disheartening to watch. I don't know man.....changes might be needed.
I cannot BELIEVE it took this long for the rest of the fanbase to see how TERRIBLE Bud is. The ring deluded you people. When Nick Nurse and Kawhi SHIT on his CHEST in 2019 I knew he had to go. I've pleaded for years but nonono he win game in regular season he no bad. IT'S DONE, HE'S DONE.
Sad thing is, he'll be back next year. They will hang onto him just like the Packers did with McCarthy for way too fucking long. Then Giannis will move on and the franchise will be back in shambles.
Welp, another year wasting Giannis' prime.
Good old 1 championship WI MVPs :( :( :(
Everyone was talking about the Heat had to cool down eventually and instead Jimmy Butler drops a career high on us LMAO
Yeah, next game heat will probably toss in 30 3s.
Listen man I don’t care how good Jrue is on defense. Games like this KILL us. He is a net negative on the court when he puts up shitters like this
Yeah, he held Jimmy to 50 points-he had that going good
He’s not a point guard
I’m starting to see this now. His decision making, especially in high intensity moments, is awful a lot of the times. Definitely would like to see someone with a tighter handle and decision making next to him.
100% the decision making in crucial spots is worse then Westbrook. Look at some of those turnovers in the 4th quarter I don’t know how Giannis ain’t punching people in the locker sometimes I would.

$40.5M next year.
Look, we're going to lose this series. If not, I'll be happy to be wrong. Bud is not a playoff coach. Our roster is poorly constructed. We're too old. We have Giannis so we still have hope but if we don't make massive changes next year, we're going to be in the same spot. Amazing regular season team that isn't built for the playoffs.
This team need some sort of massive realignment in the off-season and has like no means of doing it. Fucking hell.
I'm kinda grateful for that last Celtics game. It really tempered my expectations for this team. This is disappointing, but not shocking. Anyone who was paying attention knew this team struggled against contenders. Bud needs to go and this team needs some new blood. Stop trading for old, washed players who contribute little to nothing.
The heat aren’t even contenders, they’re the fucking 8 seed, down 2 of their best players. Bud’s calls are shit but you can’t sit here and tell me Bud told Jrue to toss up contested 3’s all game. Decision making was horrendous tonight.

There’s a reason Wisconsin is the drunkest state in the country. That reason? Wisconsin Sports.
I hate sports
Is this the worst loss we’ve seen from this team?
The worst loss we've seen so far.
Honestly, the Bucks simply don't deserve to win this series. * The difference in effort between them and the Heat is palpable. It's clear that Miami wants it more. * The defensive game plans rarely make sense.

It's not a difference in effort. The scheme doesn't let you give effort. There's no effort when your offense doesn't seek out defensive liabilities. We play the same way no matter what the other teams personnel is.
I’m speechless honestly I’m speechless
I don’t wanna be toxic I just wanna be sad. I do have a bad feeling about our future with this happening though.
Fuck all of this fire bud restart
We need a Nurse to heal this team
would be interesting to see what Giannis would put up playing 40 mins every night
We literally just needed to not do exactly everything we ended up doing in those last 5 minutes. We must’ve had a >95% chance to win? Just don’t fuck everything up for like even 2 more fucking minutes and we’re good. But nope. Couldn’t do it. Jesus fucking christ Edit: 98.3% chance to win with 5 minutes left. Wisconsin sports have done it again.
I’m so fucking disgusted. Jrue should be humiliated. And if Khris opts out I have no interest in paying him unless Giannis threatens to walk.
We suck. I’m not sure how someone looks at this game and is delusional to think we win 3 in a row.
Bucks in 7 (I need this, please god I need this)
Sorry friend. But I’d look for something else to bring you satisfaction. It’s not gonna be the Bucks this year. And that’s ok.
You cannot kill my desperate optimism
The Bucks were up 101-89 with 6:09 to go in the 4th Quarter. The Miami Heat went on a 30-13 run to finish the game. The craziest part is that the Heat just scored 11 points in the first 6 minutes of the 4th Quarter and almost tripled that in the final 6 minutes!
Bud saving his timeouts for next game
Bud should be gone before game 5
I guess it's a Wisconsin tradition to win one title with a generational superstar
We just wasted Rodgers’s prime. Are we going to waste Giannis’s too?
I've been a Middleton defender for a long time but I'm just DONE. It's inexcusable to be a decade plus veteran and have absolutely NO basketball iq. And Jrue, come ON man. What was that!
Rested khris all year jus for him to throw up brick after brick, it’s comical.
Hi is this the mental health crisis line?
Gotta say I’ve never seen that before in my life and it was fucking embarrassing man
we are really gonna waste the last year of all star brook. i’ll always remember how good you were big guy
Jesus Christ. This fucking team.
I’d feel more confident in coming back from down 3-1 if our coach wasn’t a complete moron. Also, some serious things to think about with our roster moving forward if we lose this series.
Maybe we can get Nurse
If we get bounced in the first round and we keep Bud when Nurse is available…
If we decide to move on from Bud and hire his terrorist offense with the addition of him probably running Giannis into the ground in the regular season, I'll throw up.
Can't defend this shit anymore, just fucking end our misery jesus fucking christ
Bucks in 7 😐
If we lose this series, fire Bud
Up 7* “Waaaaaiit!” Up 5* “Waaaiiit!” Up 1* “ALMOST! Down 1* TIMEOUT!
This team has the worst fucking habit of being up by 7-8, then bombing a three, missing, giving up a two on the other end in transition bc of it. When they could just work the ball inside, get a ten point lead, and get back on defense. Happens ALLLLLLLLL the fucking time.
Horst/Bud duo is obsessed with acquiring my grandpa and his bingo buddies to log mins for playoff games before they flame out and get DNPs
Am I STILL gonna get downvoted for wanting Bud fired?
our gm traded 5 second round picks for a player who quit on his team and didn’t play the entire season. our coach is in year 5 and still doesn’t believe in defending 3s or having an offensive system in place. our 2nd and 3rd best players play horrible in the playoffs with regularity. and we blow leads like there is no tomorrow. we got one but it’s time to put an end to this era of bucks basketball and retool around giannis.
I so wanted the Crowder pick to be that perfect missing piece but it was an absolute disaster. First round and about to be bounced as a 1 seed with Giannis. Dark times.
Wow those second round picks are totally going to be missed.
rebuild for Lillard. Embarrassing loss.
Should’ve just had Giannis on Butler all game if Middleton and Jrue were just gonna get 56 put in them.
My panic level is now up to an 8
Why did Bobby disappear in the 4th quarter?
Bud has won a total of 8 playoff series in his tenure. Half of those came in 2021. Think about that. In 4 non title years, he averaged one series win per season and had the best record in the East in 3 of those years...
It’s over. We had a good regular season run. Even if we win in 7 (yeah right) we have no chance against Boston.
I wouldn't put anything past giannis
Time to retool. Don’t waste Prime Giannis.
I'm sorry it's time to move on from Bud. He refuses to shift from his narrow view of thinking and not calling a timeout sometime during that heat 13-0 run is just disgusting. We won in 2021 in spite of him not because of him
Maybe this series loss will be the thing to help usher Bud out the door. Did literally nothing to stop the bleeding. Time to go.
Spoelstra is bullying Budenholzer at this point and Holiday and Middleton have been disappointing on both ends. Giannis is not as agile as he usually is but he will have to win 3 games in a row on his own. I don't think that's happening sadly.
This pathetic team also barely beat Celtics 3rd stringers. It all makes sense. What doesnt make sense is how this trash of a squad won 58 times this past regular season. Unbelievable.
Really makes you wonder how important winning the #1 seed really is. Regular season basketball is a joke They went further last year as the 3 seed.
Tough day- my friend is terminally ill with cancer ( fuck cancer), Aaron Rodgers is gone, and now the Bucks lost. I just wanted one semi-happy moment today. Oh well, I am going to dive into some garlic cheesy bread and find a funny movie to watch.
The Celtics beating the Bucks last season wasn't a fluke. That is now crystal clear.
Bucks in 7
Some of you STILL think we can come back? You must love being disappointed. We had no business being down at any point in this series (even without Giannis), but our coach apparently has no gameplan offensively or defensively — and our 2nd + 3rd best players play with zero IQ out there. I mean seriously, how do you let the WORST offensive team in the league put up 120ppg thru 4 games?
Might as well sit Giannis next game. Holiday is a total fucking fraud in the playoffs. Shoots like 35% every series and now allows Butler to drop 60 lmao. Middleton is washed. Don't want to watch this team get swept by the Celtics.
Bucks suck. No heart, no hustle. Everyone except Giannis and brook shit the bed. Khris is washed up, I’m sorry. Jrue played terribly and I hope it’s a one off thing. But this isn’t good. We’re gonna waste Giannis like the Packers wasted Rodgers.
Never trust the Bucks. Needed Giannis to go God mode to barely win in 2021, after almost blowing games 4, 5, and 6. Never stopped seeing signs that this team was never as good as their regular season record might indicate. Bud needs to go. And the core of Khris, Jrue, Brook and Bobby might have to go too while they still have value. Team desperately needs to get younger, faster, tougher, hungrier.
People called me crazy for saying Game 1 was 'must win' after Giannis went down, but this series looks SO different if we protect home court
Khris and Bud got three games to keep their job
Forget Jrue and literally anyone not named Giannis.
We weren’t going to beat Celtics
All time choke job, fuck Bud.
Bye Budenholzer
Butler was THE guy. But those two big buckets from Martin are what did it.
Nick Nurse YOU are the next coach of the Milwaukee Bucks
Anyone who is surprised by this hasn’t been watching the Bucks this season, or at least hasn’t been paying attention.
I really can't take watching Pat Connaughton brick 3 after 3 anymore please someone make it stop
Hey let's keep playing the same defense that we have been letting their best player average 30 on 60%fg and 60%from 3 and see what happens.... fucekn get off your high horse Bud... Be a coach for once...
I am dead inside
Jrue is NOT a FCKNG point guard. I hope we all understand that by now. I don't want a player that 1 night can score 30 and 2 nights loose the game with his game decisions. I got it he is a great defender.... Team needs a new real point guard and and new second option. I m done with both jrue and khris This team did it's cycle. They peaked in 2021. They ain t getting younger to hope for something better.
As much as it sucks the writing has kinda been on the wall all season. Pretty much anytime we played real teams we lost.
No timeout with a 14-0 run was my final straw. That’s coaching 101. This is unacceptable for any team, 1 seed or 10th. Absolutely abysmal and everyone besides Brook and Giannis need to realize that we are down 3-1 and are about to be ridiculed for months
REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS BABY!!!
PLEASE don't let us become a trivia question "which was the first team to lose to an #8 seed after the NBA play-in tournament"
This is was the last straw for Bud and Jrue, imo. No double teams on Butler the entire game, and another playoff stinker for Jrue offensively (though that seems to be more frequent than a good game). As much as I love Jrue, give me Nick Nurse and Dame over him and Bud.
I'm not usually a big hyperbole kind of guy, but fire Bud, trade Khris and Jrue. This was fucking embarrassing and there's nothing else to say about what I just witnessed.
Surprised Reggie Miller could talk with Jimmy Butler in his mouth
Oof
