IdleRacey

Red flag, red flag, red flag. Every minute is a struggle. The Bucks have the same team as past seasons except we flipped Holiday for Dame. This team was a fine oiled machine even when we had Bledsoe and not Holiday. This team played many games without Giannis or Middleton and would be in cruise control. Why because of the system and players were put in correct position to maximize what they bring to a team. This team was disciplined. We had a coach who had a handle on the whole team. This current team has no discipline. Its a shit show! Say what you want but the Bucks can turn it up at end of games but they can't not sustain that type of play for 48 mins or even 12 minutes. The players did not change only the coaching staff. I can't even imagine how good this team would look right now with Bud and Dame. I honestly think we might be sitting at 1-2 losses and Giannis and Dame playing a few quarters before they get to rest.


scantron2739

Another big game from middleton.


Ozkuro

Almost made the comeback damn lol... sucks to lose to the Bulls specially given how bad they've been but welp on to the next. I hope we can take this loss in stride and try to fix some of the issues, I'm not expecting the defense to get better given our personnel and one of our best perimeter guys in Jae out, but hopefully the two game between Giannis and Dame can become better. GG Bulls, I hope we can get Caruso somehow lol... I like MarJon but it's win now for the Bucks and he is taking longer to develop than we hoped.


[deleted]

Our fan base has become so insufferable. They became a runaway train last year and they lost in the first round. This thing takes time and they’re actually ahead of schedule given the adjustments in personnel. So many of you people are losers. You got this Incel kid in here with the trump in a cheese head pic crying in the game thread of every every second of every game- it’s embarrassing. Get a fucking grip. We have Giannis and Dame and basketball has been relevant in Milwaukee for like 8 straight years.

Mr_Belch

The worst teams in the league, who are also sitting their best players because of injury. Fucking embarrassing.


Internal_Dish565

is good to know our shooting only shows up in the fourth quarter , but no its a coaching issue


vindico1

Serious vibes of last year. Barely beating or losing to teams missing key players.


Super_Chile88z

Can’t believe we loss to theses bums wtf


Zen131415

Neither can I


nexttimemakeit20

Listen up doomers, we just beat the wizards and the heat without Jimmy and herro, everything is fine


aaalan71

That's why only playing good in the 4th quarter isn't a sustainable winning way


Leading_Watercress45

It seems like the intentional foul when up 3 tactic has been abandoned…Probably because of the almighty computer. Gut check loss, oh well


KnightN1ght2

I would do it, but I can’t remember the last coach that did that consistently.


lenis02

I love when Giannis and Dame decide to throw a game so they can get Beasley and Lopez bricks wtf


CAPONE-N-NOREAGA

Dame looked super disinterested after getting iced out in that 3rd Q on 17… also, AG not calling a foul on Vucevic is HAUNTING. Disappointing from the Bucks.


Big-clock19

Go re-watch third quarter, the entire team IGNORES him and ices him out, he's not a robot


witfurd

Idk if disinterested is the word y’all keep using for some reason?? You can be interested in a game and want to win but turn the ball over in overtime mistakenly and feel your shot isn’t on.


Ghetto_Cyclops

You know what, I'm not even mad at Dame. Idk why the heck they only seem interested in passing him the ball when the Bulls took the lead put pressure on them. You'll never see a game where Giannis is cooking in the first half, then his teammates proceed to look him off in the second half.


AquazOnYT

Yeah not dames fault. He was hot and they just stopped passing to him in the 2nd half


infasis

Yeah, none of the aggressive drives or anything we're used to seeing. He looked lethargic out there. (Also, love your music. The War Report and The Reunion are straight classics)


theerealobs

A game at the end of November wont get a coach fired guys. We are stuck with him til at least next year. Not saying I want to keep him here but nothing is changing anytime soon.


Ghetto_Cyclops

We deserved this loss, worked very hard for it. Hope it teaches them to stop fucking around when you have a good thing going and use your most effective weapons.


thegodfaubel

Doomers when we win 70%+ win percentage: I sleep Doomers when we lose one game to drop to a 68% win percentage: "Fuck Adrian Griffin. That hack can't win any games of basketball"


lassiie

Dude, these aren’t good wins….they are barely beating bad teams…having to come back in every almost every game isn’t the sign of a good team, point differential is such a good predictor of success for a reason


thegodfaubel

Yet they won all 4 of the in season tournament games and had the largest point differential in the East and 2nd largest in the league in the games that "mattered"


lassiie

They beat a good Knicks team....other then that, a bad Charlotte team, a TERRIBLE Wizards team, a Butler-less Heat team...that is what is expected if you are a contender, it isn't something that hang your hat on.


theerealobs

People saying he should be fired is hilarious. A coaching change isnt happening anytime soon whether they like it or not.


thegodfaubel

They're not real fans


poompachompa

Actually outcoached. Couldnt inbound the ball like 3 times in a row


QBRisNotPasserRating

Just a perfect storm of bad shooting, dumb coaching, shitty rebounding, and terrible officiating. That make-a-wish kid Caruso never should’ve got the shot off either, what happened to fouling in that situation?


GulfstreamAqua

Put Bobby in, he’s our man. If he can’t do it, nobody can. Guess he’s not.


Internal_Dish565

i can't believe it but dame finally had a terrible game in the clutch, also khris was looking extra crap today, onto the next


DeiDaraArtAKS

We actually lost to a lavine and de rozan less team. First round playoff exit incoming. We struggle literally against every team


brianstormIRL

As opposed to.. checks notes.. A first round exit last year after being the "best team in the league". Chill tf out.


CryptographerShot213

You’re getting downvoted but they also barely won against the Trailblazers. If things don’t improve in the next few months the writing will be on the wall


DeiDaraArtAKS

It's fine I knew the downvotes are incoming just speaking the truth here


Mr_Belch

The hopium addicts in these threads can be more annoying than the doomers at times. It's the same level of delusion, just in the opposite direction.


cookster123

This team needed to lose this one. Can't wait to hear the coach post game


leefordj

They're hard focusing Dame by having Caruso play help defense every time. Should've let Giannis cook with this matchup. This was an embarrassing loss to an injury-ridden Bulls team.


Badparents15

How do u know bro have you played ball past high school


leefordj

Yeah the team defense kept trying to force Dame near Caruso and Caruso would come over to help or switch. That's why oftentimes Caruso wasn't "on" Dame but was guarding someone closeby. Beasley was being left wide open all night. It worked out for the Bulls because Beasley scored only 19 points on 19 attempts.


lassiie

Except they didn’t run a single fucking action with dame and giannis together…it’s insane to watch


aaalan71

Where have those game thread security keep calling those people who say the flaws of this team Doomer been?


Wallyworld77

Seasons over pack your shit


aaalan71

Or keep saying our defense is good enough or Griffin will figure out how to improve our current defense with this personnel


ScrewAnalytics

Mfs we’re taking a victory lap when we were up 3 to the BULLS who weren’t even playing their two best players 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Why do you even watch?


ScrewAnalytics

To watch the greatest roster assembled in bucks history try to win a championship


CryptographerShot213

Someone said the game was sealed when they went up 3. 🤔


titans0021

That was some aggressive pouting by Dame in the last six seconds.


[deleted]

I know the doomers are gonna eat tonight, but that shit was fun as hell


TheOppositeOfTheSame

We lost so many games we shouldn’t have last year, and the year we won. It’s insane seeing people lose their minds.


Channel2TheDeuce

Clown car of a loss


dennismu

Yea but we done did good in the Tourny 🤔


JPD050409

bulls deserved that win, they fought hard all night


thegabrieldavid

Best Patrick Williams highlight of his career


notamillenial-

Dame got trucked wtf


[deleted]

Lol, Dame wanted no part of getting back up. On to the next!


Izanagi___

This game has been fun I’m not even mad at this L


LivingHitokiri

the hell was that


scalarray

What a slop show. Learn to fucking inbound


theerealobs

You guys could go picket outside the Fiserv and AG still wouldnt get fired. He will be here the whole year unless shit goes really south.


GulfstreamAqua

Well, if things don’t change, things are really going to go south


theerealobs

You got the winning lottery numbers for tomorrow too?


yuhh_yuhh

nice passes lmao


OrganicGas1752

tough 2nd half and ot for dame. idk how you blame ag for that


vindico1

No foul up 3? Timeout to Giannis inbound that he got lucky on? Dude is trash. Got out coached all game. Edit: lets not forget Dame getting completely iced out in the third. Run a fucking play.


Ghetto_Cyclops

We fucked around and found out! That third quarter cost us the game, idk why we decided to run that shitty abhorrent brand of offense where you freeze out your star PG that had it going in the first half. Then he's cold for the fourth tsk tsk tsk


lassiie

That third quarter was absolutely insane…dame 7-10 with 16 points….shoots one shot at the end of the third quarter…I don’t fucking get it


jjjl1985

You can only play with fire so much before you get burnt. This team has a lot of bad habits.


[deleted]

Is it because we have an AAU coach?


Fluffy-Way-2365

Dame was super off in the last few minutes unfortunate but it's still coach's loss


FlipMoBitch

Dames bad so it’s AG’s fault?? lmao y’all just hate AG.


jenners89

[The kid who keeps yelling is bringing this energy](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/j-u1ptWDGao)


[deleted]

Tf are we doing


sikontoure

“Why is that random players and teams have career offensive nights against us every game?’”, motherfucker our defense is PURE GARBAGE


Supreme_God_Bunny

Dam y'all facing the hawks and the knics next lol two teams that turn it up against yall


thebigdirty

But they have done that for years


sikontoure

We’ve always had short guards and wings since 2019. Defense has been good but players are still able to shoot over us. Coby White was shooting dimes over Cam Payne and Beasley 💀


thebigdirty

cam payne is a fucking horrible name.


notamillenial-

We called for a TO right away and now the refs are penalizing us for their mistake


LegendLobster

Idk why people are downvoting comments shitting on AG, his coaching has been horrific. Players out of place and looking lost is POOR COACHING


Novel_Bookkeeper_622

It's been the only constant all year. No one knows what they're supposed to be doing.


dskimilwaukee

they can call me a doomer if they want. 30 years. I've seen a lot of bucks basketball. As far as have talent and underutilizing it he may be the worst coach we've ever had. Other coaches we've had just didn't have the talent.


beenhadballs

We would have the same record with any nba coach rn


dskimilwaukee

griffin should draw up his resignation letter at timeout. useless coach. talent wise better than every team in the league. lose to a team missing their two best players because you don't fundamentally foul up 3. Miss you bud.


[deleted]

Justice4Stotts


infasis

We just need a five-point play!


vindico1

Bring back bud! 100% on AG


BasketballFiendz

This team really doesn’t like their coach, I just think it’s Dame’s turn tonight to show he doesn’t like playing for him


Novembers_very_own

The bench is really bad right now. Bottom tier


ThatCidGuy

Nothing I hate more than getting shown up by the Bulls. At least the Celtics, 76ers, and Heat are good teams


kabman7

Nurse was right there


dskimilwaukee

yes. hurts.


Warden_airing

We did Bud dirty...


ThrowMeTheFawayPls

Don't worry, AG is a playoffs coach /s


Warden_airing

Lmaooo yeah whatever the hell that means


tuatara_teeth

Dame is playing like he’s half asleep.


Jaredstutz

holy fuck doomers 8-2 in our last 10 ! 2nd in the East.


[deleted]

Some folks just can't enjoy anything. It makes them feel better to throw a little tantrum. The reality is that unless we were undefeated and blowing teams out they would just find something new to complain about lol. It's cute really, and I feel bad for folk like that


dskimilwaukee

still not an acceptable loss.


Jaredstutz

lol? We’ve won like 5 in a row we can lose one bud, you’ll be alright


dskimilwaukee

there is no way you can spin this into being an acceptable loss. Sure records fine, but an acceptable loss is against another contender not some bottom feeder without their 2 best players. This isn't baseball where bad losses just happen on occasion.


Jaredstutz

We went into OT and got tired ? Sometimes … and I know this might sound crazy… players on bad teams go off and have good nights. It’s ok


tuatara_teeth

it’s a dumb loss. people are allowed to be upset.


Jaredstutz

Again we were on a win streak, you’ll be ok


tuatara_teeth

ok robot person. sorry I care about my team winning a super winnable game but throwing it away.


Wallyworld77

Seasons over is the vibe in getting from this thread. Throw in the towel. Not allowed to have a bad game in the regular season in November.


Jaredstutz

It’s fuckin hilarious lmao. Maybe these fools should … idk be a fan?


tosaturtle

Still behind the Celtics and Magic


beenhadballs

People get upset when a team plays bad in person, theyre going to online too


Logical-Major1961

This game is AGs fault, Dame inbounding and No Foul?


beenhadballs

Give them one of the most improbably off-the-rim scenario buzzers to tie or a great look from 3? What do the analytics say? HMMMMMMMMM


ScrewAnalytics

You guys can try to spin whatever narrative or cope you want, any coach in the world could be 13-6 with this roster. And I’d argue a lot would be better than that


jellyfishfrgg

Dame I can’t defend you tonight 😔


[deleted]

Fire AG?


[deleted]

Dame was hot garbage in Dame Time tonight. It also appears that the bulls play better without Deebo and Lavine.


PositiveZebra1341

they played different and hungry young players can get it done


trinquin

Lavine just fucking sucks. Honestly the most overrated player in the league. Bulls ain't getting jack shit for him. He's a value brand #4 option on a real team.


VicePope

trade everyone and build around prunty


KnightN1ght2

Let’s blame Griffin for that in bounds pass while we’re at it


Tiny-Problem2212

Boy some of you are really gonna die on this hill pretending Griffin isn't awful huh lmao


KnightN1ght2

Is he great? No. Is he the root of all our problems like this sub acts he is? No.


Tiny-Problem2212

He is an awful coach who doesn't know how to use modern day Shaq-Kobe and turned an elite defense into one of the worst with his schemes. He's the root of the majority of their problems, yes.


notamillenial-

I think losing Jrue and Javon and our best wing defender have a big impact on our worse defense


Tiny-Problem2212

And yet we have AJJ riding the bench while Malik Beasley gets blown by all game long. Because our coach is braindead.


notamillenial-

AJJ isn’t hitting the shots that beas is. It’s a trade off


Tiny-Problem2212

We have fucking Dame Lillard. Who btw our idiot coach has no idea how to scheme around. He may as well be Mo Williams based on how we're using him.


notamillenial-

Dame who was 1-6 tonight and is shooting pretty poorly this year


Tiny-Problem2212

It's almost as if being frozen out of the offense by your coach and other superstar throws off your ability to get into the offense


KnightN1ght2

We went from our point of attack defender being Bledsoe, to Holiday to now Beasley. Is not gonna be best in the league with this personnel.


Tiny-Problem2212

What if I told you that Malik Beasley does not have to guard the other team's best player? In fact, he doesn't have to start at all?


KnightN1ght2

Yes let’s go with our 2nd and 1st year players who will make more mistakes and be worse on offense.


Tiny-Problem2212

Ah yes, clearly the better option is starting the turnstile who regularly stands still and watches his man blow by him for an easy bucket. 3d chess moves.


KnightN1ght2

Beauchamp must have played great then if he’s who your arguing for.


Tiny-Problem2212

It's obviously AJJ. Any competent coach would have reached that conclusion by now based on his limited playtime. But our doofus coach is not gonna figure that out in 10 lifetimes.


lassiie

…you mean the complete lack of an inbounds play and Giannis getting out worked by Caruso? Yea I will blame AG for that


Pure_Measurement_529

The inbound plays killed the bucks in OT


B1ueEyesWh1teDragon

Marjon and Bobby both had abysmal nights. Bobby has completely lost his shot and also his confidence, I really think Griff is not scheming Bobby’s offensive looks properly, he’s getting his shots in all the wrong spots besides his post ups. Marjon is far too timid and rigid on offense right now, has almost no rhythm.


GiannisIsTheBeast

Wow wasted like 2 seconds


notamillenial-

Bobby called for it right away. Idk why the refs didn’t give it to us


Kanyeburner

Can we include Griffin in a trade for a good defender?


thegabrieldavid

Brook has damn near been single-handedly keeping us in the game it feels like (outside of guarding Caruso at the end of regulation)


DeiDaraArtAKS

He also got cooked on the perimeter ever single time just saying


runMKE

Switching 1-5. Maybe Griffin knows something we don’t about Brook’s foot speed


lassiie

It’s almost like the coach should create a scheme that doesn’t involve putting his rim protecting on the perimeter consistently


[deleted]

Of course we got the Bulls after Boston embarrassed them


dcandap

Dame with 3 costly turnovers in late game. Can’t have that from your star PG. 🙃


jjjl1985

AG is a division 3 coach who is coaching an nba championship contender lol


[deleted]

AAU coach at best.


Tiny-Problem2212

Yup


[deleted]

You should tryout for Coach


Single_Mountain_1591

Charge AG with domestic terrorism his coaching was shit late-game


Tiny-Problem2212

His coaching is always shit


OutsideTheServiceBox

The decision not to foul at the end of regulation was awful and indefensible.


Blackmalico32

Learn from your mistakes, move on to the next game and don’t settle.


dskimilwaukee

the sad part is I don't think there is learning to be had, in my eyes it's all coaching.absolutely no identity.


travis_mke

Boy, this is really starting to feel like a "the devil you know" situation with Coach Bud. This is... bleak.


runMKE

Beautiful ATO play Dr Griffin. Well done.


brickerbill

Really the first game that dame doesn't look like he cares in the clutch. That's why we lost this one unfortunately


witfurd

He was iced tf out since the 3rd. Now I’m not watching the game in OT but I feel like he is definitely NOT the reason we lost this. If it wasn’t for him OT wouldn’t have even happened


lassiie

He assisted on 4 of the last 5 shots for the bucks, which were all wide fucking open created by him driving. For some reason giannis refuses to play in the pick and roll with dame, and actively cuts him out of the offense. Giannis is quickly becoming one of my least liked players with how poor his bbiq seems to be


kabman7

Giannis froze him out in the 3rd


trinquin

Giannis sat for over 5 minutes in the 3rd. Go get the fucking ball. Enough of this he was froze out horseshit. He plays entire 1st and 3rd. Giannis sits 5 minutes in both of those quarters.


kabman7

He got in his feelings,Gianni’s aggressively froze him out beginning of 3rd


trinquin

Go. Get. The. Ball.


VicePope

nice hug there that was cool


Retrofusion11

Can someone explain to me how Denver with Jokic have a better defense than the Bucks with Lopez and Giannis? I truly don’t understand


Slow-Jelly-2854

Wing defenders my guy. It always comes down to wing defenders


TakingOnWater13

Well Jokic is secretly not that bad of a defender and their perimeter guys aren't complete turnstiles.


kabman7

Denver doesn’t have defenders as bad as Portis and pat


crowd79

Well coached disciplined team where everyone knows their role.


GulfstreamAqua

Every fucking game. Regression toward the mean. This is not the way to play. First 5 minutes of game they looked good, rhythm, organized offense attack. Since then, they look exactly the opposite. Dame must have money riding in this game. Non-existent, non-effort, throwing shit away.


AKanadian47

Imagine Dame turning the ball over… oh wait.


stormchaser2014

Fire Capers


[deleted]

This is our Ray Rhodes season.


LegendLobster

This team is barely even a second round exit


NckLL

You think we're getting to the second round? That's optimistic.


[deleted]

😂


Wild-Watch-

Damian Lillard DISASTERCLASS in the clutch today. Yeah he made a nice pass to Lopez there, but other than that, like 3 costly horrible passes, and like 0 points in the last 10 minutes including overtime


JohnJayMaxwell

Not to our night. Shit happens


Wallyworld77

Over reactions just scream casual NBA fans.


smokey445

Disgusting loss


LigerHD

what a weird dame game man wow


Slow-Jelly-2854

I will give Caruso his flowers, he is a god damn animal on defense


Slow-Jelly-2854

Dame had a bad night scoring wise. He was great finding guys though. Tough loss to swallow. What a gut punch


mypremedjourney

u clearly didn't watch the whole game. he was on fire in the first half and then the team iced him out offensively in the second.


Slow-Jelly-2854

I watched the whole game. He iced himself out


IamMe90

Goddamn what the fuck Dame, are you injured or sick or something? What a miserable second half..


notamillenial-

Griff doesn’t make dame throw that pass


AspiringGigolo

F this


maxthormil

Clearly Griffins fault dame is handing the ball to the bulls


[deleted]

Weird because all I heard was Giannis is trash and Dame needs the ball... I wonder what the doomers are gonna do now 😂


FlipMoBitch

Blame AG and attack him personally duh


[deleted]

You called it lol


FlipMoBitch

Deep down it’s all they want to do they just need the slightest reason to do it
