4, we should not be down to a barely above .500 team

10 I’ve never seen a team consistently brick open shots like this one. Either they’re on fire and making everything, or they turn into the professional bricklayers.

I think we’re a first round exit. I said it once before and people got pissed, but we’ve steamrolled through a lot of teams missing their star players in the regular season. What you’re seeing now is a team struggling to stay consistent from game to game. Swinging from blowout win to blowout loss is not how elite teams play. It’s going to take a massive streak of luck to get us out of this, and they’re too streaky to pull it off. This isn’t 2021, the comparisons need to stop

Alarmed but still confident. I think we can win the next 3 games but there’s a lot of changes needed for that to happen.

Where are all the people saying giannis should rest this whole series because the bucks don’t need him against Miami? That was the overwhelming consensus I saw about 5 hours ago

Six.
The Bucks’ defensive lineup just looked way too slow tonight at times.
Obviously Giannis being back would compensate for a lot of their problems.
They have to figure out their perimeter defense. I’d much rather have Carter out there more if for no other reason than him running guys off the 3-point line, getting in their face and speeding things up.
You can’t keep going under screens or playing off shooters. That should’ve been apparent after they knocked down a handful in a row, but most of them kept giving inadequate effort.

4-5. The fact that were getting worked by Duncan Robinson who had been benched all season is alarming.leaving him open like he’s Eric Bledsoe, why? Why cant jae crowder start and guard jimmy? I had no idea a Wesley Matthews absence from round 1 would be sorely missed

4. We’re having a lot of postgame doomerism right now, but we’re the 1 seed for a reason and turnovers were terrible that game

It’s a 10. We have been completely manhandled twice now. We have to win 3 of the next four to advance. And if giannis comes back for game 4 I’m afraid he will think he needs to be the hero. He will try to force the action and spolestra is the best coach in the league at stopping giannis when he is the primary ball handler. Giannis can play hero ball against certain teams, not the heat. Bucks only chance of advancing is if jimmy is seriously injured and can’t play the rest of the series but i don’t think that’s the case.

I’m just pissed off. Not worried unless they say Giannis is done.

6. 7 if Giannis can’t go on Monday.

3 for me. I’m a fan not a player and as much as I want them to win every year I’m just glad we got one. My first year watching was the 8 seed team with Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings. I never thought a title would happen, so seeing Giannis and Khris go from that 17 win team to a championship is all the perspective I need to weather this.

5. Shooting comes and goes but poor defensive effort and turnovers were killer. On the other hand, take away Joker from the nuggies or Embiid from Philly and how good are either of those teams? Turns out losing your mvp fucking sucks

Was about a 6, then I started watching Laker/Grizz and im down to a 3. Things can always be worse 😬

Im feeling like a 7 rn. We cant hype our team as having one of the deepest benches in the league and then get outplayed this badly by the 8th seed. Still hopeful though.

There was definitely some screaming and flailing done tonight.

Better warm up the suicide bus it’s supposed to be cold next week

Just seems to be a lock of urgency combined with outlier shooting. It blows my mind the Heat put up less than 100 in a do-or-die play in game, yet can shoot over 55% from 3 to start this series.
