  1. why is Giannis even in the game with 5 seconds left. What does he bring at that time down 3?

  2. jgatch2001

    Can someone explain to me why our best FT shooter in Lillard was inbounding there

    It’s not just a Doc problem because this happened multiple times under Griffin as well…

  3. He obviously missed the 2nd on purpose

    Hopefully at least

  4. NevermoreSEA

    Brook taking that three honestly broke my brain a little bit.

  5. ZoroChopper10

    Couldn’t happen to a better player, got his coach fired and gave doc rivers 40 million to do nothing lol

  6. cough_landing_on_you

    Doc really drew that up to Giannis where he knew Portland could foul him…and you also take away one of your best offensive rebounder.

  7. dude gotta fix his timing, he got rushed on that first one lol

  8. Only caught the ending but did Doc burn too many timeouts?

  9. Gristle__McThornbody

    Time to fire Doc Rivers honestly. Maybe bring back Buddenholzer.

  10. Schoolboynephew

    Whether Portland decided to foul or not, Dame taking the ball out there is incomprehensible. Dame gets the ball and gets to the line on a foul or Dame time from the logo for a decent chance of tying. Just poor awareness all around.

  11. Why were they chucking threes with like 7 seconds left down by 1 when they have giannis on the team

  12. Dusty_Negatives

    Masterclass by Doc down the stretch. Left himself no timeouts and then has lilliard inbound to worst shooter on team. Nice to run into a team coached worse than us.

    The later stages of giannis’s career will be fascinating. I don’t think he has elite skills when it comes to basketball, and when he can’t outrun/jump people it’ll be a quick and sharp decline

  14. WHERE_R_THE_TURTLES

    With an opportunity to close the deficit to 1*

  15. LuckyTaterTot

    If they didn’t let Giannis truck his way to the basket or bail him out and send him to the line he’d be so mid

  16. Padulsky21

    I can’t stand watching this dude take FTs 😭😭😭

  17. Common-Tea5746

    Giannis doesn’t give the ball to dame back period. He refuses to run any 2 man actions bc he seems to not know how or want to develop a new style of playing

  18. datruerex

    Not pertaining to this clip but the bucks continue having problems on defense and this ain’t something doc can really fix

  19. Fresh_Ostrich4034

    Adrian Griffin laughing his ass off still getting paid by the bucks.

  20. noochies99

    Hey that other post with the ovation has me confused… I thought the Blazer’s fans loved Dame, why would they count and make his new bff nervous??? /s

  21. FetalAlcoholPhilly

    Philly fans watching this laughing their ass off.

  22. spaceysht

    Firing bud to end up with doc is some garbage franchise level front office decision making

  23. Cheese-Monkey

    Equipment manager gotta wash the jerseys better

  24. Status_Pea1404

    This thread really brought out the haters lol. Now giannis is mid apparently

  25. NoWayNotThisAgain

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coach mold a team in his image this quick. It’s honestly impressive.

  26. pentbuttrwhy

    If he’d just shoot the damn thing instead of taking 5 years to think about his percentage would skyrocket

    Good shooters are thoughtless

  27. Warlord10

    Did Giannis realise that he doesn’t get the free chicken when playing away? He probably tried to save some scratch as usual.

  28. PokkyDeska

    Honestly, every time I see him at the free throw line it just makes me wonder how he was able to make all those free throws in the finals. It can’t be a mental thing when that’s just about as much pressure as you can receive in a championship moment. The dude just wanted to win and forced them in cause he is so bad at the line.

  29. Ozymandiassss

    i just don’t understand how a professional ball players mechanics can be so terrible lol. like does anyone on the bucks staff even try to fix his shit?

    bro is literally using only his arms to shoot these free throws, why is he even bending his knees and extending and all that shit if he just gonna pause at the top and shoot solely with his arms on his tippy toes lmfao.

    i’ll never understand this shit, he looks like he’s just EMULATING shooting mechanics without any understanding or intuitiveness, 8 year olds can grasp this shit man

  30. People surprised by docs decisions of having Giannis be out there should do themselves a favor and remember when we begged him to have Ben out of late game situations in the fucking playoffs and he called us stupid. This man then threw him under the bus on national television after knowing he shouldn’t have been in that position. All whole stifling our young talents development because he’s a petty asshole who knows better than them.

    Doc is a clown and sadly will tank away potentially one of dames last good seasons and another year of Giannis’ prime.
