    If we aren’t getting AJax/Marjon minutes at the end of a 5 game road trip with 3 starters out and Giannis in foul trouble, we aren’t going to see them the rest of the year. I simply don’t understand it–AJax has completely changed the momentum of so many games this year, instead we have to watch black hole Bobby and Pat’s room temperature IQ defense as the game slowly slips away

  2. Kirby-69420

    How did we keep this game close with 3 of our starters out and yet we can’t win a game against a shitty Utah and Portland team with Damn near a full roster

  3. Sucking sucks. Sucking when we have the lineup we do is just stupid, injuries be damned.

  4. americanbeaver

    Fought real hard the whole game to keep it within a single digits loss. Not terrible considering who didn’t play on the Bucks. Kinda sucked to see the guys get undercut a few times.

  5. ScrubyScruby

    Honestly super proud of a lot of the guys effort, without three starters on the road at the end of a tough road trip. Even though it’s been tough as we are 9-10 in our last 19 just remember we have Giannis and no one else does. We move to the next.

  6. This is the best 1-4 we could’ve asked for tbh. Lots to like about Doc’s adjustments & experiments so far, and I’m gonna trust that some of the roster questions will be answered after the deadline.

    I’d feel much worse if we were still playing cheeks defense with low energy & effort. We’ve improved in these important ways – the offense will return quickly. April is coming and I believe we can be serious contenders.

  7. brickerbill

    Losing once again sucks, but this road trip wasn’t all that bad, all things considered. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out as guys come back and Doc gets to implement more stuff.

  8. WhileDizzy4503

    If this team gets it figured out, (along with any trade that gets Bobby and Pat off the team,) they have enough talent to beat anyone in the playoffs. I truly believe that.

    Losing like this doesn’t matter. What does matter is working out the wrinkles. And I honestly think it’s happening. One thing is clear: Doc, Giannis, and Dame are laser focused on winning.

    Also, unless I am mistaken, this team has DAWG.

  9. If that was Pat and Bobby’s last game, happy for them for their time here, a lot of big moments for the two of them. Can’t wait to see what Horst has in store for us!

  10. bigpuffyclouds

    Embarrassing win by the Suns against a depleted Bucks team.

  11. beenhadballs

    Doc can’t shoot free throws for em. Solid look from the hospital Bucks though.

  12. Skeleboi846

    Can’t be mad at it, hung close even with 3/5 starters out. Move should be coming, and I think this game is the perfect example of why moving Bobby & Pat is just a no brainer.

    1-5 is rough on paper but the change in the defense, the change in the way the players have come out with energy and effort and the grittiness we’ve played with since the Doc signing is undeniable.

    Hopefully the long homestand into the all star break gives this team time to get right and ready for the final stretch

  13. TeamNoBoat

    20 fouls to 18. 24 free throws to 25. The refs couldn’t call an even game if they were betting on it

  14. SceneDry5814

    Losing to the big 3 suns by only 8 with 3 of our starters missing. Yea, I’m not moved by the suns at all.

  15. Colorapt0r

    This game was an L in the standings and in my heart as soon as Khris went out 

  16. Would’ve won if Middleton is not hurt, but let’s not burn him on these regular season games. We got some young guys to step up. Oh they got DNPs…

  17. TeamNoBoat

    Another game decided by the refs. Can’t say I’m surprised anymore

  18. Kanyeburner

    Doomers should just go to bed. 3 of our starters didn’t play today

  19. Superflissbro

    This road trip sucked eggs but if you were expecting to win most of these games idk what to tell you. The fact that we kept it to single digits with the lineups we were throwing out there tonight is a minor miracle.

  20. Ghostofclaybobpast

    Absolute masterclass from the suns. Bucks down 2 starters, suns try and injure the rest of the players out there. They flex after every single made shot and complain to the refs after every miss. KD looked like he wanted to hang a banner after this one.

  21. Mustard_Jam

    Pat is a damn near G leaguer getting legitimate minutes. Have mercy 

  22. Nebulaizer

    So sick of coping with these close losses. Hospitsl Bucks tonight but my god our bench is ASS.

  23. Jack12404

    1. Horst better trade Bobby and Pat before the deadline. I can’t watch another season of them on this team.

    2. I’d prefer to trade Cam Payne if he can net us a better bench piece, but I wouldn’t hate keeping him because he was the only guy outside of Giannis that looked like he cared about winning tonight.

    3. We should be calling up Bismack Biyimbo right now. Our big man depth is atrocious and I don’t see how he could be worse than Robin.

    It seems like our roster is gonna look really different in the next 48 hours, I trust Horst.

  24. Entertaining, acceptable game given the circumstances. Pretty much had 3 of our best 4 players out, and the refs did us no favors tonight.

    Despite the record, I seriously think Doc has this team going in the right direction. Anxiously awaiting the trade deadline.

    Get Pat and Bobby off the team. I’ll take anything at this point, especially for unloading Pat.

  25. Zestyclose-Dare-769

    It’s weird how I know I’d miss them, but at the same time I really want Bobby and Pat out of this team. Just play Giannis at the 5 when resting Brook.

  26. CupOfHotTeaa

    prepare the thank you video for bobby pat cam marjon

  27. CaptainJYD

    Don’t mind this loss, all things considered. But dam I really do not want to see Pat get any more minutes. He is absolutely atrocious, in every facet he is unable to not hurt us let alone help

  28. x2sudemir

    Pat actually had a solid shooting night but the +/- don’t lie

  29. celestialpraire

    The defense has been super encouraging this road trip even though we’ve been losing. If that stays consistent and Dame gets the offense flowing we’re gonna be tough to beat.

  30. WisconsinBadgers608

    I get a feeling Middleton will be out a month at least

  31. Kevin_Jim

    It’s sad that this was Pat’s last game with the Bucks (hopefully). He will be missed as a person, and will be remembered for the player he was.

  32. HoagieintheHouse9

    I’ve held back from being a doomer for so long. But it’s truly demoralizing to know that we legitimately lost this game because we didn’t play marjax over Pat and Jae. I believe with every fiber of my being that we win this game with even just Ajax over Pat, much less including marjon over Jae. It’s a disgrace. I’m reaching almost critical doom levels. This team doesn’t care about winning. We do not care about winning. We care about egos. We care about the golf course. We care about making sure the big man eats with turnaround fades. We don’t care about winning. Denver does. Boston does. How will we compete with them when we can’t even identify our own assets?

  33. ImTotallyTechy

    Froedert sure is a fitting sponsor for us.

    Also, hope our videographer is cheffing up an insane Pat farewell video

  34. Leroy--Brown

    Still a good game.

    What happened in the 4th, defense strategy fell apart, and passing/ball movement stopped.
