Down bad Bucks fold again in search of new rock bottom | Gyro Step
The Milwaukee Bucks lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday night, immediately surrendering a halftime lead they held over the New York Knicks and getting dominated late by role players with Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court after Khris Middleton left in the first half with “mouth trauma.” Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti recorded right after the game and went through it together, yelling about how bad the Bucks have become and trying to pinpoint exactly how they’ve reached this point and if there’s any hope to salvage the season. They also discussed if the Dame trade was a mistake (with hindsight, not in the moment) and more unfun talking points.

Nah hell no. Jrue is waaaaaay better. Defense matters buck o. Tried to tell y'all. Dame HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON BAD TO MID TEAMS. He's Brandon Jennings with a friendly whistle and way less playmaking ability.
13:22 Horst needs to be fired. Had the Wiggins for Middleton trade on the table and also the Williams Portis trade on the table. Cowardice took away the oppertunity for one snd the annual "freak injury" for khris ended the other. It was sooooooo obvious these trades needed to happen.
I would only have made the jrue trade if we got first round picks back
This summer you've gotta trade Dame, Lopez, Bobby, Pat, you trade Middleton for WHATEVER young body you can get. If Giannis doesn't like it he shouldn't have chocked in 18 19 20 and shouldnr have turned into s 3 pt chucker agiasnt BOS 22
People think people who talk about the NBA being rigged because of betting are crazy . But explain how great 3point shooter after great three point shooter turns to crap on the Bucks . Jrue Donte and Grayson are all leading the NBA in three point shooting after they leave here and then one of the greatest 3point shooters in the history of the NBA comes here and SUDDENLY SUCKS ! No reason to be suspicious right ? Maybe the Bucks should check the rims on their baskets ? You guys bemoan how the Bucks have talent year after year that always underperforms. You know as soon as Giannis leaves and he will that is the whole point of the trade . He will find new levels of greatness suddenly get his shot back win more chips ! The fact you must face is the NBA does not want a small market talent developer powerhouse team . They are in the NBA to draft and develope talent that moves on after the first contract !
Bucks will win a championship and everone about to be shook
Can blame Doc but these guys supposed to be vets and don't know how to do the basics at all
You guys talk about coaching as if you just snap your fingers and become Denver overnight because you hired the right coach. It takes years to build that type of continuity. Especially since teams don’t even practice during the regular season anymore…this isn’t your high school basketball team…get real…Adrian Griffin fumbled the ball in training camp and the first half of the season…there was never saving this after that.
The problem is this team is not built for a Dame and Giannis duo and guys feel “safe” because they won a ring a few years ago.
They’re old and slow and need a roster rebuilt around Dame and Giannis to play a more modern style of ball.
…also you do realize if you make 14 free throws that’s the same as making 7 shots…criticizing Dame for scoring from the free throw line instead of making field goals is pretty nonsensical…
The Rodney Dangerfield of sportsball
We’re cooked
“ it just a picture”
“I don’t know what happened, keep talking.”
😂😂😂
The small things are killing the Bucks right now..Box Outs, Free Throws, Stop Playing Zone so much, Play the young Guys More, An last but not least Sit Brook More!! 7'2 an only get 4-5 rebs a game smh
Bring Bud Back
Is that a Pat jersey Ti? 🤔
As we learned last the regular season means nothing so lllet's see what happens. That said,, it may be time to move Giannis. His game is not going to age well because he can;t shoot. I am already noticing a decline.
The Bucks are a true 5th or 6th seed at best ,lackluster might as well trade everyone and start from blank
The only reliable players are Giannis, Khris, and Bobby. I don’t trust anyone else to touch the ball
Thsi is what went wrong. Not changing the two guard position from Malik to someone who can guard next to Dame.
The Biggest problem with this team starts with the Gm, it's on him for putting such an old ass roaster around Giannis every season he trades for or sign washed up players.
Biggest mistake the Bucks made was not developing Marjon and A-Jax. Doubling down on playing Beasley, Crowder and Pat Connaughton heavy minutes deflated this team.
Marjon is 6’7” shoots 39% from 3 point line. Fun Fact: He hasn’t been in the rotation since early January and he has more Dunks than Beasley, Crowder and Pat Connaughton combined this season 😳
THE DOWN BAD DOC BUCKS
Knick fan here, your perimeter defense is so weak without jrue holiday. The new foul calls would have benefited you guys even more if he was still there. Brunson looks at dame like BBQ
Old slow stupid team and that is a reflection of jon horst's foolish penchant for pursuing and keeping OLD PLAYERS.
Should have replaced Brooke with naz Reid when NO ONE CARED ABOUT NAZ REID
NAZ REID 24 YEAR OLD NAZ REID
AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD KNEW DOC RIVERS WAS TERRIBLE. WHY NOT JUST STICK WITH PRUNTY UNTIL YOU FOUND A REAL COACH
The Heat or the Sixers will put this team out in the first round…I guess that dame trade didn’t help take that L Milwaukee
There just not good enough, and they know it. One Jrue was traded for Dame the chemistry was out of wack. And it hasn’t gotten any better as the season goes along. But also, the talent is just not good enough. They are old. They are not as athletic and they don’t have the depth. Should they be playing better? Yes. But it shouldn’t be a surprise that they are not playing well.
“Perimeter defense like a body of water” man that analogy was amazing
Middleton is garbage, lilard can't shoot, defence is garbage and giannis looks like he wants out of there tomorrow.
All the vets are washed that's the problem
If you watched the games vs the trash teams, you’d know those teams weren’t actively trying to lose lol. They were sprinting all over diving for loose balls, elbows, hacking, energy effort.
I know we’re mad and there’s no excuse but to claim those teams were trying to lose when they VISIBLY weren’t is wild.
Sixers fan coming in peace. No idea why the video showed up on my YouTube feed but I clicked on it lol. I feel sorry for you guys hiring Glenn Rivers. The dude is a complete fraud who wasted 3 prime years of Embiid and consistently threw players under the bus, starting with Ben Simmons to Tyrese Maxey. He never made adjustments and was just plain trash as an X's and O's coach, especially against the Heat and Hawks. He's wasted more talent than any coach in NBA history yet deflects blame to other circumstances when it was clearly his shitty coaching that lost those series. I wish he would have gone back to Boston to ruin their franchise again. Best of luck in the playoffs!
Has this been the most dramatic season in the Giannis era?
lol you both are riled up and borderline depressed. Take a breath. This isn’t the last bucks season in the world. If our guy giannis leaves, we can enjoy watching a rebuild and getting to know new young talent.
Here are some things to remember
1. It’s the end of the season, it’s been an emotionally taxing season and the bucks are riddled with injuries right now. Is it possible they don’t have motivation to get up for regular season games?
2. They’ve played the best ball in the league (I watch a shit ton of games) in several of their matchups this season. When they commit, they dominate.
3. Bucks season ends on the 14th. They have virtually a week to practice and work on things.
4. As a 3rd or 4th they lose home court advantage but gain the advantage of knowing and gameplanning for their opponent sooner.
The season isn’t over, so we need to just ride it out. If they lose, nbd. They lose every year 🤷♀️ good luck to them. Hope they go to therapy and get some Prozac or go play some soccer or ping pong and lighten up
I hate to hear commentary like the Bucks have "no dog". What does that mean? The reality is the Bucks perimeter players are old. You have to play the young guys to infuse energy & effort.
The problem is Brook Lopez. Enough as enough. I don't know why this team plays a defensive scheme centered around a guy with so many limitations.
a-jax needs to be a starter if this team wants to advance even past the 1st round. Our defense is beyond horendous right now
This season is a lost cause. Giannis has had a very good season but not spectacular. Dame has been underwhelming, the offense crumbles and can't generate anything anything good consistently, the point of attack is laughable. It's BBQ chicken all day long!
I'm a hard-core fan but don't see us going very far in the playoff.
Donte’s Revenge 😮
Who ate they referring to when they sat boss man?
Griffin told these ego maniacs to defend and got fired because of it . Don’t blame coaches , team is trash .
Bucks fan we need to relax the Bucks are trying to get healthy for playoffs this season isn't about the regular season its about the post season..The Bucks had the best record the last two years and didn't do anything in the post season..I'm worried about Docs adjustments and rotations more than anything..They have the players to do it..Doc has to stop playing Pat C so much he is killing the team..He isn't good defensively or offensively I don't understand smh..Beasley and Dame is a bad defensive lineup that's why he should play Ajax or Beauchamp or Aj Green or Pat Bev over Pat C and Beasley and they would be better off they would take off..We will see what happens in the post season..I'll be back to this..They will be hard to beat in post season when the game slows down
I have an idea, how about Doc takes some notes from Griffin's book and coach like him. That would fix everything
Imagine Doc gets fired before the playoffs and Griffin comes back 😂
I was waiting for this hehehe. 🤭
You said Adrian had easy schedule but Doc is losing to bad teams.
Beasley and Crowder are not starters in today’s nba.
Riding with this team until the wheels fall off man idc. I remember game 2 against the Nets. Let all this stuff out, be frustrated, today's a new day. We just need 1 win.
