Khris Middleton provides a playoff performance for the ages but the Bucks fall short to the Pacers



Khris Middleton provides a playoff performance for the ages but the Bucks fall short to the Pacers

Justin and Frank recap an incredible Khris Middleton performance, a better Bucks defensive performance and a gritty comeback, ultimately resulting in a loss. How can the Bucks climb out of a 2-1 hole now needing to win 3 of the next 4 games to avoid back-to-back first round eliminations and will they need to do it without both Giannis and Damian Lillard?

  1. Khris is playing on one leg, Dame is playing on one leg and Giannis is about to come back and play on one leg…

  2. 1️⃣ "Giannis is the one holding Dame and the Bucks back".
    2️⃣ Dame and the Bucks are 4-3.
    3️⃣ Giannis without Dame us 1-8.
    4️⃣ Giannis needs to take a step back and let Dame be the man.
    5️⃣ The reason why Dame can't score is cause Giannis is in the pain.
    6️⃣ Dame cant score cause he gives Giannis most of the shots🤣🤣.

    First of all I am not the one who said all these things. So why are y'all getting mad at me?

    God doesn't reward ugliness. The insult, the disrespect…

  3. It is a tough loss. The big problem is do you think these can reproduce this oerformance in game 4 ?. I dont think so. Brook, Bobby, Pat and Jae : i don't trust them. Giannis will be rusty if he is coming back.

  4. The NBA puts out stinky product .You watch your stars coddled and nursed all thru the season only to see them injured in the playoffs .The Bucks have had Khris and Giannis on the floor together in the playoffs basically only in the short period in the year they won . Otherwise one or the other has been out . Now add in Dame and we have not had our starters for the playoffs again ! It’s like if the next marvel movie they came out and said sorry Spider-Man Hulk and iron man can’t make it .
    Why watch ?

  5. Great performance by Khris. (Maybe Bucks fans will stop asking for him to be traded.) The issue that is tough to grapple with is that the Bucks offense works better without Giannis. The lane opens up, there’s more ball sharing, and there are a greater variety of shots being taken. Hopefully Giannis will boost their defense, but their offense is fine.

  6. I’m confused about Dames injury. I thought his adductor (abdomen) was injured before the playoffs. Now I’m hearing he reinjured his Achilles . When did that first happen?

  7. I'm a diehard pacers fan and I will 100 percent agree that you guys deserve and earned this win if not for it being at Indy. Was Siakam's last layup a charge? By NBA rules it probably was and then you wouldn't have had to deal with Tyrese. I hate to say it but what it came down to was your absolute lack of rebounding without Giannis and the home court advantage. I also hate to say it, but docs lack of adjustments really hurt as well. If it wasn't for the fact that Dame Giannis and Kris were all injured, I think you'd honestly run away with this series because of our lack of experience.

  8. How come most of us fans know a j should' have been playing All along But the coach damn near has to be forced to Play Him That's embarrassing on docs part and we all know marjon should be playing some minutes.But I definitely know he won't get in the game.What a difference young athletes make when they get on the floor ifThe buck's lose G.4 the series is over I've never seen a 7 foot.
    Guy like brooke never get a rebound, which is practically the reason we lost go bucks

  9. No Justin, Khris hasn't consistently done it for the Bucks. I don't like Middleton because I know he can play every night like he did tonight, meaning giving all of his effort, playing defense, not taking stupid shots or turning the ball over, but he rarely does it.

  10. Dont think Giannis is coming to the rescue. He has 91 total playoff minutes since 2022.. very sad for the Bucks franchise.💔

  11. Why the fuck no one tells brook to get a rebound damn. You ain’t going to get the ball anyways standing behind 3 point line in crucial minutes. Brook is really getting on my nerves this year. Slow and no rebounds.

    Till next year bucks fans, coach trash, brook lopez is garbage and slow now

  12. "We have seen Dame perform in the playoffs consistently from afar 🤣🤣. Dame averages 41% and 37% in the playoffs. Dude has the 2nd worst +- in the NBA since he entered the league (2012).

  13. Khris hits the game winner and Giannis gets the attention🤣🤣🤣. I mean if you have an issue with Giannis getting the attention then that's your problem, Justun. Maybe you need to open the bible at least once in 10 yrs so the good God can help you be a better person. Giannis isn't your problem, you are your own problem. Yall act like yall are being forced to do this. Why do something that you don't like? In case you didnt know, there are always ppl out there who can do a much better job than you and I. Laugh Out Loud. Someone clearly was not raised right. Are you that mad?🤣🤣🤣

  14. Khris hits the game winner and Giannis gets the attention🤣🤣🤣. The Giannis hate js insane. I think I will meed BETTER HELP cause i cant handle all the crying. Im pretty sure Justin Garcia hates Giannis. LORD HAVE MERCY

  15. The Playoffs are not unfair. It's just old players are prone to injury. They have their fair share of chance to compete with a relatively healthy body when they are young. Look at Lebron, Steph, and Durant. The clock is ticking for players like Lillard and Middleton and if the Bucks are not cautious with Giannis's injury he will join them too.

  16. It’s hard to win when we can’t touch them and they can literally clatter our players going to the rim.

    Espn were trying to push Hali and Caitlin propaganda all night.
    It’s still #bucksin6

  17. I can't wait the day that Giannis leaves this trash old slow full of former players team. They cant jump, they dont trust their bench, they dont play their young players, but instead they are irresponsible enough to play injured players. I cant really believe hiw is it possible that people who earn 3mil a year like john worst, to pay dinosaurs like brook Lopez who is good for some chinese seond league team. Save Giannis dreams if you have any respect for him, rebuilt. Its better for the bucks , its better for everyone.

  18. Tired of watching this year in and year out. Khris always has his best playoff games when everything else is falling apart and his worst when the rest of team is doing a good job, resulting in the team loosing games they should have won if he played decently and also loosing close games that would be blowouts and Khris kept them close. 1 f*in year he sync'ed up with the rest of team and we won a championship. It's depressing

  19. This game’s on Doc. Bringing Brook back in to close out the game and OT was low IQ, stubborn coaching

  20. If Giannis can't go on Sunday, can you really risk playing Dame? I don't think players should risk an Achilles.

  21. Not having a dominating Center and not having your franchise player hurts big time. Giannis is killing this team not being able to play when it counts.

  22. Please bring back the old Locked On intro music! The new stuff is way too generic, and not as good at all 😞

  23. I guess since I've always thought Khris Middleton was above average and clutch. What I saw Friday night. Didn't surprise me It's just a shame. The buck's couldn't get any rebounds. There's a 7 foot 2 guy who averages 4 rebounds a game that's embarrassing. The series is officially over dames.Probably not gonna play again. When the season started Marjon and Ajax, we're both getting playing time But doc had faith in his veterans, and they basically took a dump on him I' see other teams in the playoffs playing second year.Guys, it's just a shame.Certain coaches refuse to do it When it's obvious your veterans lack athleticism to keep up Don't go down like punks.Play hard and let the chips fall where they may.There's always next season
