    Disappointment: Immeasurable

    Night: Ruined

    Bucks in: Six

  2. 414Bucks

    This entire game was us bringing the lead to under 10 points only to start shooting poor heat check shots while ignoring defense on the other end. Bucks need to play smarter with more effort going forward.

  3. SocksandSmocks

    Game 1 bucks is 1000% a thing, I can’t explain it, but it obviously is at this point. I mean how many times have we watched this exact game in the playoffs the last few seasons?

    It all just hinges on Giannis now, if he’s ok then we’re ok. Frankly though I think we could win this series without him if need be as bad as tonight was.

  4. Rick_Ross_Pear

    Wait wait wait…

    You mean to tell me *the* Milwaukee Bucks can’t shoot in the playoffs? I’m shocked. *Shocked* I tell you! I don’t know what else I expected but *certainly* not a brick-fest. That’s just unheard of!

    Don’t worry guys, this is just a regular season game. They’ll “turn it on” for the playoffs!

    /s

  5. Interstellis

    Not gunna win a whole lot of games shooting a season low from 3 as a team.

  6. BobbyBobbie

    Well that’s wasn’t my particular cup of tea.

  7. Guard226Duck

    I was at this game and man it’s hard for the crowd to get into a game when they just rain threes on you

  8. 1998TimThomas

    I expect more Grayson on Jimmy going forward

  9. Mustard_Jam

    I get it’s game one and it shouldn’t matter but watching the EXACT same issues plague this team in the playoffs is somewhat concerning. I get they won a ring but you can’t expect Giannis to go 35/10/5 every series to bail you out. Teams are just going to throw more and more at him if no one else steps up.

    Holiday needs to stop shooting fucking 35% in the playoffs and role players need to make shots. Can’t blame EVERYTHING on coaching (although there’s some criticism there).

    The Bucks will be fine this series but that shit won’t fly against a team like the Celtics or 76ers.

  10. ANDYtehROO

    At least Khris played well, thats a positive.

    Bobby was electric too, and whenever he was on the bench we played like shit

  11. XPlutoniumX

    The heat shot out of their minds and we shot poorly. There will be overreactions but I’m not worried. We’re the better team. Giannis’ health is all that matters to our success.

  12. The Carter pull up 3 in a 2 on 1 was a back breaker for momentum.

  13. 15/23 is reactor breaking unsustainable. I’m not concerned except for Giannis. Great game Bobby, father of my five children

  14. Absolutely terrible. Bucks played with 0 effort and like they didn’t want this game. If the bucks want to win anything at all they gotta play with intensity and with fire under their ass.

  15. GodBlessThisGnome

    Steph Curry on the Bucks would still shoot 25% from 3. I can’t explain it.

  16. Bac0nnaise

    Season high shooting for the Heat just isn’t sustainable.

    Bucks in 6

  17. expletivenature

    I don’t care what any doomers say…..

    BUCKS IN 6!

  18. aaalan71

    Bud offensive scheme:

    Either giving the ball to Giannis or keep shooting 3s

  19. 130 points to the worst offense in the playoffs is pathetic.

  20. jconley4297

    every worst part of every shit playoff performance we’ve had in the bud era

    beat them inside for gods sakes

  21. Mayor_Of_Dogs

    Butler: 43 minutes
    Khris: 33 minutes (minutes restriction my ass)
    Jrue: 35 minutes
    Bobby: 26 minutes

    Bud disasterclass

  22. Best player in the league injured in the first and Heat only won by 8? Yeah I’m not worried.

    Sucks seeing stands so empty though.

    No biggie, Bucks in 5.

  23. gandaalf

    Just let a team full of old men and undrafted players terrorize us at home. Super cool

  24. If you’d have told me Giannis would only score 6 points and we’d lose this game, I’d have told you Giannis got hurt and barely played.

  25. Exparrotvroom

    Not pissed at 10/42

    Pissed they took 42 instead of beating them up inside

  26. dampTendies

    Incredibly frustrating game. I watched the whole game and don’t know how we didn’t lose by 30. Also had some odd substitutions. Seemed like Bobby couldn’t be stopped and we phased him out of the game.

  27. ahaddad321

    The worst part about that is that it wasn’t even our worst game or performance in the last slew of games.

  28. dejvipasco

    Any news on Giannis? That’s the most important thing.

  29. ITGuy420

    No defense and terrible shot selection == recipe for disaster.

  30. Ghostofclaybobpast

    Spolestra is just so much better than bud as a coach. Bucks can not win this series without giannis. Need him back for game 2 otherwise it’s season over.

  31. starter-123

    They secured home advantage through playoffs a few days ago, and they decided not to use it before this series

  32. SnakeArms6677

    As a Grizzlies fan, I feel your pain today.

  33. BrotherSkeleton

    Giannis at 5, Bobby at 4, Khris at 3, jingles/grayson/jevon at 2, and jrue at 1 is what bud needs to do. If he doesn’t, this is gonna be rough. Brook is getting cooked out there. Jrue also needs to not brick lay bruh
