Would you rather endure Sisyphus’ punishment or rewatch the last two quarters of this game tonight?
You would think this game was on TNT/ESPN the way it was dragged out for almost an extra hour.
If you’re not Giannis on this Bucks team, then you lack intelligence, vision, heart and basic fundamentals like boxing out and transition shot selection. Horrendous from this team. Absolutely dog shit
TL;DR Dame just please give a shit on defense
Bucks might be the first team to win 50 games while setting off 50 red flags every time they take the court.
Nothing summarized the frustration with Damian Lillard’s play more than late in the 4th when he doesn’t even make a halfhearted attempt to box out Jae’Sean Tate on a Rockets missed three that allowed him to get an easy putback layup during a stretch where Milwaukee’s much-maligned defense was putting together stop after stop.
Yes he’s averaging 25-4-7 or near those numbers. Yes he’s an all-world microwave when his shot is falling…but when it’s not falling you have to at least give a shit on defense or **at the very least just box the fuck out** (aged well after his late steal on Sengun but my point stands). Jrue Holiday had some historic offensive stinkers but you couldn’t say he never tried on defense, even when he was getting his ass lit up by Jimmy Butler or Trae Young.
Giannis has 48 points and the Bucks can’t crack 100 points until 90 seconds are left in the game. Entire team had one of the worst free throw shooting nights I’ve ever seen. Outside of Giannis and some cool MarJon minutes to start the 4th everyone on the Bucks was *horrific* today. Credit the Rockets’ much improved defense for some of that but at the same time good fucking God Milwaukee had some terrible offensive possessions tonight.
Really disappointing season from Dame and the Bucks in general. So far I don’t see any east team beating the Celtics on a playoff series.
It’s almost time to have that conversation Lillard has been very disappointing after all the hype this off-season it’s looking like giannis is going have to bump into people body’s for 40 mins a night in the playoffs for the bucks to have a chance
Bucks really wasting another year of giannis and they have dame on the team.
Bucks starters not named Giannis doing sweet fuck all out there, god damn
Giannis is playing like 2018 LeBron lol
Damn Giannis is unstoppable. Glad the rest of the team decided to not show up.
Even with a rough, inefficient Sengun game, I’m glad our other players not named FVV can show out, without needing a good Jalen game either.
Jeff is the Lebron of role players, Cam has so far looked great offensively on few minutes, guys like Aaron can be solid if they don’t try to do too much, and so on. And even without Brooks and Tari, our team defense can still be really good. It’s just the inconsistency of a young, new team, given we got out-talented and punked by the Wolves yesterday, but came with more energy and coordination today. Though part of that is just matchups with the length of the Wolves really hurting our passing and offense.
In any case, a B2B win against a great team is always nice to see. We need to bring that energy on the road since that record is still pretty rough.

That 3rd quarter went for an ungodly length of time, absolutely killed me.
Good win, especially on the 2nd of a B2B.
Get Giannis some help
Dame is playing like straight up trash this year.
He has few good games here and there but the salary he is getting is nowhere to be seen in production.
Trading jrur for dame doesn’t have made any difference for bucks at all
Bobby Portis needs to be sent to Siberia. Terrible basketball player.
lame time baby
Not about the game, but damn I just love that particular Houston court so much. The colors, the contrast with the shade of wood, the flying spaceman, the font…
Dame is straight up not having a good time.
The Brook-less Rockets* 🫡
The expectation was “Superteam”… It’s ended up just being Giannis trying his best to carry a bunch of idiots every single night without fail.
Uncle Jeff showing he’s got plenty left in the tank
You know Ime likes defense cause he just be playing Jabari into the ground these days. I check the box score mostly for rockets games and it’s not like Jabari is going off every game with points, which shows that his defense and rebounding must have been really solid this year because Ime just plays him for 34 + mins a game consistently.
Cade Cunningham has had a better season than Damian Lillard
Amian Lillar strikes again
This is karma for what Beas said on that podcast
The Bucks are just a bad team at this point.
Giannis is still Giannis.
Khris has his moments but he’s getting older and coming back from multiple injuries.
Dame just looks fucking terrible. He looks completely uninterested and just can’t make anything.
Lopez is finally starting to look old. He’s shooting more 3’s than all but one season with the Bucks and shooting the lowest percentage he has since he got here. And this ridiculous perimeter pressure scheme is putting him on an island with a wide open lane way too often.
Bobby is supposed to be a 6MOTY caliber player but looks like he barely belongs on the court he’s been so bad on both ends.
Pat is old and washed, Beasley can’t guard anyone, Payne is Payne, Marjon and Andre Jackson are inconsistent.
Our bench is terrible, we can’t defend, we can’t rebound to save our lives, our coach looks totally in over his head.
Just an absolute mess.
Giannis is the only one on our team that actually wants to win. The rest are just there to get some cardio in.
Sounds crazy but us missing out on dame may have been a dodged bullet
Is Dame lowkey regressing? I dont watch Bucks games until now.
35 mpg is the most Giannis has avg since 2017-18 (his 1st superstar yr imo). Where’s the help ? Dame is not even a consistent 1 way player which he deperately needs to be considering his shitty defense.
I feel bad for Giannis despite being a Celtics fan, that man doesn’t deserve this…putrid game by all his teammates
I legit have a headache from this game. Thank god we are done seeing the Bucks this season
Please come back soon Dillon and Tari
I don’t wanna say it, but I think we do have to admit there are some signs of dames decline showing. He still has awesome games, but not as consistently as he used to and he’s very inefficient this year.
I’ve never seen Dame so disinterested on defense, which is saying a lot because I watched all his years in PDX
