    looked great until the 4th

    gonna assume it was mostly fatigue, but yeesh that was one of the worst quarters I’ve seen

    back to being the worst team in the NBA again 🙁

  2. Unable_Ad6836

    Jon Horst has brought this team from a championship contender to a pretender in one year

  3. timtom1994

    Tough loss but oh well. Everyone looked tired by the fourth – high elevation arena + missing two starters + second night of a b2b.

    One concern is it sure is easy to double and triple-team Giannis when the rest of the lineup can’t make open shots. The playoff formula to beat the Bucks since the Raptors series.

  4. Competitive_Quiet179

    Honestly hope Dame is okay, dude was clearly hobbled after ankle injury and shouldn’t have played 

  5. Superflissbro

    Dame getting so much shit from yall in the 4th quarter after he had came up limping from his dunk is crazy

  6. Reggieheathcliff

    I am more surprised when Dame plays well than when he shoots under 40%. Really hope that all star break provides a hard reset for him because…..it hasn’t been pretty.

  7. the_saint_digger

    All I’m going to say is, the comments will be polar opposite for each day. But that’s bucks basketball!

  8. Hard4Favra

    The Dame not getting the ball enough to be in rhythm needs to die. He’s just bricking open shots.

    Sure bring up off the court stuff for context, but he is still crapping the bed and it’s not because of scheme/coaching.

  9. CaptainJYD

    Pat needs to go, whole game changed after his sequence of missing a 3, 2 ft, and fucking jumping at ghosts giving them 2 wide open 3s. Momentum completely changed.

    He is completely useless on this team

  10. CreamCityFr34k

    Players dapping up and smiling… I hope everyone keeps some perspective. Y’all enjoy rolling around in the misery pit too much… I’ll pass.

    Let’s get it Tuesday night!!!

  11. americanbeaver

    I am choosing not to get big mad over this Bucks collapse. No Brook. No Khris. On a back to back. Away game. I have all the cope I need.

  12. Missing brook and khris really killed us this game. Brook would’ve been an answer to Kessler on D and khris would’ve steadied our offense early in the 4th when we couldn’t buy a bucket. Refs were genuinely shit tho

  13. Slow-Jelly-2854

    Not gonna make excuses for them. They couldn’t make shots in the 4th, and that’s that. A real shitty way to lose a game you had control of. The dance goes on

  14. swayinandsippin

    the second taylor swift announced her new album, the game went to shit. coincidence?

  15. dampTendies

    Feels like Giannis has to drag this team to win every night. He needs someone to take the load off of him. Dame doing once every two weeks isn’t enough.

    When Jrue struggled offensively he did a lot of other things well. Set up other guys, played good defense, etc. We have a bunch of guys on this team that when their shot isn’t falling it doesn’t seem like they provide much else.

  16. NuuuDaBeast

    I’m just gonna focus on the good game we played for 3 quarters

  17. porkch0pexpress75

    Jazz hit us with that reverse card and then 8 straight draw 4s

  18. 1antinomy

    I saw Giannis walking constantly early in the 4th & knew it’d be a tough finish

    I’m guessing there’s a mandate from the FO on AJax & MarJon to not play them until the trade deadline

    Those two are not DNP-worthy in a game like this

  19. tuatara_teeth

    really missing Brook. too many lobs and putbacks to count.

  20. Jack12404

    Still don’t know why we just stopped playing Ajax. He gives you everything Pat does with better defense, but instead of letting him learn his limits to avoid fouls in the future we just bench him.

  21. Mustard_Jam

    This team needs depth so fucking bad this bench is G league levels. Idk where they’re going to get it…

  22. MechaElectricScrub

    Lame duck season. It’s over. But dude imagine having a player like Damian Lillard on this team 🤩🤩🤩

  23. 1antinomy

    I noticed Doc tried to keep Pat & Bobby off the floor at the same time…..yet they still managed to tank the team in their own way individually

    Bobby was making shots early then went into tunnel vision mode in the 2nd half— absolutely refusing to pass out the post

    Way too many shots from him (led the team with 20FGA)

    Not even gonna mention his defense anymore— anytime they needed a score, they just lobbed it over him

    Then onto Pat who was firing bricks all night, left a ton of points on the table & left guys open with bad contests

  24. Fluffy-Way-2365

    1) No refs were harmed in the making of this game. Seriously what was that ? I hope they get some decent payout out of this ridiculousness.

    2) Giannis setting up like 20 wide open shots and counting bricks is real sad. Horrible shooting. So many easy shots. And as usual, the other team is hitting relatively contested shots.

    3) No bench. AJ is very useful but inexperienced. Everyone else is kinda trash frankly. Pat should not be playing basketball, Bobby has no idea what passing is and can’t defend a scarecrow.

    4) No blame on the coach in my opinion. The plays were all nice and leading to wide open shots. What is he gonna do, shoot them himself ?

    5) Dame was semi-injured so I will pass on him, but if he wasn’t that would be another trash game of him.

  25. starter-123

    no wonder there were so many “doomers” after every loss, the way they lose these games are indeed annoying and embarrassing

  26. AJ Green is an NBA rotational player there is no denying it anymore the guy makes winning plays. Unfortunately we still have a bunch of dudes who can’t play defense and until that is fixed we won’t win anything.

  27. Why do we constantly turn average teams into the Dream Team?

    Realistically though we just looked done in the 4th. Fatigue played a huge factor, couldn’t hit anything and they got hot at the right time. Biggest criticism is not playing more fresh young legs tonight.

    AJ Green showed a lot. Dame needs to start showing up a bit more regularly

  28. TokaKokaMocha

    I see so many of us (myself included in heated moments-I own it) trying to pin this loss on one player or another, or the coach, or bad reffing (guilty as charged-I saw some VERY questionable calls), but as a team, we unraveled like a cheap sweater at the end there, and Utah smelled blood in the water and stepped right up and took it. All there is to it. Were players gassed?? Definitely. Was it hard as hell to watch it slip away at the end like that? Damn straight. There was definitely improvement in many areas-defense (though not as consistently as we’d all like) for sure. This is gonna be a challenging stretch coming up, so hopefully more wins than losses.

  29. AnonymousFroggies

    Yet another game with no Marjon or Ajax, yet Pat gets significant minutes to do basically nothing

  30. DameWasistlos

     Bucks  outrebounded 52 -32 Bucks bench outscored 55- 14 Utah was scuffling coming into game having lost 6 of 8. Utah had 9 players play at least 20 minutes. Sure must be nice to have a nice bench.

  31. Papspapd284

    I’m curious where you think your guard defense is coming from in the playoffs, especially seeing as dame gets worse in the playoffs and he’s already having a bad season (by his standards) this year on offense? Id love to see you guys in the finals again, cause fuck the heat and especially fuck the Celtics, but I’m just not in anyway seeing a contender with yous with dame being this inconsistent

  32. PretentiousPanda

    On a positive note. Thought AJ Gree. Was pretty solid. Active on defense and hit some nice shots. Not sure what exactly Pat does better than him. 

  33. TheAirIsOn

    No shame in losing. I haven’t seen the game but with a score like that I’m pretty sure Jazz were hot all game
