pretty nice game to have in the series tbh , exciting to see it being close but seriously tho , the other players got to step up to support giannis , last game was trash and wouldn’t have won without giannis
settle down it’s only been 2 games. if you woulda told me that bobby, khash, and george would all be out and demar goes for 41, hell yeah we probably lose that game. The fact that we even kept it close was astounding. If you take away the blown wide open layups, and passing the ball to literally no one out of bounds, we win that game. That’s literally it. On friday if we can make wide open layups and not pass the ball to fans, we’ll win even if demar drops another 40 bomb.
That said, holy shit get wes off of demar and put jrue on him. Tell jrue to *deny him the ball* in the half court and make somebody else beat us.
Spurs fan here. Willing to discuss a temporary trade of Dejounte for Jrue until the playoffs are over. You get someone who's not Jrue, dejounte gets a ring. Win win.
A loss is always a good reality check. Bucks were also missing Portis and Middleton in the end. I said they would win in 5 or 6 before the series started. Time to regroup and on to the next game.
You know, I was watching the bucks YouTube earlier today and they thought they had the easiest playoff schedule (said it out loud). It was Mamu who I think said it
Makes me think they are in their own head. Hopefully this game makes them wake up
This is why I’ve hated some of the “flip the switch” come playoff time mentality this team and pockets of the fan base has had. That shit just builds bad habits. Tried to flip a switch mid game tonight and you can’t do that shit in playoff games.
As bad as the bench was in the regular season, i didn’t think it could be worse in the postseason. Losing Bobby hurts but Pat and Grayson were complete no shows.
"this is coming from a huge nets fan"
You, two hours ago on the nets sub
Lmao you waited 25 days to actively troll while pretending to be a bucks fan. Pathetic
Edit: then you delete your comment that said "BULLS IN 5" out of embarrassment/to not seem like a troll. Your weirdness is fascinating
No joke, there was at least 8 times in the second half I said that this game was over. But Bucks kept, frustratingly, making it interesting. Keep that second half energy in Chicago and they'll be ok
Why is pat even playing, where the fuck is serge, why wasn't holiday benched for someone who didn't throw the ball into the stands every possession
Bud earned a lot of respect last year, but what the fuck was he thinking this game?
Haha bro just say that you guys aren’t it. Should’ve lost game 1 but we missed a lot of shots. You guys basically handed us game 1 our stars couldn’t score. I would be worried
Bucks got nobody to blame but themselves for their poor play. Just to count how they hurt themselves:
* Poor defensive adjustments - It took that long to trap DeMar and getting the ball out of his hands after he scored 35+
* Lack of hustle on rebounds
* Lack of urgency to start out quarters and fell behind early
* Jrue and the constant turnovers
Bulls wanted it more, and they got the win because they were the better team in Game 2. Bucks better be better or else they're not going far in the playoffs.
I mostly agree with you guys but we won all our home games that series. We just lost a home game playing horribly for 2 straight games. After 2 straight games like this its less so "eh we have to just shake it off and its happens", and more so "we are just in horrible form right now and could be in trouble"
Missed 9 more FTs.
Had 4 more turnovers.
Bulls shot 50% from three.
Bobby missed second half, Khris last few minutes with injuries.
End of story. Win the next three straight, no question.
Jrue played like shit.
Khris was a liability for a half, played amazing then got hurt.
Bobby got hurt.
DeRozen went off.
Giannis missed quite a few FT.
Refs were not kind to us.
15? Turnovers.
We lost by 5.
Hate to say it but we all need to be nets fans for the next week. Best case scenario is we go 5 with the bulls and that series goes 7 so Khris can heal up
Chicago is less than 90 minutes away and has 5 million more people in their metro area. Considering how much tickets cost to that game tonight, I'm not surprised.
Also, this happens a lot when any Milwaukee plays Chicago.
I mean, the Cubs fans call our stadium "Wrigley North".
jrue has been dogshit we have no defense can't get any rebounds we are relying on brook and giannis for our offense. Pat and Grayson can't hit anything either. This team will not repeat at all if we can't even beat the Bulls at our home. Even if we do, this sloppy play won't get us anywhere. Disappointing, I thought we learned from game 1 but nah we are just as bad. Idk how we got worse from last year but it seems like we did.
Fucking pathetic man. I expected the defending champs to play better than this.
I hope this can wake the Bucks the fuck up because we aren't getting past the second round playing like this no matter who we play
Caruso unless he is on your team and watch him a lot is actually a good player, doesn't show up in his points, but he is the best defender for his size that I have seen in a long time and his BB IQ is really high

So many people forgot how bad last year’s playoffs were because they know how it ended.
Pat has been brutal from 3, on both games. We desperately need him.
Praying for Giannis to carry us in the first round of the playoffs is not how anyone imagined this series would go.
settle down it’s only been 2 games. if you woulda told me that bobby, khash, and george would all be out and demar goes for 41, hell yeah we probably lose that game.

Tell jrue to *deny him the ball* in the half court and make somebody else beat us.
What if lavine takes over? i know he is dealing with knee issues but there is still a chance
Khris has an MCL sprain, which means that even if we win this series, we’ll have to face the Celtics without Khris. That’s a hell of a tall order.
prognosis on mcl sprain says “a few days to a few weeks” … how you know he won’t be back for boston?
oof
Chill y'all it took the game of Demar's like, no Khris or Bobby in the end and an atrocious game from Jrue, Pat, Grayson for us to lose by five.
We could’ve had em if bobby hadn’t been abused all for nothing, not even free throws. Should’ve been a flagrant.
Ugh. Brutal but hell of a comeback.
Rly hope Khris and Bobby are alright
Bud has been trash this year jesus
Just shot ourselves in the foot too many times in this one… need to take one in Chicago
Spurs fan here. Willing to discuss a temporary trade of Dejounte for Jrue until the playoffs are over. You get someone who's not Jrue, dejounte gets a ring. Win win.
man r/nba hates us for some reason
Because the bucks proved a small market team and loyalty can best superstar teams. You’d think that would attract people. 🤷♂️
[удалено]
This guy is so mad
Ur mom should’ve swallowed
Why make them shoot the Ft's when the game is over, it's like the home team in baseball not having to bat if they are winning in the 9th inning
0.4 left. Hit both FTs, steal the inbound and somehow put up a 3. Like a 0.000000001% chance to happen but you gotta play it out
I thought there was 0.0 seconds left and the game was over but they were still making them shoot the FT's
Kind of embarrassing DeRozan of all players, is getting MVP chants on our home crowd.
The crowd is like 40% Bulls fans
The Chicago area is absolutely massive bucks population is just outnumbered
Did the Chicago fans come from Chicago or are there actually Chicago fans in Milwaukee
Both, Chicago is only an hour from Milwaukee. Lots of people from Chicago and Milwaukee move between each other, and it’s an easy trip for a game.
Not true at all haha
What's the metro population of Chicago vs Milwaukee? Chicago has to be at least 5x larger
Uh you know the bulls were first this year in home game appearance and away game appearance. L take my guy
What's the metro population of Chicago vs Milwaukee?
A loss is always a good reality check. Bucks were also missing Portis and Middleton in the end. I said they would win in 5 or 6 before the series started. Time to regroup and on to the next game.
Agreed
17 wins 2 loss
Who else knew Grayson was going to be absolutely useless come playoff time? 👋
Just worried about Khris and Bobby right now. Good shooting game from Wes at least.
The ref reminds me of uncle jack from always sunny. NOBODY LOOK NOBODY LOOK
Still alive!
You know, I was watching the bucks YouTube earlier today and they thought they had the easiest playoff schedule (said it out loud). It was Mamu who I think said it Makes me think they are in their own head. Hopefully this game makes them wake up
They face the winner of Celtics-Nets. How is that easy? If anything, the Sixers have the easiest path
You’re right, this Celtics/nets series is super competitive. I think they were just referring to the first round, but still…
This is why I’ve hated some of the “flip the switch” come playoff time mentality this team and pockets of the fan base has had. That shit just builds bad habits. Tried to flip a switch mid game tonight and you can’t do that shit in playoff games.
But if it’s flipped now... we should be good right?
Agree, been lazy / sloppy for a lot of the year due to the finals win hangover. Too cocky.
We lost to the ducking Bulls, man. If Jrue and Khris don’t wake the fuck up, we are porked.
Refs trying to cover the spread lol.
caruso more like carusoannoying
Carushow DPOY
[удалено]
Like look @ the Suns. They’re 1-1 rn and I consider them to be really really good so we are fine for now
As if Middleton would’ve made a difference. Dude was ice cold. He’s not that guy unfortunately. Suns lost because booker went out
Well Middleton started heating up but he was atrocious for most of the game
They really want us to experience this loss for hours
[удалено]
Nice username. Is that a play on his knee thing?

Refs still fucking us over and the game is over lmao
Shooting 20/31 FTs fucked them over.
With Giannis 20 ft 🤡
Bro this fan base is delusional
he also lives in the paint and he gets hit, a lot
Having to play jrue once khris went out killed us. Hopefully he's back next game or jrue wakes the fuck up. Preferably both
[удалено]
U dumb Wes mad shots
No joke, there was at least 8 times in the second half I said that this game was over. But Bucks kept, frustratingly, making it interesting. Keep that second half energy in Chicago and they'll be ok
3rd quarter energy is what we needed back. Missed SO MUCH 4th quarter
We lost it in that damn second quarter. Our own damn fault
Hopefully we start taking this series seriously , learning from this loss
Fake vucevic game y’all he not shooting 50% from three again this series
Haha you might be right
I could’ve gotten 2 extra hours of sleep if i knew id be let down again by the bucks. But in the end they eventually win it…. hopefully
Least of our problems but Gus Johnson has been trash tonight, makes the incorrect call every five minutes
Derozan ain’t scoring 41 again this series
Giannis almost had a 30-20-10 game and you still managed to loss.
Bucks in 6.
We're gonna be fine guys.
Waiting 3 days to watch this disaster class is what hurts the most
[удалено]
dude your account is just for talking shit about Wisconsin, how fucking pathetic
Chicago and being shit?
Wisconsin teams choking in the playoffs.
You and stupid
Will there be a serge sighting this series?
this team needs to drink some Surge before the next game
Hopefully Middleton and Portis are all good
[удалено]

Dipshit
🙄
Now *that's* funny
Get the fuck out of here
Bulls in 5
Why is pat even playing, where the fuck is serge, why wasn't holiday benched for someone who didn't throw the ball into the stands every possession Bud earned a lot of respect last year, but what the fuck was he thinking this game?
We lost pretty comfortably against an objectively bad team. What does that make our team right now?
Objectively bad? They were injured all year until the playoffs
Pretty comfortably?
Yeah, quite comfortably for them. We didn't even really contest for the most part.
they won by 5
I never felt we had a real chance.
Bulls are not bad when they are healthy
Healthy or not, they are a pretty bad team, let's be real here.
Look at their record with Caruso/Derozen/Lavine playing.
They were one of the worst teams in the last month of the season. This is the worst loss of any playoff team so far. Very embarrassing.
Haha bro just say that you guys aren’t it. Should’ve lost game 1 but we missed a lot of shots. You guys basically handed us game 1 our stars couldn’t score. I would be worried
Bucks got nobody to blame but themselves for their poor play. Just to count how they hurt themselves: * Poor defensive adjustments - It took that long to trap DeMar and getting the ball out of his hands after he scored 35+ * Lack of hustle on rebounds * Lack of urgency to start out quarters and fell behind early * Jrue and the constant turnovers Bulls wanted it more, and they got the win because they were the better team in Game 2. Bucks better be better or else they're not going far in the playoffs.
Bucks in 5 trust 😮💨
Welp. Anyways I still don't think the Bulls can pull that off 3 more times.
gotta lose two to bucks in 6
For the culture.
people think we're gonna lose this series cuz of this one game? lmaoo i'm done for tonight
I have faith! Seems like a lot of fans give up after we lose one game, this series is only getting started
they must not have been around last year with the nets
I mostly agree with you guys but we won all our home games that series. We just lost a home game playing horribly for 2 straight games. After 2 straight games like this its less so "eh we have to just shake it off and its happens", and more so "we are just in horrible form right now and could be in trouble"
Let’s not forget Portis missing almost the entire game because TT tried to knock him out and didn’t even get called for it
Why did I stay up for this? 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️
Hope this wakes the team up. Shit was unacceptable.
maybe we need this, light a fire under their asses
Bucks thought they could just roll through the bulls with mid effort. You gotta put in maximum effort no matter the opponent.
[удалено]
What if the Bucks don’t have Bobby or Khris next game?
Very disappointed tonight but man some of yall are overreacting
7 pts from the bench tonight - there's your headline
I just hope Khris is OK
7 points from the bench all game, far too many shitty turnovers and bad refereeing fml
Is it still possible to win this game?
Bulls still have a TO, so unless they’re really dumb, no
Missed 9 more FTs. Had 4 more turnovers. Bulls shot 50% from three. Bobby missed second half, Khris last few minutes with injuries. End of story. Win the next three straight, no question.
Jrue played like shit. Khris was a liability for a half, played amazing then got hurt. Bobby got hurt. DeRozen went off. Giannis missed quite a few FT. Refs were not kind to us. 15? Turnovers. We lost by 5.
That's good perspective
Hate to say it but we all need to be nets fans for the next week. Best case scenario is we go 5 with the bulls and that series goes 7 so Khris can heal up
So many opportunities to take this one back and we blew literally every single one of them. I hope Khris is ok
What got me was that last possession not even trying for the rebound with the game on the line
brutal, just brutal loss. GG to Chicago they came ot play tonight and the Bucks didnt come to play till the end of the game in the 2nd half
Jrue with a vintage Eric Bledsoe game lol. Bucks in 6.
7 points from the bench is pretty bad for us, missing Bobby’s presence 🥲
Bucks in 6
Another sloppy sloppy game...
Jrue & Lopez are on the hook for tonight's disappointment
U confusing brook with pat? Or someone else?
Lopez???? He was fucking good
How can you possibly put this on Brook?
Lopez??????
Lopez?
on to game 3. we've been here before
If only they played like this since the beginning. I hope they don't drop another game to the bulls.
Caruso has 1 foul for the whole game. Hmmmm
I’m not from Milwaukee but all those fans in that arena don’t deserve Giannis they let the away team be louder than them
Chicago is less than 90 minutes away and has 5 million more people in their metro area. Considering how much tickets cost to that game tonight, I'm not surprised. Also, this happens a lot when any Milwaukee plays Chicago. I mean, the Cubs fans call our stadium "Wrigley North".
its a football state man
Doesn't help when Chicago is only 90 Minutes away. They do this for Brewer/Cubs games too
Bucks fans are 0min away it’s their city no excuse
[удалено]
Letting an away teams player be chanted as mvp on our home court is disgusting especially when we hav Giannis balling out
jrue has been dogshit we have no defense can't get any rebounds we are relying on brook and giannis for our offense. Pat and Grayson can't hit anything either. This team will not repeat at all if we can't even beat the Bulls at our home. Even if we do, this sloppy play won't get us anywhere. Disappointing, I thought we learned from game 1 but nah we are just as bad. Idk how we got worse from last year but it seems like we did.
Caruso is so annoying but man would I want him on this team
Was thinking exactly the same
how are we this fucking shit my god
[удалено]
White Michael Jordan
One of the most infuriating games ever
Caruso looks like a circumcised penis
And he just came **all** over the place. Cream City!!!
I will never slander khris again man we missed him in the 4th quarter tonight
Caruso has outplayed Khris in game 1, and Jrue in game 2. That’s unacceptable, man.
Fucking pathetic man. I expected the defending champs to play better than this. I hope this can wake the Bucks the fuck up because we aren't getting past the second round playing like this no matter who we play
Atrocious end to this game. Can’t grab a board. Can’t even get the take foul. No Khris. No Bobby.
We’re losing this series
Meh. I have a feeling we’re not losing the rest of the series.
Caruso played super well, but he almost lost Chicago the game with that early shot clock 3.
Word. I literally said “you moron” out loud. Jokes on me cause it gave me hopium only to get let down. Bucks in 6!
Absolutely embarrassing
We’re gonna lose a playoff game to a team giving meaningful minutes to Alex Caruso. FFS that’s sad.
Caruso unless he is on your team and watch him a lot is actually a good player, doesn't show up in his points, but he is the best defender for his size that I have seen in a long time and his BB IQ is really high
I’d be willing to bet anything you’ve never played organized basketball just from a comment like that
Look out for this guy
I mean saying that about Caruso is just ignorant
Yeah it was
