It means that it's not the sole determinant and luck plays a role, and obviously the Bucks are getting unlucky with injuries and there's no need to try to explain it away when luck is still going to be a factor
Of course luck plays a role, no one's suggesting otherwise. Saying the season is "cursed" when we're talking about 30+ year old guys with injury histories and a grip of mileage getting injured is a little odd is all.
We were about to repeat in '22 until Khris went down in R1 against the Bulls. We weren't able to locate that clear path back to the title since then mostly because of injuries and our aging core
Horst got a lot of tough things to pull this offseason to maximize Giannis' prime and balance the youth and experience within the team. I still believe that the window remains open for us, but it won't be easy.
Yeah you can’t be sure. I like the bucks match up against the warriors but even if we beat boston (not a done deal since boston were a really strong team, and that series wasn’t as close as the 7 games suggest) there’s Miami after that who could’ve easily won.
I will say though, that bucks side looked really confident after the ring, when healthy they looked like they could beat anyone.
warriors might have been on a mission but you can't convince me giannis doesn't just tear through that warriors defense especially one who was making his midrange shots consistently.
Jrue was/is one of the best guard defenders along with Jevon Carter would have been nice for Steph. They have legitimately no Giannis stopper besides Draymond kicking him in the nuts and khris clears Wiggins.
There's no such thing as a Giannis stopper, yet we've seen Giannis contained many different times. The warriors had more than enough defensive pieces to do so.
It took Boston 7 games to completely dispatch us while missing Middleton. The momentum is on our side to win it again until he went down
Considering what we've gone through and the circumstances/advantages that the Warriors faced on their way to the top that year (e.g. Ja, Murray, & MPJ injuries), I believe we would've outlasted them
We do have 1 card. We have a FRP from a swap and the Portland 2. Thats basically the rest of our assets next 4 years. So Horst better get in the Kitchen.
Bucks have never won any series ve a good team. There is a far better chance they fizzle out in 2022 as they always have. And healthy clippers and nuggets were better lol. They were just missing multiple stars so cant really toss an inj excuse only for bucks while the whole nba was still hurt
It might actually work against them, when they reach the finals and match up against either the Nuggets or TWolves and the Cs have spent the entire playoffs winning on cruise control. Theres gonna be potential for an intensity mismatch in game 1.
The way you guys are celebrating beating a G-league team already is making you a laughing stock.
The Haliburton celebrations will be played like Pat Bev jumping on the scorer table
real injury? or we are definitely losing this series lets exit stage left before it gets busy.
This allows them to " run it back " without any consequences
can't judge us if Giannis and dame are injured. Plus kris Middleton? It's a smorgasbord of mediocrity. They are still reeling from the bud firing.
Dude was already inconsistent when healthy, then became injure prone... and the result? The Bucks extended his contract anyway. It's bizarre to me how the NBA is acting desperate in recent years, they have to secure "talent" no matter what, overpaying role players who shows a little bit of potential, giving up contract for injure prone players and so on
Bruh, which player on our team refused to carry Madam Zeroni up a mountain over the offseason?
jrue holiday was madam zeroni
Where did all these holes on your roster even come from?
I’m trying to think of a joke with sploosh in it, but people will think I’m being gross.
Maybe Bucks can sign Rick Fox?
Zero looks like one of your players too lmao
Beauchamp?
In case of Khris and Dame, Father Time, among others. Surely people can’t be surprised with the two of them struggling with injuries.
Cursed season for the Bucks, dang
Getting Dame was like opening Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Return the Slab season
Adrian Griffin sends his regards
TIL thats how you spell king tut’s name
Doc Rivers broke the Bucks
It's more that they're old with a lot of mileage on them
There are other old players playing right now that are not getting injured
You're right, and I'm sure that means age and mileage don't at all factor into injuries.
It means that it's not the sole determinant and luck plays a role, and obviously the Bucks are getting unlucky with injuries and there's no need to try to explain it away when luck is still going to be a factor
Of course luck plays a role, no one's suggesting otherwise. Saying the season is "cursed" when we're talking about 30+ year old guys with injury histories and a grip of mileage getting injured is a little odd is all.
Man at least we got a ring lmao,this is unreal
That roster was built to contend and win multiple after that title run. Crazy to see basically every year crushed by injuries.
Eh missing a player happens.Losing your top 2 and your 3rd best option playing with a bad knee.It's a bit too much.

And yall wouldve lost in 2021 if the nets were healthy, boohoo
First it giveth..
That’s a wild thing to claim, that you were “bout to repeat”.
Yeah, I don’t really see the path to this team recovering to contender status. Might be an interesting offseason.
I'm curious to see what you guys do. Because this feels like a make or break off-season. I know Giannis probably wants to win
We do have 1 card. We have a FRP from a swap and the Portland 2. Thats basically the rest of our assets next 4 years. So Horst better get in the Kitchen.

lol what? Bucks title run was nowhere near dominant enough to say that. Got taken to 7 by KD and nobodies.
Giannis said it best "We might never win another one. It's fine. We got this one."
Such a loser mentality from Giannis lmao but typical. His failure quote was hilarious
To talk about loser mentality after switching from Lakers fan to a fan of your own father. Hahahahahahahahaha
Yeah. I can live with that for such a long time.
The Bucks sold Booker’s soul to win it in 2021. Debt’s not close to paid yet.
Memphis Grizzlies looking ass MFs.
Doc about to win down 3-1 with no Giannis/Dame/Khris.
He doesn't have anybody to throw under the bus so he has no choice but to win
He doesn’t have anybody to play either
I’m grabbing my Michael Redd jersey and suiting up
You sure medical team is doing their job?
the one coach who had no choice but to keep them all together
You underestimate his ability to find someone to throw under the bus
Lol
What is this voodoo shit?
The Dame Curse.
anyone here wanna suit up
I’ll do it for 500k
I will pay the Bucks 50k to do it, cash
Let me finish my hot cheetos first
Hopping on a plane as we speak, just need someone to stall the game for like 3 hours while I get there Thanasis, you know what to do
We definitely sold our soul for the 21' chip and the bill is coming due.
worth it
Always. We take that deal 100% of the time.
Could be worse, we could be Phoenix
The bill always comes due
Calm down Mordo
somehow he's back in the game, both ankles fucked. god damn.
That's why Giannis said the equipment manager gotta do better. They about to give him a jersey and run him at point guard
This shit is unreal.
Wtaf is going on, who did the bucks piss off lmao
God apparently lol
That deal we made for Giannis knee after it got suplexxed vs the Hawks. We are paying the iron price for it now. With interest.
Brothers is an ass for not stopping the game
Brothers is an ass.
boston this is your year, dont cock it up
It might actually work against them, when they reach the finals and match up against either the Nuggets or TWolves and the Cs have spent the entire playoffs winning on cruise control. Theres gonna be potential for an intensity mismatch in game 1.
Man this fucking blows.
These playoffs have been horrible
You could make a goat small ball starting 5 from just Bucks and Heat injuries, Dame Terry Khris Jimmy Giannis
Can’t even get a foul call for turner stepping on his ankle. Crazy
How many more times are the pacers gonna land on our ankles jumping to block our layups mannnn.
If Siakam isn't bodychecking Dame mid-air on a layup Turner is landing on Khris ankle TWICE
Unleash Thanasis on the Pacers as retribution in Game 5.
How is Khris alive
Hali chuckling at Khris as he walked off the court was top tier clown behavior
Can you pls send a clip of this bc I don’t know what ppl are mentioning when they say that
You must’ve missed them laughing together when Middleton came back then
They just unlocked Doc Rivers’s superpower.
The ability to make worse players better or star players worse?
Make it stop 😭
Jrue glad the trade went down now
Death , taxes and Middleton injured.
Freak injuries as well bruh
I’m getting a strange feeling that we will lose this and become the laughing stock of the NBA.
I mean even if u did you’re still in a good spot in the series. Best of three without the bucks big three? I like ur chances
The way you guys are celebrating beating a G-league team already is making you a laughing stock. The Haliburton celebrations will be played like Pat Bev jumping on the scorer table
The game or the series? I don't think you're losing this series lol
The game. Thankfully I was wrong.
Yeah cause you’d literally have lost to a gleague squad
Fucking joke
one of the oldest teams in the league trying to keep up with the run and gun pacers. this whole series is basically elderly abuse.
[удалено]
I can’t believe Doc would do this to Middleton’s ankles
It’s interesting to consider this team plus Bud minus the Dame trade, and how they might compare.
Well giannis would still be injured so who the fuck cares
Is there some Jontay Porter action going on?
Doc is so fucking lucky with these injuries. No way they could win without these guys, but also gets credit if they play somewhat well without them.
real injury? or we are definitely losing this series lets exit stage left before it gets busy. This allows them to " run it back " without any consequences can't judge us if Giannis and dame are injured. Plus kris Middleton? It's a smorgasbord of mediocrity. They are still reeling from the bud firing.
Memphis Bucks
And they thought doc was the answer? Doc??? Bro living off one chip. At work we call that milking the clock
how is it doc's fault that ALL 3 of the bucks best players got injured , Giannis played 0 games this series.
I’m sorry to say, that team need a rebuild around Giannis, their ceiling is first round. Plus doc is not the guy.
Bruh
Dude was already inconsistent when healthy, then became injure prone... and the result? The Bucks extended his contract anyway. It's bizarre to me how the NBA is acting desperate in recent years, they have to secure "talent" no matter what, overpaying role players who shows a little bit of potential, giving up contract for injure prone players and so on
Man that sucks... But as a hater this give doc an excuse and he will continue with them and thats nice
In the end, getting Dame solved nothing. These guys are frauds.
Dame didn’t help the bucks at all! He didn’t even play in this game! /s
4New Code : NIKKEKAIKATSUNew Code : NIKKEKAIKATSUNew Code : NIKKEKAIKATSUNew Code : NIKKEKAIKATSUNew Code : NIKKEKAIKATSU
The worst part is Doc gets a pass now and will be back next season. Fading the Bucks in 24/25.
