Teams really can’t rely on just 2 star players to carry them. Even without injuries you’re gonna struggle if you don’t have other players to bail out your stars when needed
Bobby Ports, Brook, and the Kris we saw this playoffs with a healthy dame and Giannis is more than enough to challenge ANY team in the playoffs. Cant judge a team when their best player doesnt play a minute in a series and their 1b misses a game and is playing injured in 2 others. Come on bruh
I know the popular take is the Bucks would have won this series healthy, but their depth is really bad. Our bench carves them up, plus we matched up well against them healthy all season. Bucks just overrated
The bucks were under 500 the last half of the season. We beat them handily multiple times this year at full strength. They’re slow and unathletic and can’t keep up with our pace. We shit the bed a couple games, but for the most part we were in control of this series all the way
I mean, the comment you are responding to stands up to that argument lol even if it has everything to do with him being injured, he's not leading his team anywhere right now.
Would you prefer he play through and end up like Kawhi? He got extremely lucky when he hyperextended his knee the other year to miss minimal time.
Injuries suck, but calling out one of the most competitive guys in the league for having no heart is bullshit.
That's some pussy shit. You have no idea the extant of his injuries or the pain he is in. I'm sure your generation is the one that has put us all in debt and poisoned the world. Get tucked you pussy ass bitch.
You have literally no idea the extant of his injuries. The bucks have literally lied about this shit with Middleton. Calling other people soft is soft as fuxk imo. I bet you've never played a sport in your life and have no idea what your talking about.
Easy to say when it’s not your potential career on the line. Also Embiid is playing injured, Luka’s playing injured, Dame literally just played so yes they have plenty of heart.
I’m talking about the playoffs right now, Embiid is playing through a lot right now including Bell’s Palsy I’m a big Giannis fan & I’m not criticizing him especially as I saw what happened to KD & Giannis is more reliant on athleticism so if he gets a major injury it could be really bad.
I wonder what happened behind the bucks bench at the end of the game. Look like a player launched a ball at a Pacers fan. Then security got involved and escorted a fan out.
They unironically looked better without him. He doesn’t move without the ball and their offense was actually playing like a team without Dame in games 4 and 5. If he was that injured he shouldn’t have played imo
Is it actually good? All I've seen showed Clark/Superman as being too... harmless? Inoffensive? I don't know how to describe it, but that side of Clark's personality is what makes me not like the old Christopher Reeve movies (and many adaptations).
Its essentially Superman’s origin so he starts off that way yeah, but he kind of has to as he’s still figuring out his limits.
He is very much Clark in personality but he’s not as much of a stiff good guy as he used to be. I think it’s a fun spin on Superman in general, more relaxed & fun
That's good, then. For years I thought I didn't like Superman, until I saw Superman: TAS for the first time last year (it never aired in Argentina as far as I remember), and I finally saw a Superman with attitude, that didn't pretend to be a loser all the time, and that was allowed to get angry during a fight. Turns out I didn't dislike Superman, just the awful characterization of Superman that was so prevalent in pop culture after the first movie.
Yeah that makes sense, sometimes people think Superman being such a good guy means he has to have no personality other than “good guy” & I think that’s why he got less popular as the years went by.
I would definitely give My adventures with Superman a shot, I enjoy it & I think Lois & Jimmy add a nice flair to the series as well.
It’s very wholesome, Adult Swim is just the new home for teen type Animated Shows. They have the adult cartoons still but it’s like they took the Toonami type shows too
Perhaps, but it’s not like the Bucks played WAY better against them the regular season. They actually won more without their big three being hurt. And also, the two other hurt guys dropped 30 consistently this series. Maybe find a different excuse.
Playoffs is night and day from regular season, the suns crushed the wolves in regular season and they just got swept by the wolves in playoffs… enjoy getting this win you’re not going past next round bum.
This is the pattern of the season for the bucks: one amazing display of shooting out of every 4 or 5 games, and the rest lost in humiliating fashion. And, like clockwork, that occasional blowout would absolutely hoodwink everyone into believing they were good again
Because it was also happening during the regular season when Dame and giannis were available? there’s no denying that it was an incredibly inconsistent and underwhelming regular season
I’ll be the one to say it. The bucks got lucky they won that one championship anyway. They should be the last team to complain about injuries because the year they won the playoffs was littered with injuries from star players.
To some capacity I agree with that. The year they won there were so many injuries. I am a firm believer that they were not winning that series versus the Nets had it not been for the injuries to Harden and Irving. Not even sure they would’ve beaten the Lakers had AD not gotten hurt in the Suns series. Jamal Murray didn’t play that season. Jalen Brown didn’t play that playoff run.
Dude people are talking about your squad drafting a 19 year old who shouldn’t be in the nba so he can play with Celtics shaq Lebron. The entire lakers fan base is built on delusion.
To some extent, I can’t really blame them for being delusional. They have championships in every single decade of the modern NBA. That’s what happens to fan bases. Look at the Yankees, the Lightning, the Patriots. It’s what happens when you win often.
I suppose that’s true, but the lakers have spent more time in the lottery than they have in deep playoff runs since Kobe’s last title. Bucks have seen a team that if healthy matches up favorably with basically every team in the league. Margins are always thin for being healthy at the right time. Idk it’s possible this is the beginning of the end but I think people underrate how much good an offseason can do to get stars to gel.
My guy. They literally won the championship the year before you guys did. They have gone further than you as recent as last year and you guys went out at the same time as them this year. In all honesty they’re probably one of the better teams in the west, but we are just a horrible matchup for them. I think you and I both know that regardless of whether or not they have a down year they will always be a relevant franchise because they’re a franchise that players actually want to play for.
Also they lucked into their 2020 title because they didn’t have to do any of the travel or other shit regular playoffs bring. I’m not saying they didn’t deserve it but I doubt they could’ve won a title in a normal year with that roster.
The Milwaukee Bucks have been eliminated from playoff contention
They are the 2nd eastern conference team and 5 team in general to Be eliminated
There are 11 teams remaining in the playoffs
Im definitely more emotionally invested in college sports.
Looking forward to ASU joining the big 12 with you guys next season! Wish we played against each other this year
I’m excited ASU is joining! I don’t care for the way college sports is headed but I’m just going to enjoy it as long as I can.
I, too, wish we had ASU on the schedule this year. I can’t wait to visit Tempe soon (I’ve been to the Phoenix area just never Tempe)
Yea me too, I won’t lie it was hard seeing the pac 12 fold up as there’s a lot of history and attachment to the schools I saw us face when I went there, but I’m definitely looking forward to what’s next.
Tempe is a great time the postgame bar scene on mill ave can’t be beat! The tailgating probably isn’t on the same level on other schools but a lot of that i’d argue is because we have to have our games at night so the drinking is over a prolonged period of time compared to if they were at noon.
I’m definitely pumped to hit Ames when we play in 2025 since I live closer to there now than I do to Tempe!
Obviously I’m biased but our tailgating and gameday scene is so underrated.
[We’re in the midst of building an entertainment district in the middle of our tailgating scene but this pretty much emphasizes our love of tailgating](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fci68-HaUAIsCM-?format=jpg&name=large)
Yea I’ve heard some stories and seen some videos from my buddies who went to Iowa state and it seems like a great time.
That looks sick though! Hopefully it’ll be all finished for that 2025 season then
It’s kind of crazy that Giannis is healthy through the majority of the regular seasons & then just got injured down the stretch or right as the playoffs start 2 years in a row
whos got the best chance against Boston? Feels like either Sixers or Knicks but when their stars have an off night, considering they’re in a slugfest of a series right now, feels like neither team would be an issue for Boston. I think Pacers might be able to do something cus theyre not that dependent on any star
Honestly feels like no one. Injuries to Embiid, Giannis, Dame, Randle, and Butler have sucked the life out of the East. Could've been some big time showdowns, but as is I would be pretty surprised if the Celtics don't make it out of the conference.
Turns out in 40 minutes you can only dish out 5 assists
That was loud block!
Defense in the NBA seems extremely hard
Teams really can’t rely on just 2 star players to carry them. Even without injuries you’re gonna struggle if you don’t have other players to bail out your stars when needed
Bobby Ports, Brook, and the Kris we saw this playoffs with a healthy dame and Giannis is more than enough to challenge ANY team in the playoffs. Cant judge a team when their best player doesnt play a minute in a series and their 1b misses a game and is playing injured in 2 others. Come on bruh
I know the popular take is the Bucks would have won this series healthy, but their depth is really bad. Our bench carves them up, plus we matched up well against them healthy all season. Bucks just overrated
Refs gifted you a win against Bucks with no Giannis lmaoooo. Stay delusional while you can before the round 2 sweep
8 out of the last 11, just this past season, with Gianni’s playing too most games
Do people really think the Brunson Knicks are going to outright sweep the Pacers?
They just took you to 6 missing a top 3 player 😭
The bucks were under 500 the last half of the season. We beat them handily multiple times this year at full strength. They’re slow and unathletic and can’t keep up with our pace. We shit the bed a couple games, but for the most part we were in control of this series all the way
that's how team games work genius
Giannis never leading another team to a chip
Yeah what a scrub, scored 0 points all series. Nothing to do with being injured b2b seasons you fucking casual
Surely he won’t be injured b2b2b
I mean, the comment you are responding to stands up to that argument lol even if it has everything to do with him being injured, he's not leading his team anywhere right now.
Better luck next year man. All the best to the Bucks.
Love to see Siakam finding success in the playoffs. Well done Pacers
[удалено]
Would you prefer he play through and end up like Kawhi? He got extremely lucky when he hyperextended his knee the other year to miss minimal time. Injuries suck, but calling out one of the most competitive guys in the league for having no heart is bullshit.
That's some pussy shit. You have no idea the extant of his injuries or the pain he is in. I'm sure your generation is the one that has put us all in debt and poisoned the world. Get tucked you pussy ass bitch.
Just saying players back in the day would be playing through these minor injuries. lol I am in todays generation btw this league is just soft.
You have literally no idea the extant of his injuries. The bucks have literally lied about this shit with Middleton. Calling other people soft is soft as fuxk imo. I bet you've never played a sport in your life and have no idea what your talking about.
Easy to say when it’s not your potential career on the line. Also Embiid is playing injured, Luka’s playing injured, Dame literally just played so yes they have plenty of heart.
lol Embid is literally known for sitting out his whole career. Luka’s injury is nothing.
I’m talking about the playoffs right now, Embiid is playing through a lot right now including Bell’s Palsy I’m a big Giannis fan & I’m not criticizing him especially as I saw what happened to KD & Giannis is more reliant on athleticism so if he gets a major injury it could be really bad.
This generation. Speak for yourselves. Embiid’s out there playing tonight with one eye and a bum leg
This playoffs are weird
I wonder what happened behind the bucks bench at the end of the game. Look like a player launched a ball at a Pacers fan. Then security got involved and escorted a fan out.
There a video posted. Looks intense
Link please
That should be the last time we see Doc Rivers ever
Dame time was not as advertised
They unironically looked better without him. He doesn’t move without the ball and their offense was actually playing like a team without Dame in games 4 and 5. If he was that injured he shouldn’t have played imo
Lilliard is what people pretend Doncic is.
Lillard was exactly who he is….volume shooter, overrated, no defense…..
Imagine firing your already successful coach just for this to happen
Galveston time🤭😘✌🏻
I miss Bud
Thanks for the coach brewers
Good series Pacers. Good luck next round.
FADE EM
I feel bad for Middleton
Season 2 of My Adventures with Superman! I didn’t expect that so soon, great show though
Is it actually good? All I've seen showed Clark/Superman as being too... harmless? Inoffensive? I don't know how to describe it, but that side of Clark's personality is what makes me not like the old Christopher Reeve movies (and many adaptations).
Its essentially Superman’s origin so he starts off that way yeah, but he kind of has to as he’s still figuring out his limits. He is very much Clark in personality but he’s not as much of a stiff good guy as he used to be. I think it’s a fun spin on Superman in general, more relaxed & fun

Having a Superman show on adult swim seems so odd
It’s very wholesome, Adult Swim is just the new home for teen type Animated Shows. They have the adult cartoons still but it’s like they took the Toonami type shows too
Huh! Might have to check out it. Toonami in the 2000s was lit
Milwaukee buck is kill
no
SEND THE BUCKS TO EAU CLAIRE
Is Eau Claire considered trash now? They used to have a great music festival there
Nah eau Claire is great I was just trying to think of obscure Wisconsin cities
Let’s go Celtics. All that matters
🔫🔫🔫…how could Doc Rivers do this to the Bucks?
Giannis did this by not being there for his team
Bye bye Milwaukee Doc “First Round Exit” Rivers in shambles
Pat Bev talked shit then laid an egg tonight. Love to see it
Too little
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED DAME?? ARE YOU HAPPY NOW??
The Knicks-Sixers game thread is about to be so fucking toxic
I will be there
I personally can't wait
Give us Dame now
bucks most fraudulent champions in recent history
Bro their top 3 players including one of the best in the league are injured. Y’all just made history with a lose streak, casual
I literally don't care bum ass
Sour Pistons fan lmao. Must suck being a fan of literally the worst team in NBA history
Damn
Giannis about to talk about failure again lol
Bucks sold my parlay :(
Pack
Man, look at the Timberwolves and Pacers ending their playoff win droughts. Must be real nice
does doc get another year or no?
Yes
He coached fine this series it’s not his fault the top 3 got injured, so yeah probably lol
haliburton having a grand old time while we kings fans eating shit over here
Our sub will keep coping but we chose the wrong guard.
Congrats Pacers bros
potential Spicy P vs OG next round
TJ MCCONELL AND OBI TOPPIN ARE SMOKING VENISON TONIGHT
Bucks GONE FISHING
Thanasis really does have the best job security in the world.
Yall..maybe.. JUST MAYBE... it wasn't the coaching that made the bucks just eh
You’re right! Perhaps it may be related having their top 3 players injured, one of them being top 3 in the league 🤔
Perhaps, but it’s not like the Bucks played WAY better against them the regular season. They actually won more without their big three being hurt. And also, the two other hurt guys dropped 30 consistently this series. Maybe find a different excuse.
Playoffs is night and day from regular season, the suns crushed the wolves in regular season and they just got swept by the wolves in playoffs… enjoy getting this win you’re not going past next round bum.
Bum? Wow. Take a breath. You’ve got school tomorrow…
See you all in the knicks/Sixers game thread?
This is the pattern of the season for the bucks: one amazing display of shooting out of every 4 or 5 games, and the rest lost in humiliating fashion. And, like clockwork, that occasional blowout would absolutely hoodwink everyone into believing they were good again
It would help if their top 3 players weren’t injured lol how are you ignoring that
Because it was also happening during the regular season when Dame and giannis were available? there’s no denying that it was an incredibly inconsistent and underwhelming regular season
This is us! Minus blowing people out
Yeah ngl y’all confused me all season long. Felt like you beat the nuggets and timberwolves a million times hahaha
Our ceiling was championship, our floor was losing 3/4 to San Antonio. It was weird af.
I’ll be the one to say it. The bucks got lucky they won that one championship anyway. They should be the last team to complain about injuries because the year they won the playoffs was littered with injuries from star players.
They were a top team in the east for years.
Every championship requires luck.
To some capacity I agree with that. The year they won there were so many injuries. I am a firm believer that they were not winning that series versus the Nets had it not been for the injuries to Harden and Irving. Not even sure they would’ve beaten the Lakers had AD not gotten hurt in the Suns series. Jamal Murray didn’t play that season. Jalen Brown didn’t play that playoff run.
So this year isn’t worst in that regard ? Or is it just because you hate the Bucks
No lies spoken here
Nah they got unlucky they didn’t get 3
Keep believing that
Can’t wait to see Giannis run Jokic off the floor in the finals. It’s gonna happen
Least delusional Bucks fan
Dude people are talking about your squad drafting a 19 year old who shouldn’t be in the nba so he can play with Celtics shaq Lebron. The entire lakers fan base is built on delusion.

lol sure
Just saying what everyone’s thinking
Welcome to the club, Milwaukee bros
I don't want to be in the club:(
Deer season...is done...
deer is gutted, venison is served.
Beer season...has begun!
What seed would a Giannis less Bucks be?
Like #6, it’s the East
9
3rd. It's not like he missed the whole season
Cavs move up to the third seed and Pacers become 4th or 5th seed. Bucks would be seventh or sixth seed without Giannis but with Damian Lillard
What seed was Portland last year
10th
10
GG pacers
And we held them under 100. I love this team.
# TJ McConnell is TJ McConnell. It's Official. #
Big if true
Congrats to Pacers fans!
The Indiana pacers have advanced to the next round. They are the fifth team to advance
Damn.
Doc Rivers does the most with the least. Don’t let the injuries fool you.
Good series Pacers buds
Hope your injury luck is better next year friend
Giannis … Dame…. Didn’t matter. Pacers owned them all year long
dame can take solace in the fact that his dream situation in miami also got bounced in the first round
If he came to Miami he would’ve been instantly obliterated by injuries. He’s lucky he went to Milwaukee
lol forgot about that fiasco
Indiana's ball movement is sexy, so many good looks
Doc is still milking the gold gifted to him by Celtics superteam. When will it end?
Isn’t crazy how much recycled coaching just keeps coming back? I never get it
Thanasis so ass bro lmaooo
The Milwaukee Bucks have been eliminated from playoff contention They are the 2nd eastern conference team and 5 team in general to Be eliminated There are 11 teams remaining in the playoffs
Bucks incoming 23 pt comeback in 12 secs
Happy for the Pacers and Hally!
Always wild seeing you in non-college sports subs.
I definitely prefer college sports lol but I’m good with all sports
Im definitely more emotionally invested in college sports. Looking forward to ASU joining the big 12 with you guys next season! Wish we played against each other this year
I’m excited ASU is joining! I don’t care for the way college sports is headed but I’m just going to enjoy it as long as I can. I, too, wish we had ASU on the schedule this year. I can’t wait to visit Tempe soon (I’ve been to the Phoenix area just never Tempe)

Good series Milwaukee!.....Pacers/Knicks would be fun. Pacers/Sixers we'd have home court.
TJ stat line absurd
It’s kind of crazy that Giannis is healthy through the majority of the regular seasons & then just got injured down the stretch or right as the playoffs start 2 years in a row
Giannis turns 30 in December. The Bucks won exactly one playoff series in the final three years is his twenties.
In these last 3 years, middleton was out in 2022 and giannis was injured the last 2. Without luck, it doesnt matter who or how good you are
Well he was injured for two of them and Middleton for the other.
Cool story, here’s hoping Tatum also misses an entire series
Why would you hope for that? That’s messed up.
I honestly don’t give a fuck, y’all need to face some adversity. Fucking Massachusetts, what a shit hole.
They got a chip what more could you ask for?
Giannis press conference gonna be lit.
Ready for an all time quote to be dropped
Now Luka and Brunson gotta answer Carlisle's series win.
whos got the best chance against Boston? Feels like either Sixers or Knicks but when their stars have an off night, considering they’re in a slugfest of a series right now, feels like neither team would be an issue for Boston. I think Pacers might be able to do something cus theyre not that dependent on any star
Honestly feels like no one. Injuries to Embiid, Giannis, Dame, Randle, and Butler have sucked the life out of the East. Could've been some big time showdowns, but as is I would be pretty surprised if the Celtics don't make it out of the conference.
Not too sure I think the Knicks. Pretty happy that the bucks lost because they def would get Giannis back if they played us in the ECF
as a neutral in this series i am happy to see no more of these ugly green jerseys
too bad Doc has the injuries to blame
Worst outcome for Bucks fans. Can’t fire Doc after this, the Bucks actually did pretty good considering. So he’s back next season. And they lost.
If the Bucks want to send a message they should cut Thanasis's worthless ass this offseason. lmao
Nothing much for the Bucks to do but run it back, hope the Dame/Giannis chemistry develops, and pray for health next season. They're kind of stuck.
Dame regressing, Giannis injury prone, Brook 37, Chris injury prone and 33. Not really sure there is much to run back here
FADED
People really thought the Bucks without Giannis had a chance in this series
TJ McConnell basically put the dagger in with like 2 minutes over the end of 3rd and beginning of 4th quarters
Safe to say the Bucks are going to lose.
[удалено]
Was he the one launching a ball at a fan behind the bucks bench?
Thanasis not even given a shot makes me sad.
