Bucks 2022-2023 Season Thread

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'll still believe there's a glimmer if the Bucks lose tonight and get Giannis back for Game 5, but obviously this is getting close to dire. If he doesn't go tonight, he's gotta be way more hurt than they've let on, which I started to sort of feel like last game.

My gut feeling is they'll even it tonight with or without him but I would feel lot better if he can go. The fan in me says we're rattling off 3 straight. But I'd be lying if I said this hasn't gotten worrisome, to the point they have me worried even if Giannis can go.

Giannis is supposed to be back tonight unless there are setbacks.  I believe Giannis will play tonight.  How well or for how long are the big question marks.

[adambr2]

Giannis set to play with no restrictions. Have to wonder if this would have been the timeline either way or if they'd be opting on the conservative side again if they weren't feeling a little bit of added urgency now being down 2-1 in a series they expected to control.

I’m guessing they were hoping to steal game 3 in Miami without him and then have Giannis suit up with a few more days of rest for game 5 in Milwaukee with the series, at worst, tied 2-2.

Unable to watch tonight but the start looks good so far.

Took them about 2 minutes to piss the entire lead away once Giannis took a seat on the bench.

I'm getting sick of the Miami butlers.

[adambr2]

Feels like the Heat shoot about 70% from 3 against the Bucks most nights. 

[adambr2]

Essentially zero help from Middleton or Holiday.  

Trade deadline savior Jae Crowder yet to even play. 

[adambr2]

Pretty good to be leading by 7 at half, all things considered. 

[BruisedCrew]

The Bucks just can’t put these guys away. They’re getting into the “choke it away” zone. 

[adambr2]

JHC, Bucks. Are you serious right now?

[BruisedCrew]

Jimmy Butler can beat the Bucks single-handedly. 

[adambr2]

Oh my freaking God. Biggest bunch of chokers ever. 

A 0-13 run late in the 4th against an 8 seed? You kidding me right now? You guys call yourselves championship contenders?

We still thumbing our noses at the Heat?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Laughable choke. Fork'em. Go home guys. 

Pathetic. 

[BruisedCrew]

Heat in 5, and Giannis injury can’t be used as an excuse. They are just getting their butts kicked. 

[adambr2]

Budenholzer should be fired. This is beyond disgusting. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Bud should be canned. It's not knee jerk either. This is inexcusable. 

[adambr2]

You losers blew a 12 point lead with 5 minutes to play against an 8 seed. 

You are the laughingstock of the NBA.

[jason21nl]

Bud is done after this season.  This is a choke job of epic proportions 

[HarryDoyle]

Pathetic, but I can't say I'm surprised. I didn't want any part of this Heat team. Thanks NBA for your hairbrained play in round.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This is just about the perfect Wisconsin sports trifecta. Our teams just always find truly fascinating ways to choke. It's transcendent. 

[HarryDoyle]

This team needs a minor rebuild and get younger.
