I hope they fire him, though I don't think it'll ultimately do a whole lot. If you go back far enough I dared suggest he was on the hot seat the season after losing to Toronto. I think Covid bubble circus bailed him out. Then there was a title which buys you at least 2 seasons. Is what it is. I never, never thought I'd see the Bucks win a championship in my life, so there's that. We did get that.
-
Don't think I agree. I think he'll be retained because of past goodwill, unfortunately the same team running it back again, and Giannis. I think next season is his job-saving tour, but I can't see this core winning it again. I doubt anyone in the office saw this coming so they are not equipped for a coaching search and I don't know of any hot candidates available. Not saying there aren't any, I legitimately don't know. Just by gut feeling they give him a pass though. I don't think he really got a "pass" last year. They went 7 games with a really good Boston team.
-
We suck and were going to lose this series anyway, but missing the 2nd free throw on purpose, up by 1 when the opponent has a timeout, is a real head scratcher to me. At the absolute least, making it is not this super dumb bonehead call.
-
Won't lie, with how that went, I'm glad it's over. I had zero faith in them winning 3 about halfway through the 4th. And I was tracking it on my phone without watching.
-
Going take an awful lot to get me to care next year. Glad to see the Bucks join the tradition of Wisconsin postseason futility.
-
Absolutely perfect ending play to that circus.
-
40-17 since the start of the 4th. Goodnight. This is the worst choke I've seen in the NBA in my lifetime. What a disastrous waste.
-
Why? They had a timeout. But sweet Jesus. Choked a 16 PT lead again. Is there a soul in this state that thinks this team can win a championship this season?
-
Vincent is Fred Van Fleet. It's just getting ridiculous. The guy is a total pumpkin for 82 and he's been a nightmare this series..
-
I'm gonna avoid this one. Another loss is embarrassing and a win is just a small step. Think I'll save myself the investment and just hope I wake up at 1am to decent news. I still think they can do this but that's probably my own denial.
-
You can't pretend like Giannis being out wasn't a huge factor here. It was massive. But they're all professionals. Once they're up 2-1, getting out alive is just a lot more plausible for them. At that point it was pretty much win Game 4 and this is all but over. And they needed Butler to go full MJ AND the Bucks to just completely implode in unbelievable fashion. I'm not even going to concede the Heat are better than anybody thought. I'll repeat what I've repeated: It's completely inexcusable for the Bucks to lose this series, ESPECIALLY with the losses of Herro and Oladipo. All I can say about them is that they're more like your typical 6 seed than an 8. TLDR: People should have been looking past the Heat. The Bucks should have (I guess still could) beat them. It's a catastrophic failure of execution if they don't; it doesn't invalidate the 82-game sample of what the Heat are.

I think there are some pretty over-dramatic takes. I think this series is just an unreal choke and it's that simple. I'm sure Holiday and Middleton are worse than they were 3 years ago, but this was a team capable of winning again. Holiday has been much of the same guy he's always been. A strong defender and boom or bust offensively. Midds had a bad season overall, but he has always been a bit inconsistent. Ultimately when this series ends, IMO the blame lies with 3 guys - Bud, Holiday and Middleton. I still can't wrap my head around Lopez dropping 33 in a game Giannis played...and we lost...to the Heat. With Bud I don't know where to start. We can pick apart his rotations all day but the way he allowed last night to unravel without a timeout until it was way too late, just incomprehensible. He's a dope.
-
Dude I know we are rightfully p'd off, but Middleton had some absolute monster moments in that Finals run. He's been a big disappointment this year though, there's no doubt about that. It's maybe 50/50 we lose to Boston anyway last year with him but I would have loved to have him. He is the only good Iso scorer on the team. The gap between Giannis and any 2nd best player would be massive, but I don't feel like roster construction is why we can't win the Finals. It could always be better, but we are witnessing an incredible show of ineptitude right now. This isn't just a 1v8, they are missing 2 core players. It's unfathomable. And while I was wrong that we'd beat them without Giannis, we absolutely SHOULD have, without Herro, if we have 3 borderline all-stars, a DPOY and 6th man candidate. Bud should 100% hang for this. It's just completely outrageous.
-
I'm sort of expecting an extension for Love if goes like 3 weeks and doesn't look completely lost. I don't hate it. It would be really nice to have an above average QB locked in for a while at a discount.
-
Ok whatever, 5-6 😁
-
I'm the sucker who's telling himself all we have to do is win Game 6. Lol. Why do I do this to myself?
-
Yeah, that is truly the most ridiculous part of this circus. They don't have Tyler Herro and it made absolutely no difference. The level of our suckage here is absolutely historic.
-
Yeah I'm sorry but I can't get myself to blame the play-in set up nor am I blown away by the incredible Heat. We sucked and choked in 3/4 of games. We thought we could sleepwalk through a 1 v 8. Boston would have smashed us anyway.
-
This is just about the perfect Wisconsin sports trifecta. Our teams just always find truly fascinating ways to choke. It's transcendent.
-
Bud should be canned. It's not knee jerk either. This is inexcusable.
-
Laughable choke. Fork'em. Go home guys. Pathetic.
-
If they aren't really good that 65% is going to be interesting. If they are middling, say 6-8 at some point but have a chance for a playoff spot, it'll be interesting to see how they play that hand.
-
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.
-
This is far less true than it was pretty recently. They have seen a considerable boom in the permanent metro area population. LCOL, jobs, and retirees seeking the tax shelter. It is also just a really nice area with a lot going on, miles away from the strip - even if hotter than hell.
-
Honestly we should be fine. Time to stop screwing around though. Butler is hurt, Herro is out, Oladipo is out. Giannis has to get out there and end this nonsense, hopefully we can wake up.
