Yeah impressive he came back, respect the fight but he hasn’t been his regular self let alone prime dame this series.

irelli | Trail Blazers

39 | 12 days ago

That’s more because of Giannis than Dame though

Dame looked just like Portland Dame literally every game Giannis sat. He averaged 33 a game on 66% TS% last year despite being injured against this same pacers team

He’s a PnR PG and Giannis doesn’t set screens. Its a horrible pairing.

Pretty sure at one point last season Dame literally said something like, “I’m not that guy anymore.” His skills started fading when/because his personal life got a lot harder around the same time as the trade

Feels bad man

Wasn’t he saying that in relation to playing next to Giannis. Like he was the guy in Portland but he understand everything runs through Giannis so he can’t be that guy anymore.

Ok_Management_2695

101 | 12 days ago

He’s gotta weigh “loyalty” vs his pursuit of championships and winning, which has stagnated to a halt.

This is a man that just 3 short years ago took a 3-2 lead on the Celtics in the second round after a heroic 40 point performance on the road, just a year after a monumental finals performance. He seemed destined for potential back to back titles, and literally everything since then has gone wrong for this team.

There’s just no tangible way to improve this team with the lack of assets they have and the 60 million they have tied up in Dame, who sadly is probably done as an elite player in this league after tonight

No-Cantaloupe-6535 | Pacers

138 | 12 days ago

He won em a title, he doesn’t owe anybody shit

InexorableWaffle | Bucks

11 | 12 days ago

Yep, exactly this. We’ve tried everything possible to put a contender around him and he’s been as patient as you could possibly ask for, but it hasn’t worked. As neat as it would be for him to be a Buck his entire career, it would kill me to see him try to carry this floundering team that no longer has a legitimate shot at contending in any meaningful capacity when he’s still in his prime.

composer_7 | Hawks

30 | 12 days ago

I’m sure having Dame in his ear will teach Giannis a lot about what staying loyal to a stagnant team leads to.

Notcloselyrelated

23 | 12 days ago

>and literally everything since then has gone wrong for this team.

KInda interesting how Giannis’, Jokic’s and Luka’s teams all went the same route.

Giannis wins title “wow, next face of the leaaaaaaand this team is not as good as it was, aight”

Jokic wins title “oh wow this guy is the next face of the leaaaaaand they fired their coach and the team is no longer the team to beat in the west”

Luka makes the finals “oh wow this Mavs team is building something scaaaaand they traded him”

edit: Not to say that none of these guys are the “faces of the league” I am talking about their teams who went to the finals (²⁄₃ won the ring) and then they didn’t make it back despite looking like they were building something serious

MC-Jdf | Warriors

21 | 12 days ago

Giannis has always put pressure on the front office to make changes whenever he was up for an extension. He takes loyalty seriously but I could totally see him walking if he feels like the FO can’t or wouldn’t.

lebron_games

22 | 12 days ago

Lillard is also the prime example of placing too much on loyalty and losing your chance to compete as you get too old. I doubt giannis sees that and wants to stay

Ok_Possible_5702

10 | 12 days ago

Giannis is smart. He has seen where the excessive pursuit of “loyalty” has brought Dame. I think he will quietly ask out, telling the organization he will do whatever he can to fetch the highest possible price, as long as his new team is still a contender.

JALbert

18 | 12 days ago

It’s likely a deal gets done, but there’s a non-zero chance Giannis is willing to Mike Trout out the rest of his career there.

coolycooly | Nets

63 | 12 days ago

I would actually be stunned if this wasn’t Giannis’s last series as a Buck. The roster is just so bad and by the time they get pieces around him again he’ll be out of his prime. Either he really likes Milwaukee or he is getting the fuck out of there. Usually with superstars I think they’ll ride it out a couple more years but the odds Giannis doesn’t get traded this summer are really low. Also Milwaukee could get a haul they desperately need.

BeHereNow91 | Bucks

24 | 12 days ago

I don’t think Giannis will ever ask out but there’ll be a point where he and the FO agree it’s the only way forward for both sides. If we don’t think we can give him a competitive roster next year, we need to trade him.

ForneauCosmique | Spurs

Giannis deserves better

Farjon29 | East

342 | 12 days ago

I still get so confused how Kuzma is this bad at basketball and he’s been in the NBA for like 8 years. He truly was just fucking around in Washington

DollarLate_DayShort | WAS

181 | 12 days ago

In Kuzma’s defense we generally ALWAYS see high usage players who get traded mid season, look like borderline ass for the remainder of that year. He went from a 1a role over the last 2 seasons to the 3rd option, AT BEST. So he’s struggling with finding his role in the pecking order. & I’m sure Doc Rivers coaching doesn’t exactly help either

Farjon29 | East

85 | 12 days ago

But it’s also like, he can’t shoot, he has no ball control so finishing at the rim (his best way of scoring) is way harder, he draws fouls but when he gets them he’s a bad FT shooter, and on top of that he’s a bad off-ball defender. Like in a playoff setting it’s hard to imagine him as an above average level player

pifhluk | Bucks

20 | 12 days ago

That’s the difference between being on Washington where the other team is giving maybe 80% max effort against you every night to the Bucks where teams are giving 100%. IE Kuzma isn’t a good basketball player, he’s just another one of these bad teams stats dudes.

kyleb402 | Bucks

551 | 12 days ago

Apart from when it looked like Giannis tore his knee apart in 2021 this is just about the worst I’ve ever felt being a fan of this team.

Not only is this season over but we’re going to have $55 million in salary out the entire season next year too.

There’s just no legitimate path forward for this team as a contender and as much as I’m going to hate it it’s just not fair to Giannis to keep him here and have him try to keep this entire thing afloat on his own.

And what is the best case scenario anyway? The play in?

It really just feels like it’s all over.

EggsAndRice7171 | Pacers

82 | 12 days ago

I genuinely hate the new CBA and did before it even took effect despite the positivity fans here had for it. 90% of the time these superstar trades happened because the team wasn’t going to anywhere. Usually the franchise that trades the superstar lead to them being better in the future then they ever would’ve been keeping their star. I get being tired of trade requests but there had to be a way with more finesse to handle it. I can’t help but feel it was done for owners wallets more than anything.

College_Prestige | San Francisco Warriors

Look at the original post. They were flaming that cba at the time tol

Relo_bate

22 | 12 days ago

Nah because teams like the Suns still exist where the owner splashes big money and it fucks them up in the long run.

It’s to make sure teams like the current Celtics can’t stay together for more than 3 years.

The Celtics will lose Jrue and Hortford and will have to trade KP to keep their core or they will have to split up their core to retain depth. None of which are ideal for the org.

EggsAndRice7171 | Pacers

15 | 12 days ago

This is somewhat true and I’m sorry but it’s lame as fuck. The Celtics did a good job of building that team if it would be a dynasty they earned it. I get that sucks for fans of other franchises (pacers have zero rings) but maybe other owners shouldn’t suck at drafting/trading/team building then. Brown and Tatum didn’t choose to be Celtics and neither did Jrue or Derrick white. It’s not even a case of big market advantage.

Ok_Possible_5702

45 | 12 days ago

Houston (especially if they get bounced in the first round like it looks likely) should absolutely go all-in for Giannis. They need scoring, and Giannis provides it without negatively impacting their defense-first mentality.

The Rockets have enough picks and young players to trade for Giannis - one of Brooks or FVV will do the bulk of salary matching, and then depending who you’re shipping the players to, you can debate which one of the many 20-25 years old you should send out.

imho the main problems the Rockets would have with Giannis is fit around the roster. Giannis works best with 3 point shooters around him that open the lane, and right now the Rockets don’t have them.

fatkamp | Warriors

19 | 12 days ago

Why in the world would the Bucks want FVV and Brooks when they could get the same picks from someone else with actual players that are valuable

PretentiousPanda | Bucks

32 | 12 days ago

Who cares about semi competitive. Players like Giannis come around once in a generation. You don’t trade him until he says he wants out.

[deleted]

27 | 12 days ago

[deleted]

jer113 | Rockets

13 | 12 days ago

No point having a generational player if you’re capped out, lacking depth, have an aging roster, have no picks until 2031, and will be scrapping to make the play in. I know it’s a different scenario, but the Rockets were in this exact same position with Harden a few years ago.

Having Giannis is great, but if you have a top 3 guy who just hit 30 and you’re not close to competing, then it’s time to pack it in and get assets for him while he’s healthy. You’ve just lost your chance to get any assets for Dame.

The national narrative is going to be about Dame and the Bucks being injured and that sucks. Cause that was an excellent game from the Pacers. Every starter was exceptional, TJ was good in spots, Obi offensively prestine, Walker hit his shots and Shep chipped in to. Dame is great and its a damn shame, but he wasn’t stopping that.

Giannis had 28 on ⁹⁄₂₀ shots which is perfectly acceptable defensively.

Padulsky21 | BKN

Pacers are so likeable and fun to watch bc they truly exist and move as a unit. Carlisle has his faults but he also has every guy bought in and on a similar wavelength. Makes the depth such a fearsome thing to face in a series.

There’s a natural selflessness in the Pacers system. It’s finally translated better defensively this season too.

Dame wasn’t saving them. In game 3 GTJ went nuclear, and the Pacers couldn’t hit a 3. It wasn’t ever likely to happen again. Plus, the Pacers were leading when he went down, and he’d not been good this series anyway.

People can say that, but there’s no validity to it.

Not really the Pacers’ fault that they never get to play a healthy team. And “healthy” Bucks team led by Giannis and Dame may never happen after that brutal injury tonight. Which fucking sucks.

Doc Rivers shouldn’t be blamed at all. How are you supposed to win with only one hall of famer instead of four?!

Jokes aside shit like this is how Doc continues to get interviews and jobs, bro’s middle name may as well be “plausible deniability” at this point.

I mean, this roster isn’t great. Plus Dame’s health.

Not sure Doc is to blame.

Myles Turner is an All NBA level defender and it makes me sad he’ll never get one

schoolhater12 | Raptors

54 | 12 days ago

i think he is a very good defender but he is very good defender in the most stacked position. Also it sucks for Myles as an individual but its better for the Pacers because his contract is better for the team if he doesn’t make an all defense team

Frosty_McRib | Pacers

It just sucks to lead the league in blocks multiple times and never get a nod.

If it was positionless for Turner’s career, he gets at least 2, likely more

Giannis went on a run scoring and assisting, and the lead got bigger LOL.

The Pavers have to be one of the most frustrating teams to guard. They put you in a vortex until you just don’t want to play defense anymore, and then they spray out to 3. It’s gotta be real unfun to play against that.

Why did Bucks extend their GM before the playoffs were even freaking over? About to get tossed out 4-1 by the Pacers and Kuzma puts up a fucking stinker. Oh hell nah

WasProbablyBanned | Australia

85 | 12 days ago

So he can trade Giannis for an actual sustainable package that can help with a rebuild rather than an attempted lateral move to save his job

PretentiousPanda | Bucks

14 | 12 days ago

There is no rebuild. We don’t own our pick until 2031. There’s no reason to tank.

You can get picks for Giannis. You could conceivably even get your own picks.

8 pacers scoring double digits. Yep, that should do it.

Drak_is_Right | Pacers

35 | 12 days ago

60% overall shooting. 72.7% from 2.

That is a center who only shoots at the rim and dunks lobs FG rate.

if Bucks hadn’t shot 40% from 3, this would have been Grizzlies level ugly.

They’re the exception of course. In the other series the lower seeded teams are either tied or ahead of the higher seeds

2nd through 8th was quite tight in the West in terms of record (granted, Grizzlies late season collapse meant they were weaker than their record).

Zero surprise the 60 win teams are all up big.

Pacers generate about 327 open 3s per game against the Bucks….don’t think that would happen if they get to the next round sadly

15 | 12 days ago

Sucks to be the Bucks, but I don’t think they would have won even without a Dame injury.

In fact, I think KPJ probably performed better (considering both offense and defense) than an old and still-rehabbing-from-injury Dame could have done anyway.

Thank the lord there’s a worse team than us in the playoffs.

The Indiana Pacers take a 3-1 series lead over the Milwaukee Bucks, 129-103. Myles Turner (23/5/2/4) and Tyrese Haliburton (17/8/15) carry the load for Indy; Bucks lose Damian Lillard to non-contact leg injury.
