Giannis is the new dirk; won a ring with the franchise that drafted him and is now just gonna chill and put up gaudy stats on a hopeless team until he retires.

Prudent_Zombie_2692 | Pistons

He’s a lot better than Dirk was but yeah similar career trajectory

orphan_tears_ | GSW

6 | 3 days ago

Not really, Dirk won at 32 in the tail end of his prime and everyone knew he only a handful of elite seasons left. Giannis won at 26, just entering his prime and 5 years later is showing no signs of slowing down

Prudent_Zombie_2692 | Pistons

I’m talking about only having 1 ring in a long great career with one team

MudReasonable8185

And NBA discourse is so toxic that his legacy would only be diminished if he left the bucks to go ring chasing lol

FH261169 | Mavericks

1 | 3 days ago

Not really. The bucks will only trade him to a team he wants to go to. So if he wants to go to OKC, LAL or SAS, that will “diminish” his legacy but if he wanted to go to like Minnesota, Detroit or NY then it would be fine. Borderline is as long as its not a KD warriors type of thing then it’ll be fine.

There is genuinely no reason not to continue to exercise his team options, rookies cost so little overall.

To lose to the wizards after shooting ²¹⁄₃₈ from three. Man that’s rough. CJ and Khris still got it

Damsodomie | Timberwolves

The Bucks feel a bit like last year’s Suns. A good start that instills confidence, then their best player gets injured and they plummet but they don’t rebound when he comes back. I still think they could turn it around but they need Doc gone ASAP for that

Dapper-Practice-6523 | Pacers

7 | 3 days ago

Losing doc hardly fixes this team. Theres not some glaring malpractice like the AG firing. Youre going to be on the bottom half of the standings with a Superstar/Rollins/Kuzma big 3

Bucks fans aren’t in this thread. They are pursuing their true passion, hate watching Nuggets games to make Jokic defensive low light tapes for Nuggets wins

hiccupt3 | Bucks

1 | 3 days ago

Hey I am in the thread! The free throw calls are down for sure, its really unusual, we have people who still drive to the rim, but even compared to dame’s rates going down when he was with us this is unusually low.

It hurts, but its not why we are ass at the moment, that’s down to our rebounding being atrocious and Giannis putting up a poor effort tonight. Coaching as well, the Doc Rivers experience is suffering lmao

schoolhater12 | Raptors

3 | 3 days ago

Myles Turner is a fantastic player but he is overpaid much like old man Brook Lopez, he is a piss poor rebounder. With Prince gone, all the rebounding responsibilities go to Giannis, Kuzma, and Portis.

There’s a real talented team somewhere but there are things to figure out. The front office has done a great job retooling but they are one forward from being a good to great team.

I think Portis has been great over his bucks time but it’s time for him to go for a real forward. Kuzma has been great this year

hiccupt3 | Bucks

1 | 3 days ago

Oh Myles is overpaid for sure, but Brook was as well for his age and ability, with him leaving we needed a replacement desperately. Prince’s neck injury hurt us for sure, along with missing his three point volume.

Kuzma has been an unexpected bright spot, we traded for him (miss you Khris) because the CBA was going to kill us if we did not get under the apron, and we were not expecting anything from him, his athleticism and motor on a more serious team (I know we were just beat by the Wizards) has been a plus for us overall, he still does some boneheaded stuff, but he looks a lot better than on the Wizards.

I have big love for Bobby, but like other members of the Bucks roster we should have moved on from him at his highest value possible, in my opinion after the 2022 playoffs. Similarly Khris and Brook should have been traded at that time, at their highest value to get younger for Giannis’s upcoming prime. I do agree though, with this younger and overall faster roster, Bobby’s lack of fit has been highlighted in a bad way. I predict at the trade deadline a couple of things, one might be that Giannis asks out, if that does not happen I expect to see Bobby moved along with another player, probably AJAX for a serviceable small forward. I also predict that Doc will be fired dependent on record, our ownership does not care at all about paying multiple coaches, could not tell who they would hire to replace him though, maybe a good WNBA head coach?

Bobby is still good, which is why it hurts to say we need to trade him ASAP, but he just does not fit with the new team’s construction and play style.

Our biggest problems right now are coaching and rebounding. We can play Kuz at the small forward and he has been good enough doing that, but he is better as a bench PF behind Giannis, that has been better this season and last season. If we get a decent small forward then I do think we can turn this around, playing smaller guards like AJ Green at the small forward position kills our rebounding. If we can find a suitable replacement for Doc I would encourage his exit expeditiously lol.

hiccupt3 | Bucks

-1 | 3 days ago

We can for some games, the ft rate has gone down unusually with the Bucks compared to years past, we still have Giannis, and still have guards that drive to the rim like Rollins and KPJ, Dame even experienced a depressed ft volume with us, he was not getting calls that he did in Portland of all places.

This game though? Doc coaching masterclass, and our rebounding sucks ass, and Giannis played one of the worst games I have seen from him in a bit. KPJ was a bright spot, and I miss Middleton, he still hates the color green.

schoolhater12 | Raptors

2 | 3 days ago

KPJ might be a dickhead but he is a very good basketball player. Can’t believe that he played like that in his first game back.

Giannis is so good that this was a down game for him. Crazy player

Middleton and CJ hit some bs to win this game

hiccupt3 | Bucks

1 | 3 days ago

He was actually back vs the Nets I believe, this game was rough, it honestly shows our fatal flaw, which is rebounding, if teams have good rebounders against us we actually get slaughtered.

likewoahitsaj | Bucks

Anyone who watched this game knows that this loss honestly falls mostly on Giannis who coasted through most of the game and then somehow got even worse in the 4th and gave awful effort and played terrible defense

People undersell the Suns because they mostly beat soft opponents, but at least we havent lost to the Wizards

As long as the Suns don’t make the playoffs, I’ll be happy. That would keep my dream alive of the Suns “winning” the lottery, with that pick then going to the Wizards.
