Pacers in 6. Too much offensive firepower. Dame doesn't come back 100%. Brook's lack of speed forces MIL to play Portis or Giannis at C. They lose some advantages.

I’ve never been a fan of the Lillard bucks. The combo of losing jrue and middleton declining has been huge. Giannis will have some huge games but Haliburton and co will outlast them.

Bucks in 5.
Last post season against the Pacers it went 6 games with Giannis missing every single game and Lillard missing two games.
Giannis is hungry after missing last year's playoffs with injury, the Pacers have no answer for him, he will dominate.

I'm not changing my pick of Bucks in 5. I'll live with it being wrong and give the Pacers their kudos, but for some reason I totally forgot Doc Rivers was coaching them and how much I loathe Doc Rivers and his overratedness. I should've picked Pacers in 5 or 6. :oldlol:
Reason I post this is because I just read a story where Rivers defended Kyle Kuzma's quintuple zero performance...
“It’s hard to score when you don’t touch the ball. Kuzma can play, we just gotta involve him and we gotta make sure to keep him involved.
...he doesn't bring up the fact of zero rebounds or zero steals. He didn't touch the ball at all even defensively. And guess what? Rivers will probably start his dumbass again out there when he should come off the bench.

The Lillaird return makes a major difference on paper, pretty sure that go and Giannis were the highest-scoring duo. He gives them a second scorer, an outside shooter, and maybe makes it easier for roleplayers offensively. On the flip side he's a defensive negative but Antetokuonmpo's support was so bad that it should result be worth it.

Also, I'm not sure if he was active since he's been out for a month until he was cleared. I think he might've had a month where he just sat around a did nothing but rest? Ramping up less than a week before the playoffs and asking Dame Time to arrive would be a lot for anyone to do coming back from a blood clot recovery that as the doctors put it, "We've never seen anything like this before" in terms of how fast he came back.
But even then I want him back. Lillard and Giannis have NOT played one playoff game together since he arrived there.

The conditioning is probably why he didn't come back immediately. He won't have his normal stamina but it's the playoffs so if there's no danger to his health then he should give them whatever he can.

I don't think he will. It's two different situations. KG didn't win a championship until he left. Giannis already got one. The whole reason KG made that comment in my mind is because he couldn't get into the Finals in Minnesota. Hell, he couldn't even make it past the first round until the 8th try.

Problem with Indy is they don't have THAT guy. They have a bunch of solid dudes but no real star to rely on every game. Teams like that usually do not win a title unless you're elite on both ends like the Celtics, and Tatum at least can play like a superstar in some big spots. Hali is not reliable. I think they can beat the Celtics or the Cavs but I wouldn't count on it. They're still prone to doing dumb shit in crunch time.

I agree. The last team to win a championship with that type of team setup was 2004 Pistons. You could maybe argue the 2014 Spurs. Kawhi was super young and unproven still. He was still 22 years old and only had averaged not even 13PPG for the regular season. Only 14 PPG in the Finals.

It's ok Bucks fans, you still have the NBA Cup :lol
Is there any way of blaming Doc for that? If so, can someone find one.

I wouldn't blame this loss on coaching (even though it was some of the worst defense I've seen this postseason), but it adds to the laundry list of all-time chokejobs by Rivers-led teams. :oldlol: Haven't seen a last-minute collapse like that in a playoffs game since G5 of Clippers-Thunder in 2014.
I'm not even mad, especially since it would've been our last win of the postseason in any case. After all, I couldn't have asked for this season—the most miserable of Giannis's entire superstardom—to end any sooner. I'm just genuinely amazed that a run-of-the-mill role-player like Trent could've both carried us through and cost us the same game.
Let's see how the Bucks brass decide to blow it up this off-season.

It's the accumulation of bad mistakes throughout the whole series.
One of the biggest ones is even though he switched the lineups taking Kuzma and Prince out of the starting lineup he continued giving them minutes even though they were providing the team with almost nothing. Give the vet Pat Connaughton in place of one of them some burn.

It didn't look negative to me, but I can see how it could have because Giannis was in his face and he was towering over him. But if you watch his dad's reaction it's positive and then when they break apart Giannis gives a thumbs up.
I think he was just giving props to his son or something.

After the game on Inside the NBA, Ernie, Kenny and Chuck got in an argument with Shaq about the whole Haliburton father thing. Shaq called Giannis' actions soft and when he was in the league it was part of the game for stuff like that to happen. Ernie, Kenny and Chuck were of the opinion that fans or parents of players shouldn't be coming onto the court right after the buzzer and shoving towels of their son in players' faces saying "you're f*cking nothing". Which is roughly what Haliburton's father did to Giannis.
It was actually pretty funny to see Shaq act like a toddler sometimes. Ernie had the best comment to Shaq, "Being respectful isn't being soft." Shaq's argument was basically, "I was in the league 19 years and it was part of the game."

I wouldn't miss Shaq one bit if he wasn't on that show. Just arguing for the sake of arguing.
"I would have just got over it and moved on"
Coming from the most sensitive fragile ego'd guy in the business. Of course you would have Shaq.

I chuckled at Shaq's argument because the only thing I could think of was a fan confronting Shaq on the court and Shaq going, "Oh yea? How many rings I got? How many rings you got?" as his argument with the fan. That's his argument for everything. He almost used it has his argument during Inside the NBA saying "I've been in the league 19 years." Which makes no sense, you can tell it bothers him if fans do it to him, but he's okay with it?

Shaq is a clown. Can’t stand him the more he talks. His recent Dwight Howard episode was terrible. No accountability full of lies. Dwight and Giannis were raised right. Not sure where it went wrong with Shaq. He’s pretty pathetic. From the things he’s done to teammates to the things he says. Egotistical piece of shyt. No one checked him and because he has been generous he feels it gives him a free pass to contradict the good he does by being a scumbag.
Such a sad collapse to see by the bucks rt.

What an absurd choke by the Bucks. Just insane.
And they've caught precisely 0 flak for it.
Up 118-111 with 40 seconds left.
Might be GOAT choke. Along with what Reggie did to the Knicks. Or tmac to Spurs.

Doc Rivers led teams the only ones to lose a 7 point lead in under 60 seconds.

Yeah Shaq's take was embarrassing. I never liked him on the show but he isn't as bad as he used to be. However it used to be funny watching him get so pissed when Barkley would troll him.

I always laugh when Barkley says something to the effect, "I would've won rings too if I could've rode Kobe and Wade's coattails."
It pisses Shaq off soooooo much.
Doc Rivers led teams the only ones to lose a 7 point lead in under 60 seconds.
It's amazing how he's still able to get a coaching job despite being involved in tons of huge on-court collapses.
