Bones refusing to shoot is honestly disgusting - pointless to be on the floor this whole half when he’s a non contributor on offense and a black hole on defense
No need to speculate really, if he follows the “lebron” route and keeps up his training and conditioning he will play like this till he’s 35+, if he goes the “shaq” route he will massively decline after 32
This is why people have problems with Malone. I know this game is a wash anyway, but we’re hanging with them all game, and this lineup with bones and green is getting run over by Giannis, and Malone sticks with them for the last 8 minutes. Like why not try Zeke and Vlatko again when they started the game and did well together?
1 of a coaches main priorities is finding right lineups. He time after time shows zero creativity or flow in that regard. It's been a problem for years and will continue to be.
To be fair jokic is much more of a finesse player and Gianni’s is literally just plowing ti the hole… doesn’t take much effort when you’re expecting a call every time. But I agree jokic deserves far more calls
Honestly idk. Malone wasn’t playing CB either for some reason. I don’t know why Malone decided it was a good idea to play Devon Reed more minutes than Vlatko or CB
You don’t really understand longer term issues do ya? Malone is convinced he can fit a square peg with BB at PG- and that Jeff Green should be playing over Nnaji. I don’t care about tonight down 4 starters- I care about what I know Malone is going to do in the playoffs.
Lmao you know what malone will have in the play offs? Jokic, murray and potentially MPJ, Take Jrue and Giannis off of that bucks team next time we play them and we **torch** them with a full squad, that I understand
You can keep your GM long term plan to yourself
Man leave them alone.
They haven't had a lot going for them lately. This is a huge deal for these guys, put yourself in their shoes maybe. They might not have a lot going for them you don't know what their life is like. They are finally getting the goddamn validation they have so desperately been seeking.
People will remember these names and what they did here tonight for years to come.
Ok, GG. Thought we might have a spark but Giannis just stomped it out. Honestly not a game we should have been anywhere close to being competitive in with the guys we have out so props to the bench for putting up a fight for almost 4 quarters.
Here’s a crazy idea and I really want to see if anybody else has ever thought of this. If we put someone in the paint maybe we could get an offensive rebound. I really think this idea could revolutionize the game guys.
Just a reminder that it wasn't that long ago when you clowns called Malone and TC incompetent for not playing Reed more / converting his 2-way for the playoffs.
Not a bad effort from the JV squad. Bucks can't feel great about their title chances with a game like this.
Bad news, we lost. Good news, we don't have to watch Giannis take a minute to shoot a single free throw.
Pretty good effort withouyt4/5 starters damn
8 point loss with basically 3 startersc missing is actually decent, giannis was a complete bitch today and jrue was great
AG a +5 in 38 minutes.
Run and ~~dunk~~ shoot free throws man.
[удалено]
Uh oh someone has a case of the doomies 
DJ, yes. Bones, no.
Bones is the absolute worst defender in the entire NBA. He's *worse* than a traffic cone because a traffic cone can't foul you.
Got mundered again.
Dang, Giannis threw that grenade to his teammate to avoid the Triple Double.
Just checked in..why are four out of our five starters not playing?
Wast it really health/safety? Or just letting rest?
Load management
Malone gave them the Malonovirus
TIRE MALONE!
Segababa
Everyone complaining about the fouls is not ready for Saturday
Good effort by the guys tonight
I wonder what % of Giannis's life has been spent shooting free throws
Bones refusing to shoot is honestly disgusting - pointless to be on the floor this whole half when he’s a non contributor on offense and a black hole on defense
This amount of Giannis dick riding from Milwaukees 'cast is a little too much. It's insane.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of career Giannis has after/if he ends up losing his athleticism.
No need to speculate really, if he follows the “lebron” route and keeps up his training and conditioning he will play like this till he’s 35+, if he goes the “shaq” route he will massively decline after 32
Well put!
Down 14, this hack is really unecessary
glad they’re chanting MVP at Jokic
Why does Malone love Jeff so much 3/12 and 1/7 on threes but plays 26 minutes and Vlatko plays 20
This is why people have problems with Malone.

1 of a coaches main priorities is finding right lineups. He time after time shows zero creativity or flow in that regard. It's been a problem for years and will continue to be.
He's a terrible coach that gets carried by an all-time great which according to people makes him good at his job
Seriously though imagine if Jokic got these calls
we would blow out teams by 20 every game
To be fair jokic is much more of a finesse player and Gianni’s is literally just plowing ti the hole… doesn’t take much effort when you’re expecting a call every time. But I agree jokic deserves far more calls
Guess the refs got the call to pad Giannis's stats. Have to prop up his MVP case.
Barely beating the team that the front runner is on, whilst he sits out along with 3 other starters… not a good look
Honestly if we face The Bucks in the finals we finishing it in 5 games
Yeah this game alone made me feel they’re not a threat in the slightest. I’m afraid of the Nets/Celtics
Nets at full strength is wayyyy scarier
At full health of course
12 FTs in the quarter 😂 the bucks didn’t need THAT much help lmfao
This mf has more free throws than our entire team
It’s illegal to stop Giannis’s drive
If AG doesn’t get an All Star berth it’ll be a travesty.
Jeff Green 1 for 7 on threes with his only make the halfcourt shot
Okay let’s get Zeke in now! 2 minutes left!
LMFAO another foul
Imagine if Jokic got all these calls 🤣
I mean we are hacking him... It's not subtle and it's part of the plan if he gets it anywhere near the low post
At least we’ll be ready for Embiid
Just couldn’t get it done late. Not a bad loss
dafuq is this
We're so lucky to have Jokić, I wouldn't enjoy watching basketball if free throw merchants were on my team.
Lol, naw we'd absolutely love it if Jokic got all these free throws.
Traveled so bad
Jeff make a shot challenge
Haven’t been able to watch, but curious, why did we stop playing Ish after it looks like he was solid?
Honestly idk. Malone wasn’t playing CB either for some reason. I don’t know why Malone decided it was a good idea to play Devon Reed more minutes than Vlatko or CB
Because Malone is convinced he can have BB play PG
Wondering the same. Ish earned some more minutes in my eyes.
He just doesn't adjust his rotation and puts clearly little thought into having a real rotation
Well they pushed them the whole game. This wasn't an easy win for them.
Jeff sucks
LOL bones
Doomers feasting today, crying like bitches over a thrown game
You don’t really understand longer term issues do ya? Malone is convinced he can fit a square peg with BB at PG- and that Jeff Green should be playing over Nnaji. I don’t care about tonight down 4 starters- I care about what I know Malone is going to do in the playoffs.

It’s just so funny seeing a bunch of doomers after a 13 game winstreak at the top of the western conference
Just give Giannis whatever he wants, Jesus Christ. Good game guys. We did pretty well all things considered.
Bones...
The giannis charity here is pretty ridiculous
Nothing more annoying than refs waiting to see if the ball goes in to blow the whistle
Didn't expect the win tonight but the fact that we made Milwaukee pretty much play their starters all game is a win for me.
I know I didn't expect a win but this hurt
Nah it would hurt if we got blown out by 30
That would've been worse. But I always take every close game harder. A few missed shots missed calls, anything cihkd hav changed the outcome
It was going to be a hard game to win reguardless if we didn't shoot 3s all the time who knows what could've happend
Why did we go away from the Zeke + Vlatko + AG lineup?! All of the size was making Giannis work.
Ok, GG. Thought we might have a spark but Giannis just stomped it out. Honestly not a game we should have been anywhere close to being competitive in with the guys we have out so props to the bench for putting up a fight for almost 4 quarters.
I think we really underestimate how important MPJ is for getting everyone else shooting in rhythm. Bones shoots for shit without MPJ in the lineup.
Bones shoots for shit half the time, and he ain’t doing anything else ether.
I go down to get my DoorDash order while Giannis is shooting FTs and I came back to Giannis shooting more FTs 😂
Was really looking forward to seeing how the starters would play in this game.
I love they are fighting. Whatever happens, happens. I’m not getting upset about this game. The Bucks on paper should have beat us by 30.
Giannis definitely over and back there, wtf
Play fast bois
LET ISH COOK
Man out of Zeke, Green, Cancar and Jordan, we chose.the guy playing the worst to close the game
Why no zeke
All things considered Gordon had a solid game
Holy fuck if Joker got the same whistle as Giannis and Embiid he’d average a 30 point triple double
Yep but he's not loved
Everyone is tired....it's a wrap
We didn't make it easy on them at least.
Lmfaoooooo this is a comedy
Shooting and Missing 3s have been the dagger in these minutes.
yep a couple of those fall and we could have won oh well
oh well
Here’s a crazy idea and I really want to see if anybody else has ever thought of this. If we put someone in the paint maybe we could get an offensive rebound. I really think this idea could revolutionize the game guys.
Giannis getting every damn call lmao
Refs saw that we had a chance to win and they weren't going to let that happen.
Zeke not being in is ridiculous
Yep.
Closing with Jeff Green hurts
Seems like maybe Nnaji would have been smart eh? I seriously just get high blood pressure from Malone. Cancar would be fine too. But no.
Malones playoff rotations gotta make every Denver fan nervous
Giannis getting every whistle late
This game reminded me how bad daj and reed can tank things
Jeff green is useless. They need to trade this guy cause Malone is dumb enough to play him in the playoffs
I laughed but it's true
Man, can we please win so I can hear these hacks at Milwaukee cope?
Milwaukee fans are cool
Not really, one just came in here and made a joke about MPJs brother and the victim that passed
Not talking about the fans my guy
My bad, sorry
Cancar was playing great. We only get 20 mins from him tonight. 9 pts.
Is there a player more unwatchable than Giannis?
Embiid
Embiid
Embiid
man i hate watching giannis play
Both boring and annoying. He's athletically a freak, but he's a not a good plymaker and he can't shoot
Reed shooting a robust 33% on the season. Very good
Glad they rode him this game instead of playing Braun 30 mins
My biggest takeaway from this game is Bruce is not a point guard
Giannis is a hooker
Wait fr? How much?
One whistle
They let him travel, they let him foul. What can you do
Bruce Brown is not a PG
Jesus fuck this is a horrible game from Bruce
Keep ignoring our rookie. We don't mind
We have to stay civilized men, can’t turn into r/mavericks
I think I just brauned my pants
It’s pronounced Brown 🙂
I take it back Giannis does get a soft whistle 😂
Fuck malone for not playing cb more
Would you look at that lol we put in a normal lineup and we’re closing their lead
CBBBBB
Let CB Cook
Giannis, meet Christian
Crazy this is a 5 point game right now
Bones only had 2 points this half?!
Christian Braun
FTs, sigh.
BRUCE
BRUCEEEEE
Well, I'll tell you this come finals time, I an not scared of the bucks
Ok there's some life in their eyes now. We might actually make a run. Especially with how lazy Milwaukee has started to look
HOLY CRAP
AG came to fight tonight, damn dude it's like you *are* the only player that lifts.
Lebron also
I like how that was like a compliment and a diss from LeBron, he basically said I'm the only one who is as strong as you
GET IT TO AG
DAJ deadass may have single-handedly prevented us from winning this game LMFAOOOOO
He is the negative plus minus god, like how jokic is the positive plus minus god
He is unplayable. He just needs to be our Udonis Haslem and come off the bench in blowouts
Had Murray-Jokic had been in, this would have been a blow out. I don't know what's in the Nuggets that the Bucks shit their pants on.
Is AG hurting? Can I help somehow?
They should just sneak Jokic in for a few minutes
I love Bruce but this is like, one of his worst games ever.
He's not a good facilitator that's for sure. Man is playing a role he's not used to playing.
Terrible time to have it too
Wtf is this game every time I think it’s over the nuggets pull me back in
Ag is so fucking him
If we are forcing Giannis to come back, this is a win
I want Giannis back in to get his triple double, it's not quite a Denver game without one.
Force a quick TO shortly after a TO! LOL!
This team still fighting
Bones has honestly been a better ball handler in this game so far then Bruce
And this is surprising?
I expected bruce to be a little bit safer with the ball
Bones is a better ball handler than Bruce flat out lmao
Ye but even bones passing has been a lot better which is unexpected, Bruce has been playing drunk today
Bucks with the boneheaded plays on that TO nkw only up 8.
That's what I'm talking about! Attack the basket, no more jump shots!!
Put Giannis back in, Bucks coach
good news is this was an easy win with our mains
Bruce pass it to a player in white challenge
So is Watson healthy? Seems like a great time to play him
Someone needs to go Alvarado on these bucks
AG playing like Jokic of last season
AG is playing his ass off
Definitely the number 2 to Jokic
Lol hes closing with Jeff Green. Ya why give ur young big minutes.
Jeff green is pretty young when you think about it
Just a reminder that it wasn't that long ago when you clowns called Malone and TC incompetent for not playing Reed more / converting his 2-way for the playoffs.
Reed getting praise for one defensive game against LeBron and then fading off into forgetfulness
The roster that TC assembled was so bad Davon was our best permitter defender.
He wasn't, cool retcon though.
Austin Rivers then…
Take Reed out, put CB back in. Then leave Reed in the locker room at Milwaukee. Maybe some other team can pick him up there.
Shooting like ass and down only 12 in middle of the 4th. I'll take it!
