1. Start kpj

2. I feel like the bucks have the talent to go all the way it just might be this coach holding them back. Should’ve gotten a Kenny Atkinson look at what he’s done in cleveland

3. Bucks to predictable.. doc lost game 1st quarter hard to shoot 3’s when you have the ball down low

4. Kuzma failed as a third option tonight. It's ok though he's trying and fighting. I just want Trent Jr back to help out.

5. Doc coulda called time out when dame got blocked and then they challenged and got the ball back, idk why they didn’t do 2 man game

6. Horrendous coach

7. Doc has never drawn a play for the bucks to get anybody open when we need a bucket, just tells the guys to go iso ball, this needs to change cause it is easy to guard. The offense was stand still this whole night, nobody was cutting whatsoever no screens to open shooters, take a book outside of GSW and find ways to get open shots for your shooters besides generating them from just kickouts and post passes when teams double the post player. Guys have to cut and relocate to make the defense shift which can get you easy buckets incase there is miscommunication on defense. Lastly, use Dame off the ball sometimes just like GSW does with Steph.

8. tough lost tonight. now the upcoming games are going to only get tougher we'll see how mentally tough the bucks are and who's going to step up with bobby out and Gary Trent jr . out aj green is going to have score and doc is going to have get creative, by finding some bench production,

9. Bro change the starting five to
   PG: Dame
   SG: KPJ
   SF: Prince
   PF: Giannis
   C: Brook
   6th man: Kuzma
   7th man: Bobby
   8th man: Gary
   9th man: AJ Green
   10th man: Jericho Sims
   11th man: Ryan Rollins
   12th man: Andre Jackson
   13th man: Pat
   14th man: Tyler Smith
   15th man: Chris Livingston

10. During this season, all games where teams have played mind games on Giannis like Wagner, the Bucks have gone on to lose

11. And when opposing teams play 1 on 1, only Giannis and Dame manage to score. That has been the same issue over the last 2 years. Its as if the coaching staff is blind

12. Great effort closing the gap. Defense stepped up late in the fourth. I didn’t like the last shot decision by Dame but the ball definitely needed to be in his hands. Green was bad….28 minutes, 0 points. Great decision to give extended minutes to KPJ. He deserved it.

13. Overall, i thought your coaching lacked tonight Doc. What kind of bone headed step back three with 6 seconds left by Lillard was that??!

14. Can't lose to Orlando at home, Doc! And, if AJ Green can't guard anybody, why is he on the floor?

15. aj green 28 minutes 0pts let that sink in the dude is trash

16. Bucks starting five cost the Bucks the game, period. Magic got all kinds of confidence early seeing they weren't going to get any resistance from the Bucks to begin the game.

17. Really miss Khris' decision making already. Hero ball Bucks is a first round exit. Dame and Giannis need to have at least 15 combined assists for this team to succeed, tonight's game gets a slight pass though since Orlando had their backs against the wall losing many in a row in close games….. Orlando's problem IMI is they really miss Suggs who was a QB field general and probably the team leader knowing that simple fact.

18. I didn't see 1 pick n roll with Dame & Giannis after we'd been making so much progress with that 2 man game. Why go away from it?? Why try to go 1 on 1 when you have the best 2 man game in NBA history???

19. Refs vs bucks

20. 76-90 and kpj starter in 4 Q . 109-111 (33-21)

21. KPJ should've started tonight

22. KPJ should've started tonight

23. Doc has failed this team all year long. There is no way a team led by Giannis and Dame should be this mid and fighting to stay in 4th place with teams such as the Pacers and the Pistons. How can any GM see this fiasco and not have concerns. The Bucks are winning games mostly because of talent, not because of Doc Rivers. He hasn't done anything coaching wise. He spends more time playing golf than actual coaching. We're winning games mostly because of Giannis and Dame. I want Doc gone after this season. I do not want to see him coaching this team ever again. No more excuses. We need a real coach asap, not a motivational speaker. Giannis deserves a smart coach that will not waste his prime years with useless rotations, lack of in-game adjustments, and bad coaching. I hope the Bucks don't end up losing Giannis this off-season to another team all because they're stupid enough to keep this guy as the coach. Do better Bucks front office.

24. Será que tão difícil o Bucks fazer troca de passes para deixar um atiradore livre, isso é básico da basketball 😢

25. O menino Green parece que está piorando seu jogo 0 em 28 minutos isso é complicado 😊

26. AJ Green is what Pat was for Mike Bud.

27. We did not play great in the 1st half. We tried to push in the 4th but it was too short.
    Now we gonna face the Cavs in b2b. Let's see if we can play h2h against them or they are gonna blow us out.

28. Do should have made a quick read and match Cole Anthony's time with KPJ, match energy for energy
