1. We got Rollins, Porter and you know who and that’s it!

2. Same players same results, why don’t you try not playing some of your troublemakers and see if you get different result

3. It’s always the same: we do well in first half and into the third quarter. Starting midway through the 3rd was start to go down and give it up completely in the 4th.

4. Just Rebuild please!!!!

5. I'd rather have Green get 6 fouls then give up 6 to 20 layups.

6. Why why did stupid Horst waive Dame and let Lopes go, Turner is not even a rim protector.

7. KPJ has no one to pass to, everyone just stands on there "X"

8. Quack Rivers will have us dead last

9. loser mentality doc. zero coaching. the end

10. Y'all remember Giannis getting injured, the Bucks beat the Pistons and Frank accused Giannis of quitting? Someone has two fathers and Kendrick Perkins, P Diddy and 50 Cent are all of them.

11. The kpj hate channel, so bias over Rollin

12. Kuzmas defence was bad he is so slow couldn’t stay close to Edwards lol embarrassing

13. Dissecting each individual game is pointless. Big picture is obvious. Bad owner, bad gm, bad roster, trash coach. Not going to get better.

14. Ps green is playing the same way he always plays, don’t say it’s the injury, he’s a bad player, if she was healthy wnba player Clark would be a huge step up over green

15. Kpj and Rollins both need the ball, it’s like nothing fits under Quack Rivers coaching.

16. Once Giannis returns people will be able to see what KPJ can really do.

    Yes his turnovers are kinda high, but he’s flirting with 50/40/90 shooting splits while being the main scoring option.

    He scoring more efficiently and scoring more than his previous season highs, while taking almost two less shots.

    13.5 shots a game is not enough shots for KPJ at the level of efficiency he’s displayed, and 7.3 shots a game isn’t enough for AJ Green!

    Rollins isn’t a better scoring option than AJ in my opinion but he’s a great defender and good floor general in the half-court offense.

    I just feel like he’s another player that slows down the offense which is why he gets regulated to a spot up shooter role whenever him and KPJ play together.

    KPJ and Rollins are opposites as far as game philosophy when they have the ball in their hands.

    KPJ is all about getting a bucket or creating a shot for a teammate as soon as possible within a possession, he uses his explosiveness and athleticism to make defenses collapse which lead to a bucket for him or a good look for his teammates.

    Rollins is more of a methodical tradition PG, he wants to analyze and bait the defense into making a mistake that gives multiple of his teammates a great look. If the first pass doesn’t score the second pass will when Rollins is running point.

    KPJ is of the DRose/Westbrook archetype, and Rollins is more of a CP3/Rondo archetype.

    And they’re both “combo guards” but KPJ leans more towards being a 2, while Rollins leans more towards being a 1.

    They is definitely and extremely talented backcourt combo of KPJ/Rollins/AJ that needs to be experimented with more, but while KPJ and Rollins are a good backcourt duo on defense, AJ Green just ends up getting targeted by opposing offenses without solid bigs behind him to save him.

    Without Giannis, the big men on this team aren’t on par with any team in the NBA, Bobby has stepped up but you still have to suffer from his defensive woes in return for his scoring, plus he slows the offense down too much.

    The Bucks have to play faster, dudes like AJ need to have the green light to take even bad shots, AJ Green can hit “bad shots” at the same efficiency other good shooters hit open looks at.

    The talent is there on offense but isn’t being utilized right. Defensively the Bucks are cooked without an healthy Giannis, people really take for granted the level of defensive impact he has on the court.

    Even this year when people were criticizing his defensive effort

    (even though it was clear he was playing injured and trying to preserve his health while playing)

    When you check the stats this season for opponent FG percentage at the rim when Giannis is the primary defender, Giannis is still in elite category with the likes of Wemby.

    With Brook and Giannis, Brook was the main rim defender due to not just his height, but also his weight! Myles is much more mobile than Brook but doesn’t have the same level of strength or stopping power as him.

    Man the biggest problem with the Bucks is the best center they have on their roster is playing power forward.

    Giannis is a better 5 than Myles, Giannis should be the primary rim protector with Myles bringing the help. And Giannis has to stop playing like an oversized wing, when he gets the ball in the halfcourt, Giannis needs to only have the ball in his hands fifteen feet or less from the basket.

    Giannis is the most unstoppable player in the league when he gets a head of steam, that’s while he’s so unstoppable on fast breaks and in transition, but the entire team should not be stopping their entire offense to allow him to build up a head of steam in halfcourt sets.

    It’s just bad basketball, and I’ve been a Doc defender but it really does seem like he has no idea what he’s doing and can’t adjust once again. Really seems like he was fully dependent on Giannis having another MVP level season for this team to be viable, and he hasn’t gotten that lucky this year

17. THIS WAS ANOTHER BAD GAME!! A 20 TO 0 RUN SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT ALL IN A GAME WHERE YOU HAVE FREE THROWS TO HELP STOP THE FLOODING!! I'M JUST SO OVER JON TAKING HIS SWEET OLE TIME TRYING TO GET HELP FOR THIS TEAM!! HE PUT THIS SORRY TEAM TOGETHER!! HE'S JUST AS RESPONSIBLE AS DOC FOR THIS LOSING STREAK!! JON NEEDS TO GO!! DOC NEEDS TO GO!! BOTH SHOULD BE SENT HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!! WHEN WILL THE CAMPAIGN START TO HOLD THESE TWO ACCOUNTABLE FOR STEALING MONEY AND NOT DOING THE JOB THEY ARE PAID TOO DO??

18. I feel so bad for the fanbase… I don’t know who looks sadder… Frank or Camille. 😢

19. No one can address the issue. The real problem is Giannis.
    The Bucks organization gave him everything he asked for. He wanted Dame, Griffin, Rivers, etc. Bucks fans can never put the blame where it belongs.
    Dump his ass and rebuild.

20. PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU PRESS SEND!! HOW ARE WE GOING TO REBUILD WHEN THE PERSON IN CHARGE NAMED JON DOESN'T KNOW SQUAT ABOUT WHAT HE'S DOING?? BUD AND GIANNIS CARRIED HIS SORRY PLAYERS HE HAS SIGNED ON THIS TEAM FOR YEARS!! NOW YOU ARE A WITNESS TO WHAT THOSE TEAMS REALLY LOOK LIKE WITHOUT COACHING AND A SUPERSTAR!! SO WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT A REBUILD WHEN THE PRODUCT YOUR ONLY GOING TO GET WILL BE THE SAME THAT'S ON THE FLOOR NOW?? NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT AIN'T NO REBUILD!! IT'S A REWIND OR RERUN!!

21. You guys know , that this is a coaching issue . What has doc Rivers done in these 2 seasons ? What are we better at ? Doc Rivers should be fired today . Shame on the bucks ownership and management to make us suffer like this with doc.

22. ITS TIME! Rebuild!

    Send him to Miami for

    Hero, Ware, & Jaquez. Our best bet.

    Then Turner to Golden State for Kuminga

23. Even when Freak comes back, the TEAM still is not that good. He’s just gonna go overdrive and risk getting hurt AGAIN!

    He needs help. Come back Khris lol😂
