Bucks played 6 games with the big 3 under Doc Rivers
Dame addressed the media last night & said he’s excited for year 2 in Milwaukee
Embiid hasn’t been past the 2nd round once in his career, why don’t we ever see segments like this for the 76ers?
It’s definitely moving
If you put JT on the Bucks, we’re a play in team
If you put Giannis on the Celtics, they go like 75-7
JT doesn’t have the impact of a Giannis, Jokic, Embiid. He just has the best supporting cast
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum have been named the Kia NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Month, respectively, for games played in February.
I knew the bucks wouldn’t play good when I saw Dame, Marjon, Bobby, & Beasley all at Lucid Lounge last night. (Night club in Milwaukee) saw them there around 1AM
If Bucks went down 2-0 without even having Giannis step on the court, the media would say Giannis needs to leave Milwaukee
Embiid hasn’t been past the 2nd round & has never had segments on how he needs to leave Philly
@udontknowsport1
I think you’re missing the point that this post was to show the stat between Giannis & White is flawed. We all know Jrue is a better defender. Use your brain kiddo
Bucks we’re missing a 6’7 3 level scorer who can score 30 on any given night in 2022, & your fanbase said he sucks & wouldn’t make a difference. I don’t wanna hear it
We’re missing a 7’3 forward who can score 30 on any given night, but people still want to talk about how the Celtics are only winning because of injuries.
Beating the Timberwolves on the road isn’t for everyone 🤷♂️
Do the Celtics have a single signature win on the road this year?? Don’t say Clippers, Kawhi didn’t play
Despite the loss tonight without Giannis, the Bucks odds to win the East went from +340 to +280, that tells you everything you need to know about today’s game
The best modern playoff defenses in NBA history:
1. 22 Bucks
2. 04 Pistons
3. 19 Bucks
4. 16 Spurs
5. 19 Raptors
Kawhi and Giannis twice. The two greatest defensive players of the last 15 years. Kawhi was the ONLY current All Defensive Player on both the Spurs, and the
DOC RIVERS NBA RECORDS:
- Lost 32 close out games
- Lost 7 series when leading 3-2
- Lost 10 game 7’s
- Lost 12 series when holding series lead

“If you asked GMs who would you rather have from this point forward: Damian Lillard at his cap number or Jaime Jaquez Jr. at his cap number? I think you’d be shocked at how many people would say Jaime Jaquez.”

Bud wasn’t as bad as we made him out to be
2019 - 2 games from the finals
2020 - Bubble year, arguably best bucks team we’ve seen prior to that
2021 - championship
2022 - B2B without KMidd injury?
2023 - Giannis injured 2nd quarter game 1
Haven’t expressed it yet on here, but this is a huge milestone for me. I’ve been big my whole life & to finally get under 300 pounds feels like I’m finally taking the right steps. Going for under 250 pounds next, love to see the hard work paying off!!
Why does this type of media attention never happen to Embiid despite never making it out of the 2nd round? Oh yea that’s right he plays for a big market team.
The Warriors' 'dream scenario' superstar this summer is Giannis Antetokounmpo, per

If the Bucks fall short of their title goals, these rumors could go crazy 👀
Lmfao okay man so Middleton has a 2 game sample size “as a first option”
I should have said: Middleton has never been the first option for an entire playoff run + season, as in he’s never been the best player on your roster.
Go compare him to Jaylen brown or something
Eastern Conference records vs .500 & above
Celtics 22-11
Bucks 17-13
Cavaliers 13-15
Knicks 11-20
76ers 11-15
I really don’t understand why the media is acting like the Bucks are an 8 seed right now fighting to make the playoffs
Why do Celtics fans act like they beat the heat? They lost that series HEALTHY
Giannis played in games 4,5 & 11min of game 1
but their excuse is “Tatum hurt his ankle in game 7🥺” (still played)
@celtsforeva
I’m genuinely concerned that you can’t see this tweet is to show how flawed the Giannis & D White stat is. But instead you saw it on me thinking that Dame is a better defender than Jrue. Use your brain kiddo
Here are the top 5-man lineups in the NBA this season (minimum 300 minutes). What stands out?
@LegsESPN
shared which lineups he believes will fare best in the playoffs on today’s show
📺
This years Celtics faced the easiest path to the finals in modern NBA history
Facing teams with an average win total of 37.3 when adjusting for injuries
Minutes played tonight
Tatum - 39min
White - 37min
Brown - 37min
Dame - 36min
Portis - 33min
Middleton - 32min
Bucks WILL play their starters more minutes in a playoff situation. I’m confident Bucks win a series in 6
*Giannis didn’t play
Reasons why Bucks lost tonight
1. Khris Middleton injury
2. Jet lagged
3. San Francisco homelessness (Bucks players didn’t feel safe)
4. Giannis coming back from injury
5. Nathan Marzion had a bad feeling
6. Dame is lonely
7. Warriors had more rest
Bucks defensive rating past 10 games (114.7) 9th best in the NBA
Celtics defensive rating past 10 games
(114.8) 10th best in the NBA
One team is seen as an elite defense & the other has constant media attention as the worst defense in the league
The disrespect to the Bucks in this upcoming season is insane. You bring this core back, replace Malik with Gary Trent Jr, beef up the bench, & the finals odds is +1700?💀💀 ECF is their floor if healthy
5 straight wins has the Nuggets 2nd in the West and 3rd in

This the dumbest stat ever pulled up in an effort to cope after Boston’s disaster last night
Bucks have “blown a lead” in 19 of their 25 losses this season, but this just means at some point in the game they had a lead, could even be in the 1st quarter
This doesn’t get talked about either when discussing Bucks post season failures
Not only have they not been healthy, they’re losing to the team that wins the East
(No I don’t expect the Pacers to win the East)
