[@33crushman]

This goes back to losing 3 straight to bottom 5 teams. Dame, Giannis and the guys were forced to play down the stretch when they could have been resting and getting their bodies ready.

[@samueljlarson]

Totally... except it's easy to say that now in hindsight. In reality, this team was not read for competing for the title this season. Excited for a better opportunity and proper off season of training and conditioning next year.

[@samariddinmeliboev1229]

what is the results of MRI? Chances of him coming back?

[@33crushman]

@@samariddinmeliboev1229 My guess is if we win another game he could eventually come back. The reality is they really blew it in game 3 winning would have bought us time, but wasted the best performance of Middleton's career bc they're too soft to rebound when they're tired.

[@glst1974]

​@@33crushmanBrook was so slow and Bobby man.

[@nellztheking2832]

The young guys should have been playing those games for sure. They have very fresh legs.

[@HarryCarterBucks2021NBACHAMPIO]

Extremely unfortunate with injuries but rather see Giannis and Dame not play this series in order to prevent major damage to the achilles. Long term their careers matter more. Rather see them healthy next season.

[@orchang2]

it's not about being unfortunate. Glenn Rivers gave Giannis too many minutes late in the season in unimportant games which led to his injuries

[@msg3415]

Doc called Winston Wolf and that was the only shirt they could find him. GG.

[@orchang2]

Glenn Rivers, out of desperation, made Lillard and Giannis play 37+ min each in March leading to their injuries AND still failed to secure no. 2 seed and faced the Pacers for whom the Bucks are 1-4 this season

[@alfarouqaminufor3892]

If they play dame with a strained Achilles, then they might as well play Giannis and go for broke.

[@francescogargano9335]

If we can find a way to make it 2-2 we will 100% win the series

[@TheWilliamsFAMily21]

I believe that also

[@annalizaayuban9735]

Thrilla in Manila.. wow, Coach Doc still has this t-shirt. 😊

[@__yvngrich]

I’ve SEEN Lopez step up as a Player. I believe he can keep the momentum up in the game as well as depend on the team to capitalize

[@user-ve7qo3xk9j]

🤡🤡

[@Ril3y_34]

We r actually cooked bro

[@st8teofmind93]

The season is over no Dame no Giannis another 4-1 gentleman sweep

[@Miababe93]

These are the results you get when you're doc. You dont let your young players play during the regular season, and now you're forced to play your young players with not enough experience. Smh. Besides the point, I have a great feeling that we're taking a W tomorrow.

[@erickthefantabulous1]

If the bucks win tomorrow, it will be a miracle. we could have had our young guys ready for this moment, but you refused to play Them when you became head coach bad decision. You thought your veterans were gonna play some good ball? Wishful Thinking Don't know why you don't like marjon He's a great athlete with good defensive skill and he can score same with Ajax.You were forced to put him in the game and look what he did

[@chill6878]

No Dame ? We're Extremely COOKED‼️

[@Serbian1985]

Season from hell

[@slideman1249]

You guys been cooked

[@elmztana1201]

Let’s go bucks . k midd and the boys got this . Even this series up and let’s go. #bucksin6

You need to scouting report come to Docs interviews smh

[@othellorucker8107]

It is what it is at this point

[@lilray7210]

Go bucks nba finals

[@Nine5Vader]

Were going to lose in 5.

[@ybhhopkins262]

I love my team but if no Dame, no Giannis??& Middleton not being 100%?? Season over!! After this first round exit they might be talking about a rebuild 💯😤

[@marc-gomes]

Thanasis has to play Game 4. They need a spark of energy, defensive effort, and rebounding help. (!)

[@maykhie_]

fr tho

[@kay9334]

Thank you Doc. ❤

[@user-jh8rf8zy7f]

I believe, oh I believe, what Doc says to me. Bucks in 6

Giannis is back tho u heard it here first

[@andreiburgoscavazos5901]

​@@masonvibes357giannis coming back tomorrow?

[@K9-Z3RO]

Potentially dame out 🥺

[@carteryork8076]

He’s out, it’s his Achilles, doc isn’t going to risk his career over one game.

[@Ril3y_34]

We r done for

[@orchang2]

@@carteryork8076 Glenn Rivers is to blame for Dame and Giannis injuries because he gave star players unnecessarily many minutes late in the season because of the poor records

[@goat964]

Lol mannnnn no dock didn't say bobby was on the wrong block

[@georgestacy-ec5io]

Doc still won't play Marjon Beauchamp.

[@glst1974]

What is that about?

[@cpbballbeast]

Sit khris too, no need for anymore bad luck

[@elmztana1201]

Bruh stop crying like a quitter

[@100maxPower]

Khris/Brook pick and roll all day long. Bucks in 6!

[@Dats_dope]

Damn bucks haven’t caught a break since winning the ship injuries for the last couple post seasons

[@No_Hate_Only_Facts]

Doc Rivers is so mad that Giannis got injured. Aww poor Doc Rivers. Everyone has an achilles injury now, yall. Doc, Giannis, Dame, Khris, Brook and assistant coaches all have achilles injury, y'all.

[@druniversal21]

LOL 🤣

[@ay_dmoney6200]

Why wait until tomorrow for the decision just tell us Dame is not playing already . Oh well on to next season.

[@Lightdragon773]

Giannis gotta be at least 80%, but even then with how the pacers play, he's probably gonna get risk the injury. BROOK LOPEZ GOTTA REMEMBER HOW TO REBOUND!

[@hehuang5533]

In the time of AI, If I put Doc Rivers history into any shitty Machine Learning model, I could easily got, this coach is fucking bad, why buck believe him?! There is a pattern we can learn from his past history, all "bad-luck" has a reason. Giannis: please find another team. You own nothing else to bucks.

[@napG1]

PLEASE trade Brook next season. No reason a 7fter only has 9 rebounds in 3 games during the playoffs. Then he’s barely scoring 15pts? Please get rid of him.

[@JaWon414]

Fear The Deer 🦌. We got this

[@MotionalBody]

Eric Nehm is just awful at asking questions

[@peteroc1368]

There will be no Eric Nehm slander..put some respect in his name

[@MotionalBody]

@@peteroc1368 I respect him. He’s a respected reporter, just stale in my opinion.

[@gurpritjohal2221]

Sadly this will be done in 5.. not sure if Horst be back next year but he has lots to do. Pc,Beasley and Jae should not be wearing bucks uniform next year!!! And maybe get rid of doc!!’

[@elmztana1201]

I don’t mind pat of the bench .

[@__yvngrich]

This series IS “THE SERIES” to watch! Not just because The Pacers are in our way but because this is One of the Two Divisional Playoff Games that will Upset the Nuggets from OUT THE EAST.

[@ernestodejesus5741]

I like your T-shirt, Coach - Thrilla in Manila.

[@dragonrings14]

Look here is your lineup without Dame and Giannis: Lopez C (Gallinari as backup C) Portis PF (Beauchamp as backup PF) Middleton SF (Jae Crowder as backup SF) Ajax SG (AJ Green as backup SG) Pat Bev PG (Pat Connaughton as backup PG) Remember to use the bench and sub properly. The Bucks rested are stronger than the Pacers.

[@marc-gomes]

*Thanasis needs to play in place of Gallinari. They need energy, defense, and rebounds. (!)

[@whitewalker3292]

whos the biggest clown? glenn rivers or jon horst?

[@Tredxyy32]

Look man i understand us bucks fans can see the situation and stop believing but let’s ride it out with our team we only 1 game from a even series it’s next man up mentality that’s all I believe until the pacers prove they can win 4🤷🏾‍♂️

[@lenora3639]

We won’t be ready, we have nobody

[@warmbeergamingdude]

I hope he’s been paying ray Paul and kevin a portion of his salary😂.

[@Because_Truth_Matters]

These injuries excuses will not work next season. Enjoy while it lasts. Do i think Dame injured his achilles? Heck no. Heck no. What do they say about achilles? IT'S A NO GO ZONE WHEN IT COMES TO ACHILLES. So why Dame continued playing if he was really injured? No, seriously. I am a dude who doesn't make exuses bro. Like if I lose, I lose. Excuses is insane bro. This is why i like Mike Budenholzer. In 2021 i remember ppl saying the Bucks needed to duck the Heat. Mike Budenholzer went at the Heat and the Bucks annihilated the Heat and won a championship. Like that's respect. I don't know the relationship between Mike Budenholzer and Giannis was, but I think he was the best coach for the Bucks. Doc Rivers and Dame is a bad combination cause both like to make excuses.

[@shoobydoo-xf3ub]

He lost us the game by staying in.

[@dandachliboxing6513]

Dame hurt his Achilles in the 4th and Adrenaline kept him in but he wasn’t able to do shit

[@JaWon414]

Why do you attack Dame on every comment. We did not rebound in game 3 that's what hurt us get the hate out your heart and root for all our players stop Dame blaming the man has been through enough

[@CoachRJ334]

All y'all are toxic Buck fans this is why y'all will be in misery for the hatred deflected on Dame .....Pacer in 5 on you ungrateful mofos 🗣️

[@YonatanAraya-id3fs]

Giannis should be back 💪

[@asadholmes8539]

Dude is down 2-1 with both stars out and Khris Middleton probably out. Wtf is he smiling and laughing for? Nothing abt his situation is funny and I’m not feeling this lack of competitive approach

[@tonytone1395]

Bro chill

[@orchang2]

if you get a $40 M contract for being the dumbest coach in the whole league (or in the history of the league) wouldn't you be happy too

[@ishanmartins1539]

I hope this reaches through. But shoot three's guys!!! You won't win this game without three's!!!
