[@CoachRJ334]

All Lopez had to do was swing it back to Dame

[@yardieforlife5189]

Doc Rivers already f*****g up the Bucks!

[@SlimKim3]

How?

[@julianbashir8277]

Rivers not out there playing defense

[@dipsetkory7964]

Surprise to no one

[@maxpennacchini3261]

Just like Harden to the Clippers right? Or did we forget that 5 game losing streak already? Football fans react less impulsively than NBA fans

[@calebadamu]

The Doc Rivers effect

[@clustajr]

KD that dude but y’all knew that 💪🏽🔥

[@nickbh15]

I love how all these casuals blaming doc now like dame hasn’t been mid all season

[@FreeMonya]

33/13 then you fire your coach and then drop 2 straight sounds like the coach to me

[@chirelius76]

Yeah yeah we all smart here we all smart. Called it. Calling it. Yeah yeah.

[@nickbh15]

@@FreeMonya so they have 13 losses, not the coach, now two more losses and it’s the coach according to your logic

[@string2155]

This stretch of games for the bucks is actually difficult. Doc has a point that he’d prefer to start after all star.

[@LexiSantos]

​@@FreeMonya The bench is bad and defense is bad. Thy thought it was a coach problem, but we see its not.

[@gavincallister8908]

Brook really was foreshadowing himself taking dames game winning shot in Portland with the shot dame hit earlier in the season for game

[@CoachRJ334]

Doc Rivers and his rotation and why does Giannis have the ball when they were down 3 .....Great offense ...This team is selfish and 1st exit waiting to happen

[@arealgoodguy]

Bucks play better without a coach.

[@kaysheye7784]

when have we seen Bucks without a coach though?

[@3ricegr3at]

Dame waited too long to leave Portland. He’s obviously lost a step. Shouldn’t be an allstar starter over Brunson or Mitchell.

[@KNByam]

He should never have left. A ring won't define him. He could've stayed with one team, made a boat load and be revered in that town.

[@xTBCGx]

​@@KNByamnah, he wasn't a good fit for the team anymore, and he hasn't lost enough of a step to take Milwaukee deep into the playoffs.

[@dbreiden83080]

I tell you this Milwaukee Bucks team is starting to become a bit of an embarrassment. Now with Doc Rivers, they aren’t scoring as many points.

[@vickiwampler9823]

2 games bro…2 games

[@dbreiden83080]

@@vickiwampler9823 But it is falling apart.. Between the coaching change, the lousy D, the older roster and having a tough schedule in the 2nd half.. Things are looking bleak..

[@vickiwampler9823]

@@dbreiden83080 yea I agree, it’s not a coaching issue tho

[@wolfy_conservative911]

Celtics won the trade..

[@xmar7]

Brook sold a classic ending

[@joshpinheiro1001]

Seems like Lopes isn't happy Dame is the 2nd guy. Seems like he wants to take the final shot and not dame

[@vickiwampler9823]

I guess I missed the part where Dame passed it…to Lopez. If you wanna shoot the last shot then don’t give the ball up. They should trade Lopez, that’ll fix everything…right???

[@Javmon9]

Bucks will be eliminated in the first round

[@marckusduverger9776]

Dang, I know in the regular season you could lose to any team but dang, Portland?

[@Javmon9]

They barely beat the Pistons also

[@KNByam]

Yeah, blame the coach, again.

[@xTBCGx]

Portland has been playing well for the last few games. I was a little surprised too, but they've looked good

[@NLGabriel75]

Doc Rivers already having a negative impact to the Bucks. Bucks are now on a losing streak with this man 🤦🏾 I understand it’s only two games but the team needs to get their act together. They look very childish right now.

[@ricocomia7240]

Doc getting fired after 2 games…

[@ChildofGod98765]

Please pray for me and my children. I trust in God and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children and myself. As a single mother things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. God please hear my prayers. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m struggling. God hear my prayers.

[@VOTE-jw6qy]

Why is Lillard passing the ball to anyone else at all!? Isn't he getting paid the big money to be the closer? In my opinion the issue with the Bucks has to do with them firing Budenholzer and trading Holiday. There was just no reason for these moves. And now they are paying the price without a coach and a player who plays no defense in the back court.

[@Eats1987]

Did he get a tribute video ? 🤔

[@gregbors8364]

Yes

[@jasonvegan5761]

Durant’s bald spot and widow’s peak is out of control

[@vickiwampler9823]

Lookin good Jason!

[@Bigpoppadoja]

Doc gotta have some dirt on someone cause how tf did he get this job? 😂

[@MisterD79]

Twice Brook should have passed it one more time to a wide open Dame. Stay in your lane bro ….

[@vickiwampler9823]

Wide open??? I guess you're right, swing it back to the guy who shot 9-23 and 3-13 that night. He definitely would have hit that shot 100%

[@Criminal.Lawyer.2024]

Dame came to the game and got shamed.

[@eamonnoski]

Bucks lead by a bucket at the break while the video shows the 3rd? C'mon SVP.

[@playboylifestyle7599]

Dame is trash 🗑️

[@CoachRJ334]

Bucks trash 🗑️

[@wayv2638]

if they go on a four or five game skid we can start to blame Doc. This was the best verison of POR-everyone on the same page, very few selfish shots, active defense, and effort throughout the game. POR won this game, the Bucks didn't take it seriously.

[@TheJoker--]

Dru Holiday was more important to the Bucks than Lillard is. Holiday played defense and was a great offensive facilitator......Lillard is a liability on defense.

[@vaughnmiller4371]

If I'm Damian Lillard, Brook Lopez and I are having a meeting today. Lopez knew darn well that Dame deserve to take that shot make or miss.

[@lmars]

Brook knows he had no business taking that shot… but since Brook wanted to take the game winning shot against Sacramento and Dame didn’t pass it back. This game it was Brook’s opportunity to get his lick back. #Fail

[@CaliBasquiat21]

Dame gotta throw that alley to giannis, it’s either a bucket or foul

[@terrencehughes5096]

The defense and the bench gave away this game

[@iwishiwasthomasshelby]

Doc Rivers must be really good at politics. Never seen someone so bumbling get so much work.

[@julianbashir8277]

Espn really is falls short on its youtube channel. They rarely post game highlights

[@waldo255]

I wonder if Giannis will get his new coach fire 😂😂

Of course. That dude blaming every coach until he gets another chip

[@Brian-oy6th]

Not a huge fan of KD, but props to him for not ducking this game

[@capcomfan303]

Why would he?

Why didn’t Lopez give it back to Dame 😂

[@lmars]

Because Brook wanted to take the game winning shot against Sacramento and Dame didn’t pass it back. So it was Brook’s opportunity to get his lick back.

[@rbermea]

Both of them should have been booed in their returns. K.D was booed in Brooklyn as he and his Phoenix Suns destroyed the Brooklyn Nets in Bed-Stuy.
