Kash I will never doubt you again bro. Bucks legend.

Can we just appreciate that dame still stepped up closed the gap after sustaining a potential serious injury

[@bradleylister832]

Didn't close it enough😂😂

[@israelrodriguez-xz8it]

Mad respect to Dame

[@gsosa4129]

Foul baited at 40 seconds left was a low IQ move that’s my only complaint

[@Endalamu]

​@@gsosa4129as a dame fan i agree

[@Tankt0ptig3r]

@@gsosa4129 yea that one was one of the moments that costed the game, along with brook missing an absolute free open floater. combine that with the fact that they cant secure a single rebound was their downfall. Really shows how much they miss Giannis

[@Ant01]

Someone needed to grab a rebound guys. So frustrating indy getting4 attempts in a row

[@qzplayspiano]

thank you khris

[@tnicole5583]

I never doubted Khris. He has always been the best Bucks player. Just sucks that he worked his butt off through an injury and it still wasnt enough. Keep your head up Khris!!

[@Mrcool19771]

Our players are always the guys that get injured. 🤦🤷

[@JY-km8zo]

Glenn Rivers play star players too many minutes (including Giannis late in the season)

This is a young man’s league

[@joshuabault5295]

As a pacers fan, hell of a game Bucks

[@one.only_hd]

Much respect, hopefully you can see the limited effort from our bigs to attract rebounds

[@user-bn6vw9gh1t]

That was one heckuva game I enjoyed watching it. Y’all should be holding your heads high. You’re just knocked it out of the park. Love me some Bucks!! #FearTheDeer

[@Miababe93]

Good job guys. Keep moving foward with ya head held high. Let's steal one on sunday. We need Giannis to heal as much as he can to be fully healthy. ❤ Let's go!!!

[@Peacekeepa317]

😂

[@__yvngrich]

Great game!

[@dauntewilliams5878]

Khris and Dame did great, but for the rest of you guys we love to watch you play but for peace sakes please get those boards dame shouldnt be the getting those off a shot when his main task is to shoot it tires him out we appreciate you guys a lot but get those boards no matter what

[@hunterhamm7966]

Khris was really reading his taxes😂😂😂

[@TaurusCurrie]

A couple of defensive rebounds in OT and Bucks would have taken this game easily. Slow the game down Sunday and let’s tie the series up. Brook Lopez please play like you’re 7’1 instead of 6’1.

[@tnicole5583]

3:02 not Khris with the fake yawn when Dame was talking about playing through an injury 😫

[@__yvngrich]

Y’all PLAYED!!

[@glenwade6932]

Ya'll played ya Azz Off!!! Good Job! I'm Still VERY HOPEFULL For You Guys, tough loss but you didn't fail this bucks fan!☝🏽it's just one game and it wasn't a blow out ..get that next game That's All and come home

[@33crushman]

Both y'all balled out tonight. Portis and Lopez let you down.

[@HighMo]

No. Quit being so negative

[@milwaukeesav6699]

Lopez yes. But Portis had 17 & 18.. How?🤨

[@minamotomike]

​@@milwaukeesav6699Couldn't get a def rebound 20 straight times...

I agree. Bobby needs to be benched and Lopez needs to focus on rebounds

[@dreday1062000]

@@israelrodriguez-xz8itAs a 7 footer, Lopez averages about 5 rebounds a game. He’s more concerned about hitting 3s.

people doubt us but wait till giannis is back

[@milwaukeesav6699]

Hope he comes back close to 100% we don’t want to rush him back like golden state did KD

[@whitewalker3292]

He won’t be back

[@erickthefantabulous1]

Are you sure he's coming back?They lose game four series is over. This is on doc for not trusting his young guys. I feel sorry for marjon. I know he can play AJ.Finally got a chance to play and look what he did. You need young legs against this pacer team, not being able to rebound Doom the buck's

[@whitewalker3292]

@@erickthefantabulous1 doc rivers is the end of this franchise he’s disgusting. Homeless people can score on bucks

[@BM0S]

Why would you risk and injured Giannis. Bucks are actually unserious. This series is winnable without Giannis i just wish the rest of the players would step it up fr

[@RayBingrunshard]

Let those young guys get minutes man. They have something to prove! Let them do it! Gotta fight fire with fire.

[@dragonrings14]

Once again I think the Bucks biggest opponent is the refs. There were some very questionable calls. Especially given there were 2 different calls where they claimed the Bucks stepped on the line when the replay showed they were clearly in.

[@Randomishh]

Patrick bev was not even close to touching that line. It definitely seems that 50-50 calls also went Indianas way. Bucks just have to play better so they don't lose to Indiana and the refs.

[@tylerdejesus6333]

Yea, they can’t rely on the refs, we gotta hoop

[@MillzSzn]

why does the team players ALWAYS ger hurt in the playoffs or close enough to the playoffs to miss games/series?

[@carteryork8076]

Please try to Draft Zach Edey in the off season, Brook is practically a walking coffin at this point.

Bucks in 6! 414 all day.

I wish all the Bucks haters will keep all the negative comments to themselves, the Bucks will do what has to be done and I'm proud of all the players.Go Bucks Go. Good luck on Sunday I will be cheering u on.

[@alexo5303]

Well said... respect

[@loganblumenberg]

Damn

[@johnathanporter9825]

Brook had 2 rebounds and that’s why the bucks lost

[@lilly.17]

Exactly! On one of the plays the pacers had 6/7 opportunities.

[@HarryCarterBucks2021NBACHAMPIO]

Could you imagine if we had Andre Drummond? 😂 IT’S OVAAA!

[@boozilla2400]

Exactly & last game he only had one rebound it’s time for us to get a younger center & bring brook off the bench

[@33crushman]

He's got 9 in the series

[@minamotomike]

​@@HarryCarterBucks2021NBACHAMPIOOr just Giannis. Or just box out with Bobby at least the 5th straight time we lost the rebound. We are long strong team. We CANT give that many 2nd chances with offensive rebounds

[@gsosa4129]

Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis should be ashamed off them selves Dame on one leg was the only one to have heart and finally get a rebound down the stretch…..

[@walterhenderson1723]

At least Bobby finished with 17 pts and 18 rebounds, how tf is Brook Lopez who is 7 feet tall only getting 4 rebounds in 40 minutes? Absolutely pitiful; plus he keeps getting cooked by miles turner, while Bobby did a decent job guarding Siakam

[@walterhenderson1723]

Great effort tonight, disappointing to lose but I loved the energy, we have to grab some more rebounds but we’ll be ready for game 4🔥

[@zachcokely]

Great game genuinely from both these guys. Mad respect for playing through injury and both of them making the most of it. As a Pacers fan, this series just doesn't feel right at all. I think we all know these games would look differently if y'all were at full strength. Hope we get to see Giannis back soon and that Dame/Khris recover quickly. Love the rivalry between our squads but never wish injuries on anyone or any team. That shit is terrible.

[@wunderkid8749]

It is a tough loss. Idk if they can put this type of performance again. I dont want Giannis to comeback too early. I dont want a KD 2019 injury.

[@Randomishh]

Bucks are known for 20 point come backs wtf you talking about. 😂😂 They got the right guys for this type of game but they just need to get ahead and stay ahead like game 1

[@Ant01]

Brook should have stayed at the bench down the stretch

[@AsianDude1]

ya'll musta forgot where you came from. why are the both of you fatigue during the game its the playoff, let's go 600 shots.

Lilard got a bad game !!! It happens!!! Middleton got a good game and the bench got a good game !!! And still got the game tight!!! Good defense game for the bucks … but the shots didn’t fall in !!!

Lopez is 7’2 and averages 5 rebounds a game…. He’s more concerned with hitting 3s and it’s great when he’s actually making them. Bobby did ok.. he was 17 and 18. Crowder and PC need to be traded. They never stand out.

If dame would just try to play defense all game, this game might have went a different way. Bucks allergic to rebounds. Bounce back fellas and clean it up.

[@chiefnakoma]

I have the opposite take. Dame showed me a lot coming back after that injury.

[@MTSStudiosLLC]

@@GODfaV every game he’s played is been bad on defense. This game ain’t no excuses. He watches the ball and waits to see if a teammate will get it. He only tried at the end.
