The Spurs are suddenly surging, and tied with the Sixers for the the second-longest current win streak at 6. They've gotten some luck on the way, but it couldn't have come at a better time as they are still clawing for the playoffs. Their situation looks better than it did two weeks ago, but now is not the time to let up. Aldridge has been playing at an MVP level, and the Spurs need that if they want to continue to collect Ws.

The Bucks are a talented young team who occasionally play questionable defense (i.e. every player chases the ball like a bunch of six-year-olds playing soccer). Giannis is marked as questionable for today's game, but according to reports, he went through practice this morning and is expected to play.

Day games are always funky, so lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for a good one.

[Spurtacular]

F*ck. So early; and I'm leaving. Hopefully I catch the second half.

[phxspurfan]

I sense an L on this one just due to timing and a let down after a winning streak. Hope it isn't true, but this isn't really as do-or-die as the game against the Jizz

[Seventyniner]

Spurs went from -2.5 to -1 in the last hour so I'm guessing that's word that Giannis will play.

[TimDunkem]

Giannis will be playing today.

[Dex]

I'm kinda torn on that.

On one hand, this is one of the easier matchups the Spurs have left on the schedule...so a loss would be kind of disappointing.

On the other, they still have 4 games left against bubble teams which, imo, are must wins...and a tough matchup with Houston looming.

Any win they can pick up helps their cause, so I think they just gotta go for it.

[Chinook]

Giannis will be playing today.

Where's Zaza when you need him?

[cd021]

Milwaukee's centers aren't especially strong, I expect Aldridge to bully the hell outta Henson and Maker tbh.

[Chris]

977974395804119040

hopefully they rusty AF

[cd021]

8 Games left after today, half expecting an alert on my phone officially ruling Kawhi out for the season. :depressed:bang

[K...]

Also tonight giannis is on 60 minutes I assume after Stormy Daniels. This isn't related to today's game in any way but may be auspicious?

[UZER]

Can’t wait for this Giannis v Kawhi matchup!

[K...]

Giannis hit 28pts and 12 rebounds last time e played. Manu had a hero game but the Spurs fell short.


. .We forgot a little bit about L.A.,'' said Ginobili, who had a season-high 18 points. ''We couldn't feed him. We should have used him way more.''


Better not forget LMA this time guys

[MoSpur02]

Hopefully Gay continues to ball

[Darius Bieber]

Bucks by 20+ tbh

[Chinook]

Bucks by 20+ tbh

Is that before or after learning Giannis is going to play?

[r0drig0lac]

good game

[r0drig0lac]

the most athletic team in the league is one of the only ones that can really overcome the spurs in the rebounds

[K...]

Good to see patty hit one, defense looks good rebounding poor transition poor.

[BillMc]

We got this. not worried

[$pursDynasty]

I guess the fast start by the starters last game was an aberration

[K...]

Ok this team sucks. Both teams suck really

[LakerHater]

Damn, LMA is weak.

Once he can't back anyone dwn, he shuts dwn mentally

[Dex]

Pop needs to get a lineup change. Starters have been off so far.

[$pursDynasty]

HOTS in to wake up the offense

[Darius Bieber]

This team is straight trash

[r0drig0lac]

parker and mills together against the longest team in the league?Gay Bertans and Kyle need to be on court in positions 3 and 4 the whole game

[NASpurs]

Probably won’t get another road win this year.

[Hoops Czar]

Every time Danny shoots the ball, it should be marked down as an unforced turnover.

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs are literally getting run out of the building

[TDTPMG21920]

Gasol enters and promptly gives up an offensive rebound, happens every time

[Hoops Czar]

Gashole, you old fuck.

[r0drig0lac]

I hope spurs can break 70 points today

[spursistan]

Gasol has fallen off cliff as the season went on ..Dude is a full-fledged TOSB..

[K...]

Eesh two to on Tony, and he's not hitting. Still better than fatty

[Dex]

Great...not only can we not hit a shot, but we have to deal with dogshit refs.

I hate day games.

[NASpurs]

I hope spurs can break 70 points today

While the Bucks are going to have that by the half

[K...]

God damn gasil can't even hit from 2 ft

[Proxy]

good move by Pau, bullshit call

TP looks like trash, we have Manu, Pau, and Rudy out there and he's just turning it over or passing it to our d-league player

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes, Mills, Parker, today is no game for dwarves and slow olds like Gasol, SA should mount Manu / Danny / Gay / Kyle / Aldridge for most of the game or will probably be destroyed

[Proxy]

watching the Bucks cast and the announcers are saying this is the hardest they've played all year, take if for what it's worth

[TDTPMG21920]

Everyone playing scared out there

[SPURt]

57% shooting to 27% shooting is the story. Plus Tony’s amazing passing.... to the Bucks.

[K...]

I had a recent hope that the day game thing was a product of Timmy's stubbornness, and would get better when he retired, but I guess all tosb teams suck in that regard

[Ruler]

HOTS in to wake up the offense
Tony is looking like hot garbage the past few games. He can't get by anyone, can't pass, and can't hit a jumper to save his life. Same with Pau. Both guys are washed up, especially Gasol. Pau cannot get a contested rebound even if it's bouncing waist high in front of him with his man on his back. He can't bend over. He can't run. Goddamn he has 2 more seasons left smh

[urunobili]

The fix is in. The Maker walk, the foul on Pau... geez refs come on

[TheDoctor]

:flag:

[K...]

watching the Bucks cast and the announcers are saying this is the hardest they've played all year, take if for what it's worth

They have their Star back with them. Imagine how hard the Spurs would play if kawhi stuited up

[K...]

The bucks can't shoot either, Spurs are contesting but bucks just have too much energy even though it's levels off

[Proxy]

Manu and Rudy should just keep it a two man game until subs come in

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs look lost out there, this is a bad loss

[TDTPMG21920]

Everyone scared to shoot or rushing their shots, gotta calm down

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs need to pack the paint and force the Bucks to beat them from outside

[Darius Bieber]

This is the most shittiest line up you can put up against the Bucks

[Hoops Czar]

When it's not LMA post up, it's Rudy Gay post up. Pop is the one trick pony that's all out of tricks.

[Dex]

Fuck these refs, tbh. Giving the Bucks ticky-tack calls while the Spurs are getting mauled.

[TDTPMG21920]

Fucking Gasol PMSing all over the court

[bklynspursfan]

Zone is pretty effective thus far. :tu

[NASpurs]

“Former Spurs assistant “ ... of course

[r0drig0lac]

Aldridge!!!!

[DAF86]

Why the Parker/Murray switch in the midst of this winning Streak? Parker and Mills together sure looks like a winning formula. :rolleyes

[Proxy]

good refocus

[bklynspursfan]

There we go

[K...]

Fuck all that whining by us, and they're down by only two

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

One hell of a run

[TheDoctor]

:lma

[Dex]

Well, as bad as the first quarter was, the Spurs were able to knot it again with 6 minutes in the 2nd. Good momentum shift.

[Ruler]

Great job getting back into the game boys. The zone has got them stumped. You have to clog the paint when Giannis, Henson, and Bledsoe are in there. And Shabbaz.

We have to penetrate and kick, then give LMA room to operate down low. Nice come back

[r0drig0lac]

with only 1 dwarf on the court we really have a chance to fight, no more forbes / parker backcourt please

[TheDoctor]

DJ fucking Jason Terry... Beautiful.

[TheDoctor]

Hell of a run tbh. Good job guys :tu

[Proxy]

woah I didn't realize bilbo baggins coached the bucks

[bklynspursfan]

Gay is a strong dude. So physical

[TheDoctor]

Zone is working pretty good as of now

[TheDoctor]

Thunderefs sighting :pctoss

[r0drig0lac]

Gay is a strong dude. So physical

yes, Gay Aldridge and Kyle is too long for the other teams, a healthy Kawhi would have made this team ridiculously hard to beat

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi/L-Train/Gay

hash ThePotential

[TheDoctor]

Man Spurs are getting mauled and no call dafuq

[NASpurs]

Not a good game for any of the old farts.

[HarlemHeat37]

Gay is so bad on defense and on the boards, but his offense has been a nice relief when he's been utilized in the correct units that hide his flaws..

Milwaukee has played the Spurs very well even when Kawhi was in the lineup..their length really bothers SA..they're horrible on defense against virtually every other team, but the Spurs' lack of ball-handlers, slow pace and style plays into their shitty scheme(Milwaukee is routinely killed by penetration for 3s)..

[SPURt]

That zone was way more effective than I expected. Pretty nice to be tied after starting down 13. 18-0 in fast break points is pretty bad.

[BillMc]

Kawhi/L-Train/Gay

hash ThePotential


yes, Gay Aldridge and Kyle is too long for the other teams, a healthy Kawhi would have made this team ridiculously hard to beat

Yep. Let's hope we see it. If not this season, next.

[SAGirl]

Pop benching Davis bc of Forbes... :wakeup

[duncan2k5]

They have their Star back with them. Imagine how hard the Spurs would play if kawhi stuited up

Not sure if u know... He is injured...

[dbestpro]

Kawhi/L-Train/Gay

hash ThePotential

Kawhi still with the mental health issues.

[Raven]

we did a great job getting back in the game. But too many TOs today.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Danny Green's offense sucks

[TheDoctor]

Does Danny knows Giannis is trash from trey?

[Raven]

Transition Danny, ladies and gentleman

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That's ball game

[r0drig0lac]

welp...

[Raven]

wtf, why pass it there Murray

[TheDoctor]

Watching Jason Terry getting fucked :elephant

[dbestpro]

Anderson turns over the ball as much as Manu without any of the special Manu moments.

[Raven]

that was not a shooting foul

[Robz4000]

Spurs are just helpless against Milwaukee's length.

[dbestpro]

Anderson making one mistake after another. What is wrong with that dude. He did the same thing in the last game and almost lost it by himself.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck this team, jesus christ

[NASpurs]

The success of the gimmicky zone defense wasn’t going to last. Who would had thought

[Robz4000]

Spurs let another game slip away.

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs are just helpless against Milwaukee's length.

76ers and Bucks are the teams that SA can not beat with their best strength (size) because they have size, athleticism and talent to overcome every match

[Robz4000]

:rollin Pop's panicky lineups

[jyra]

Why does Forbes keep getting minutes when he is doing absolutely nothing..

[Raven]

how about we put a center in?

[dbestpro]

Forbes does know he is suppose to play defense too. Doesn't he?

[TDTPMG21920]

Has Forbes scored any points in the last two months? That dude seemingly misses every shot

[Raven]

good lord forbes...

[TimDunkem]

Det Forbes defense.

[dbestpro]

how about we put a center in?

Spurs getting killed playing small ball. They always have. Pop just won't let it go.

[K...]

gasol ain't bad I guess

[TheDoctor]

Det Forbes defense.

:lol locked in.

[Robz4000]

Spurs getting killed playing small ball. They always have. Pop just won't let it go.

Small ball is fine, they just get killed when Pop plays midgets that can't defend in those lineups.

[SAGirl]

Tony has been pretty bad too.

[$pursDynasty]

Pau not completely useless today

[TimDunkem]

:lol locked in.

As in feet locked to the ground. Guy is a traffic cone.

Smh...And he doesn't even have any culture. :lol

[keithington1]

White should be getting minutes. Why is BP3 on the team ?

[K...]

Well at least it won't be another 4rth quarter collapse

[twincam]

Spurs seem to shy away on fast breaks. As if they are scared to be aggressive.

[SPURt]

Forbes and Tony looking pretty bad today, i wish White was at least available to try. The guards are poop today

[SAGirl]

Well it’s too bad Davis didn’t dethrone Forbes and Pop has redshirted White this season.

[r0drig0lac]

damn fuck forbes

[Raven]

thon maker sucks balls

[Robz4000]

Forbes has completely fallen off a cliff.

[SAGirl]

Like Gasol, after a bad start he’s competing better

[TimDunkem]

"Best shooter we've ever seen :cry"

[Raven]

gasol unguardable

[r0drig0lac]

Gasol

[Robz4000]

Bucks on pace for 40 in this quarter.

[Hoops Czar]

Damn, :lol at all these non believers in the thread, smh.

[Raven]

holy cow pau

[Snaq O'Meal]

Tony has been pretty bad too.

Midgets like Fatty, Forbes and Farker should never see court time against athletic teams with length.

[duncan2k5]

Pop doesn't get the concept of small ball... Small ball isn't simply playing short people... It's playing a matchup that the player may have a size disadvantage but makes up for it by being faster and more skilled... Draymond/ lebron at PF... Or Giannis at center are great examples

Patty Mills and Bryn Forbes at SG, and Danny Green at SF is just stupid... Because they are all shorter, slower, AND less skilled than everyone they play against... That's not small ball... That's just dumb

[Hoops Czar]

Forbes has completely fallen off a cliff.

Forbes was at the bottom of the cliff to start with. He didn't have far to fall.

[HarlemHeat37]

Rudy Gay's rebounding is an embarrassment, tbh..looks like Bertans..

[TDTPMG21920]

That Muhammad scrub literally only plays well against the Spurs

[duncan2k5]

Pop doesn't get the concept of small ball... Small ball isn't simply playing short people... It's playing a matchup that the player may have a size disadvantage but makes up for it by being faster and more skilled... Draymond/ lebron at PF... Or Giannis at center are great examples

Patty Mills and Bryn Forbes at SG, and Danny Green at SF is just stupid... Because they are all shorter, slower, AND less skilled than everyone they play against... That's not small ball... That's just dumb

[Robz4000]

:lmao 41 points given up in the quarter

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes has completely fallen off a cliff.

what? he was always a scrub

[HarlemHeat37]

Where does Forbes rank among the worst defenders in Spurs history?

[Robz4000]

That Muhammad scrub literally only plays well against the Spurs

Add him to the list.

[Leetonidas]

Forbes is so fucking useless man. If he isn't hitting a shot he literally does nothing else

[Robz4000]

what? he was always a scrub

He could at least score a bit. Now he's a complete liability at both ends.

[Darius Bieber]

Forbes must have leaked nudes of Pop. Only explanation.

[TimDunkem]

Maybe scrubs go off on the Spurs because there isn't a single defender on this team after DG?

[spurs10]

Nice three at the buzzer ...@#!!*&$!

[r0drig0lac]

Pop doesn't get the concept of small ball... Small ball isn't simply playing short people... It's playing a matchup that the player may have a size disadvantage but makes up for it by being faster and more skilled... Draymond/ lebron at PF... Or Giannis at center are great examples

Patty Mills and Bryn Forbes at SG, and Danny Green at SF is just stupid... Because they are all shorter, slower, AND less skilled than everyone they play against... That's not small ball... That's just dumb

the scariest thing is that this is clear to any troll in the spurstalk, but one of the greatest coaches in history continues with this stupidity game after game

[BillMc]

Is my math right? Did we just give up a 41 point quarter? Ugh

[r0drig0lac]

gasol again

[Robz4000]

Good to see Gasol still has something left in the tank, at least.

[Leetonidas]

MVPau :wow

[TE]

Maybe scrubs go off on the Spurs because there isn't a single defender on this team after DG?
:lol this.

People bitch and complain “this and that scrub goes off!”. It has every bit to do with the scrubs on this team guarding said player

[TDTPMG21920]

These Bucks are terrible against penetration, if only the spurs had more of that

[Robz4000]

:lol this.

People bitch and complain “this and that scrub goes off!”. It has every bit to do with the scrubs on this team guarding said player

Even with good defenders there are those players that continously torch the Spurs.

[SpurPadre]

These Bucks are terrible against penetration, if only the spurs had more of that

Nobody is better at penetration than TP, tbh.

[Darius Bieber]

Reminder that these Bucks have given up 115+ over the last 8 games to opposing teams. Spurs have 77.

[SAGirl]

I’d stop complaining about Forbes if he at least did some Gary Neal shit! at least shoot a few 3s. I am sure Pop would go nuts and play him 20 minutes rest of the season so perhaps I’d regret it but at least there would be a reason...

[jyra]

Why is Zeller playing for the Bucks?

[SAGirl]

Pau !!

[HarlemHeat37]

Wasting Pau's best game in months:lol

[gambit1990]

Reminder that these Bucks have given up 115+ over the last 8 games to opposing teams. Spurs have 77.
:lol

[SpurPadre]

Would you guys rather have AntecuckooforcocoaPuffs or KaWHYSOSOFT Leonard?

[SAGirl]

Hopefully Davis gets hot

[r0drig0lac]

forbes in the court practically the whole game while Bertans who at least have size and athleticism only gets minutes on the 4th..ok Pop

[Raven]

why patty again

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol midget ball..Middleton doesn't have to do anything but rise and shoot..

[K...]

we'll grudgingly score 100 but not a point more

[Darius Bieber]

Bucks sweeping the season series against the Spurs :lmao

[NASpurs]

forbes in the court practically the whole game while Bertans who at least have size and athleticism only gets minutes on the 4th..ok Pop

At least Pop had a hot take before the game as to why Trump wasnt at the march so we’ll be hearing about that for days.

[jyra]

978021284142600192

[NASpurs]

Pop’s going to lose to another former assistant?

[spurs10]

Okay time to stop toying with these guys and turn it up!
Glad LMA got fouled with Greek’s face!

[K...]

we need beat mode LMA to pull this shit out, praying to god for touches

[Raven]

Aldridge is good.

[HarlemHeat37]

Aldridge needs to play 48 minutes and Forbes should get 0:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Okay time to stop toying with these guys and turn it up!
Glad LMA got fouled with Greek’s face!

Gotta make our move now. Got a nice little mini-rebuilding, but the d has to remain great and can't turn it over. This one isn't over yet, but so much work to do

[Robz4000]

:lmao Murray

[r0drig0lac]

Aldridge with silent 30 points in 19 shots

[bklynspursfan]

Pau with some big time play today. Keep on fighting

[HarlemHeat37]

That terrible 3rd quarter lineup is going to cost them this game, sadly..

[r0drig0lac]

giannis curry

[Spurtacular]

Just tuning in. Losing to the Milwaukee Fucks! :bang

[TDTPMG21920]

Of course that greek dude doesn't shoot bricks against the spurs

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol washed-up Eric Bledsoe and Giannis raining Js..

[SAGirl]

LDN sighting

[Spurtacular]

That terrible 3rd quarter lineup is going to cost them this game, sadly..

Joffrey didn't play. Unless Rec League Parker got too much time it couldn't have been too bad.

[TheGreatYacht]

Jesus fucking Christ. Why is Fatty guarding Bledsoe while Murray is on Terry? :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Joffrey didn't play. Unless Rec League Parker got too much time it couldn't have been too bad.

You missed Bryn Forbes having one of the worst defensive stretches of the season..

[r0drig0lac]

c'mon murray

[Spurtacular]

You missed Bryn Forbes having one of the worst defensive stretches of the season..

That's like every time he plays. He's fundamentally unsound. He can't even do a decent fucking closeout.

[SAGirl]

978021284142600192
Thanks for sharing... that’s too bad I wanted to see him more and less of Forbes.

Hopefully he doesn’t have Kawhi’s eye changing eye infection or something

[Spurtacular]

That was overzealous play by DJ. Just let Gasol grab the damn ball.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is Poop doing a pushing motion? Murray didn't get pushed old man. I'm convinced he seriously has dementia

[SAGirl]

Murrayyyyyy

[Proxy]

is that out of bounds? He let possession go and reclaimed the ball or?...

[TE]

That’s bullshit

[SAGirl]

Joffrey didn't play. Unless Rec League Parker got too much time it couldn't have been too bad.
Parker played... a lot of minutes in that Q

[TimDunkem]

Pop has gone soft. There was a time when bums like Forbes would never see the floor.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bledsoe can't do a damn thing with Murray on it. Worlds difference compared to Fatty, who jukes himself out of his shoes before the ball is even inbounds

[r0drig0lac]

Why is Poop doing a pushing motion? Murray didn't get pushed old man. I'm convinced he seriously has dementia

lmao

[spurs10]

Justice prevails! Spurs ball!

[Spurtacular]

That’s bullshit

What the fuck is the point of replay if they're gonna make the wrong fucking call?

"Best referees in the world." David Stern

[TheGreatYacht]

Just give the clipboard to Udoka smdh

[TimDunkem]

Poop still draws up plays?

[TE]

Wow fuckery

[TheGreatYacht]

Poop is such a flaming pussy :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

great game

[Robz4000]

:lmao what the fuck was that Murray?!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What the fuck was that? Terrible ending to the game Jesus Christ

[TheGreatYacht]

Poop still draws up plays?
He knows he sucks at it. That's why he always makes sure to run out of timeouts in crunch time.

[TDTPMG21920]

You gotta be fucking kidding me Murray

[Darius Bieber]

This Spurs team is the most anti-clutch team ever

[TE]

That was an and-one for Pau Gasol

Dejounte showing a lot of youth there. But no fucking player went into any kind of motion to set screen or some shit.

[Spurtacular]

Pop didn't use the timeout to come up with a end of the game play in advance. SMDH

[Proxy]

:pctoss

[TE]

Shitty way to end the game

[emanueldavidginobili]

No timeout by Pop with DJ with the ball and obviously looked confused hahaha what a joke.

[Quiet Strength]

Should have called timeout

[Arcadian]

Damn...terrible shot, and terrible decision making by Murray there. Hope it's a learning experience, but it will be one that costs us a playoff seed.

[Ice009]

Did the Spurs have any timeouts left??

What in the fuck was that coaching from Pop? Fucking retarded. What a waste. You needed to get a decent look at a 3. Win or lose, that was an unacceptable shot when you have 11 seconds left.

[Spurtacular]

I liked what I saw tuning in for the last five minutes. No excuse to lose to the Shmucks, tbh.

[TE]

Pop is a fucking idiot, too.

[Robz4000]

Time to get the tank back on track!

[BillMc]

By the holy hand-grenade what the Hell was that?

[SAGirl]

I feel bad for Murray but the midget ball Pop threw out there was too much to overcome. Forbes needs to be scorching to see more than token minutes...

[TimDunkem]

DJ giving Fathead a run for his money as the worst possible player to have the final shot with the game on the line.

[Darius Bieber]

Did the Spurs have any timeouts left??

What in the fuck was that coaching from Pop? Fucking retarded. What a waste. You needed to get a decent look at a 3. Win or lose, that was an unacceptable shot when you have 11 seconds left.

Yep, 1 timeout left at the end.

[Dex]

WTF Pop didn't call a time out is beyond me. Spurs obviously had nothing going on with that last play.

[SpurPadre]

As someone who couldn't see the game, why in the FUCK did Murray of all people take that 3 at the end?

[gambit1990]

spurs still #5 seed? #6?

[Spurtacular]

Should have called timeout

I assume we didn't have a timeout. But if we did and Poop saw Murray diddling with the ball, then that's on him.

[K...]

well at least we weren't ebmarrased hope pop has one good speech to get these guys to not give up whole quarters....

[FkLA]

Why is that retard DJ ever in during crunch time? I don't mind the no timeout but that strategy should've been thrown out the window when Pop saw DJ being an erratic retard.

[TE]

I forgot that we had a TO...inexcusable on the coaching staff not to call a TO.

[BillMc]

Murray with a very bad play to say the least.

[Darius Bieber]

spurs still #5 seed? #6?

#6. Pelicans own the tiebreaker.

[Spurtacular]

As someone who couldn't see the game, why in the FUCK did Murray of all people take that 3 at the end?

Murray never should have had the ball in the first place. He should've been in a corner if they wanted to leave him open for a three, then that's the only reason to be settling for a Murray three.

[Hoops Czar]

Another moral victory for the Spurs!!!

[SAGirl]

DJ giving Fathead a run for his money as the worst possible player to have the final shot with the game on the line.
:lmao For shits and giggles

[HarlemHeat37]

Why would you trust your inexperienced PG there when you have a timeout? This isn't time for learning, they're trying to get a playoff birth..

[gambit1990]

#6. Pelicans own the tiebreaker.
that’s what i thought, wasn’t sure though.

[BillMc]

Murray didn't even look at the sideline. No chance for play or a time out. Young Westbookian stupid.

[TDTPMG21920]

Pop should have called a timeout once he saw Murray with the ball

[Chinook]

WTF Pop didn't call a time out is beyond me. Spurs obviously had nothing going on with that last play.

I think he was willing to go for a quick-two there and was trying to get Murray to drive and either make the basket or kick it out. It wasn't a bad idea considering MKE had guys like Henson and Giannis on the floor who can't be relied on to shoot 2/2 in clutch moments. With the way the team had been shooting threes, I don't think it's absurd to not rely on them getting a good shot at the end.

[ElNono]

This is a good lesson why Manu still closes quarters/games

[Spurs da champs]

Pop is terrible.

[TE]

Why is that retard DJ ever in during crunch time? I don't mind the no timeout but that strategy should've been thrown out the window when Pop saw DJ being an erratic retard.
DJ had played adequately enough not to be replaced by TP or god forbid Forbes.

That last play though... blame goes to Pop, then the team on the court not getting into motion. DJ is a fucking kid tbh, and not one you can trust to make something happen in that juncture of a game
