LOL @ the bucks.....they haven't been this inconsistent since Kidd was the head coach.
I disagree with the Middleton signing being the worst thing they did.....while I don't disagree it was a bad move...this team made a MUCH worse move than that, and its cost this team its championship aspirations....the single worst decision this organization has made in the last 50 years was firing coach Budenholzer....stupid, short sighted and its devastated your team play and more importantly, the team's chemistry...no one knows where they need to be or what they need to be doing and apparently neither Griff nor Doc are capable of offering the right directions.
Too much talent here to be this embarrassing, especially during the stretch run at the end of the year.....I flush things down my toilet that smell and look better than the Bucks do right now....its almost hilarious how easy it is to predict what's going to happen.

Still love Giannis, but you do see him starting to become more of that “NBA superstar”, type of personality versus the young kid who wants to do anything for the team personality.
The lack of first round picks in the last five years for the Bucks is showing. Need some of those 6 foot 10 lanky fast athletic type of guys that block shots, score 12 points a game and get eight rebounds on the roster. Don’t have them.

This current team is not young and/or athletic enough to match up with most rosters in the NBA.
Our specialists are very good, though. And there should be hope that we go next level in the playoffs when we have Dame, Khris and Giannis together.
Hope is about all we have because this team can just flat out get run out of the arena by most any team in the league. We just are not long or fast.
You would think that Beachamp and AJax could help there, but they are firmly on the bench now.

The worst thing they did was commit all that money and those extra years to Middleton.
Hope everyone remembers that Giannis pushed hard for the Bucks to resign his buddy. I truly appreciate what Giannis has done for the City/State and he really is a once in a generational type talent. However, like other NBA superstars he now has enormous leverage and say in what happens with the organization. Remember he met with (and approved) the hiring of Adrian Griffin before the final decision was made. We all know the reason why Thanasis (and other brother) have been on the Bucks roster. Plenty of smoke on his involvement letting Bud go (which I agreed with at the time). Then of course this past summer he makes statements about waiting to sign an extension because he wanted to make sure the Bucks were "all-in" on looking to win another NBA championship. A few weeks later the Bucks pull off the Lillard trade (which I also thought was a good move).
Just pointing out the fact that Giannis (and other NBA superstars) have their fingerprints all over their team's roster/coaching decisions.

Both Vegas/Desonex pretty much said it all.
But I would add that last nites loss directly
Attributable to missed threes. Don’t think Beaser made ANY, Crowder was like 1-5, even Brooke no where close to usual %. If Beasley makes even 40% they would have won.
Chris is past prime and I totally agree that was wasted $. Another poor team tonite. If they now lose to Memphis, then stick a fork in em!

They simply cannot play a lineup with both Khris and Lopez on the floor at the same time. They become way too slow. Even with just Khris in, teams are fast breaking after made baskets and getting easy/early looks.
I've now written this team off. They are not very good. They lack young, athletic talent to keep up with other NBA rosters. The worst thing they did was commit all that money and those extra years to Middleton.

Just when you think this team turned the corner, they get a humiliating loss, followed by an even more humiliating loss...then a win against a weak team missing their only star (even though the previous two humiliating losses both came without their #1).....then tonight...possibly the most humiliating loss yet...game was controlled by the wizards from start to finish...they had no answers for one of the worst teams in the NBA...just when you think you hit rock bottom, you hit a deeper rock getting embarrassed by a team that could only muster 14 wins on the entire season before tonight.
One thing is becoming crystal clear....forget Middleton, forget Giannis....this team has proven it can win with either of these two on the bench, but they apparently have NO CHANCE TO BEAT ANYONE without Lillard without getting absolutely lucky...1-7 without him...he's clearly the key to this team's success. He plays and shoots 50% and nothing else matters, this team's nearly unbeatable.
