The problem with khris is that you can pretty much count on him getting hurt. Just no way around it.

Just couldn't get a stop down the stretch. That was the difference.

Giannis’ passing today was really good. He also had a triple double but we still lost.Really frustrating..

Up 6 with 2 minutes left. Couldn't buy a stop the whole game.

Jesus Christ, 80% of the posters on this board have the emotional stability of a 5-year old and only see this team through the lens of extreme recency bias.

Doc decided that while the bucks were winning with under a minute left and playing defense coming out of a timeout that Malik Beasley needed to be on the court.
I understand he's better than Griff, but he's a failure as a coach

Dame should really be more aggressive. We need the superstar we traded for.
Dame's got too big of an ego. He's a hero ball chucker. I can't believe he tried to score on an iso that was drawn up for him.

if Dame pump fakes that it's an easy two free throw win.

Expectations go through the roof when Khris comes back.

If the Bucks get 1 defensive stop on one of the Lakers final 4 possessions, the Bucks win the game.
The fact they couldn't do it against the Lebron-less Lakers, a team that is mediocre even when they have Lebron, is pretty sobering.
Especially when you consider the playoffs are just a tad over a month away.

Not freaking out until playoffs. That was possibly the most frustrating game I’ve ever watched as far as other team hitting timely shots out of their ass.

That had to be a top 5 game of D-lo's life. We definitely choked it away but this **** guy couldn't miss a shot.
I'm tired of piling on Dame so I'm going to mostly leave it alone but he can't come up empty twice in end of game situations if we're going to go anywhere this postseason.

The Lakers really didn't hit shots out of their ass, the Bucks were giving them great looks. Especially down the stretch when the Lakers scored on every possession.
And it might have been the most pathetic effort defensively that I have ever seen in a game winning situation when Dame was guarding D-Lo on the game winning shot.

Now do you see why I was still holding off on the Dame apology the other day.
Dame has to look like the guy we actually traded for, for more than just 2 weeks over a period of 5 months for me to give any sort of apology.

I mean, when have we been good recently though? We’ve had some good wins vs Clips and Wolves but we’ve been the same up and down Jekyll and Hyde team all year. Hardly a team you can see putting it together for four playoff rounds.

This season: Jrue 48% fg, 44% 3 pts
Dame 42% and 35%
Of course Jrue is a far far superior defender than Dame.
Maybe we made a mistake with this trade.

Dame just aint that guy, its pretty obvious the trade was a big mistake unless Dame gets inexplicably hot in the postseason. Pull the plug before the league realizes he’s washed, he’s still a decent scorer right now hopefully that will be enough before we’re stuck with a $50m a season albatross. Cant win with loser no defense guys, doesn’t work.
