    I know Boston has a huge coaching advantage, home court, and their defense is even better without Kyrie, but this is a series Giannis and the Bucks should be able to take

    Jabari’s 1st playoff series has not gone well, and he’s heading into free agency...I see the Bucks moving on from him

    This reminds me of Celts/Wizards last year, where if you switched Brad Stevens and Scott Brooks, Wizards would have won 4-0 or 4-1.

    Parker will probably have to sign short term somewhere and try to use next season to increase his market value.

    I'm probably wrong but i can see some teams like Dallas, Knicks, Kings throwing a pretty good contract to Parker, not a max obviously, but something between 15/20M per year...maybe with a team option for the third or fourth year...i don't know, again, i'm probably wrong but i wouldn't be shocked if that happens.

    On a side note, i wonder what do you guys think about taking a flyer on Parker if the Bucks are ok in letting him go and if we can't get a star...? Do you think he would be a good bet for us?

    Didnt the Bucks tank to face Boston? That was a mistake. Bucks are garbage.

    Should the Bucks be this bad with the amount of talent on their roster? If I was looking at the depth chart of Boston and Bucks side by side, I would pick the Bucks every time.

    I wonder if the Bucks can be great with better coaching.

    The Bucks lost Delly for the last 40+ games of the season and Brogdon for the final 30. Both guys are still rusty. They relied on guys like Jet Terry and DeAndre Liggins to play consistent minutes. Their coaching situation is also sorry.

    bucks aren't that talented outside of middleton and giannis, and maybe brogdon. bledsoe has been washed the whole year, he's getting by on rep. snell is trash, henson is low IQ, bari has been food since his injury, delly also got hurt.

    boston is more talented, the coaching is the main difference in the series. switch the coaches and celtics are losing by 25+ every night instead of winning.

    Great play drawn up by Brad Stevens at the end of the quarter. :p

    Seriously, I like that he had 5 TOs remaining and used one of them to at least try running a play.

    You say Bucks aren't talented, but this is the same team (without Bledsoe) that was giving problems to a prime GSW team a couple years ago.

    yeah cause MCW would become MJ against curry every game. bari was also healthy at the time. monroe was also eating against draymond, they don't have a post threat anymore. they also had a diff philosophy back then and GS was a matchup thing. bucks could switch. they don't do that now.

    the bucks are not a talented team, i've watched them way too much this season to say that.

    regardless of whether they're talented or not hardly matters, as coaching is the main reason for their disappointment this year. the fit is terrible around giannis though. you can't have bledsoe as the point guard with giannis unless you have a volume shooter at the 2, which snell is not.

    The Bucks are underachieving. They have all that length and athleticism yet are below average defensively? How?

    How do u give up 90 points after 3 quarters to this Boston team in a playoff game? Giannis is easily the best player in this series. If I were a Bucks fan, I’d be very disappointed if we lost this series. This is one they should be able to win.

    get a better coach in there and they should take off

    Not sure what to think about the Bucks, outside of the coaching issue i just think they don't have enough shooting, passing, iq...let's say the right mix of players.

    Giannis, Middleton and Brogdon are the guys they should keep imo, the rest is pretty much trash or guys that don't fit and/or are not worth the money they're going to ask/get.

    Bledsoe is basically a poor man Westbrook, overrated defender cause "he plays with energy", low iq, can't playmake, not a consistent shooter...i just don't see him as a good fit with Giannis, someone like Beverley but also Brogdon himself would probably be better for them. Henson is a decent bench center, Parker basically plays in Giannis spot...they also used too much money on mediocre bench players, pretty much 10M per year on Delly, Henson, Snell...that's basically a third of their cap filled by these guys, half if you consider Bledsoe and the stretched contract of Teletovic.

    Terry is playing too well. He is playing his way out of Boston. You know Celtics are just going to flip him for a real star.
