“Malik Beasley has agreed to a 2 year, 9.5 million dollar deal to return to the Milwaukee Bucks. Beasley, 27, had a breakout season last year as one of the best shooters in the league and will return on a team-friendly deal to assist in the Bucks’ effort to repeat as champions”
Know what? Fuck it. I have genuine optimism for next season. Doc will have an offseason with the team. Dame and Giannis will have a summer to gel, Dame’s kids may get here, there will be a real emergence with Ajax and AJ. This year felt cursed from the start.
boston could win the next 3 championships and i will still point to this game as the prime example why the bucks were totally justified in moving off jrue
this is crazy bc of all the players on the bucks Khris has done the absolute least to warrant any hate from anyone seriously dude just keeps his mouth shut and hoops
#MVPUpdate
Bucks fans either successfully bullied or convinced me. I'll put Giannis Tier 1 but he definitely goes at the bottom, despite, what I'm told, is the greatest stat of all time in "30 per game on 60% plus from the field"
@autisticbuckfan
people seriously think that we’re deluding ourselves when we say the media hates us like no this is what we deal with on a daily basis
Giannis vs. other top 4 MVP candidates

Outscored the other candidate in every game.
went to high school with ashlyn and i can wholeheartedly assure you literally every preconception you have about her from her *checks notes* 5 hour meltdown today is 100% correct. Adjust none of your biases about the kind of person this is. You are right, i promise.
i sincerely apologize to anyone who takes offense in me being a christian, a republican and a trump support.
i really don’t apologize. i was raised correctly 💋💋
Bobby has literally always been capable of playing like this btw. The problem this season was his hero ball and being a midrange merchant. The best version of bobby has always been as floor stretcher and rim finisher. He’s actually doing that now.
@KamitronPTW
Giannis was taken out of the game when he already had his career high, pacers immediately went on a run and brought it to 10 with nearly 3 minutes left and was put back in. Try again.
@ashleyanne1197
like literally how hard is it just to say “a kid i work with said/did this”.
I am a teacher. Kids do funny and noteworthy shit. It is unfathomably easy to protect their identity and privacy. This person is actively going out of their way to share potentially identifying info.
@JoestarJokic
obviously he should’ve trapped max strus at 59 feet. Its those kind of defensive miscues that keeps him from being in the conversation obviously
@InsiderPhilly
@notbuaydubz
being big enough to physically dominate and choosing to play this pathetic ass brand of basketball does make a difference, actually.
The more research i do on the bucks starting defense the more it blows my mind how shit the bench is.
Bucks starters DEFRTG is 107.7. Here is their ranking among all lineups in the NBA by minutes played
500+: 1st
450+: 1st
400+: 1st
350+: 1st
300+: 2nd
250+: 4th
Finding out this is this girl’s first career 3 is so funny like imagine DeAndre Jordan hitting a game winning 3 from the top of the key that’s what this is
@alexengel12
A fair point. AG enabling Bobby’s hero ball is obviously a possibility but it still happened. Just trying to acknowledge the reality of what we saw. Not a fan of this whole holier than thou “i never doubted him” mindset. We have eyes.
@KendrickPerkins
Kendrick i’m actually asking did you watch games 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this series? In what world does any conversation about Khris Middleton need to be had other than “is he the most underrated player in basketball”
@Umbra_Tet
@thominyourside
you did not say it sucks. You said it makes no sense, which, like it or not, is the exact point of that style of comedy. I Apologize for taking your words at face value.
@Umbra_Tet
@thominyourside
idk man i feel like explaining something to someone who is outwardly expressing they don’t understand it is a pretty normal thing to do
@MikeAdxx
Maybe it’s just me but i’d rather have the hater narrative of my guy be “his team is stacked” than “he’s literally the biggest playoff choker of his generation”
@SwooshSzn
non-Bucks fans using a family tragedy as an excuse for him in order to trash the bucks for firing him is vile when there were 4 years of prior evidence to suggest he was simply not a good playoff coach.
sorta doxxing myself but i live about three blocks from mifflin and i quite literally drove an hour out of the city for the day to get away from this stupid bullshit why just why
Damian Lillard has not been that bad on defense this year. The bucks defensive deficiencies are largely a result of them having the worst bench in the league. Bucks starters are literally 1st in Defensive rating among lineups with 500+ minutes.
Call this cope as much as you want idc. It is. Injuries suck and i’m coping with it. You would be too if your team was missing its two best players with their third hobbled in the first round of the postseason. I’m just trying to find upsides and i truly believe there are some.
I think their purpose is just pointing out that if your
#1
option can be 1-14 through 43 minutes of an elimination game and still have the opportunity to close it out because his team kept him afloat through it all then maybe he not literally the MVP of the entire league.
The Jayson Tatum Game 6 screenshots going around are funny because he scored 16 in the fourth quarter to stave off elimination then dropped 51 on 75% TS in a Game 7 win three days later
@BoredBlaby
Nobody actually. Just checked and Middleton has the highest midrange FG% of ANY NBA PLAYER (minimum 150 FGA) since they started tracking (‘96-‘97)
season’s over because we got slightly better, apparently.
unfollow button putting in generational numbers tonight i’m simply convinced half of you don’t like sports
How insanely fucking stupid do you have to be to put the fact that you run a troll twitter account with less than 100k followers as the *first* thing on your linkedin
So let me get this straight, Rudy Gobert gets fined 100k for making the dollar sign at the refs.
Murray does that plus he throws not one but TWO separate things on the court during play and is also fined 100k.
???????
Nick Nurse was universally disliked by the entire raptors roster by the end of his tenure and just played his clearly injured superstar for 30 minutes directly leading to a worse injury and likely making him lose eligibility for MVP and yall still mad at GA for not wanting him
@JoestarJokic
for the record it was probably griffin telling him to play hero ball for 80% of his touches but yeah he’s really turned it around. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t very stinky tho.
@freAK34_MKE
yeah Kenny does a good job actually giving us credit like 3 minutes into the video but the combination of the clickbait thumbnail/title and the fact that it’s the *only video* from ESPN about the bucks is still ridiculous
@JoestarJokic
of all the hills to die on “let men put towels on their head to signify they are playing a female character in a tiktok” is certainly one of them
Dame
Beasley
Middleton
Giannis
Lopez
Has a +16.0 Net Rating through 1137 non-garbage time possessions—3rd best lineup in the NBA (min 500 poss)
MIL has a -9.0 Net Rating in 1527 possessions with Giannis off the court. They’re getting CRUSHED when Giannis sits. The primary issue
@ElectrictYabulo
@AntLulgjuraj
You could look at it in reverse tho: it’s harder to win a super bowl because flukes can happen so much more often. The best team throughout the year has one fluke game and their shot at an SB is gone. Great NBA teams have time and opportunities to adjust mid series.
if you truly don’t think Giannis is an MVP candidate because you believe he had a role in the coaching changes then double down and don’t add him to your fucking graphic.
Adding him and throwing a piss fit because you think bucks fans are “bullying” you is deeply embarassing
