Doc Rivers on Bucks being eliminated from playoff contention:
"It's been disappointing, obviously. Since I've been here, I haven't had a healthy stretch and it's been your key guys. It's been Giannis. It's been Dame ... This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two and three. We needed health. We were thin ... All the talk and all that stuff probably didn't help either."

This the greatest this sport has ever seen you not gonna convince me that a Nigha farming wins against Anthony smith and Thiago santos compares to this
I get it it’s fighting and hypotheticals don’t really work but there quite literally isn’t any lightweight that’s ever lived that could beat him imo and it’s the greatest division ever so yeah lol
and this is why ultimately khabib will always have a strong goat case even if his resume seems lacking compared to his peers because all his opponents we now pretend can't stack up are only seen that way AFTER khabib demolished them unlike anyone we've ever seen before or after
I have a backup big who shot 45 percent from 3, can post score with the best of them, is a monster on the glass, an enforcer, a leader, and a fan favorite. All I want is 2 second round picks I am open for business.
if Giannis is traded to Boston watch the same people that been doing the “fit” and injury gimmick say Boston the favs and suddenly remember he’s one of the most dominant players in the sport
You know what’s funny about the “bucks firsts” fandom guys is that a 3 teamer with Boston is a better return for us then the Miami deal but they’d rather take the worse deal cause of bad feelings they have towards the Celtics and they’d be mad at giannis going there lol.
Which I get I don’t like the Celtics either but I’m not taking a worse deal cause of feelings when it comes to trading our franchise goat. Only thing we should care about is maximizing our return and as for giannis himself going there looking at him different for it is dumb too.
Bucks got the Suns in 2021. Boston got Dallas in 2024. Knicks got Spurs in 2026. Somehow. Someway the Miami Heat got the unstoppable and incredibly hot Denver Nuggets when they made it to the finals. Just terrible luck of the draw.
