1. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I like the frustration. Needs to let everyone know that he could snap on them if they don't show up.

2. Coach Bud is the #1 reason Giannis has a ring

3. Lets go Greek Freak

4. he is upset with underperfoming mates

5. Last year, I still believe acquiring Dame was the right move, I mean we loss in the 1st round 2 years in a row, a big shake up had to be done. We just messed up by allowing Boston to get Jrue, if he got stuck in Portland, it would've been fine. I just wish we had known we were getting Dame sooner instead of right before training camp. I think if we had known earlier last Summer, we probably would've given Bud one more chance so he can run it with Giannis & Dame. Bud is a pretty bad Playoffs coach, but at least he's great in the regular season.

   Horst put together a great championship roster in 2021, but everything he's done since has been a miss, Divincenzo for Ibaka, Jae Crowder, losing a lot of picks. We're currently the 3rd worst team in the NBA right now, if we do happen to end up in the lottery, we don't even have a 1st round pick in this upcoming draft, so it would be tragic if we don't at least make the Playoffs. Brook, Connaughton, & Marjon should be the highest on the trading block. Brook gets a lot of blocks, but he still has been hurting our defense the past few years, just too slow. Pat has always sucked imo, Idk how why we kept him this long, we should've offered him in the Dame trade instead of Grayson Allen. Marjon doesn't seem to be improving. There's a lot of people who say, "Well, he's not getting quality playing time." Ajax doesn't either, but he does great with the time that he does get, whereas Marjon doesn't. Marjon is just too slow defensively & he doesn't hustle or play well off-ball. To make it in the rotation, you either gotta have a great shot like AJ Green or hustle hard like Ajax, Marjon doesn't do either. There are many times where I go to games, & I see Marjon airballing shots during shootaround. A pro should never airball just in shootaround with no defense, unless if it's a big man or something. Lol

   Aside from these 3 guys, Bobby should be the next highest on the trading block. I personally think Bobby still has something to offer us, but if a good deal comes around, then go for it. Dame & Giannis needs help. The Bucks have bad luck. I feel like even when we do play good defense, teams still hit the shot on us. Nobody fears the Deer anymore. We need more intensity & energy, like what Ajax brings. It's just too bad Ajax can't shoot.

6. In a few words, GIANNIS to the KNICKS

7. I can see he wants out

8. he needs to leave. too many issues to fix in this team. will take too long to fix

9. Come to the Golden State Warriors

10. Giannis and Dame have to play like Shaq and Kobe for them to even have a chance at winning this early in the season is crazy they need a 3rd guy to step up

11. His game is predictable and lame, he became an all time whining baby

12. This team would need to get rid of Bobby, Pat and Brook if they wanna compete for a title. Unfortunately none of these guys have any value which is why they are still on the team. Especially Bobby HAS to get traded. The teams is so much better when he‘s not on the court, it‘s insane

13. Same guy who nonchalantly takes an inbound pass, causing a turnover leading to points! Same guy who gets throughly outplayed by Towns! Same guy whose whole game is about getting fouled but can't make a free throw! Please trade him now ,while you can get value 🙏 PLEASE!!!

14. You see what Jokic is doing for Denver when players are hurting,lifting his team up ! Putting his team on his back like you use to do! Not point fingers in a media interview! You never hear Jokic COMPLAIN, he just DOMINATES!!! Thats why he's the best player in the league!!!! Not even close 😊😊

15. By Khris

16. It's impressive how much he's covering for Doc when you think of the way he ousted Griffin.

17. Firing griffin and hiring doc has to be one of the dumbest moves in nba history.

    Also overreacting to a single playoff series vs the heat when the undermanned bucks got lit up by jimmy butler is not what a stable organization does.

    Jrue getting shipped out as a scapegoat for getting lit up by a much bigger Jimmy butler is just malpractice. Sounds like a shiEtty place to work as if Milwaukee didn’t suck enough.

18. Giannis ready to go lol

19. On paper, this team is talented. They aren’t executing and that is the frustrating part.

20. Other than dame and Gianni’s the roster is pathetic

21. Just sad…only Giannis and Dame scored in double digits…that's not good at all. Teams are crushing the bucks on the 3pt line. As much as I love this team, it's getting hard to watch…thank God I can swim. Cause this ship is definitely sinking…

22. When you have Doc & Darvin as your coaches you have no shot of being successful. Two boneheaded men who can’t convert to winning

23. We should’ve kept Bev. He was more of a PG, who played defense and he definitely would’ve kept the energy and intensity up

24. He wants to win, he's a winner, but he also created this product on the floor with Doc at the helm.

25. It is his old fault when he made very cryptic statements about the franchise needing to do something if he's going to be around long-term. The franchise traded for James harden light and got rid of two players that would be way better the Damian Lillard

26. I never see LeBron backstab his teammates. This is why Giannis can never become the GOAT.

27. I need more anger and passion out of everyone

28. Yall heard Giannis. He basically said it's on the players and not Doc since these bucks fans wanna blame Doc for every loss and not credit him after every win

29. I wonder if Giannis has started looking at properties in Miami.

30. Yooooo he is definitely ain’t down with the bucks anymore I can just hear it when he spoke ya in trouble I can’t wait to get that lottery pick from ya it’s Nets World 🌎 or Die

31. For my opinion if Giannis and Dame only can scored more than 20s and the rest less than 10 then they cannot win per game . Giannis and Dame needs more help player like Kris Middleton. The two additions cannot help like Prince and Trent. And some others guys. Lopez and Pat the two experienced cannot helped. That’s for me the main problem.

32. KAT COOKED lopez 😂😂

33. Giannis you may be tired, but we know you deserve everything !💪🙏

34. CARE!

35. Giannis is acting like a leader should. You think us fans are frustrated? This is his job. His career. His legacy. Whoever was acting a fool during the interview, yeah he told you to GTFOH. Giannis is frustrated not at losing, but at not competing. To him getting beat by 30 is an embarrassment. And it happening because of a lack of effort frustrates the hell out of him.

    Asked what he sees out there, he said it himself. Guys aren't moving. They are standing around. That's not how you create space. They keep waiting for Dame or Giannis to just make magic happen and stand around. That's not team ball. You need to have off ball movement, you need to be doing back cuts, etc. You can't just keep waiting for Dame or Giannis to make it happen.

    I like the attitude. That's leadership. Let the team know this is unacceptable. We cannot go out here nightly and get embarrassed, and if we do this again on Sunday boston also beats us by 30. That's Giannis words.

    This is just what he's saying to the media. You can imagine what he's saying to the actual team. This level of performance in Giannis mind is unacceptable.

    I bet a fire will be lit under everyone's ass on Sunday.

36. One more thing, start thinking about your identity as a team, and then do your trade, and make changes in the coaching staff, then when the season is over you’ll have a better idea of who to draft, to your puzzle of a future, and man, I hope it’s a team that you’d be excited to watch, fundamentally sound basketball, like in the past championship season, and like in the green and growing years, but also, like the times when the college basketball season is here, to enjoy their games ? Meaning the Badgers, for their grit and fundamentals and playing hard nose defense etc on both sides of the ball, and Marquette, in how how both play hard, and learning how to play disciplined and under control basketball, that’s how we supposed to play bad basketball too.

37. Respect and love to Dame & Giannis 🎉🎉

38. It's always darkest just before the sunrise. Here's hoping for the resurgence of my favorite basketball team.

39. Middleton is pissing me off, goes from starting in camp to starting the season now it indefinitely! Bullcrap! Wish I made millions to sit
