Pacers finish them off. Missing their best player, but they got what they deserved. Nice move changing coaches.
Milwaukee Bucks Eliminated
- Thread starter NYC Pirate
- Start date
It may or may not have been a bad fit but that's terrible all around. Gonna be entertaining if Doc comes back
Why did they fire Mike Budenholzer?
The Bucks aren't beating anybody in a seven-game series without Giannis. Tack on not having Dame for two games and they were toast.
The window looks to be closing on them as their roster is starting to age. Brook Lopez is 36, Danilo Gallinari and Patrick Beverley are 35, Dame and Jae Crowder are 33, Khris Middleton is 32 and Pat Connaughton is 31. Plus Giannis, at age 29, just finished his eleventh year in the league. The only guys under age 30 that averaged 20 minutes a game are Bobby Portis (he's 29) and Malik Beasley (27).
Oh and they're nearly $70 million over the salary cap (which sadly is only the tenth worst number in the league).
Patrick Beverley violently hurls ball at Pacers fans as Bucks get eliminated from playoffs
The Bucks are out of the NBA playoffs — and Patrick Beverley is seemingly not thrilled about it.

Actually really enjoy his podcast, but yeah... kind of an ass last night on a few occasions.
He's always been an antagonist but it seems he took it up a notch during this year's playoffs. It seemed like a lot of stuff went on during this series and he was in the middle of a lot of it.
He's been with four teams the past two seasons, his minutes and production are down and he'll be 36 on opening night next season. On the other hand, he's a relatively cheap option as veteran bench help for a contender.

I don't know why anyone wants Beverley on their team. He's not worth the headache.
There's talent who can be defensive pests while offering little on offense like he does. I don't get how he has made a career in the NBA and actually stayed in rotations. He's not good.
The Bucks fired Griffin and replaced him with Rivers because they wanted to turn around their season. They succeeded.
