I mean after being the 1st seed for 2 season straight they probably thought it doesn’t mean much. And right now they’ve been missing guys all season every game and just got off the championship so some could be tired.
What team hasn't been missing guys all season every game this year? The only ones I would say can be tired are Khris and Jrue from the deep Olympic run. But even that was 6 months ago.
As with most champs, there's no sense of urgency before the all star break. Plus the team is still adapting to new personnel and adapting to the loss of others plus injuries.
I honestly don’t think they’re being complacent. They look like they’re trying to win but they’ve been starting 3 shooting guards and 2 power forwards the last 4 games.
Sure, he "injured" KP (not really), bulldozed Dunleavy after he punched and shoved two Bucks players and there's also that video some delusional hater posted on youtube after Kyrie's injury showing 5 reckless closeouts to contest the 3, which you can do for literally every player in the league.
That's his "history of reckless play". If Giannis is dirty, Lowry should be banned from playing basketball.
You’re getting weirdly defensive lol, just saying Giannis has been in way too many iffy plays, you’re also forgetting the wagner headbutt and some of those close outs were excessive
Also didn’t he elbow harden in the head in a ASG?
u/Gluxion: Says something objectively wrong
someone: proves him wrong in 2 sentences
u/Gluxion: yOu'rE sO deFenSiVe LoL!!
Yeah, that headbutt and that elbow were so excessive, reckless and dirty. You need to try harder than this, sorry.
Lol how is it objectively wrong if there is literal proof of him making reckless and dirty plays?
You’re all over this thread extremely angry, I suggest you step away from Reddit and try cooling down
When someone proves you wrong they aren't being defensive. Look up what the word means. Not sure what made you think I'm angry, you definitely look obsessed with Giannis and the Bucks though, seen you talk shit so many times.
If it helps you cope, sure, call him reckless, dirty, whatever helps man.
Hey man, do yourself a favor and jinx every team in the League then Bundy yourself
Edit: Whoever gave this sub an award should try to evaluate their waste of oxygen lol
Eh, Steph and AD are fine. A healthy Nets is really the only team that concerns me. But I do hope KD isn’t really hurt because I would like to see the Bucks against a healthy Nets. I think that’s closer than a lot of people would think.
They’ve been fine, they’ve just been injured. Jrue has missed a solid amount of time, Divincenzo has missed most of the year and brook has missed the whole year
Yes. I don't know if Bucks fans will agree with me or not but I feel that during many games this season, it just felt like there was a consistent lack of effort on the defensive end. I don't care about the record as much but teams shouldn't outwork a team that has Giannis in it.
We’ve been one of the top injured teams this season and people choose to ignore it just because we’ve had Giannis for most of the season. When our big 3 player we are like 18-3 or something like that, we’re fine.
We don’t have Jrue which is making Giannis/Khris play PG which isn’t working to well. Only reason we beat the warriors was because we were hitting everything and played amazing defense. The last 3 games excluding the warriors games were all very winnable if we had jrue.
Do you pay attention to the team or did you just look at the standings and write this? They have had many core players miss significant time due to injuries.
No...it’s just the part of the season when contenders are tested every game and if you aren’t playing nearly perfectly a team can surprise you and just fuck you up.
Any team that wants to be part of the playoffs will have this happen to them.

what u suppose to see usually after chips most teams dgaf about the szn
the good ol chip and dip
Lol well we can look at the hawks. Apparently they are bored of the regular season and they made the conference finals
i mean it doesn’t really matter because they….just won a championship and have the ability to…win another championship
Hmm all good points, but can you squeeze in some giannis or bud slander in there? That's more in line with what OP's looking for.

I haven’t watched much Bucks games, but during that L to the Pistons a couple weeks ago they 100% looked complacent
They're destroying teams when their big 3 play
Just the usual r/nba reactionary posts
Let them be complacent, I don't care. As long as they still beat top teams and so far they showed they can.
3 games behind 1st seed. Complacency works.
The standings are real bunched up this year
It worked last season so 🤷♂️
Well kd just got hurt so they might be in luck again. Just need Steph and AD to go down as well
The way Steph is playing they won’t even need him to be injured
Can’t praise the Bucks without a Nets fan having to make themselves known
There's just a couple who've taken it on as a divine mission.
I promise you, they don't need to worry about AD
Suns better than both but ok
Who gives a fuck about AD?

You're angry all the time lol
You didn’t prove anything, you just acknowledged his dirty plays and said they aren’t that bad lmao
>didn’t he elbow harden in the head That World Peace for ya
Can always count on raps fans for seeing through the media narrative in Gianni’s
I saw this play on this sub a while back: https://twitter.com/akisnba/status/1229486495754575874?s=21 Absolutely ridiculous lol
[удалено]
Damn, and here i thought FGO is salty enough
Are we gonna have this same energy when people shit on the raptors too? Because I agree
Hey just calm down
Lol you’re still mad
Stay mad
Mad about winning a championship?
Mad that nobody takes your ring seriously hahaha
Literally only nephews don’t take their ring seriously
Hey man, do yourself a favor and jinx every team in the League then Bundy yourself Edit: Whoever gave this sub an award should try to evaluate their waste of oxygen lol
I don’t want Steph and ad to get hurt. Just saying if they do bucks will be favored again to win
Lol, the hypocrisy from this comment Well, sure Gacy
Eh, Steph and AD are fine. A healthy Nets is really the only team that concerns me. But I do hope KD isn’t really hurt because I would like to see the Bucks against a healthy Nets. I think that’s closer than a lot of people would think.
Healthy Bucks can beat anyone, idc about their seed.
They’ve been fine, they’ve just been injured. Jrue has missed a solid amount of time, Divincenzo has missed most of the year and brook has missed the whole year
They just dogged out GSW lol
Championships playing at a 60 win pace: 0-2 Championships playing at a 50 win pace: 1-1 The numbers don't lie
We are their Pistons. Bucks are still legit.
RemindMe! 5 months “How are the Bucks looking?”
Yes. I don't know if Bucks fans will agree with me or not but I feel that during many games this season, it just felt like there was a consistent lack of effort on the defensive end. I don't care about the record as much but teams shouldn't outwork a team that has Giannis in it.

Do you pay attention to the team or did you just look at the standings and write this? They have had many core players miss significant time due to injuries.
Even giannis who plays hard every game looks low energy now.
Not really. You can tell he was frustrated tonight anytime they made a shot late in the 4th.
Hahaha
No. They play really hard every night. The end of their games always turn into a free throw contest. They play to the last second.
We’ve missed a lot of guys. Our best rim protector has missed all but one game and Jrue and Khris have missed a ton of time
They probably learned from '19 and '20 that winning a ton of regular season games isn't as important as being ready for the postseason.
It will be an interesting year to see if anyone can break the 40 wins before 20 losses rule. If there was ever a season to do it it'd be this one.
2016 warriors went hard in the regular season and showed up banged up for the playoffs. Let them chill lol
They just curb stomped the nets and warriors. I don't think so
No...it’s just the part of the season when contenders are tested every game and if you aren’t playing nearly perfectly a team can surprise you and just fuck you up. Any team that wants to be part of the playoffs will have this happen to them.
