Stephen A. explains why a 1st round playoff exit is ‘entirely possible’ for the Bucks 👀 | First Take 

They got Doc Rivers, so.....its not only "Possible" its *Probable* 😬😩

Giannis better not get mad at reporters for asking if their season was a failure 😂

People saying bucks were missing players yesterday, but the grizzlies were missing their entire team except for JJJ. Lolz

Milwaukee should’ve just minded their business & let Miami get Dame!

First round exit with Dame and Giannis , would be a colossal failure

Mike d’antoni and doc rivers got the diddy files on Adam silver.. they’ll always have a job in this league if they want 😂

The Bucks losing in the first round two years in a Row would be tough 😬

Shouldn’t have fired Bud. Yes I understand that he was a major reason they lost to Miami last year, but just cuz he coached one bad series doesn’t mean he should have been fired

the equipment manager needs to up his game

Giving up jrue was like Kansas City giving up Chris jones

Monica brings nothing to these arguments

Remember when the Dame and Giannis PNR was going to be unstoppable supposedly?

Doc refusing to player younger guys who would defensively is a bad decision, Lopez and Pat C are unplayable against smaller/younger teams they are too slow.

How do you question the suns defense but not the lakers when the suns are rated higher on Defense and they give up less points per game 🤦🏾‍♂️

So stupid trading Holiday. It was obvious he was gonna go to a contender, so they might as well have traded him to the Celtics. They gave an extremely valuable piece to a rival and contender. Its cool though. As a Celtic fan, i thank them. We appreciate it.

When it comes to the Bucks, I really do miss Budhenhozer. It’s really sad he had to go due to personal issues.

I haven’t heard anyone say what really happened to the bucks.. greek freak flexed his muscle in the “player empowerment” area after they lost in the 1st round to a scrappy heat team totally ignoring they dealt with injuries the entire season, mainly he and middleton. He mentioned he may wanna leave so the organization panicked and fire coach bud who led them to a title only a couple years ago then traded holiday to bring in more scoring and star power with dame. I love dame but he’s never been the defensive player that holiday has been not to mention holiday could give you 20+ any given night along with guarding 3 or 4 different positions. These GMs have to stop folding to these star players demands and they may be able to put together a good roster

The Doc Rivers effect

In other news how about those Lakers😂😂

They are missing another defensive presence like what PJ Tucker used to be for them.

The Doc curse is real people

lol yes. Ever since Dame and Doc came on the team they have been very bad. Heat won that trade 😂

Doc Rivers in the locker room after Bucks get a 2-1 lead in the 1st round: "I'm on my knees begging y'all.. please lose the next game."

First round, second round. They’re going home early, either way.

Every day ESPN, talk about the Lakers and Lebron. SMH

the size of windhorst's tie is that suposed to take our attention way from the size of his head?

The bucks fired Mike B after he won a them a championship, & now you got Doc nobody feels bad for them …!!

Stephan A be so loud and so wrong. Monica was correct in saying The lakers ran out of gas. LBJ was tired! They were in games but couldn’t close.

*Windy looking like a Thiccc Pat Riley* 🕵

im not a magic fan but why are they not being mentioned? they are an underrated team and they are 4th seed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trading Jrue and firing the coach, just to end up firing the new coach, was pretty dumb. Buck's ownership are basically making sure that Giannis leaves

It’s always funny to see just how they’re going to try to bring up the lakers In every topic

They messed up and fired their first coach which made so sense 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dont count us out just like 2021 all over again

It’s kinda crazy Allen and Holiday are both great roles players and leading the league in 3pt % Bucks could very well get bounced by the 76ers or the Heat and the Pacers have their number this season so idk

Jrue secretly hoping that they get to face the Bucks, so can see just how much that trade was a bad decision! 💯

their defence sucks - giannis is good but lopez has regressed and they lost jrue and tucker. lillard and beasley as backcourt starters is horrid defensively. dame has regressed too. whether the 7 seed is the pacers, sixers or heat (esp since embiid returned) i see them losing in 6 to any one of them. if they do manage to win, theyre not making it out the 2nd round.

Crazy talk

What I never hear on these sports media are the individual performances of Brook Lopez, Jae Crowder, Pat Connaughton and Malik Beasley. Giannis had a bad game last night but still got 21 pts, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks. The rest of the Bucks' role players other than Bobby Portis just suck, rarely step up when needed, are lazy on defense (Lopez especially) and can inconsistently contribute offensively. Plus Beasley has been shooting bricks since the ASG. This team as it stands in not built to go far in the post-season unless seriously changes happen to the starting five and bench.

The Bucks were pretty much in synch for the first half of the season. They were winning. It’s the whole reason they’re still second right now and not fighting for a play-in game spot under Doc. With Griffin, they would’ve been even better right now.

The way Giannis plays Defensive is crazy weird

I didn't know Leslie Jones was on espn now

Someone doc rivers is still going to have a job 😂😂😂

Im a Minnesota Timberwolves fan, i already see what the media and leuge are trying to do. the refs gonna drag LeBron and lakers to a championship from Play in. So he can say hes the goat. If this really happens ill never watch another game again.

Dame regression before Bron 😮

The lakers network

Watching these videos after watching a mind the game video feels weird. Like I’m playing myself lol

If the Bucks are still paying Bud and AG, they should bring both of them back and give Doc the boot 🥾

Heat, 76ers, PACERS, CELTICS all have the perfect kryptonite for the bucks: ELITE LEVEL perimeter players!

Prob shouldn’t have fired their HC 😅

lol thanks doc 😂

SAS got older 5 years in one week.

Yes

It’s takes time it’s they first year together with a new hand coach

For the Suns, you cant win a chip if you depend on having a star going off every night

As Griffin sits at home collecting the rest of his contract I wonder if he will consult with the bucks on how to improve

Guaranteed 2nd round exit based on their head coach lol

I love how nobody bringing up the fact we the only team to beat Denver in the playoffs last year and got 1 or 2 Ws off them this year. I promise u don’t let us get that 6th seed and miss the play in mark my words 💯

Doc Rivers, the biggest choke artist in the NBA

They have Doc as their coach... thats the issue

Miami begging for a miluwakee series ☠️

Cant wait, bouta bet on the losing team ml when its high and cash, doc rivers so weak at coaching 😭

The Lakers are the 9 seed and are treated like they are the 1st seed. Why does ESPN keep pandering the Lakers when they faced the Wizards and lost by 5 last game??? The Suns are the 6 seed, they have 3 superstars, 3&D guys like Allen and O'Neale, THEY HAVE A BETTER DEFENSE than the Lakers, and they have more signature wins than the Lakers. The Suns beat a fully healthy Nuggets team in Denver without DBook, and recently beat them again in Denver.... they also beat Minnesota, Cleveland and other contenders. I'm disappointed in Austin Rivers selling out to ESPN

They've won some games, but overall, the acquisition of Damian Lillard, has been a disaster for Milwaukee, and so has the Adrian Griffin firing/Doc Rivers hiring. If they'd kept Jrue Holiday, and Mike Budenholzer, they wouldn't be in this mess. It shouldn't take an entire season for a team to jell. That is BS.

Man u cannot loose to the Wizards if you are Milwaukee. Especially if Kooz ain't playing. I'm done with them. Dame is my guy but I've never been a big Giannis fan and my admiration is depleting.

I’ll tell you this I think doc is still an elite coach even with the 3-1 loses but I won’t lie if they get bounced out before a ECF game 7 it’s going to be a major stain on his coaching career cause how many times will cards get stacked in your favor and you not even compete

The RDC team is already on stand-by!!!

Getting either the heat or sixers in round 1 is diabolical

here waiting for not a failed speech from mr giannis, just 3 weeks away.

As a 76ers fan nothing would please me more than sending the coach that wasted 3 years of Embiid's career packing and get him fired. All while at the same time booting the Lillard, who wasn't even voted 2nd by the players for the All star starter (maxey was voted 2nd and has had a way better season), out of the playoffs. (Don't say lillard all star mvp cuz bro was chucking ball hogging like crazy with a tone of minutes meaningless)

Could Stephen A hairline grow back? Could Windy be Ramona Shelbourne?

The Bucks will be fine they still have Giannis and Dame, playoff Middleton and defensive center Lopez. They will make it to the finals. The biggest mistake the Bucks made was firing Budenholzer. They had get rid of Holiday because he’s overrated and underperforms in the playoffs. The Suns have a better chance making it to the playoffs than the Lakers

6:25 LeBron is LeBron, AD is AD, Stephen A is Stephen A, God is God, AI is AI, I am who I am, You know what I mean is you know what I mean, California is California, Curry is Curry, Nobody is Nobody, Luka is Luka, MJ is MJ, Shaq is Shaq, 6839 is 6839, etc.

Ppl acting like they could lose in the 1st rd because they're bad and not because the 76ers are a top contending team that could meet them in the 1st rd. No other 1st rd potential opponents are even challenging the Bucks

When is Giannis gonna get held accountable for not being a leader? He's been making excuses for losing since the last playoffs, and he got coaches fired.

We were done the moment we lost Holiday. But hey, we kept Middleton and his 4 for 17 shooting games. Is it the schemes that have made Lopez disappear this year? This team is tired. The only way they make it to the second round, is if they leave everything they have on the court. Then they’ll either get swept in the second round or lose 4-1 at best.

Wat bucks expect when they hire doc river choke i know first round exit they lucky in second spot bcus coach griffin

I've got a hot take, but I can certainly see even the Celtics blowing it in the 1st round. No team is really safe to make the 2nd round in the East.

They honestly got lucky to win a title. The whole league was injured when they won.

Giannis should've waited to sign that extension.

It’s very possible because dame is super inconsistent when playing alongside giannis and if that’s the case giannis is all they got and you can slow him down if you try hard enough they going out first or second round depending on who they play promise you that

Monica is trying too hard to play it safe. Girl, say what you want 😭

I would normally say this will be the biggest underachieving team in history, but then you look at the current suns squad which is not doing nothing either

Everyone talking about its a fail for Dame...if they cant win...it was a fail when they traded him there...he wanted Miami from the beginning.

Austin rivers in this t shirt and bad camera and Stephen a said nothing?! If it were Perk or Shannon or Swagu he would have clowned their wardrobe for at least 30 seconds 😂. He could've just called in when Monica looking good

My Bratha

It would be difficult for the Bucks to lose in the opening round two straight years.

Giannis bout to ask to be traded 😂

Go Magic

The lakers have one of the easiest remaining schedules while the suns have one of the toughest it’s just that simple lmfao

Errr body talking about the struggle but ain mentioning hi lebron 39 looking like he just came into the league

How the Lakers run out of gas??? not only did we lose the Denver but we were extremely competitive in those four games three of them were really close, But yeah, slight us for only finishing second in the Western Conference playoffs

Seen Doc teams do this before (Clippers). They are purposely tanking to avoid Miami or Philly. Won’t work. Can’t cheat the competition.

I was hoping the 76ers go against the bucks for YEARS!!!

This is ridiculous. LeBron and d wade needed time. Giannis and Dame need time. They need to link in the off season and talk it out. Expecting a championship or something close the vertical first year together is insane

YES, they have a high chance of having an early exit (whether it could be 1st round or 2nd round)... with how Bucks are playing theyre not a championship team... trading for Dame and acquiring overrated coach Doc is a bad move for MIL

NIce Tie Windy

Second seed- They havent been in sync all season....what a buncha BS steven A

Cleaners should start to clean better.

I dont wanna hear that they miss holiday from stephen a when he said the bucks were a title contender simply because they got dame. For as good as dame has been, he may have been a big fish in a small pond. Didnt mean he was gonna win anything on another team. This could be an all time disastrous trade.
