1 more year? 2 more? 3?
Even without Jabari, this was a very winnable series. Turtle, Craterface, and a bunch of bammas beat them thrice in a row. Two on the road. Turtle did absolutely nothing all series.

"The Milwaukee Bucks started the youngest five-person squad in the league with an average starter age of 23.6 years old. That's a group headlined by All Star Giannis Antetokounmpo (22.4 years old), with a pair of rookies -- Malcolm Brogdon (24.3 years old) and Thon Maker (20.1 years old, supposedly). Add in Tony Snell and Khris Middleton (25.4 and 25.6 years old, respectively), and the Bucks have the youngest starting lineup of all playoff teams by 1.7 years.
The Bucks have two of the four youngest players in the NBA Playoffs -- Antetokounmpo and Maker -- and all five Bucks starters are within the 22 youngest starters of the 80 total players who started game one of the playoffs. Every Milwaukee starter is younger than all five starters on San Antonio, Boston, Golden State, Chicago and Los Angeles."

28. "Middleton played like shit,and Kidd's entire game plan is Giannis" In response to Reply # 24
Middleton was trending down the last 3 weeks of the season, but really shit the bed these last 3 games. Can't completely blame him as he wasn't supposed to play as many minutes as he did, but that if he's your number 2, your offense needs help.
And Kidd's non-existent sets didn't help a really young team manage how to manufacture points when shots aren't falling, or you need to stop a run. This should have been where you're teaching them how to do that, and in the future let them figure it out.
I really hope the Clips blow it all up, and the Bucks somehow swing CP3. Make the Bucks at worst the 2 seed in the East and Team Agenda ____________________

29. "Middleton is the poor man's Iso Joe" In response to Reply # 28
for as much as he commands the ball to do anything, he's garbage and doesn't fit with this team at all.
I'm glad you agree Kidd isn't invincible because the team is young. You can't be that wildly inconsistent in 6 games, lose the final 3 badly, and blame it entirely on young players. He was either being lazy, flat out didn't know how to adjust after the game 4 egg, or both.

That's now how it works anymore
You use pick and roll and work on spacing and those things, but "sets?" This isn't mid-major basketball.
Kidd's coaching manifests in player development, lineups and adjustments.
The Bucks got beat by a very experienced, much better basketball team, featuring the second best backcourt in basketball.

After the Dubs, there's maybe one backcourt (Blazers) and the Raptors backcourt is actually better

44. "never said it was Kidd's fault? Was making a point the Raptors can't sh..." In response to Reply # 42
So simply not scoring a ton of points every game doesn't mean the Bucks were playing great D. In spurts they did, but everyone should have seen how often the Bucks were late on rotations and help in the paint if they watched the series. So many complete defensive breakdowns. Kidd takes at least part of that blame, along with part of the blame of not having a half-court offense, along with part of the blame for losing the final 3 games in a row, 2 at home, mostly in blowout fashion. If anyone thinks Toronto is such a superior team that they can just take complete control like that all on their own accord, you're kidding yourself.
39. "Has this post really become hating on a 6 seed for not beating a 3?" In response to Reply # 0
At the beginning of the season this team was barely on anyone's radar. Giannis and Parker got a little shine, and that's it. Hell, earlier this season people were writing them off. Now they aren't for real for not beating the third best team in the conference? Whatever, man.
47. "Vegas Win O/U: Bucks 39, Wolves 41" In response to Reply # 41
Bringing up the "Young" excuse makes sense with the Wolves because they underachieved expectations. They were supposed to make the leap and instead are making another high lotto selection.
The Bucks beat their prediction. Who had them ranked as the 6th seed in the East this season. And they did it with Middleton and Jabari playing like one game together.

Respectively. Yeahhhhhhhhh. Like, I don't even love the Bucks' future as much as a lot of other people do, but this right here is a new level of weird dumbness. I kind of love it. It's agenda posting taken to its nuttiest extreme.
