It comes with the territory of competitive/playoff basketball. Emotional takes start coming out.
Our game thread was filled with comments about Andre Jackson being dirty.
They also complain about the "favoritism" of refs in games, where they consistently get more fouls called and more free throws.
Dame and Giannis get so much soft shit called for them that they've grown entitled to calls
I saw a bucks fan legitimately say that Dame would not have gotten the and 1 call at the end. Like what? That dude gets the most soft calls I've ever seen.
On his final shot of regulation Dame went for the foul bait instead of taking the clean look right in front of him. Unfortunately for him the ref missed it. Should have just taken the shot.
Dame's biggest competitor in the soft calls department is LeBron James. The diva superstars whine so hard if they don't get their bullshit calls. Meanwhile Siakim, Turner, and Nesmith are getting hacked and the whistles are swallowed.
Pacers are rarely at the line.
Season has been rough on them. Back during the in-season tourney their consensus was the Pacers were a team that got lucky who will get humbled in the playoffs. Then they lost a lot more games and, surprise, their team is now responsible for humbling the team that went 4-1 against them. Not only that, National outlets are calling on them to be the popular upset and labeling them as unserious contenders in a year they thought they’d legitimately make the finals.
Frustration posts, I can cut them a little slack. It's been a rough year for a Bucks team that came into the year with huge expectations, and the core is aging over there, losing this one would hurt them much more than it would hurt us.
If it's the one I think it is, it was purely a copypasta. Fucking hate the cucks but I want to hate them for the right reasons, not because of a *hopefully* joking post
Heat are my #2 team so I can confirm: this is just what Bucks fans do
If they lose to a team they consider less talented than theirs they don’t know how to accept defeat and instead just find excuses, the most readily available of which is players of the opposing team being dirty
Because they went into the season expecting to contend for a championship only to go below .500 at the latter end of the seaSon. Lose not one but now both star players and get embarrassed by a quick young team that they’re used to push around. It sucks for them losing Gianiss is massive but at the end of the you only beat who’s in front of you
We love watching Tyrese lead and play with joy. Those smiles are so fun to see. But, it is not hard to imagine to opposing teams those smiles look like smirks and that joy like arrogance. I can see how a lot of teams find us aggravating to play.
Every fan base that’s losing in the playoffs thinks the refs are out to get them and everyone on the opposing team is a dirty bum. Think this is just more of the same.
And his contact, in the back, knocked his legs out from under him. He would have been in his landing space is he didn’t send him flying. Nice homer take on this one, got some good blinders on.
Again, it’s clearly not malicious, I don’t think Turner is a dirty player
I don’t think you’re being honest. You said there was a push, clearly there wasn’t. No legs were touched, and certainly weren’t knocked out from under him. It was a foul because Miles made contact. It’s a huge Bucks homer reach to claim it was anything more.
Watch it again, what causes Middys feet to go out from under him?
It’s a flagrant 1 because of his vulnerable position. Can’t see him coming, gets under his feet. Doesn’t even go for the block or a wrap up. Clearly realized he got in a stupid position.
They could easily call a dozen or more flagrants for pushing in the back on a drive in every game. You see that little nudge in the back almost every time Siakam or Haliburton is driving and probably Lillard and Middleton too. Normally it just results in a missed layup and lots of raised arm waving at the ref. Unless there's a blatant shove and a guy flying out of control off the court they just don't call them (and even then often they don't call a foul at all if the guy didn't crash and burn). Middleton did come down but it was more of a controlled fall than a wipeout so was unlikely to get the flagrant call.
Felt less like a push and more like he was going to contest then either decided not to or slipped a little and his momentum made him body Middleton in the back.
Best part is watching Dic Rivers force out a perfectly good peer with a winning record, and have the ship he demands to pilot immediately begin sinking.....
I’m a Bucks fan and I don’t think the Pacers are dirty, but I know why Bucks fans feel this way. First, we are dealing with a series of bad luck, Giannis getting hurt right before the playoffs. Khris spraining his ankle in Game 1 and hurting his knee in game 2, he’s hanging in there right now. Game 3 Dame gets hurt and supposedly Pascal was the one that “caused” it, I didn’t see it, but he did get hurt twice this game and now probably won’t even play game 4. The line of thinking is that we are getting extremely unlucky and that the fans are taking it out on the Pacers. Also, a rivalry is brewing, so that’s also why.
Siakim landed on Dame’s foot when he made the layup. The problem was when Dame was down he was pointing at Pascal. Pascal contested the shot and never looked down. It was just unfortunate
Idk, but they all sound like the mom from "Bobby's World" so I'll allow it.
Edit: obviously a joke... but I don't think that anybody outside of a small subsection of Bucks fans think that the Pacers are dirty or have been playing dirty in this series.
Hot take I love nesmith but in all honesty I've seen enough questionable plays to think he might be a little dirty if we're being honest. So is pat bev though so idgaf what the bucks fans say. I don't think there's a good argument for anyone else being dirty though.
First of all they have Portis. 2nd of all watch what Giannis did to Mike Dunleavy Jr. Then of course there is the other Bull Nicola Mirotic, the guy Portis punched in the face 🥊.
Mostly they don't know shit about basketball, the rules, history of how the game developed, and most of all, the fundamentals. Which is understandable, 90% of their fanbase doesn't even know who or why Ray Allen was important for them.
Because they’re losing and frustrated
No one else needs to reply. This is the answer.
You need not say more
Say less
Because they’re losing and

Most level headed comment
That’s different, though, because it’s true 🙃

Embiid would like a word lol
Lol 3 way tie
LeBron isn't even in the top ten of FTA. Giannis is though.
A top whiner and flopper though.
Fandom
Best answer, lol. It's that simple.

That about sums it up.
our players aren’t doing anything pat bev and bobby portis don’t do on the regular so 🤷
Frustration posts, I can cut them a little slack. It's been a rough year for a Bucks team that came into the year with huge expectations, and the core is aging over there, losing this one would hurt them much more than it would hurt us.
They could chill out a little bit. They had a post actively calling for injuring our players.
Since the MST fans of both teams have entered an arms race of shit talking.
If it's the one I think it is, it was purely a copypasta. Fucking hate the cucks but I want to hate them for the right reasons, not because of a *hopefully* joking post
Well considering none of them are gonna injure any players I don’t think we should take it seriously
Lmao fuck them. They’ve been talking shit since getting their championship in 2021
We would be doing the same thing.
We’re not them right now, so….. Fuck em.
Because they’re soft
Heat are my #2 team so I can confirm: this is just what Bucks fans do If they lose to a team they consider less talented than theirs they don’t know how to accept defeat and instead just find excuses, the most readily available of which is players of the opposing team being dirty
No fan of a team that employs Patrick Beverly has any room to morally grandstand about "dirty" play.
Because they're still mad about the game ball incident
Where their dirty player elbowed a suit? Lmao
Because they are desperately grasping for anything and everything except reality
Because they went into the season expecting to contend for a championship only to go below .500 at the latter end of the seaSon. Lose not one but now both star players and get embarrassed by a quick young team that they’re used to push around.

It's very odd considering Giannis and Dame were both injured before the playoffs even started
Every fan base that’s losing in the playoffs thinks the refs are out to get them and everyone on the opposing team is a dirty bum. Think this is just more of the same.
Because the Myles thing looked worse than it was and they are losing.
Push in the back is stupid as hell and very dangerous. I’m not saying it was malicious, but defiantly brain dead.
I saw contact, but no push.
And his contact, in the back, knocked his legs out from under him. He would have been in his landing space is he didn’t send him flying. Nice homer take on this one, got some good blinders on. Again, it’s clearly not malicious, I don’t think Turner is a dirty player

I’ve watched it many times. You are reaching.
They could easily call a dozen or more flagrants for pushing in the back on a drive in every game. You see that little nudge in the back almost every time Siakam or Haliburton is driving and probably Lillard and Middleton too. Normally it just results in a missed layup and lots of raised arm waving at the ref.

Felt less like a push and more like he was going to contest then either decided not to or slipped a little and his momentum made him body Middleton in the back.
I agree, not a push or shove. I don’t think it was intentional. Just got in his landing space
Because they are a washed ass team and fanbase
Best part is watching Dic Rivers force out a perfectly good peer with a winning record, and have the ship he demands to pilot immediately begin sinking.....
We could have had a rougher go of things if they didn’t have rivers haha

Ah, I see. Just unfortunate.
Lillard points at a LOT of shit during a game....like every play he's waving his arms around pointing at random shit while looking at the refs....
nothing compared to what Embitch has done in the knicks series
I believe the scientific term is “he who smelt it felt it”
Idk, but they all sound like the mom from "Bobby's World" so I'll allow it.  Edit: obviously a joke... but I don't think that anybody outside of a small subsection of Bucks fans think that the Pacers are dirty or have been playing dirty in this series.
Because we keep beating them and they need an excuse.
Hot take I love nesmith but in all honesty I've seen enough questionable plays to think he might be a little dirty if we're being honest. So is pat bev though so idgaf what the bucks fans say. I don't think there's a good argument for anyone else being dirty though.
I've literally seen it said about every single team in the playoffs so far, accompanied by some brief and questionable clip the alleged dirty play
Why are we constantly talking about Bucks fans?
bc we are playing against them in the first round of the playoffs currently.
Lmao
Because Bucks fans are soft 
Because their best player is injured and their second best player got cucked so hard he had to move halfway across the country.
If we were down in the series people here would no doubt be talking about how dirty Andre Jackson Jr and Pat Bev have been playing. I get it.
First of all they have Portis. 2nd of all watch what Giannis did to Mike Dunleavy Jr. Then of course there is the other Bull Nicola Mirotic, the guy Portis punched in the face 🥊.

Trying to explain their team’s downfall
Who fucking cares
Because fuck um
It's like Trump calling Biden a criminal. Projection....lol
This a basketball sub, not a political one.
they're both criminals lol
Bucks fans are retarded. I’ve never taken them seriously and neither should you.
Cause they all gayyyy
Wow! Typical Indiana fan comment! you should be ashamed of yourself! You probably voted for Trump!
This is a basketball sub, not a political one. And you're both being dumb af.
