The energy in the arena tonight was unbelievable, was crazy.

And it feels good.

You know, we're happy that we're able to come to see it and Milwaukee.

We're happy that we are going to the third round and we're happy that, you know,

the people are into it.

I don't think I've ever seen people in Milwaukee be so excited about basketball.

That's it.

It's official.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been eliminated.

Welcome back to the Ike Bucks podcast.

This is devastating.

The Boston Celtics have just wiped out the Bucks,

four, three, in the seven games series.

But the thing that even makes it hurt more is that they did it by 28 points. This really wasn't a close one. The Malky Bucks could not manage to score more than 81 points. There's so much to say. The season ended prematurely. There are question marks all over the place. And we just want to come on here to give you guys and girls an immediate reaction pod. I'm joined day by my co-host Alex. Alex, initial thoughts on the bucks being eliminated. I'm extremely disappointed. This team was poised to go back to back. And the fact that they aren't, that they are out because, you know, the Boston Celtics, the team you don't want to see advance and beat you, it's just devastating. You feel like you were, you know, you got your heart ripped out of you. And Bucks fans, we're right there with you. They want to thank you for tuning in. We are giving away a Janus jersey, so make sure you enter that, get some, you know, solace in this loss. but it hurts, Cage, and, you know, I can't wait to, you know, dive into it because there's a lot to break down. And, you know, we have to hold people accountable. Bucks fans, I just can't believe it. You know, it's like Alex said, the Bucks were poised to repeat this year. Everything was going their way. I mean, immediately the question that that I look back at to is like the Bucks deferring home court advantage. You know, they may have won the championship in 2021 as a three seed, but it's like they almost acted like seating didn't matter. And in this final game in which they were just trounced by Boston, you know, seating did matter. You know, how would things have been different if game seven was at your home court? You know, the Bucks, they had this series in their grasp. They had the series in their grasp. They were up three, two, going back to the Fizer Farm. They couldn't get it done. You know, they let the Boston Celtics come out super hot. You know, they ended up letting the Boston Celtics come out hot again this evening. It's just so disappointed, you know, man, I mean, like, Yannis had 25. He couldn't do it all. He had 25, 20 rebounds, nine assists. You know, Drew Holiday, he put up 21 points. He did not play well. He was over 6 and 3. He had 8 assists, 5 rebounds. Okay, maybe he could have played well. He could have played much worse as well.

Brooke Lopez is the only other role player to really show anything.

15 points, 10 rebounds.

Bobby Portis had 10 off the bench.

But then you look at the absolute horror that is Pat Cunnington, putting up two points in 32 minutes, 0 for 5 and 3.

He was a consistent player of the whole series.

For him to no show on the final game was not good.

George Hill has just been the disappointing player. You know, disappointment after disappointment after

disappointment. Zero points again, zero assists again. It's unfathomable why he keeps playing over
