I might be wrong, but I think it would be cool to win this one

Mostly mellow about the losses so far, but this would be a very bad one. So go win it!

The losses suck but you almost have to look at these games with Doc before the all star break as preseason games.

Doc is figuring stuff out and seeing what is going to work and what is not going to work. Last night felt like Doc wanted to test what would happen if he ran plays for Beasley, Doc tired it and now he knows not to do that anymore....lol.

After the all-star break I think Doc will get more serious about trying to ramp things up. For us, the first game after the all-star break will be like opening night of a new regular season.

And when you have Giannis & Dame, seeding is pretty much irrelevant. If Giannis & Dame are both healthy and they both show up in April and May, it won't really matter who you play or where you play.

The big problem with that is, will the real Dame ever show up in Milwaukee? Dame is doing an awesome Monta Ellis impersonation thus far as a Buck, but it's not going to get us past the 2nd round if it continues.

Blowout win here and a convincing win against Denver on Monday would certainly drag me back to team optimist lol.

Pretty funny to read how much Grant Williams was disliked in Dallas and how much they wanted out of that contract. Much appreciation to the Hornets for beating the Bucks offer. Bullet dodged.

On Gil's Arena yesterday, they mentioned that Dame is still going through some (off the court) stuff. Ugh. Hope that gets sorted out.

This will be a win. I'm more interested in how they play and if that will then translate into at least a split with Denver and Miami next week.

Well i thought that the Portland game would be a win, so i'm not counting on anything at the moment with this team.

Think the Pat Bev effect will be felt immediately

Has Khris finished his consultations with Lt. Dan, er gotten the MRI results?

rilamann · Post #35 » by **rilamann** » Fri Feb 9, 2024 10:54 pm

Khris Middleton: Gets MRI on sprained ankle.

Results: Needs elbow surgery. Will be out 8-12 weeks. Will be on minutes restriction for 3 more years.

Bucks fans: Still think that Khris Middleton will return to 2021 form by 2027.

I am so stoked to see Pat Bev play his first game with the Bucks! We're short handed and we need him. Hope they make him a starter permanently.

I'm just assuming L's for the rest of the season. The retool in the offseason is what I'm looking forward to. It would be hilarious if Giannis asks for a trade and leaves us stuck with Dame. Yep. That would be soooo funny.

My favorite ongoing bit is the people who have been saying Khris sucks for like 5 years running. Keep going, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, you're almost there. Just another couple years and you might finally be right.
