Been living here for 25 years and this is the 1st Bucks game on ota by a local station. I had to look twice.

The Suns started doing this last season. Games on local TV plus their own streaming service. Looks like the Bucks are testing things out for when their Bally's deal is over (I think after this season but not positive).

This is going to be on CBS in Milwaukee....really weird

Same company owns 41 and 58. The other 9 games will be on 41 but not 58.

Ch 58 cbs is on Channel 5 in Spectrum. Would anyone know ch 41 is on which Spectrum channel?

Thanks!

Danilo Gallinari practices for first time with Bucks

The team welcomed in their newest addition, too, in 35-year-old forward Danilo Gallinari. He was officially signed late Wednesday night and practiced with the team on Thursday.

“The way that I play, I’m a very versatile type of player so I can play in any system, with any player, so looking at the bigs that we got I think that I fit. That was one of the reasons why I chose this team is because I think that I can fit in very well. Very excited.”

Gallinari, who was waived by Detroit on Feb. 8, entertained offers from other contenders but settled on the Bucks due to his relationship with Rivers. Gallinari played 89 games for Rivers with the Los Angeles Clippers from 2017-19, averaging 18.7 points per game while shooting 40.8% from behind the three-point line.

“I’ve worked with a lot of people that are working in this franchise and I believe in the stuff that we can do with this team,” Gallinari said. “Of course, after talking with Doc – I worked with Doc for two years in L.A. so I know him very well – so I really believe in this group.”

But after a solid season in Oklahoma City in 2019-20 (18.7 points per game, 40.5% three-point shooting), Gallinari has played 149 of a possible 286 games over the last four years. He missed the entire 2022-23 season after tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament, which was the second time he ruptured that ACL (2013-14).

In 32 games in Washington and Detroit this season, Gallinari played 15 minutes per game. He is hoping for a more expansive role with the Bucks over the final 26 games of the regular season. Rivers said he has not spoken to Gallinari yet about his minutes, and for his part the veteran forward said he’s not concerned with what those could be.

“I mean, I definitely could’ve played more than those minutes but here I’m just here to help, whatever needs to be done on the court,” Gallinari said. “I don’t care about playing every night, not playing one night, play the other night, I’m here to help. So whatever needs to be done I’m here to do and help. I’m not looking for guaranteed minutes or this kind of stuff. I’m just here to help.”

In 48 career playoff games he’s shot 34.1% from behind the three-point line. He was a member of the 2021 Atlanta Hawks, which lost to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Gallinari has battled a variety of injuries throughout the 14 seasons he has played, but he is a career 38.2% three-point shooter and has averaged 15.2 points per game. The Bucks are his eighth team. He is not considered a strong defender at this stage in his career, but the Bucks hope his shooting and passing can help open more offensive options in the halfcourt.

“He was great, it was an easy of a fit as you could have,” Rivers said. “With the second group with Bobby (Portis) and him it’s a five and a four, that’s pretty good. Pretty big, great shooting, knows how to play, so he’s going to be a really good fit for us.”

He played 15mpg on the worst teams in the league and he is hoping for a more expansive role here?

Why would tanking teams give a 35 year old minutes over their young guys that they want to develop? Are you saying that you wouldn’t give Gallo minutes over Pat? With no Middleton he should be getting 20+ mpg

Pat really isn’t an NBA player any more, there’s no doubt Gallo is better.

Sounds like Pat/Gallo/Bobby though reading Doc's comment on the latter two being complimentary 4/5.

[Ron Swanson]

Excited to see how the Bev/Green/Pat/Crowder/Gallo bench lineups look. Terrified at the thought of all the Gallo/Bobby frontcourt lineups, which Doc seems to be indicating are gonna be a thing....

At least our staff isn't throwing numbing agents on it & pulling out all stops to throw him to the Wolves. Like Pat Bev described the way Philly did Joel.

Bucks staff from the outside seems very preventative based. Giannis had to supercede them in instances like 2021 Finals & demand to play.

Excited to see how the Bev/Green/Pat/Crowder/Gallo bench lineups look. Terrified at the thought of all the Gallo/Bobby frontcourt lineups, which Doc seems to be indicating are gonna be a thing....

Pretty sure playing those two together gets lit the f up. But Maybe Bev can get BP playing right. That's the best outcome. Bev telling Bobby how it is & he responds with improvement.

Does anyone know if the Green Bay CBS will be airing the game or just Milwaukee? Go figure I keep Bally's and still get screwed lol

[BigO]

I like the Gali signing, but the key to any championship hopes is Middleton. A healthy and productive Middleton means the Bucks have a good shot at winning. No Middleton and there is no chance at all.

“We are thrilled to offer the Bucks fans in Green Bay, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau, and nearby areas the chance to watch these ten games for free. This is a fantastic opportunity for Gray stations WBAY/WBAY 365 in Green Bay, WYOW/WSAW in Wausau, and WEAU/WECX in Eau Claire-La Crosse to provide complete access to these Bucks games, regardless of how you watch TV,” said Matt Moran, senior managing vice president for Gray Television.
