Team should be super careful with injuries right now. Even if we rest guys the East is banged up bad, worst case we drop to 4th or 5th. Don't care about seeding either, Boston and the Finals will have the home advantage no matter what, just avoid Miami round 1 that's it.

Yup, again, I really don't care about seeding besides being top 4. I think if we're smart we can rest guys when we need and still be fine. That said, I'm not concerned about Giannis. It's a rest day.

The Bucks seem to be in prime position for the second or third seed. Not long ago, Cleveland, Philly, New York and Indiana were all looking strong, and with Miami and Orlando the East playoffs looked very difficult. Then Embiid and many Knicks got injured, Halliburton got banged up and hasn't been the same, Cleveland's schedule got tougher, while Milwaukee finally started playing well.
Things do change fast though. The Bucks do have the second hardest remaining schedule with six games still against contenders, and only a couple left vs absolute dregs.
The Suns schedule going forward is really tough. They have ten games left against genuine contenders (Boston, OKC, Denver, Minn, LAC, Milwaukee). They're the team with the hardest schedule left.

Not expecting a shootout. Gonna go 110-94.

Don't need all these points and superfluous activity obscurin' a final resolution.

I encourage everyone to listen to Rivers press conference from yesterday on bucks.com.
You will rarely here a coach lay out why he is playing certain defenses. He acknowledges the Bucks don't have much quickness, which means certain types of schemes are out. It also means the Bucks have to play more physical, which they have been doing.
It doesn't mean Doc is a great coach, but Bud was one of the worst I've seen in communicating anything.

Yeah no, Bud was sometimes less than lucid. We'll see how Doc manages things as they start to get interesting, but he certainly wins the public speaking derby. Must be that Marquette education.

A lot of people aren't up-to-date on the Bucks. Still seeing a lot of "their defense sucks" comments. I like it that way.

I really hope we can win this relatively easy, but I'll take even a one point win in the buzzer. Clippers really struggled in their match yesterday shooting the ball sans Leonard and Powell. With our luck, I'm expecting them to shoot lights out today against us.

We can take a loss here, but we need to look like a team that top teams should be afraid of. This is a good game for putting that emotion out there.

Definitely. Clippers are good but we're home and they're on a B2B. Have to take care of business before hitting the road. Hopefully Giannis is good to go.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I'd like to avoid the mile high home court advantage for Denver. For the rest I don't care much about homecourt. As long as KD's shoe is big enough.

The Los Angeles Clippers organization is the colloquial offspring in this case. Initially, I thought the game was in Los Angeles. Doc Rivers has already vanquished the Sixers and I envision tonight's contest a furtherance of his tour to exact revenge on his ex-employers. However, it is the Clips visiting tonight.
Look, I wanted to use a Western trope. Once I had momentum, I was loathe to abandon the post.

Oh, I understood the literary device the great chones was using, the .imo prose, of course.
I just had to use this opportunity to post confused Austin Rivers.
