How many times do we need to explain to people that letting Khris walk wouldn't have given the Bucks any cap room last summer (would have given them the option of the MLE at least, but give me Khris at $30m per year over that any day)

Accusing Middleton of intentionally not playing to collect checks because he's lazy is an unhinged take. Posters saying that should be mocked and shunned.

Especially cuz he misses out on a couple of mil for not meeting the games played bonus in his contract. I don't buy it...he didn't force KD to stick his foot out.

Khris is a Bucks legend for life. Show some respect please. Dealing with all these injuries is terrible for a player. It's frustrating for all of us. Lets hope he's progressing.

The Khris hate is completely off the rails right now. He’s not some washed up pussy stealing the Bucks money, that’s **** insane.

I believe Khris needs to play all of the 19 games after this one to receive a $1.5 million bonus. I'm not positive on that though.

Didn't he have a pretty bad ankle sprain that was entirely not his fault?

Whoa whoa whoa, you can't just bring logic and reason into a discussion with steger.

Warriors favored by 4.5. Giannis expected to be out

They only get to see him once a year now and on a new team.


I was at the heat game when I was with family in Miami early Dec, and there were various dame jerseys everywhere.

And even heat fans were excited to see Dame, they were rooting for Miami but got excited every time Dame had the ball.

Dame's game is also very attractive to the NBA general fans now. They love the 30ft bombers.

He's also from LA, so I can see Dame thriving on this trip.

The team playing for Dame and clamping in D.

Very possible Dame lifts the team to a score of say... 120. And the newly infused pressure defense keeps warriors barely over 100,maybe just... 104.

He probably does have fans there but he's from Oakland.

Or, you know, he's just injured and will be back when he's healthy enough to play.


Had heard on tv that after two practices, the swelling had not returned. Perhaps the swelling is coming back now. And so the bucks have no choice but to rest him.

Yes, Durant did not permit Kris to have a safe landing area. Kris stepped on his feet. Hurt his ankle. Durant got a measly flagrant one. Very unfair.

I agree with you guys on this 1. As much as I hope he stops ball handling down the stretch of games, I think he does want to be in there playing still -- especially with all the talent we have and the chance to get another ring.

He's still a good guy, it's not his fault that the CBA's rules kinda forced us to offer that contract. If he follows the Doc/Bev/Dame system we are going to be wiping the floor with people --- let Dame, KM, Jae, Beas, etc get hot on the same day from 3... we might break a single game scoring record. I'd love to see some playoff opponent have some crazy scheme to wall Giannis and Dame somehow and KM just go for some ridiculous 50 burger... he still has that in him.. he's still a killer -- just dribble less through traffic please

Oops. I had a brain fart, Oakland. Which is what inspired me to mention it in the Warriors thread. :lol: :oops:

Draymond has Bobby in one of his patented sleeper holds and out of nowhere, coach Bud comes running out of the tunnel and starts whaling on Draymond, freeing Bobby from the sleeper hold. Bobby and both Pats then take turns on Draymond as Bud chases a fleeing Steve Kerr back to the locker room. We never see Bud Again.

No Giannis, no Middleton and the warriors just got humiliated so you know they'll be focused. Bucks the opposite after riding high off the Clippers win.

Think I'm going big on warriors -4.5

This sounds like a comedy sketch watch name. I feel like Supreme wrote this in a season of Chamberlain Heights somewhere.
