I don't know if that post will be more hilarious in 2 weeks when the Bucks are in Cancun (Dame in Miami).

Or this summer when the Bucks are trying to hype up the regular season/season tickets.

If you're the Bucks at this point, just stop. Everyone is already laughing at us, you're making it worse....lol.

If you check Bev's #s as a starter then you wouldn't want him coming off the bench.. starting lights his fire and he's pushing back a wrist surgery for this

Pat Bev earned the starting spot, and I think you want him in there to hopefully keep the Pacers offense from starting off hot and going nuclear. Frustrate them a bit to start the game and set the tone.

[GoldenAntlers]

I definitely want Bev starting, but also like him in lineups with Bobby.

Speaking of which, who is starting in place of Giannis? Bobby?

Let’s go boys. I am here for my first Bucks playoff game and second game ever in Milwaukee! Have had a lovely weekend. We can’t let the team ruin it

Realgm watch party at Rilaman's, should be a lot of fun.

Why put next season in jeopardy by putting Giannis out there in a series that you're not going to win regardless if he plays or not.

lol what

Probably Crowder, which likely leads to having to watch Danilo play.

Smooth brain logic. Pay it no mind

Portis should be starting with Pat Bev and play a lot!

Think Portis needs to start and play with Brook as much as possible

[KendallMarshall]

Home teams seem to be doing well so far. I don't think a road team has won yet in the playoffs so far.

It's possible that happens but then the bench energy will really low unless Pat turns into a different player. Hopefully playing at home will definitely help the bench.

Historically, since being contenders, we've come out slow in game 1 then generally responded well. Does that change with Dame and Doc?

[Wooderson]

Doc just said Giannis is out tonight

[steger_3434]

Doc just said Giannis is out tonight

But I was told by countless posters that he’s a Wolverine and not a chance he’d miss the game.

This isn’t surprising since he was in a boot just a week ago on the bench

If we win this game I'll be pleasantly surprised. If it's at least a good game and everyone stays healthy I'll be happy.

Got this 2023 miami heat win in 5 thing running through my head.Hate it but 2nd year in row n our MVP is hurt come playoff time

That Twitter post is hilariously bad.

You're not only spitting in season ticket holder's faces, but you're also basically admitting that the Bucks didn't show up for 6 months of the regular season, but proclaiming that now suddenly for the playoffs it's going to be different.

The premise isn't necessarily wrong, but to anyone who has paid attention to the Bucks for the past 6 months without homer goggles, it's a really bad look.

I think this season was just a jinx, everything the Bucks did over the past 12 months has been a disaster that has blown up in their faces, even the Twitter posts apparently....lol.

And for the record I am not a fan of trying to bring Giannis back in this series, just shut him down. Why put next season in jeopardy by putting Giannis out there in a series that you're not going to win regardless if he plays or not.

I'll do the lord of pessimism one better. You put Giannis in but only if/when he's cleared by the medical staff because Dame likely bolts before next season if we get bounced early in the playoffs. I don't want to believe he'd bail on us, but the way this season has gone...
And this may be our last hurrah.

What refs exactly does this board like cause it seems like when bucks lose refs are to blame n when bucks win refs were great.Never seen a board more in tune with bad refs before the game is played a already built in excuse if they lose i guess

We consistently don't like Tony Brothers or Tyler Ford because they are terrible/paid. It's been at least a decade of proof.

Yup. Those 2 are bad. It doesn't mean they always call against the Bucks, it means they get calls wrong and love the spotlight. Zach Zarba is pretty good. Ed Malloy, James Williams, Brian Forte are usually good.

36 officials were selected for the playoffs. The most playoff game experience:

Scott Foster (241), Marc Davis (189), Tony Brothers (187), James Capers (178), Zach Zarba (146), Bill Kennedy (139), Ed Malloy (136) and John Goble (125).

No Brothers tonight but we did get Ford. Zarba is the crew chief.
