Game 52: Wolves at Bucks - 2/8/24 - 7:00 - BSWI - Khris Out, Dame Questionable, Brook Back

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Wed Feb 7, 2024 8:40 pm

Bucks return from a long road trip. The initial injury report won't be out until later this afternoon but I expect Khris will miss this one (and Friday night's game against Charlotte too) at a minimum. Brook is expected back. Dame is expected to play but will probably be listed as questionable.

We could be short handed depending on any trades that happen in the next 24 hours.

Wolves have scuffled a bit lately, 5-5 in the last 10, they've relinquished the WC #1 seed to the Clippers. Wolves lost in OT to Chicago Tuesday night. They are healthy.

GO BUCKS.

Excited to see the Wolves this year. Ant is one of my favorite young guys in the league

Same. I hope we field a competitive team.

Crazy that the NBA schedules games ON the trade deadline.

Stupid is probably the more accurate word. Shouldn't be any games on deadline day.

This honestly feels like a game we should just tank and let them all get some rest.

Brook Back Mountain

Wolves will likely have some mid-bench guys out (Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr) as it looks like they are headed to the Pistons, but that won't move the needle in this game.

Leading the rest of the herd would be the smart way to go.

Punt this game into the moon. Get guys healthy and other guys traded.

I'm about here too. Giannis, Brook and a questionably fit Dame is still prob not enough to get it done v the Wolves. Giannis is our crown jewel and we need to be mindful of managing his workload which has been pretty substantial lately.

Any traded players likely wouldn’t be available Friday either. Do you guys really want them to pause the season for two days? Doesn’t happen in other sports either.

Any updates on what happened with Brook? I believe he was listed out for personal reasons.

Based on some social media posts it looked like Brook and his wife had their first child over the weekend.

That's awesome! I was worried that it was...well...something awful.

Dude planned it so he'd be retiring right when the kid becomes interactive. Like I'll be back from the sea when the child stops **** themselves. Quite a move.

Imagine Brook as your dad and Robin as your uncle.

Will Brook get the same shooting bump FVV got for having first kid? Wish they would have waited a few more months.
