Round 1, Game 5: Pacers at Bucks - 4/30/24 - 8:30 - TNT/BSWI

[FrieAaron]

I'll be there with the family. No expectations but 50 dollar lower level tickets for a playoff game and my birthday.

[fan230]

We should try to win. Play hard without Dame and Giannis.

I think we can get enough offense but the defense breakdowns completely cause the team to collapse.

We should try completely different combinations of players to see if anything can stop Pascal Halliburton Miles combo. Play Green more than Malik. Play Ajj of course but also play Thanasis for checking out his defense. Play mjb. Play Jae v little.

We will see what kind of a coach Doc is. Can he get the best out of the talent he has? He has been capable so far but unimaginative about trying new combo of players. If he continues to be unimaginative, that to me should be a signal for the team to think hard in the offseason.

When our stars return, they will be good on offense next season but defense has to improve not marginally but hugely. So try things now Doc and give us some hope for next session.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Welp.

Let's go Bucks.

One of my favorite all time plays. If Giannis back then was as muscular as he is now, Dunleavy never would have survived to become GM of the Warriors. By the way, he appears to be way over his head.

In terms of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks win. Either way, my pre-series prediction of Pacers in 5or 6 appears solid. Hope I'm wrong. Maybe BP, Lopez and KM can all have a good game on the same day.

I remember thinking that this was a necessary step in Giannis' development and it secured my belief in him as Milwaukee's potential star. He had shown flashes in the series as a player, and then competitiveness, humiliation and anger all bound together and were set off like TNT. And he chose the only correct player to target. I'm guessing his teammates were like, "Whoa, didn't see that coming." My friend was a Bull fan watching and he said, "I like that kid but 'cmon, he can't do that." I was like, "He can do it once."

So maybe we get 1-2 more AJJ moments tonight which tell us he is a core piece and shouldn't be packaged with our first for Dillan Brooks.

Dylan Thomas? I thought it was Rodney Dangerfield. Pass the test Bucks!

[ShootingtheJ]

Bobby needs to go off, AJJ needs to play 30 minutes, and Beasley needs to be banished.

Also, Giannis needs to tell the medical staff to piss off like he did for the Finals.

[JayMKE]

Indy has looked beatable, anything is possible

nonetheless not going into this with any expectations of success, team has its back against the wall with stacked odds having no Giannis or Dame

So primed for a moral victory

[PG Graveyard]

Is Doc just lying about the injuries now to keep us engaged? I kind of wish they would have just ruled them out so I can officially give up.

Took until this absolutely doomed postseason to embrace this star-crossed squad.

The heart is a peculiar thing innit.

[kanyon]

We need Laurence Fishburne at the helm.

The extender! Of course

Nice, game 6 here we come.

[KidA24]

Welp.

Let's go Bucks.

I posted this before I realized that April 30th is the day it happened. Nine long years ago.

Mike Dunleavy is a dirty piece of crap.

A really dirty piece of crap.

Scott Foster officiating

Nice, game 6 here we come.

He tried to pull it off Sunday in Phoenix but failed. He won’t fail twice. Good night for us to start a fight and watch foster kick out Halliburton, Turner and Siakam. That makes things even.

[jimmybones]

Our role plays going nuclear from deep is about our only shot, if Beasley, AJ, Pat and Jae aren't hitting several 3s we're cooked.

I hate to think this way but what a let down if our C squad finds a way to get one without all the horses and come Thursday the horses still aren't ready

[Turk Nowitzki]

I just want it be over at this point. We got screwed in every way possible this year as fans.
