Borrowed from the game thread, thanks rrravenred:
“More broadly, I'm actually cautiously optimistic about this campaign …”
Most precisely, I am rashly optimistic about this campaign.
I’m optimistic we have a great coach, one with a track record. Though I grew to hate Karl, he did add fan optimism to his arrival. The yearly uncertainties with Porter, Stotts, and Larry usurped optimism, though I grew to love them all.
I’m optimistic we have a great manager, one the Bucks should have striven for as some (not all) of prior deals must have been sour. Reading around the board, it seems everyone would trade all of our back-up bigs, we can now through in Croshere, to get Pachulia back. Most would trade three to get Pryzbilla back. And many would trade two to get, provided we could find the right buffet table, Robert the Tractor Traylor back.
I’m optimistic we had a great draft. We always draft good; a few unfortunate first round selections have kept us from being great. This year we got it right, had to, it’s the law of averages. We drafted a white boy who can jump and royalty in the second round. We own the second round. No doubt you’ll correct me if I’m wrong but can we not field a team of just Buck second round selections, Sessions, Bell, Redd, Mbah, and Gadzuric. When Ersan comes back, we can add a sixth man. Incredible.
I’m optimistic we have a great team, I kind of like the previous line-up and four starters aren’t even on it. I told my Seattle based relative that Ridnour was going to have a resurgence in Milwaukee this year. He said that’s impossible, he hasn’t had a surgence yet. Bah. Bogut is a beast and getting beastlier; love the beard. Villanueva is a must love, love the looks, the smile, the headband, the slippery inside game, the nose for offensive glass, and he’s a gun slinger to boot. I’m hoping to love Jefferson. You’d think you might now finally be able to find a Bucks cap at the sport’s apparel store in Tucson. You’d be wrong. I walked into one:
Got a Milwaukee Buck’s cap?
No, unless by special order, we don’t carry soccer gear.
Thanks, guess I’ll see if they got one left at the Chinese Food Market. You know, Richard Jefferson is going to have a monster NBA season this year.Huh, ah, yeah, good, but I’m more of a Miles Simon fan.
I’m throwing money into a jar for a red Redd jersey. That item is as hot, hot, hot as Redd himself. If the jar is full before the Phoenix away game, look for the jersey in the stands. Great starters, great bench.
Great season,
great optimism.
Go Bucks!
