Once they have that golden shining moment and it comes to them in a dream or whatever and they understand that, that's when this team and this franchise will go to another level from where it was when I was here.

Bucks have a tough choice w/ Crowder

Hes their best option to guard Siakam but is a complete liability on offense

When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Pacers just spread the Bucks out and they are too old and slow to recover. Direct line drive every time.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

That was one of the worst continuation calls I've ever seen. Wasn't even close to finishing the gather. Ridiculous.

Not the first two games version of ourselves. Prob lose @ MIL and Indy's offense is way better. Would be a fun series with Indy though


Tru but niether of these teams are as good defensively compared to Cleveland as well.

Well see the rest of the team is 32 and younger so we needed a grandfather/mother figure and James went all in.

So what’s the word on Giannis? He coming back next game?

Turner has been amazing this series. Goes without saying Bucks are exposed on defense without Giannis.

Why not? giannis is out and dame misses this game. Pacers are fully healthy( aside from mathurin who has been out for months).... the pacers should win this series with giannis being out.

Bucks have something w/ Andre Jackson

He could be a Donte type for them. They have a solid core around Dame and Giannis and Khris is healthy again. Hes balled out these last 2 games they were unlucky to not split them even w/o Giannis and a 1 legged Dame.

I meant before the series started I never expected them to go up 3-1

Without Dame (and Giannis) I fully expected them to win this game

They were bad on defense even with him this year. DPOY Giannis is long gone.

Not very recent. He's had them throughout the season if memory serves me right.

Giannis should ask for a trade. This team is a dumpster fire and doc ain’t saving anything. He’s only getting older. Only thing more disappointing is Phoenix
