Round 1 Game 4: Bucks at Pacers - 4/28/24 - 6:00 - TNT/BSWI

[MickeyDavis]

No Giannis, no Dame, obviously an uphill climb.

Please keep the discussion on the game. Who should or should not be moved in the summer is already being discussed in the team thread. Keep it going there. Thx.

Go Bucks.

Is Dame for sure not playing?
I thought I read somewhere they will have him take an MRI to decide.

If we are absolutely lucky, there is a future that both Giannis and Dame play game 5.
Also, if we're unlucky, there is one future where all 3 of Giannis, Dame and Khris are unable to play, lol.

[MickeyDavis]

Dame is listed as doubtful. He won't play.

[TroyD92]

Imagine if they lose this and Giannis comes back for game 5 and 6 then Dame for 7.

Even after all this basketball some part of me just cannot accept we traded for dame and got worse.

Hopefully we can steal this one, but if Giannis isnt back pretty much immediately and near 100% it wont matter.

[FAH1223]

Pat Bev masterclass incoming.

[Plossum]

Is a Giannis and Dameless team even a 25 win reg season unit?

What did we do to upset the basketball gods like this?

[MissKhriddleton]

I believe.

[Wonka]

Expecting 5+ 30 foot bombs from Brook and nothing else

[MickeyDavis]

James Capers, Brian Forte and Brent Barnaky officiating. They're fine. The Tony Brothers clown show is in Dallas.

For my mental health, I'm going to sleep in and skip this one. I may wake up and check the score but, I'm going to sleep in and if I wake up, I'll just meditate to keep myself calm to start my week properly.

Lucky the NFL draft was this weekend to keep me distracted from all this.

That being said... 120-104.

[JayMKE]

Think this one is going to be ugly, team is probably ready to pack it in with Giannis now Dame hurt. They get shut down and team saves face with them never playing together in the playoffs so they run it back it back again next year.

that is, unless AJ Green has something has something to say about it

Instead of a limerick a dirge
As bad luck and bad timing converge
While our chances are narrow
I say dum spiro spero
You're not fallen when you're on the verge

The basketball gods are like that annoying chef guy who yells at everybody. They're telling Doc to make an omelet without eggs. Let's see what he can whip up.

Feeling a Dairy Bird ingredient substitution and a narrow 120-118 victory.

Older players get injured more often than younger ones do.

[Neuromancer56]

Time to give AJJ & AJG some serious minutes like 30 or more. We'll lose this one, but they'll gain valuable experience.

[WeMajor34]

I hope we go:

Bev
Andre
Khris
Bobby
Brook

Our bench is a tire fire but I just want some solid AJ minutes. Pat C, Malik, and Jae were virtually useless last game. One of those guys needs to show up.

I think we have a chance but I’m not holding my breath. Pacers are going to double and trap Khris, we’ll see if anyone else can deliver. Khris “fountain of youth” game incoming.

[ShootingtheJ]

If Giannis doesn't go, i could see Marjon getting a shot. They know Beasley and Crowder give us nothing, don't give either a single token minute.

[fan230]

I would like to see Thanasis get a shot at shoring up our defense. He may not be worse than the many defensive sieves we have. Hope Doc gives him a chance.

[Matches Malone]

Giannis and Dame officially out.
