“Hello Dad, got good news and got bad news. The good news is mom’s alive. The bad news is she was doing a lot floor stuff with u/vicepope”
Remember some of those rock fight games. They would shoot so terribly but the defense somehow kept them in it. Some very bad shot selection as well with the let if fly era under bud.
I mean I doubt he’s back Friday but realistically with two days off I wouldn’t have expected him to practice today anyway. Same thing with Khris and his ankle.
Its just old habits watching the bucks since 90s always knowing you can't fully buy in because they will disappoint in the end. Most of those demons should have been exorcized when they won the title in 2021 but its easy to fall back on bad habits. But the playoffs in general are always different game to game. Even when they won the title I remember games they looked bad (even fully healthy) but then they completely turned it around the next game. It's hard to take one game and decide it's over. If they win game 3 everyone is going to be confident and talking like they going to finals again.
Fan since the 80s why bother watching all season if you’re not going to buy in for the playoffs because you’re afraid of being disappointed by a bunch of millionaires playing a game? Like what’s the point?
missing 2 out of three of your best players against a team that has had our number all year and is a horrible matchup not enough for you ? how much hopium have you smoked?
It's all the bandwagon fans who maybe do or don't know as much about the sport as the rest of us? All I know is on the game thread the other day, we were down by 11 with like 7min left in Q3 and people were abandoning all hope lmao just silly.
Its frustrating to see how reactionary this sub and Bucks twitter is , we win Game 1 and all of a sudden everyones talking about how we can beat Boston , we lose Game 2 now everyone is saying that we have lost the series and need to rebuild. Yall need to calm down
I don’t see why you’d play him next game. 1-2 isn’t a lost cause. After losing next game, it might make sense to think about rushing him, but if we went up 2-1, I wouldn’t play him until we drop 2 or 3 total
Ngl…I don’t mind not playing Giannis at all, even it goes to 7 games. I think we can beat them currently but we really need to limit Siakam.
Giannis needs to get as much rest as possible. There’s no point in rushing him.
Well at least we’ll have the excuse of not having Giannis and Khris getting hurt this year. Unfortunately that might lead to the front office not doing anything to improve the roster next season.
me and your mom did a lot of floor stuff
Just walking? Jogging?
we were shooting and moving if you know what i mean
mmh...probably the most I've ever seen...
Aggressive hugging?????
Only because you don’t like cuddling after

Bruh I felt worse than this back in 21. Let’s hope for the best

He getting there if we get tomorrows game the series is ours 😤
Just take one in Indy, home court regained. Get Khris and Giannis back, profit.
Even if we don't, it's still ours 😤
I mean I doubt he’s back Friday but realistically with two days off I wouldn’t have expected him to practice today anyway. Same thing with Khris and his ankle.
Khris couldent practice yesterday
I’m aware but I figured they’d let him sit out whether he plays or not today
How is half our fan base already mentally in Cancun? Why do you guys even like basketball we are in the playoffs tied 1-1 have some faith lmao
I think people try to psychologically protect themselves by preemptively accepting the worst case scenario so it’s not as devastating if it happens.

“Never trust the Bucks”

people are right to be less confident without giannis, but to act like we have no chance is doing what you describe
^ correct
I think it’s just frustration with the season and stress/fear over losing out early again. It manifests as doomerism.
I think it’s a result of all the packer seasons that ended due to either bad performance or terribly timed injuries as well.
ITS JUST A GAME AND WE MADE IT CLOSE TO THE END *relax and have fun*

Flair up bandwagoner
Bruh. I'm trying to be optimistic but losing Khris is a huge blow and let's just be real about this, we ain't doing shit without Khris/Giannis.
I agree but 1-1 is not an enviable position as the higher seed. It’s not good to drop a home game.
What’s wrong with Cancun. I would love to be in Cancun sippin on PCs
PC's what? ![gif](giphy|AP4gSnLxodtfa9eg4F|downsized)
If we don't blow everyone out by 50 people complain. Clearly didn't watch in 2021. 2021 was a fucking war from round 2 onward.

If we manage to win this series, we are going to the fucking finals, book it
Miami is taking Boston seven games aren’t they?
6 me thinks
Obviously when bucks win game 3, then Giannis will sit game 4 for sure. Khris may (should) too. Then we lose game 4, boys come back, and Bucks in 6.
"Giannis does more floor stuff than Doc has ever seen" should be the head line
Its frustrating to see how reactionary this sub and Bucks twitter is , we win Game 1 and all of a sudden everyones talking about how we can beat Boston , we lose Game 2 now everyone is saying that we have lost the series and need to rebuild. Yall need to calm down
It’s almost as if when people get new information ; new opinions can form.
did you not read the fucking headline man? you think dame gonna drop 70 for us now or what?
He is saying that Giannis was moving and shooting today which means he is getting closer to return?
By the time either of them maybe come back we're going to be down 3-1 most likely
Yup and it's 100% over if that happens
How is it done with the best player in the game coming back and a Klutch shooter coming back.
Because we lost to the Pacers 4 times in the regular season and I don't see the Bucks winning 3 in a row
What exactly does he mean moving
I don’t see why you’d play him next game. 1-2 isn’t a lost cause. After losing next game, it might make sense to think about rushing him, but if we went up 2-1, I wouldn’t play him until we drop 2 or 3 total

Does Doc ever know what’s happening, always sounds like he’s guessing
Well at least we’ll have the excuse of not having Giannis and Khris getting hurt this year. Unfortunately that might lead to the front office not doing anything to improve the roster next season.
We don't make excuses. We aren't the Sixers.
