Bucks FanFest and Scrimmage

[JimmyTheKid]

And u can tell that by watching a Fricking scrimmage wow u should b a gm then.

You should be nicer to the future owner of the Bucks...

I didn't see this post until Jez quoted it because driese0824 is on my ignore list, but let me make this clear: I just watched THE INTROS, not even the Fricking Scrimmage, and I think we have a shot at Wiggins. The make up of the team just looks bad. Very bad. Which, in my opinion, is good. Very good.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.

I also haven't seen this group play one minute of basketball together and I completely disagree. The "make up," "construction," or "balance" of the roster is infinitely better than any Bucks team I've watched over the last few years. At least on paper. I guess Brandon Knight really could be the "worst starting PG in the league" but I'll give the 21-year old, playing with a completely new group, a few games before I jump on that line of thinking. I guess Sanders, Henson, and Ilyasova could all regress, but I realy doubt thats going to happen. And I guess our bench could be worse than last year, a feat that seems flat out impossible, but, again, I guess it could also happen.

:14 seconds in Udoh next to Middleton at a desk for signing and greeting fans. He goes from having a disappointed look to frowning and then faking a smile, for Bucks.com. Maybe because he really was sore and couldn't play, so he was disappointed? Or...?

Is this a joke?

He was just being goofy with the camera going from a goofy frown face to a goofy smile.

Udoh's sitting out at the open practice and taking into account the glowing reports from Larry Drew about how good Udoh looked at training camp practice, sure makes me curious if we are trying to move him before the season starts.

Zaza looked fine in warmups, maybe we are just waiting out camp to make sure he will be OK before we deal Udoh?

Sure he's being goofy but why would he be inclined to frown initially after already having a sour disposition?

And he changed expressions so quickly that it seems like he realized he shouldn't be doing that for some reason.

I really hope the Bucks trade Udoh but that being said I think this is making something of nothing. I think Ekpe dances to the beat of a different drummer so to speak(look at his tweets)and I think this is in character. Maybe he doesn't want to be here but I really don't think he is a cnacer or anything like that.

I'm not saying he's happy with the current situation. I just think in this instance you're reading too much into it. He's still getting paid millions, I doubt his current situation is leading him towards clinical depression.

He'll be fine. I guess I'm curious as to why so much attention on this board is aimed toward Epke frickin' Udoh, he's a back up PF, that's all he will ever be.

When we do the season prediction thread I'll probably put the Bucks at 30-35 wins. That probably won't get us Wiggins, but if the right combination of players play we might get lucky.

Also, it doesn't HAVE to be Wiggins. Just get in the top 5 FFS.

Supreme told me 35 if Hudson sings the Banner, 30 if Keys does it.

I want Mark Attanasios dad singing the banner. Ftw.

Speaking of signing autographs, I thought this was kind of funny. So, players would move about station to station...shooting baskets with fans at one of those blow-up basketball stations...doing a fake broadcast with a fan at the FSW booth, etc. Well, there was this younger lady in charge of telling the players their time was up at their current station, and she'd escort some to the next station.

Well when Giannis was shooting the FTs, some fans were trying to get him to sign autographs, and she kept saying "nooo, not here". But he'd still turn around and sign some, with this huge grin on his face. Then when it was time for him to move on, she told him to follow her (to his next destination). Fans were following asking for autographs. She's getting so frustrated and is yelling "no, sorry guys, no autographs!". Yet Giannis kept stopping anyways to sign, again with that big smile. You could tell he was just soaking it all in, loving every minute of the day. She was clearly frustrated tho...looked really pissed off.

If there's one thing Giannis comes off as, its a hell of a nice guy. You can tell how thankful he is to be in the position he is

No doubt, and very humble. Hopefully he stays that was as he matures and obtains success in the NBA.

I had an older co worker who knows nothing about sports who met him at some convention at a hotel. She said he was such a nice, humble guy. And tall

Cant believe I forgot to inform you that couldn't be there, but one of the rim rockers hurt his leg pretty bad during their dunk fest.

[theFireBlanket]

I caught the rim-rocker guy getting hurt, he looked really pained.

[Chapter29]

I was right there. Looked like he just sprained his ankle. He very quickly limped his way to the locker room. The dumb part is that mat isn't big enough. I know they keep it close to the trampoline in case of a slip or miss, but if you go full out, you end up just barely hitting the mat on the back end. That is what he did though to the side, his foot landed just off.

I love all the hatred towards Udoh. He clearly isn't happy. Knows we just signed 2 FC players in Zaza and Raduljica and has to really play well to get PT. So he probably feels a bit disrespected, but hey this is the big leagues. Put on your big boy pants.

I don't care at all if he's unhappy or pouting. I don't trade him unless he brings back something of value. Otherwise he represents very good bench depth and a guy who can come in a defend.

the bucks medical staff will saw off his leg and he will be hopping around in no time!
