GT: Bucks @ Bulls 7:00 PM (Preseason Game 1)

[paulpressey25]

Yes I can see this kid starting opening night, just trying to make chemistry.

Exactly. Provided that Rashad plays passable defense, he might be the perfect chemistry guy you need when operating with MCW, Giannis, Middleton and Monroe.

Then you save Mayo, Grievis and Jabari for what would be a great second unit. Kidd likes being able to come at you in waves.

And as we know, they may not even play Jabari much the next 45 days anyways.

The second half of the game was awful to watch, the only positives were Vaughn and Inglis. Plumlee showed he's a good free throw shooter but poor rebounder for a big. I think Plumlee could be a decent 3rd C / PF for our bench.

Think we have too many guards on the roster, hope the Bucks are able to trade away Bayless before the season starts. I'd keep Mayo for his contract year based on his performance last season, we may need his bench scoring and playmaking. I don't know what to make of Copeland as he hasn't played yet.

My current bench roster: Vásquez, Mayo, Henson, Vaughn, Inglis, Copeland, Plumlee

With Vaughn and Inglis looking like legit NBA rotation players, our bench is looking pretty nasty imo. Went from one of my biggest concerns before the season to potentially back to one of this team's strengths as it was first half of last season. It's gonna take time to build an identity/chemistry but once they're clicking....a bench of Mayo, Henson, Vasquez, Copeland, Bayless, Inglis, Vaughn, Plums could really light teams up. Especially with staggered lineups where we can throw Monroe at PF to bully smaller teams or Giannis at PF or small ball C to torch slower teams. So much versatility, so many different things we can throw at opponents.

Really enjoying the Palermo's Pizza Postgame Hot Takes. Keep them burners turned hard to the right.

Well, only just got a chance to watch the game tonight. Avoided all scores and bucks news until then and came away feeling it was well worth while.
Middleton looks slick as anything and i nearly fell off the couch when he dunked on butler. Monroe with a couple real nice passes and that spin move is delightful.
I think pretty clearly the two major positives were Vaughn and Inglis. First off Inglis looked leaps and bounds better then he did in summer league, he actually moved without looking like he was in severe pain and got off the ground for that alley. Its been mentioned on here a few times that Vaughn could be what we all wish Mayo was and i was kind of sceptical and whilst it was only game one of pre season he showed an ability to score in a ton of ways and most importantly for this side, knocked down threes.

There simply cannot be a team in the league with a more exciting bunch of young guys 25 and under then us.
Monroe, Middleton, Giannis, Parker, MCW, Henson, Inglis and Vaughn are going to give us some fun fun times.

[Prince12]

Also Horford and Westbrook waived it appears. Then there were 18. Also a positive for the next pre season games, two less players on the roster I have no interest in.

Gery is/was also very critical of Giannis.

And as for hating Knight? Lost count of the number of times people posted 'He seems like a great guy but he's a horrible fit for this team'.

[Prince12]

I want OJ to hang around. Favourite moment of last season was when he had that 3 wiped game 4 then next possession he stared down the three and nailed it cold to put us up 6 late. He's had issues sure but I see no reason to fault him from the start of last season to now and from the outside he appears to be a good teammate and well liked by the young guys.
Trading him because we have Vaughn would be stupidly premature.

But what if Mayo wants to be traded like Dudley and ZaZa?

If he is cool playing backup minutes while Vaughn nips at his heels throughout his contract year then we don't need to trade him of course.

Either way I would hope we could get a better return than what Dudley and ZaZa yielded.

If the Hornets aren't giving up on the season you'd think they would be real desperate for a starting caliber wing in particular.

Yeah I mean that could be the case but I think OJ fits a major need for us being shooting and I don't know what we get back that would be better for us this season. Given it is a contract year for him. The more shooters we have the better in my book and if Vaughn does turn out to be a real contributor well that just adds to our rather impressive bench crew.

Anyone have an idea what this is about?

I guess Jay Z and Beyonce are doing it now?

It’s a somewhat indistinct riff on the classic two-step that was popularized by the little known Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda. Back in March, Shmurda uploaded a video to YouTube for his single “Hot ****.” It depicted him smoking joints on top of a car and drinking from a Styrofoam cup. It did not seem especially noteworthy. But there’s a moment at the video’s 2:20 mark in which Shmurda tosses his Knicks hat to the ground, turns his back to the camera, and begins twisting his back and arms with a nicely articulated swagger.

The video was popular, getting about 450,000 views in three months, as Complex notes—considerably more, at the time, than an earlier video for the song “Shmoney Dance” by Rowdy Rebbel featuring Bobby Shmurda. But when someone put that particular clip noted above on Vine, both the video and the Shmoney Dance took off. The original video is now nearing 2 million views, with dozens of parody videos popping up on YouTube and Vine everyday. Meanwhile, Shmurda says he’s since received attention from better known rappers like Fabolous, Yo Gotti, and Meek Mill, with whom he recently performed in Miami.

Looks like hockey will be on FSDetroit instead

[Badgerlander]

the game is in Milwaukee, not Detroit

[EastSideBucksFan]

MACC Fund game usually never has a feed available.

Get your tix and go to the game if you can.

It's already known the game isn't on TV in MKE. We were wondering if the game was on LP and the only way it would be is if it was NBA TV or FSDetroit brought their crew.

On a great note, Cavs game on Tuesday will be on NBATV.

Didn't we have a feed of a preseason game straight from the BC last season? I remember watching a weird feed of the game with no announcers and no commercials...
