PG Knicks: Mouth Trama

[-Jragon-]

I hope we have a magic button

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

Well, we officially cant be in play-in. So our options are:
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6

I hope for #6 honestly.

#4 and #5 play Boston in 2nd round and you want to avoid Boston as long as posible (they could have injuries after first 2 rounds)
#3 play against #6 and that could be Sixers (or Miami)
#2 play against #7 and that will be Sixers or Miami

Give me #6 all day

Rest Giannis, Dame and Khris against Orlando (both games). Thats all.

it wont matter what seed we are or who we play because no matter who it is theyll be glad they drew us.

in fact i think were the one team trying all out, at least recently..... and its probably the other teams strategically trying to get us for their matchup. were that bad right now

It's going to be a long summer sports wise.. I only know like 3 players on the Brewers right now

Bucks current playoff probabilities: 2nd 40.1%, 3rd 21.0%, 4th 19.3%, 5th 12.8%, 6th 6.7%

[GoldenAntlers]

It may not matter much but Doc has no answer. Neither did Griff. What is the solution, guys?

Watch WrestleMania.

I'm trying to watch something entertaining.

I started playing video games during the second half.

We need some hard and fast rules for the playoff rotation.

1. At least one of Giannis and Brook always on the floor.
2. At least one of Dame and Khris always on the floor.
3. Pat C. only plays while Giannis plays.
4. Bobby and Pat C. never play together.

Anybody else have some?

Dame and Beas do not play at the same time.

Number of people keep talking about playoff seeding. The reality is our seed is irrelevant.

Bucks playoff success or lack of it, is completely within their control, not related to the specifics of opponent.

Agree but if Boston plays 76ers/Heat in a 7 game series round 1 and we beat the Magic/Knicks/Cavs in 6 with a couple blowouts in there... There is definitely a preferred scenario. The more intense the games and the longer the series = higher injury chance + fatigue.

1. AJJ and AJ Green into the rotation for Jae and Malik (I know this will never, ever happen)
2. Run Giannis/Khris/Dame into the ground, 38+ minutes per game. (I know this will never, ever happen)

Fully expect #2 to happen. They will be fine.

Did somebody already say Khris only lost a tooth because he's too lazy and out of shape to move his mouth out of the path of Donte's fist?

Call on me; Call on me

5. If a role player starts off O - 3 from 3 and/or he doesn't contribute much on D, sit his a$$ until the 2nd half.. maybe he can meditate and get hot during the 2nd half warmups (or tell him to drive and kick) but get someone in that can contribute but don't let it turn into 1 -7 or 2 - 10 as the game goes.. that kills us
6. If a role player is getting toasted on D for whatever reason, get him and and get someone in that can stay in front of them. Don't leave him in to be slaughtered and let them get a 10-0 run on us.
7. If GA or KM have a stupid dribbling turnover they have to defer to Dame bringing it up in the halfcourt for the rest of the quarter

These next 2 are a little more grey area than what you're looking for but:
8. If we're doing a 1v1 thing and it doesn't work 2x in a row, run plays for the next 5 possessions
9. If they stop a play we're doing there should be an extra wrinkle that counters the way they stopped it; don't abondon the play.. add the wrinkle in or change the personnel who is doing the action, add a 2nd screen at a different level

No but clumsy and soft players tend to get most of the rare bad luck injuries and are always the whining/complaining victim instead of the aggressor.

Was it something personal for Donte? There was some extra effort in the post punch shove off.

Watch on YouTube

Connaughton, the clumsy softy.

[-Jragon-]

Being more specific.. I saw the play several times.. if he bends his knees and actually boxes out the dude behind him then he's nowhere near Donte. He just goes into the pile of dudes like it's a hustle game with 8 people and get's pushed around. Pick 1 guy and box out. Giannis does the same bs but he's a freak and still gets the ball

[jimmybones]

Every year there are "paper tiger" contenders that somehow and sometimes through smoke and mirrors find themselves in a high seed while no one actually thinks they are a legit threat. I don't know if I've ever seen a team with two "superstars" end up with the second most wins in their conference yet be a team no one fears or takes seriously as a contender.

To me he's more mechanical than clumsy but yeah, similar results because you end up just a little out of position and your face is right into people's arms and elbows. Beas and Portis are mechanical too but usually they end up 5 ft from a player so they don't get hit lol

Dame is clearly no longer a superstar.
