Round 1 Indy Lead Up

[milwaukee bunks]

Losing Hield, Brown, and Mathurin won't bode well for the Pacers. Those 3 dudes killed us in every game this year. Bucks in 6

They are all out indefinitely?

mathurin is out, the other 2 were traded

[Isocleas2]

If Giannis is healthy i like the Bucks in 5 or 6. Bucks often suck the first game of the season, hopefully they learned their lessons.

[Frank Nova]

Can we get a time? Trying to make Sunday plans.

I’d be rather surprised if the NBA set a time schedule for any weekend games before the play in is wrapped up. We may have to wait til Thursday to find out. Hopefully I’m wrong tho, just an assumption. I’d also like to make my plans for the game well in advance lol.

[AntetokounmBros]

Just guessing based on last year's schedule, but my bet is 2pm or 4:30pm. Maybe something like:

2pm BOS/8th
4:30pm MIL/IND
7pm LAC/DAL
9:30pm OKC/8th

I am at a very low point heading into this series.

Hoping for our Greek Wolverine to heal up and dominate.

Hoping for Dame to be Dame again. Playoffs are here, we're waiting, man.

Hoping Khris can stay healthy. Wrap him in bubblewrap.

Hoping Bev can neutralize Hali. He will look to play Brook off the floor.

Dark times, but the hope is there. The path is there if we can get our **** together.

Horst has to be **** bricks.

They punked us back to back in January and we showed no pride at all. I don’t have any confidence in this team especially without a 100% Giannis. Fully expect Pacers in 5 or 6.

Milwaukee/Indiana will be the TNT game.
Boston vs. Philly/Miami/Chicago/Atlanta will be ABC
OKC vs. New Orleans/LA Lakers/Sacramento/Golden State will be the second TNT game.
LA Clippers vs. Dallas (in LA) will be the late game.

I'd say you can pretty much take this to the bank.

If Bucks lose at home in first 2 then I think Indy takes it

[Bucks4Milwaukee]

Hard to see anything but us losing in the first round. We have the stars though so that’s what the playoffs are supposed to be about. Defense will be key but idc that it happened early in the year or not, they passed and ran all over our asses early on…we have to stop that in order to win and this team didn’t do that down the stretch losing a lot of winnable games. Hope we do it in 5 and the defense is clicking but expecting us to lose in 6.

[steger_3434]

If Gianni’s plays we win in 6. If he’s hobbled our misses any games we lose in 6

I’m a big Debbie downer on the Bucks this year. I really hope they win but this team has a terrible vibe to it. I think we go down 4-2.

[aboveAverage]

Wouldn’t surprise me if we turn up the intensity in the playoffs and play really well. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if we get swept. Who knows what team will show up and how healthy Giannis will be.

Fkin smashes the over with great prejudice.

I'm no good at outcome predictions, although I'm optimistic about this revenge series and hope the Bucks sweep and then hand that punk Haliburton the game ball.

So instead of outcome predictions I think I'll make some frequency-of-post predictions. For example, the first time Middleton dribbles the ball off his foot -- 6 RealGM posts.

OCCURRENCE-# OF POSTS-TONE/SUBSTANCE

Lillard misses first two 3PAs--5--washed up/wishes he were in Miami/never learned to play with Giannis
Giannis offensive foul--3--outcoached because of wall/same old Giannis/trade him for KD
Beasley gets blown by--7--slow/old/told you so
Pacers make uncontested corner three--4--Doc sucks/could have done that with Bud/what was the point of dumping Griffin?

Never change, Bucks RealGM forum.

Just a tremendous amount of bs that we have to deal with this again. The basketball gods let us cheat injury luck to get one ring and have punished us every year since then.

Oh, right. Totally forgot about that trade.
Thanks!

I need it to be as late as possible on Sunday. Fingers crossed.

[LUKE23]

If GA is out Bucks will be swept.

[Thunder Muscle]

Ah, I don't think I realized they re-seed like that. Well, Boston having to face Philly or Miami while we get Cleveland or Orlando would rule

Apparently I'm full of ****. My bad.

Same here. I swore they reseeded but clearly I’m full of **** too.

If Giannis is out, likely won’t matter either way. Yesterday I was optimistic, today I’m not. Its looking like the odds are more likely Giannis is out most of the series. I saw media starting to leak the narrative that Dame isn’t happy here, which certainly his body language suggests (at least to me). Doc isn’t necessarily known for his playoff prowess in the last decade plus. We seem like an old wounded team that is ready to be put down.
