Round 1 Indy Lead Up

Going to game 1, and I’m super amped. The last game 1 of the playoffs I went to was in 2021. Here’s to hoping for the same result!

Right now our second and third guys off the bench are Beasley and patty c who aren’t better than Teague and Forbes were then plus we don’t have Giannis. And to top it off old ass Middleton is even older and slower.

Roster is older and more brittle. I have zero expectations so im hoping for pleasant surprises.

Fortunately it's also on Bally's. Lisa is average but Marques will be on too.

I don't like Gus much, but he isn't as biased as Doris, Reggie and the like.

Its more about the lack of connection he had while being a broadcaster paid by the Bucks, that lingers with part of our fanbase. In my experience anyway.

The whole point of me posting that was because we didn’t have Giannis for 2 games (that we won) then including the clincher lol.

And c’mon man you don’t actually believe 2021 Jeff Teague and Bryn Forbes were better basketball players than current day Pat and Beasley. Teague never played again and Forbes barely stayed in the league.

Re: Teague, Giannis mentioned hearing guys on the plane drom Brooklyn after losing game 2 saying the series was over. JT was no doubt one of them. Soon highlighted JT hitting clutch shots vs. ATL.

And today he dropped a new episode on his own pod, he's taking (Giannisless) "Dame in 5" vs. Indiana. Don't know if that's not the slightest damning but I still feel good about the Bucks' chances.

No matter what happens this series, it won't be as disappointing as last year's series against Miami.

Yeah. We’d be hard pressed to replicate that **** sandwich of a top to bottom failure.

Honestly, we we’re badly outplayed and outcoached for 4.25 out of 5 games.

We were -55 points in 4th quarters. In 5 games! We lost 3 of 5 fourth quarters by at least 16 points. Including the final two games where we had the lead.

It was a disgusting series. Total collapse. No answers. No adjustments. Just crap.

None of the national media has any faith in us. I’m not sure I’ve heard a preview of anyone picking us :lol:

At least it seems we’ll be underdogs in every series we play.

Ive got an extra single ticket for each of the first two home games.

Face was 110. Ill take 100 right now but, as we get closer to game day, also willing to beat TM pricing on row 1 seats for sec 207, 209, 221 and 223.

DM if interested

Need an Office Space meme with Lumbergh to Adam Silver

Best case scenario: Dame comes out flamethrowing and reminds everyone who the **** he is. Khris is playoffs Khris, Bobby Buckets buries jumpers and ignites the crowd. We win the first two at home and buy another week of rest for Giannis. But wait, there's more. We go into Indy and take one there on a night where Dame scores 45. We finish the job at home in Game 5 and have effectively given Giannis closer 3-4 weeks than a rushed 2. Dame and the boys are cooking and Giannis is good to go for round 2. Not only is he fully healthy but he's also fresh. 12 wins away from a title with a fresh Giannis.

Worst case scenario: We completely poop on ourselves, like everywhere, go down 3-0 and Giannis feels pressure to play before he's ready. He comes back before he's ready to try and save these bums but he's just not right.

Could totally see either scenario play out. I'm just ready to see which version of Dame and this team shows up. The recent data is not promising but playoffs are playoffs. If we show up like we are capable of, we beat Indiana without Giannis playing a minute. But that IF is pretty big.

I dont think this is the worst case scenario.
