Brutal. Needed game 3 to buy them an extra game of rest. Not that I'm confident they would've been able to make it back for game 6 anyways. Just not our season.

Is this a you know thing or a prediction?

Both officially listed as doubtful. Technically it could happen but for a realistic chance they'd be listed as questionable.

2 years in a row Gianni’s doesn’t play in the playoffs. Him being an injury concern is a legit argument. We said Boston is screwed because it’s just a matter of time before porzingas was going to be hurt. Giannis has become that guy.

Giannis played in the playoffs last season.

Yeah it does seem like doubtful has been fairly meaningful a designation for the team. Has felt like a season that wasn't meant to be for quite a while.

Reckon I'll skip the offseason insanity here given its already ramping up.

Just rule them both out until training camp already and put us out of our misery.

How the hell is Giannis doubtful? He did a full speed workout yesterday. Get him on the floor.

The medical team cleared him all those at the end of the regular season, but sit him out now?

The Bucks org has def Bogut’d the fan base on the seriousness of Giannis’ injury.

I look forward to the leaks to Shams/Woj after the series about how hobbled Giannis was.

Seems he was never going to play and they I reckon they knew it.

I think the FO is honestly tanking the season at this point. They don’t want to risk Giannis coming back and making the injury worse which then impacts us next season.

Even with Giannis back, it seems unlikely we’re taking the next three against Indy and then a tough series against the Knicks (with Boston then likely Denver).

I think we’ve waived the white flag on a cursed season and are ready to move on to next year.

Weird thing is, there's really no risk of a serious injury, the only risk is the same injury. Tanking the playoffs is the dumbest thing I've ever heard

I’m not a medical expert but I’d have thought the injury could get a whole lot worse if he’s underdone and comes back too early?

I'll go with the medical personnel (actual Doctors) who have access to the actual scans (I assume there have been several) as well as the training staff who are working with him on his rehab.

Where were these geniuses the last 2 weeks of the season? They sure didn't do anything for Giannis and Dame then.

They've lost credibility. I did trust them. Now I don't.

The Bucks don't care about injury designations.

wasnt middleton doubtful before the last game?

GHOSTofSIKMA · Post #299 » by **GHOSTofSIKMA** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 1:53 am

i feel like we try to win the next one at home with the lineup from last night (remind everybody to keep their cool on box outs).... and if somehow we win we bring the cannons out for the indy game 6.

i wouldnt rush anybody back unless we pulled off an upset in game 5

With a calf strain can't you rupture achilles a la KD?
