That's great! I'm Happy you enjoy laying down and hugging men in your free time :)

I've played and competed vs White Chocolate, HeziGod, The Professor in Venice and been given props by them

So you can say I'm pretty good :wink:


Seems like being complimented by sweaty men is the only thing we have in common.

Enjoy day dreaming kid

Not happening. Giannis is not leaving Milwaukee.


Why?


There's no reason for him to leave. He has already won a title with the team that drafted him. His legacy is already set as a guy who led a small-market team to their 2nd ever title and made them a perennial contender for more than half a decade. He's going to go down as one of the two best players ever to don Milwaukee's uniform (and if KAJ didn't play for Milwaukee, I would have no qualms calling him the best player Milwaukee ever had) and he's for sure getting a statue.

Why would he tarnish his legacy by attempting to ring chase? Ring chasing is for those who failed to win a title with the team that drafted them. Giannis isn't one of them. He actually took the team that drafted him to the promised land, just like Steph and Jokic did. Those guys aren't leaving their teams.

Malik Beasley should've been benched in the first half. Doc was fooled by game 5 & got away from letting AJJ eat those minutes.

I have no idea why Andre Jackson Jr didn't play in this game until the late 4th. He 100% deserved to play more.

Giannis appears to be a hungry fellow. He doesn't seem satisfied with just one title lol

elite defense is what made them a contending team....Bucks fans didn't want to hear it though.


To be fair, we'll never know how much the offense could have helped them negate that defensive shortcoming with 50% Dame and 0% Giannis. i think they run it back one more time next season before decided to move on from this core.


I'm sure they'll try to surround Giannis, Dame, Khris with more youth, or at least guys that can defend. We were stuck playing too many below average defenders on the court at once, especially with injuries... + no Giannis to cover up mistakes this series.

If Giannis requests a trade I hope he realizes he is responsible for a lot of this 23/24 season.

Rick is a great coach. If the Pacers get a third star he can do some magic with them.


We still don't know what they have in Mathurin, Sheppard and Jarace Walker. Pacers have a deep roster and can't even find tick for everyone.


Yep. Mathurin, imo, has an excellent chance of developing into that wing scoring star. Jarace Walker also has the potential to be a high level starter but more in a connector/swish army knife type of player. As for Sheppard, he fits the 3&D mold to a T.

He's Euro/foreigner as well.

They aren't known to be bouncing around from team to team, ring chasing like lot of the younger Americans kids do.

Commiserations to Bucks fans. A season that promised so much with the addition of Dame was troubled ever since Adrian Griffin was hired and fired as coach.

Hearty congrats to Pacers, your season can only be described as an unqualified success. Winning a playoff series for the first time in 10 years is a terrific building block.

The Pascal Siakam trade was absolutely a terrific and inspired move by the Pacers at the deadline

Rick Carlisle continuing to prove he is a top 3 coach in the NBA.

I think that might be why he requests trade. Sorry guys I messed up this timeline, please have a bevy of picks and young players in place of me and start over.

Oh, he definitely wants another title. That's a given. But he wants to win that title with Milwaukee and that's what he will try to do.
