Game 71: Thunder at Bucks - 3/24/24 - 6:00 - NBATV/BSWI
This could be a fun game to go to. Unfortunately I can't. Thunder have submitted their initial injury report. They are at full strength. Bucks have not yet submitted theirs but are expected to be at full strength (finally).
Last year we played them twice early in the season (winning both). This year we play them twice late in the season.
This will be only the 4th game since the coaching change that Giannis, Dame and Khris all play. Time to ramp up for the playoffs. We're running out of time to gel and "figure things out". The time is now.
Bucks favored by 2.5
Go Bucks

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I'm kind of stunned that the Bucks are favored.

It being game 71 of the regular season and just the 4th game of Giannis/Dame/Khris (potentially) under a halfway competent coaching staff is legit hilarious. God this is a **** weird season.

Now with a stacked team our 3 headed multiple all stars machine, it's a MUST WIN!

I'm hoping that Khris is the glue that gets Giannis and Dame firing together.

OKC is the top three point shooting team, just ahead of Boston. They're second in overall shooting. They have been built the right way. Shooters at every position.

This would be a great "confidence win" heading into the final stretch. Beat Thunder at home, then win 6 out of the next 7, before the final regular season showdown with Boston.

This is a good Thunder team that's hungry for wins for validation, 1 seed, and Shai's MVP chances. Think we lose by 20 and I'm alright with it.

I can't be alright with us losing at home, but especially by that much. That says that something is going very wrong.

Shai is a midrange beast. He’s gonna carve us up. Need to lean into Brook, Giannis and Bobby. They’re very undersized.

We have a star trying to deal with a nagging injury, a second star whose season has been wholly inconsistent, a third borderline star trying to round into playing shape after missing a month and a half against a young, deep team. They value these wins, our team seems to have motivation problems. These teams are unlikely to see each other in the playoffs. And teams just regularly get blown out now due to 3 point variance. Add in that Chet can play Brook off the court and it really does look like a recipe for a lopsided game.
That being said, a win here would be really nice.

I'd Shai this will be an easy win as long as we don't play like sit.

Lakers are 3-0 against OKC this year because AD dominates them in the paint. Shai's a tough matchup for us (anyone) but our frontline should feast on the boards against them.
