Bucks have been playing us tough for a long time. We never do well against the Bucks. We have no one who can stop Giannis. And their 3 point shooting has been killer. it is gonna be a long night. could get really ugly.

These games are such a drag right now. win or lose i just want to see Lauri and the bunch back on the court.

On a side note i really want to see the raps vs the bucks in the playoffs. Not sure if kahwai is back to his old self but him guarding Yanis for a series would be fun to watch.

And shout out to AJ Bombers for all you buck lurkers in here lol.

another blowout, just dont have the horses

these next couple of weeks outside the suns game and maybe the heat game, will be a blur, lot of losses coming

schedule eases up in december, plus guys will be returning then, see what the team is about then.

i do expect a big game from lavine though, bounce back from a poor performance vs boston

It is interesting to see how the Bucks built a good team compared to the Bulls. Giannis was not a top 3 pick. They traded for Bledsoe. Brogdon was a 2nd round pick. Lopez was a free agent. Budenholzer was brought in to coach. Sad when a small market team is doing way better than we are. We should have spent an extra 10 million this year to ensure we had proper depth and 15 legitimate nba players.

We should have spent an xtra 10 million in 2015 getting a real NBA Head Coach. :noway:

I still wonder whether Fred is as awful as we think he is. He was a former player,and had some success as a college coach. Will be nice to bring in a proven coach, where we are not wondering about the coach, and have more faith in him. (or her).

Might have it on for a little bit, but I have a feeling I'll be turning it off when the Windy City Bulls are down 20 by the end of 1st quarter... or by halftime at the latest. No sense in spending Friday night watching this depressing team get outplayed and outmatched in every position while our guys on the floor give less than half the effort.

Jabari will try to do too much offensively and brick so many contested long 2s you think he's building another new arena in Milwaukee. He'll take his time jogging back on defense while the Bucks murder us 5-on-4.

For the Bucks, whoever wants a career night from 3 shall have it because we won't close out properly and you'll most certainly be wide open. No need to run anything fancy either, just 1 pass from any half-ass lane penetration will do the trick!

But I really don't think anyone from the Bucks will have that great of a statline at the end of the night. After all, none of them will need to be playing after halftime.

Giannis becoming a strong MVP candidate could not have been foreseen, and wasn't. Same with Brogdon's progress. Bucks got lucky twice - but after that they have realised what they've got, and made smart moves.

We don't yet know if we have a single strong building block on the payroll. Granted, we have a couple of promising pieces, but we are still in the middle of a rebuild.

I will watch this game, hoping our significantly weaker roster at least puts up a fight.

At least we have a watchable double header on ESPN if you consider the Bulls effort watchable. The Raptors/Celtics game might be an EC finals preview.

Milwaukee is at full strength and looking to rebound after losing their first game at home this season. They have an All-Star starter and a potential second All-Star in Middleton. They have multiple veterans playing at career best levels.

The Bulls have none of those. The Bulls are a rebuilding team with young prospects that need years to develop and a couple of good players trying to rebound from major injuries. An upset is extremely unlikely.

Forgot this was Jabari's return to Milwaukee. That story-line is so insignificant now, ESPN probably regrets choosing this game.

Bud should give some guys rest.

Blowout.

Hopefully we keep it within 15 until at least halftime.

Red8911 · Post #18 » by **Red8911** » Fri Nov 16, 2018 5:31 pm

I think it will be a competitive game. Our guys will be motivated for an ESPN game then Lavine definitely wants to get back on track and Jabari is facing his old team. Obviously bucks are the favorite but I can see the bulls fighting this one.

Giannis will destroy us.
