He's doing this to troll Bucks fans. Otherwise have you ever remembered a single thing he's written or said? This is his thing.

Spends days writing articles about Giannis leaving the Bucks and then when he doesn't get his way, pouts and says we are no better than a playoff team.

Would feel way more comfortable with this team if we brought in a steady hand like Marcus Smart :lol:

I stopped reading his stuff a while back. His takes are all just flat consensus and his writing style is "casual but not fun". All his stuff reads to me like an 8th grad persuasive essay by the class's middle-funniest kid. I don't get why he's there.

I tried watching Locked on bucks for the first time since Nehm and Frank were doing it and man I just do not find the new hosts entertaining at all.

Think I mentioned that it felt like we were headed toward Kris Johnson eventually replacing Marques and just want to put my stamp of approval on that prospective move.

I sure hope so. Novak full time would be awful.

I was thinking this the other day also after hearing him on LOB. Much better than Novak. Anything is, but still.

Still waiting for one if you guys to answer my questions on the Dame waive and stretch in the other thread. Because last week LOB had on a Brewhoop guy explaining it, and I think he may have been very wrong in his interpretation of whether Dame himself actually lost some money from the Bucks as an offset to his Portland contract.

Don’t look at me, I didn’t make it 15 minutes into that show!

Their analysts will be Brent Barry, Blake Griffin, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Candace Parker, Stan Van Gundy and Dwyane Wade. They will rotate with Eagle and Harlan, sometimes it will be 2 on the broadcast, sometimes 3. Nash, Parker and Wade will switch between studio and games.

Harlan is good and Ian Eagle is very good. If only they could also get Brian Anderson.

Bucks management should resign in shame after Holiday-Lillard trade disaster

Letters to the Editor

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

This is in regard to the July 25 article, “Star Lillard on being waived: ‘It definitely was a shocker.’”

The Milwaukee Bucks management gave away Jrue Holiday two years ago to obtain Damian Lillard, which I believe has proven to be a complete and utter disaster. Just days before that terrible trade, Holiday was covered in a Journal Sentinel article covering how much he liked Milwaukee and loved playing here.

Instead, management rewarded that loyalty by trading him for a so called "superstar," and now two years later, The Bucks have nothing to show for it. They’ve now agreed to pay Lillard anyway with this waiver, while Jrue is in Portland.

What complete nonsense! Bucks management should resign in shame. The last two years have proven that they are incompetent to any average fan.

I don't understand a sports network that has honest to god contempt for sports.

I stopped enjoying Bill Simmons years ago, but he typically hires/employs decent basketball writers. But the current Ringer staff is uninspiring. Michael Pina has especially bizarre Bucks takes.

The most recent Ringer NBA article had this to say about the Pacers: Outside of Hali, the entire roster that slayed the Bucks, crushed the Cavs, shocked the Knicks, and pushed the Thunder to their absolute limit is back. Not a single mention of Turner. Who's editing this garbage?

Surprisingly, the article actually had nice things to say about the Bucks.

Shocked they didn't have Micro Pina do the Bucks' write up.

Sidenote: Pina thinking the Raptors are going to be better than us this coming season is one of the best bits

EDIT: "The Indiana Pacers will win more games than they did last season." What kind of clowns does this place employ?!

I am thinking about getting rid of DirecTV. What streaming services carry Bucks and Brewers games?
