Wait, what just happened?
Why did Giannis and Brook go to the locker room midgame?

I would honestly bet more $$$ on the Bucks making it to the 2nd round if they play the Knicks rather than the Pacers. Guess that is just me.

This is just your way to launder pessimism knowing we'll play the Pacers, who we beat 3 of 4 times in the regular season.

One of my biggest takeaways in over 30 years of following the NBA is how head to head W-L in the regular season doesn't really mean much in the playoffs.

Plus 2 of those 3 wins vs the Pacers came earlier in the season. Pacers are a much different and better team now than they were then. If the season was 84 games instead of 82, the Pacers would probably steal the #3 seed. Incredibly impressive for the Pacers considering how they started the season.

The Pacers are a very well coached, sneaky good team.

Doc vs Carlise alone puts us behind the eight-ball.

The Knicks are underachievers and I have been saying since early in the season that they give me fraudulent vibes. They seem like one of those teams that would get upset in the 1st round.

I don't think the Bucks are beating either the Knicks or Pacers in a best of 7 series. I think they would at least have a puncher's chance vs the Knicks. We'll see.

My upset pick in the 1st round would probably be the Knicks getting knocked out in the 1st round by whoever they end up playing. Us or the Pistons.

Strange because the head athletic trainer isn't in the locker room with Giannis/Brook. Makes me think it's something personal. Were there any babies due?

Kuz with that great transition defense

If it’s personal, mutiny against Doc?

Babies due for both of them?

Every time Kuz puts the ball on the floor we should just sprint back and get the defense set.

Being the 5th or 6th seed shouldn't matter now. I would assume they push for a win tomorrow but considering how important being healthy and playing in the playoffs is for Giannis I don't think they should care about these next two games now.

KPJ is a dawg! Start this man already, damnit!

KPJ on the Celtics next year is going to sting.

Idk why I thought of this but they should bring back the guess the first guy to score in the 4th and you won a 32? in tv

I think we could have won this game w/out Giannis & let him be w/ his expecting wife, not take a knock, or whatever.

They will not make it easy for us, huh?

No, youre not. And honestly that baffles me

You can make a case for either team and which would be the more favorable match up.

I just don't understand why so many are terrified of the Knicks while thinking that the Pacers are a bunch of pushovers. I think Pacers would beat the Knicks in a best of 7 series if they played right now.

A rematch with the Pacers with Giannis this time would be intriguing. That said, I'd like our chances a bit more vs the Knicks.

Bucksmaniac · Post #198 » by **Bucksmaniac** » Fri Apr 11, 2025 1:54 am

Why would Brook join Giannis if it was that? Maybe assisting?

In fairness if we let him be with his expecting wife he would never play.

It's that time of the game where the refs will try to make it closer
