Just want to add that I love the growing international exposure in pre-season. I know it's been a part of it for a number of years, but the NBA really has this expansion on lockdown. It looks healthy.



Good game in Portland tonight

Jameer Nelson and Afflalo are mirroring the Bucks veteran play tonight. Both are currently -26 on the night to go along with piss poor shooting. Tobes on the other looks seems to be having a good game. Dipo also looks to be playing well.

Both Bucks and Magic fans are going to rip their hair out watching vets stink it up while actual talent sits on the bench.

At least with the Magic you know those vets actually have a really high chance of being traded, we're more likely to trade for more vets.

Bet the Bucks get a game in Greece next season if they want it.

Afflalo was infuriating last year. He played like he was Kobe.

If he plays like that again this year, they should just bench his dumb ass.

Kevin Martin leaves with Achilles injury

Kevin Martin played just six minutes and missed the second half of the Timberwolves preseason game on Wednesday due to a sore right Achilles heel.
He was reportedly held out for precautionary reasons, but it's impossible to predict how long an injury like this could linger. Keep an eye on his status for his next preseason game and going forward.



Glad the Bucks dodged this bullet.

They should play Panathinaikos, that would be awesome. Good call!

And give Golden Dawn the chance to snuff Giannis?

Sending an NBA team to Greece is a horrific idea. If not Giannis, the murder of a black NBA player would be a PR boon for these psychopaths.

I wish this was a joking matter, but they are a very dangerous proto-fascist group.

The Bucks wouldn't be safe in Greece.

In a television interview on Tuesday, Golden Dawn leader Nikos Michaloliakos likened Greek basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo to a 'chimpanzee'

Can't let guys like that get off so easy. If they did anything dumb during a Bucks visit, the USA would put the hammer down.

Ignorance like that needs to be confronted, not feared.

What do you think "anything dumb" entails? Explain why Golden Dawn would care about the USA putting the "hammer down." They'd put the hammer down on what?

You don't appear to have any idea what Golden Dawn is capable of or what they are.

Confronting ignorance like Golden Dawn by sending an NBA team into that country could very well end in deaths.

Phil Pressey impressing bringing Boston from way back to up 1 with 20 secs left.

Phil Pressey has 13 pts, 7 asts, 2 stls and just scored the go ahead layup as the Celtics reserves erased a 19 point deficity to take the lead with 20 seconds left.

Tim Hardaway Jr came back and scored a nice baseline jumper and has 16 points himself.

This is a good look at a couple guys I liked before the draft.

I'm not suggesting sending the Bucks in to confront Golden Dawn.. I'm saying I wouldn't decline an invitation to play a game in Greece because of these guys, obvious security measures in place.

So purely from a basketball perspective and aside from Dirk this Dallas team may be the least likeable roster in the history of basketball.

It's going to hurt watching a single game of theirs this season. Kudos Mr Cuban, that is one steaming pile to piss away the end of Dirk's career.

Also Jon Leuer had 17/10/5 today versus the Mavs.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
