Win or lose, I still think this will be one of the basketball games of all time.

It would be very Bucks to get our guys back only for Indy to shoot the absolute **** out of the ball again and win anyway.
Though I think if we can avoid letting them run up a huge lead in the 1st quarter again there's really no reason why they should completely run away with it.

Mark my words: If either Bucks hater Fraher or Kennedy is crew chief tonight, the assignment is to end their season.

Kennedy is bad. For as much hate as Brothers and Foster get, Kennedy gets so much of a pass. All three try to make the game more about them than the players.

If both are out there is no way we should win. Even when both were playing we were not very good on the road.

I don't know what time the shootaround is this morning but I'll be rabidly checking the injury report for the 1% chance either is upgraded to questionable.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

We also don't know doc long enough to know how many "very" are required to mean he's coming back.
Is "very close" mean 2 weeks?
Is "very very close" mean 1 week?
Is "very very very close" mean 48hrs? (which is what got yesterday).
Or is it all camouflage and it just means," he's progressing"

Tony Brothers again! Wow! Surprised he’d be back on after doing second game of series. Not sure what to make of it.

Yup, I said it yesterday. Winning a 2nd, in Indy, without Giannis or Dame is going to be super tough. Especially if our role players revert to their normal performance. We won because Pat x2, Bobby, and the rest of the gang all stepped up. Need a perfect game without Giannis/Dame.

As much as I would enjoy our scrubs sending those Hoosiers home tonight with long faces and drooping pom-poms, I'd still prefer to see a couple of missing 30-point scorers on the court.
I don't think they will be, though, so it's probably got to be Khris and friends again. I think he can do it.
Even if it were possible, and Dame and Giannis played and we won, then you have the decision whether they would be able to go for Game 7 with only a day of recovery time. No, I think we're stuck with this ragtag bunch.

Because he alleviates congestion by having above average range for a big, a good nick name for Miles Turner (sp?) is the Indiana Spacer feel free to use, no big deal.

The Pacers and their wack ass home crowd are going to be tight. Keep this close and they'll crumble.

Yeah, I was honestly shocked by how quiet they were. Maybe it was the broadcast, but Hali's whole "our regular season is louder than Fiserv playoff games" comment was a joke. I wonder what our resident crowd expert here thought of that display.

A professional athlete who is fixated on crowd decibels is a loser. Just play the game, disgrace to the Fox Cities.
And a little less of the primal screams, please, every time you make a basket. When Kevin Garnett started the scream thing many years ago I thought it would die out quickly, but now here we are with half the league doing it. The obnoxious half.

Any word on Giannis and Dame? If we can even get Dame back tonight we got a real chance to force a game 7. And if Giannis comes back, there’s a real chance we can still have the season we all thought we could be in for when we acquired Dame. This team is so weird but for some reason and maybe it’s the homer I am, but a part of me still believes this is a championship team somehow. The adversity we’ve fought through this series is astounding and deserves a lot of recognition. If we can survive this round I think we can still get to the finals. Bucks in 7 baby let’s **** go!
RIP Kobe Forever. GOAT 8-24. Long Live Giannis

Expectations do a hell of a lot to a fan’s psyche.
It’s a lot easier to get loud when you’re the plucky underdog dishing it out to the favorite. Indy is the favorite in this series without our two best players, and I think that’s messing with the Indy fanbase.
We should know, we’ve had plenty of experience in both positions over the years.
When you’re the favorite, I think every play and action gets tirelessly contextualized as to whether this is meaningful or will work against some other opponent. When you’re the underdog, you’re just more likely to be present.
