Round 1, Game 6 - Bucks at Pacers - 5/2/24 - 5:30 - TNT/BSWI

Giannis officially listed as out per NBA injury report

I can't imagine we will see Giannis in this series if he's not playing tonight.

Giannis out

[Bernman]

This was the opposite pre-game outcome I was hoping for: Dame in, Gianni out. Hopefully it's the reverse during it.

[MuckyFingers]

With a loss there will be a flood of "I knew Dame shouldn't play" posts.

Even if he scores 40 and looks great.

[WiscoKing13]

Tyrese still listed as questionable which is interesting.

Yup. It's after every loss "I knew...."

Not w/ a loss (it's putting a better foot fw, no pun intended), but if he aggravates the injury, it would be a double whammy.

He's in

Would be absolutely remarkable to win this series without Giannis and we would still have people trying to get him out of Milwaukee. Sickos

Just praying Dame doesn't hurt his Achilles further

I’ve never seen a fanbase so terrified of a potential injury with a four-month off-season looming and meaningful basketball eight months away. My God people.

It's more that an Achilles injury is usually devastating career wise, especially for players in their 30's.

[MuckyFingers]

Stipulated. But no team is guaranteed anything beyond the next game. Looking to next year is a pointless exercise in the middle of a playoff run.

Dame 60 points to force a game 7

His trade value would fall 90% and likely not play at all next year. We would be so screwed.

[BigO]

Can't watch it, but with Dame in, I change my no chance prediction to a 32.5% chance.

We're rational. You're not. We're likely to lose this series anyway, w/ 2 games to win, 1st on the road. That's the benefit. The risk is he's maybe done for next season w/ a catastrophic achilles tear, never the same at his age, that kills a core asset & 3 1st rders.

Actually, unless it's all pure gamesmanship, it seems like they mean it when they say he's getting closer. If they were truly considering it tonight and it was a gametime decision then another 48 hours could do it

[jimmybones]

Dame def gives us a better chance to win so I'm excited about that and I hate to be that guy but him playing also means a loss would be that much more of a let down.
