considering the pressure there is on this team to, AT LEAST, repeat their successes from last season....and build upon it........

i figure this will be the most stressful season any of us has ever watched.

No way. We're **** good. We're not worrying about getting out of the basement, we're not worried about the team leaving, we've seen our team absolutely collapse in the ECF, and we're running it back trying to win a championship. We're not the new kids on the block anymore. Team's will fear us.

If you have the "because we're the Bucks and have nice things" stress? Sorry? We're not anymore?

I have no stress for this up coming season. We are a very good team. Sit back and enjoy.

The good news is those will be few and far between so the chatter will be minimal.

Oh, we Wisconsin sports fans are such a traumatized bunch. Fear not, remember...

how one can simultaneously hate signing our 2nd best player and best option at retaining or gaining talent last offseason and worry about Giannis leaving because we are not good enough is mind boggling to me

'Giannis might leave if we are not contending but we shouldn't pay the price it takes to keep us contending' like ??????????

Your second best player needs to play like the second best player before you call him that though.

Are the bucks better with Middleton and his contract or with Brogdon and his?
Also,should they have traded him before getting to the point of either losing him for nothing or overpaying him massively?

Yes, the Bucks should have traded Middleton when they held the best record in the NBA at the trade deadline :banghead:

Yes that's the only time they could have traded him :roll:

Middleton was arguably our fourth best player during the regular season behind Bledsoe (definitely) and possibly Brogdon (when healthy).

Those are cool. I still think the orange are the best.

Agreed, love mine. Still think the 90s nostalgia of the giant iridescent swoosh is gonna get me for these, too :lol:

Is this a bit?

I think the new normal will be that the Giannis poaching will continue even after he signs a 5 year super max contract.

Paul George established the new precedent by forcing a trade only one year into a new contract that paid him more than he could get from any other team. Having a player under contract does not provide a team with the security it once did.

just wondering, because I don't remember, but was there all this talk about Dirk leaving? Are we just living in a different time?

Well, Dirk signed a 3 year extension with a third year player option 2 years before his rookie extension ran out...

love the idea, love those blue dots on the back very much. very cool.

however...

is this area of the shoe an issue? rest of the shoe looks great, this looks like they super glued it on last minute. i've seen this on the other stock photos that popped up. certainly not something i want to spend $120 on.

Nah, not a part I’m concerned about on the ones I already have. Don’t see that piece detaching or coming apart now or even down the road, probably just an image misconception
