Game 62: Clippers at Bucks - 3/4/24 - 7:00 - NBATV/OTA - Khris Out, Giannis Questionable

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I encourage everyone to listen to Rivers press conference from yesterday on bucks.com.

You will rarely here a coach lay out why he is playing certain defenses. He acknowledges the Bucks don't have much quickness, which means certain types of schemes are out. It also means the Bucks have to play more physical, which they have been doing.

It doesn't mean Doc is a great coach, but Bud was one of the worst I've seen in communicating anything.

Being a great in-season podcaster while being a head coach is not something I care about or even encourage. Like what tactical advantage do you have talking to the public on what your team can and cannot do?

I just had to use this opportunity to post confused Austin Rivers.

That confused Austin Rivers image has future posting applications I'll tell you what.

Doc Rivers tips his Stetson as he pulls into yet another windswept frontier town. He discharges a healthy plug of Kodiak.

He whistles lowly.

"Son, we got some unfinished bid-ness to tend to, I reckon."

<...>

120-104.

<cue the Morricone>

<realizes the game is in Milwaukee tonight. Fk>

The Los Angeles Clippers organization is the colloquial offspring in this case. Initially, I thought the game was in Los Angeles. Doc Rivers has already vanquished the Sixers and I envision tonight's contest a furtherance of his tour to exact revenge on his ex-employers. However, it is the Clips visiting tonight.

Look, I wanted to use a Western trope. Once I had momentum, I was loathe to abandon the post.

<Media follows Doc as he walks confidently through Fiserv in yellow leather jumpsuit with Hattori Hanzo sword>

Ballmer: That coach deserves his revenge, and we deserve to die.

Just found out I’m going tonight row 8 behind the Bucks bench. Going to be some of the best seats I’ve ever been in, super stoked so I assume Giannis will sit.

I request permission to re-use this gif when we get to the traditional Middleton section of the pre-game thread.

its why i think Doc is perfect for us and Giannis especially. Its clear to me Doc knows basketball and strategy wise he has the goods. and to me thats always all giannis needed

Amazing seats... Feed us Intel

Are we just done with Bally's at this point? Even with MD/PP listing where it's broadcast each game, it's a PITA that it's not just in one place anymore.

kinda seems like the nba is sick of them

[MickeyDavis]

Sure sounds as if the Bucks plan to go to the OTA/streaming plan (like the Suns have done) for next season and are testing it out. I believe the contract with Bally's is up after this season (not sure about that though). How they'll do streaming will be interesting to see

[Matches Malone]

Don't be shocked if Giannis doesn't go.

I’m not expecting a win now but they gotta at least show up and be competitive. Clippers are on the 2nd of a B2B, gotta still make this a game.

[RiotPunch]

Damn. Was hyped for this one.

[Baddy Chuck]

Need a Dame statement game.

[buckboy]

Yep. Dame 60 piece please.

[PG Graveyard]

I’m sure Dame will step up

[HKPackFan]

Damn gotta be like.....

I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW.gif
