Go for the win, but if we're down big at the half, sit every one ands get ready to win 3 straight.

If Giannis is out indefinitely - and that appears likely to be the case - cut the crap and just announce it. Stop stringing the fans along who have watched hours upon hours of subpar basketball all regular season with the Playoffs being the end goal. Also, if he and Dame are healthy come next April 1, shut them both down for the last month of the season (provided a playoff spot is all but wrapped up) and take whatever fine the league doles out. This current window likely ends after next season so everything they do has to be about being healthy for the Playoffs.

Tonight is going to be a sad night. The penultimate to the end of an era.

Who gives a **** about playing it straight with the fans?? If it gives the Pacers even a second of thinking that he might play there’s absolutely zero reason to announce it.

With next season’s starting SG spot up for grabs, some big games from AJ and AJax would go a long way towards making the off-season more bearable.

AJJ and Green will both be rotation players next year regardless. Bucks will be pretty nasty next season with an offseason to retool and much more cohesion with the big 3. That's something to make the offseason more bearable.
And basketball is a strange sport, maybe we win tonight somehow and Giannis comes back for game 5 I didn't hear no bell

You are living in a complete fantasy world, you were so confident he’d be back a game of two ago. You were also confident in Griffin, who is the reason we’re in this injury situation, he had to ride these players to the most minutes they’ve played early in the season to squeak out wins in an easy early schedule because he was in over his head. Not that Doc is much better.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Well our team has to rely on a player ShootingtheJ thinks is a complete bum now, so it doesn’t make sense to have optimism.

Midds was done according to board consensus pre game 3. Bucks were sure to lose. nearly didn't & KMidd had a career night.
Heat took the Cs without Butler in game 2. Bucks can get Indy without Giannis & Dame. Sh-- happens.

Indy would have to throw up a nuclear stinker. I'm not sure in a world of infinite universes that's possible. I'm just hoping we get Giannis back soon. I have a feeling Dame is going to be out for a while.soxperry wrote:I shouldn't do this to myself but there is a universe where Indy throws up a stinker tonight and Giannis comes back for game 5. Khris and Giannis can win this series from there.
Maybe Dame comes back for round 2 or 3

Who is the player we now need to rely on? I'm thinking to pull off the upset, we need big games from Khris, Bobby, AJJ, and Green. None of them are turds.

If Spo was our coach, sure we’d have an outside shot. Doc is no Spo though.

Giannis and Dame should both be in for the first play just to **** with Pacer's player's heads, then take them both out and they can put their boots on and sit on the bench.
