Do people even watch the games. Lol

Sometimes I don't.

Of course. Most here are not casual or fair weather fans. We watch. Sure it's frustrating sometimes. 29 teams won't win the championship this year. It doesn't mean we stop watching our team.

I was just wondering how people come up with player evaluations? Not questioning loyalties. Although I swear some people are bigger fans of players rather then the team.

I think he’s referring to Middleton being a non factor which is true.

Because of his availability, I’ll agree. But when he’s on the court we’re just a flat out better team. Guys watch him fumble the ball a couple times and then ignore the rest of the time where he’s been as productive as he’s ever been.

Khris is injury prone, and it’s frustrating as hell. But anybody saying he’s not good can’t be taken serious.

Yes, I misunderstood the question. Sorry about that msiris

He is not as good as he use to be. Injuries has a lot to do with it. Yes he is the 3rd best player but that's by default because there is no one behind him.

I've watched more than I did last year as I'm not a busy, but, I find myself turning them off before they're done due to the Bucks lack of giving a **** and not being that great of a team. Would be nice to get on a good run here but I'm not sure we can do it.

Need to see the bench get more consistent. It's so frustrating seeing 5 guys go 50% from deep one game, then 10% the next 2.

Not as good as he used to ≠ non-factor. I think he’s as good as he’s been the last few years, just not playing the same amount of minutes because of injuries which factors into rating him. But anybody saying he’s not good or a non factor isn't paying attention.

Kings 7-1 and 7 in a row since firing Brown. Young athletic motivated team. I don't have high hopes for this but they have no one stop Giannis.

[yannisk]

This is gonna be a character game for us. MUST WIN.

character game is a double edged sword, it could be bored, tired, disinterested

But if Giannis is still having issues with his hand that really does impact us more than we probably care to admit. He'll still score, but not as efficiently, and we lose some of the rebounding, blocking etc that he brings. He's been off his game for a couple of weeks now and it's really showing, with the last game being the first one for the year where he shot under 50% from the field.

i had a post deleted i assume for being overly negative but i wasnt intending it to be much more than tongue in cheek.

ill try again.... this team and FTD, which was one of our alltime fav squads.... both have similar ceilings imo. FTD was limited talent try hards but they all bought in and played the right way and we LOVED that team because of it. they still werent going anywhere if we were honest. but we saw the way they played and there was this hopeful aspect about the future.

this years team is perhaps the greatest assembly of talent weve ever had in uniform. its tough to watch because theyre old and miss games and they cruise and they seem like they dont always buy in. there is a sense of inevitability here where we also know next year wont be better and the following year most likely worse.

in the end i think if you embrace the fact we still have a season going on where....
1. we win more than we lose
2. we have a great shot at the 2nd round or maybe even the ECF if we stay healthy
.... then we can enjoy this run until its over for good and we most likely go back to nba hell.

I think viewership is down in the league for a variety of reasons but many of those reasons apply to our frustration with our team. we kind of need to just hope were healthy and wait for the playoffs. we;ll remember this season based off of whatever happens then

I was watching the game on ESPN classic and someone missed a shot.

Fking classic, man.

For some reason, I just read the thread title and pictured Middleton trying to score from first on a ball in the gap.

i was thinking more a line drive to right field and he got thrown out at first

[kanyon]

I mean, I wanted to move Khris in the summer time and was piled on for it...

Everything that's happening now with the team as a whole was pretty evident then. I guess with Khris's ankle surgery it really didn't matter.

Khris wasn't eligible for trade in the summer.

Need to win games like these. Dame has to prove he is actually an al star still and not just coast on name recognition from his Portland years. Let's go Bucks! I hope for a big game from AJ/GTJ etc.

[mediocrityrules]

Is GTJ back?

[MickeyDavis]

Monk has been really good during their streak. Helps us that he's out tonight.

[Fotis St]

All I care about is to watch Brook get out rebounded by Dame Lillard ... What a circus we are

Brook average 4 7 Rebounds
Lillard average 4.4 Rebounds

This is the epic battle to watch
