Game 71: Bucks at Suns - 3/24/25 - 9:00 - NBATV/FDSWI

[sidney lanier]

If the Bucks win tonight, they'll be 9-4 without Dame. If that happens, it's probably time for some to rethink their opinions of Doc and Dame.

I’m all for it if we can get talent back. But if we do, I think it will be a huge indictment on Giannis if he can’t play with that guy too.

Don't we learn from our mistakes?

When a guy can make shots by the gallon
There's really no good rationale in
Just trading for parts
Now you're just throwing darts
And you end up with Glove for Ray Allen

[MickeyDavis]

Normally I limit posts in game threads to the game itself so it doesn't get derailed. But the first game against Bud was always going to be about Bud so we've gone down that road.

In the meantime we have to endure Tyler Ford as the crew chief tonight.

[Ron Swanson]

Honestly don't know if Beal being out helps or hurts our chances tonight.

Ol' Girl Jenny Beal > Bradley Beal

When posed the question "Did you circle this game on the calendar (THROWBACK!)?" Bud answered "Yeah-no."

When Bud looks at the West standings.

C’mon man I’ve just checked who they’ve played in those games and it’s not impressive at all. These agendas are out of control.

It's actually such a hilarious grouping of games

Toronto win, Barnes and Quickley out.
Detroit overtime win, 59 points from Giannis, Pat Connaughton team high +24
Charlotte loss
Cleveland 23 point loss
Washington win, neither Dame or Giannis played.
Chicago win, Giddey out (for pp), neither Dame or Giannis played.
Brooklyn loss, neither Dame or Giannis played.
OKC blowout loss - Nobody played, Chris Livingston started
Minnesota win, DDV, Conley and Randle out. Neither Dame or Giannis played, the beginning of the "Kuzgod" era.
Washington win, Giannis minutes restrictions, the cap stone of the "Kuzgod" era.
LA win, LeBron, Luka, Reaves, Rui, DFS and Vanderbilt out.
Sacramento win, Sabonis out.

Tyler Ford, 3rd game of a west coast trip, no Dame, Bobby, or Sims, Bud revenge game, Suns healthy on a 3 game win streak with 2 days rest.

If we pull this out, I'll be thoroughly impressed, and might even call us contenders again.

Would it be ok if I just think the Suns suck?

Yepper his agenda has fu... gone cocko for coco puffs bsd.Every single game win ir lose his agenda n only agenda is to bash dame.pretty fu.. pathetic that this dude spends post after post hammering on the dude wont ever give hom credit for a good game like he does when gfeen makes 4 3pts but will constantly bring up plus n minus when everyone including my 90 year old granny knows those stats mean **** n yet when someone post a good plus for dame he blows it off n says well doesnt count just 1 game

Not to him cause thats not his agenda n he will maje a point agsin to talk about 1 guy only n how this team is better without him.
So then if the bucks go 12-3 without giannis using Js reasoning bucks shoukd look to trade gisnnis then

Dame is out

Phoenix is in try hard mode, I would definitely sit Giannis this game. He's got plenty of leeway to make the 65 cutoff, no sense in risking injury. Were not in much danger of dropping to 7, likely 0 chance of 4 and can basically control our destiny for 5 or 6 with the 2 games against the Pistons eoy.

Wait. There's an ignore feature?

Now I know why no one responds to my posts. Am I just talking to myself? I don't need RealGm to do that.

Lol, if you don't like the message, just kill the messenger. Meanwhile, the Bucks are dramatically better all season long when a $48.7 player sits the bench. Keep your head in the sand, and enjoy losing.

Are the Bucks bad when Giannis plays? No, they're awesome. Don't try to put words in my mouth, or at least spell them right when making up my words.

The Bucks are awesome when Giannis plays with KPJ or Rollins at PG, just like they were with Giannis and Jrue, or Bledsoe, or Hill...

I'm not the only who recognized the Dame problem, so stop with your Shooting the J agenda, and comment on the issue, or don't. My agenda, as always, is winning.

[BUCKnation]

I think we play much worse with Giannis and no Dame vs Dame and no Giannis, mainly due to depth. Before KPJ, we didn't really have anyone to replicate what Dame does. With KPJ now, we should be more competitive.

Usually with no Giannis, we can replace him with Bobby and he does his thing to a 20/10 statline.

[JayMKE]

The enduring Bud fandom remains weird. Sure his one plan got figured out years ago and he had no inclination to change, but we've since hired bad coaches so we should have stuck with Bud. There are definitely no other options in the whole world for coaches so the logic checks out.

I mean we could have just as easily hired Monty Williams or Mark Jackson too remember that, it’s knowing what we know now about that process & the Giannis influence. So yeah in a vacuum we should have stuck with Bud, there’s no way we’d be in a worse spot than now.

Our last two playoff runs with Bud were totally derailed by injuries + not having a suitable wing defender more so than Bud’s lack of adjustments or being found out.

It would've been cool to see what he did in the playoffs last year with no Giannis and a one-armed Beverley.

[MickeyDavis]

Portis, Pat, Giannis and Brook are the last 4 remaining from the championship team. Green was on the team during Bud's last year. Bobby traveled with the team but can't be in the arena. This isn't much of a "reunion".

Every game is a reunion for Prunty, though.
