BKN fans already talking up the opener (as in "why are we playing the Bucks, no one cares about them etc etc")

The saltiness will never die with them

I'm loving it. It brings me life to read the pain behind their dismissive tweets.

Edit: There's also some real nuts over on the BKN forum. It's an entertaining read if you get bored.

There's two or three loonies on that site, the biggest being the guy Prokorov, who came here before the Nets series and was as nice as can be, saying how great the Bucks were. Then, when Kyrie got hurt, he said that Giannis was a dirty player and that it wasn't a basketball play. Him and a few others applauded Giannis's injury, hoping for the worst.

In my view, they have the most talent in the league and should win it, so beating the Nets will be something to look forward to. I think their top three are great players. I just don't like the artificial construction of teams like this.

2 of their 3 are great but extremely flawed, and the rule changes will be tough on Harden, because drawing fouls is all he has left. He's lost so much speed and his shooting has regressed significantly. His disdain for conditioning is really catching up to him.

For the Nets, it's all about Durant. It will be interesting to see what Ojeleye does with him.

PJ will go all Andre Rison with that ring

Take it to a strip club?
I might be missing a reference.

Pretty sure Rison sold his ring. Jim McMahon claimed to have thrown his into a river or something.

Thought rison supposedly threw it in the river but later said it was a made up rumor.

Wasn't rison the guy who also left his car at the airport when he left town?

Rison was the one that said he threw it in the river but recently said that wasn’t true, apparently a chick is holding on to it for him?

Rison loves being part of the 96 team.


Back in 2011 I was in Dallas the Saturday before the superbowl, at a retired LBs bar I forgot his name now. He just opened up a bar and had a huge Packers party with a couple hundred people and called a bunch of guys from the 96 team.

Freeman, Henderson, maybe 7-10 guys. And rison was there and loving it. I had a giant Packers flag and got everyone to sign it and he signed it, "bad moon rison" or something like that.

So that made me think he is part of Packers lore and does associate himself with that team even if it was for only a couple months.

And just like PJ the Packers didn't even offer him a contract.

PJ is forever a buck and forever a champion. No matter where his career takes him.

Well, I'm not just picking and choosing the 10 game sample while ignoring the other 44 games he played with that team where in total he averaged 14.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1 steal on 57/46/75. That's not hyperbole. That is highly productive.

Selectively choosing the strongest league is pretty relevant to measuring production and quality prior to stepping up to NBA imo.

What's your source on those stats? As far as I can see the only time he averaged 14.9ppg was a 12 game sample from the Euro Cup.

Like I said, highly productive.

That's fair. I'll concede that his stats across domestic leagues were better than I had previously realised but defend the use of Euro League stats as his most pertinent pre-NBA numbers irrespective of the relatively small sample size.

When do single game tickets for the regular season go on sale?

Dude a b***h, just a pure cornball coming over here with that condescending, fake nice guy act because the nets board is dead and it’s only 100 real nets fans, everybody else is Kd, Harden, Kyrie bandwagon fans. “No I really think you guys are going to beat us, btw here’s a long essay about why the nets have every advantage in the series” .

As soon as they lose now the “bucks don’t matter, who cares about them” like people were talking about the nets before the beginning of this past season.

Anyway I’m excited to start this next season, I see people saying they want to savor this run but them calling the bucks the defending champs on every national game is going to just as sweet IMO. I miss basketball so much even though the turnaround is so short.

My main wish for next season is load managing while also somehow getting at least the 2 seed. I know that sounds funny but I think the bucks can do it with some of buds overachieving role player magic. Health obviously and hca til at least the ecf will be super important I think.

I noticed on the Bucks roster page that Hill will be wearing 33 and Hood will be wearing 32. Thought these two numbers were retired by the Bucks.

32 - Brian Winters, number retired on Oct 28th, 1983.

I bet it’s a mistake — they still have guys like Teague and Forbes still listed, and also no number for Mamukelashvili, who will be 54

I think there are enough other inaccuracies on this page to discount the number assignments.

[RogerMurdock]

According to the Bucks' page, Blue Edwards and Brad Lohaus form the best NBA Jam team of all time.

Whoever is responsible for updating the website on the backend is always slow to do it. You won't see updated anything until everyone has gotten a chance to take a new headshot during media day.

We should sit Khris and Jrue on opening night so miraculously the Bucks win regardless. Would be an epic troll job.

[Turk Nowitzki]

I was perusing the Nets board to see their thoughts on opening night against us. We really broke that Prokorov dude. I swear he was here being the model of class and civil discourse on our board during that playoff series and now he's over there ranting like a crazy person that nobody cares about the Bucks and the Bucks don't matter, fake ring, etc. etc.

I am convinced someone killed him and took over his account. There's no way it's the same person.

Lmao yeah I know exactly who you're talking about. Came here to do the whole "sorry guys but you still have a shot, the Bucks are a great team" when the Nets were winning the series only to become a total salt mine once the Nets started losing.

The Euroleague numbers are pretty good, though, too. /36 you're looking at 13.9 points, 9.7 boards (2.8 offensive), 2.5 assists. Whether you'd want to call it "highly productive" or not is a matter of personal preference but they're good numbers, just not crazy numbers like what he did in the Bundesliga.

They have some good posters to be sure and don’t want to generalize at all but their bad posters are some of the biggest losers in all of RealGM lol. Prokorov dropped the BS nice guy act the moment we beat them, right after the series ended. Then you have that DollarBills dude having a nuclear meltdown praying for Giannis to blow out his knees
