I wouldn't say it's house money. It's a year in a championship window. If he can go he should go. But he's got to be honest with the medical staff and they've got to keep him out if he shouldn't be playing. My guess is that's what will happen. They have a MRI on campus?

House money? More like we came into the casino big spenders, lost our entire bankroll betting on black 6 times in a row, and now just found a chip on the floor. Thats what we’re playing with. A floor chip.

The things he is doing that aren't working are entirely due to the coach, who is putting him in this position.

It's been well documented on this site and elsewhere that when they put Gannis down low, the offense works much better against Miami. It's also the case the Bucks are more productive running PNR with Giannis. Yet Bud continues to put Giannis at the top. Is that Giannis's fault.

Same with three point shooting. The coach has told Giannis to keep shooting threes, even though it makes no sense. He was 0-7 in game three from the three point line. If Bud told him to stop, he would.

Giannis is one of the most intelligent bball players on the team. But he is also very obedient to his coach, to the detriment of his team.

On the orthopedic front, one of the things that has been nice is that there is an MRI Center right on campus.

“By having that readily available, we can take a player right after the game to get an MRI to better evaluate the soft tissue. You want to understand what is the role of the soft tissue because ultimately that’s going to determine whether the player practices or plays.”

maybe Miami will catch a cold spell like the Rockets

There is that.

Miami's bread and butter is their defense and team committee on offense. I think today's matchup expose them a bit. One would think with Giannis being out that the Heat would crank up their offense to run the Bucks out of the bubble. That to me shows a crack intheir offense. In spite of the team unity on offense, they don't have that player on their offense who can take over their offense enough to put a team on their backs. JB and Bam may come close.

IMO keep switching onto Herro and abuse him as often as possible. defense is the key for Milwaukee to win this series. every 24 seconds matters like it's your life on the line. no careless turnovers. energy and effort TM
