Game 55: Bucks at Hawks - 4/15/21 - 6:30 - BSWI/TNT

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Thu Apr 15, 2021 12:40 am

Bogdan vs. Donte. Bogdan missed the first game but will be playing Thursday night.

Hawks have been playing well without Young or Gallanari. Both are questionable.

Possible first round matchup.

Bud revenge game.

Starters didn't have to play much Wednesday, everyone should be fine for this one.

Giannis still questionable. Games are spread out now, Thursday, Saturday, Monday, Thursday, Saturday. Let's see if they ease him back in.

SNELL IS OUT

Would be nice to put some room between here and the 4th seed. Got some tough games coming up (though I can't really find a difference between the 3rd and 4th seed besides bragging rights

In or out, there is a good chance he'd have the same stat line in both situations.

Was looking forward to watching Snell torch us from 3 and wonder what would be 'if only we held onto him'.

We've come a long way since Snell was our 3rd or 4th best player under Kidd.

Start Thanasis on Bogdan, that will suck the joy of life out of him.

Obviously there will be a lot of Bogdan/Donte comparisons tonight. But Bogdan will be the first option with Young out or the 2nd option if Young plays and Donte is the 4/5 option depending on Giannis. It's not apples/apples based on the box score.

Bucks would be in big trouble if DDV was our 1st or 2nd option.

This Bogdan fixation is starting to take on "Why didn't we keep Dirk?" proportions, and to me is just as illogical.

However, to understand the hidden meaning, let's turn to anagrams for guidance, the way the ancients read chicken entrails.

DONTE DIVINCENZO

Hey, I can read these tea leaves. Things worked out just fine.

120-104. Tonight's the night.

That never stopped Thanasis!

The Hawks are decimated by injury. No Collins, Hunter, or Reddish either. But, to their credit, they've been playing well. It will be interesting to see how they play the PnR against Capela. Per usual, he's been feasting on drop-offs and lobs, but I'd rather the Bucks play against the pick and ROLL vs the pick and POP. Over/under on Capela dunks? I'm at 4.

I'd love to see Donte guard Bogdan, but I think he'll be matched up on Huerter. Pretty sure we'll be seeing Bogdan lighting up Khris again.

This is what he will be referred to in my house from here on out.

I'll probably just go with "Doc Bob".

I think word we're looking for here is: HISTORIC. How many times are we going to see two players square off from a list of all-time greats? https://studentunionsports.com/the-greatest-red-headed-basketball-players-of-all-time/

For the record, I stand in solidarity with Gingers everywhere in the belief Dennis Rodman has no place on these lists.

Looking forward to my unearned arrogance after Jrue puts the clamps on Bogdan.

First injury report lists both Giannis and DDV (toe) as questionable.
