Game 43: Bucks at Clippers - 1/25/25 - 9:30 - FDSWI

Bucks go for their 6th straight, starting a 4 game road trip (Clippers, Jazz, Blazers, Spurs). Clippers had their full team available Thursday night, it's rare. Kawhi has only played 8 games. Whether everyone plays against us remains to be seen. Kawhi is bubble wrapped more than Khris (who I assume will play but who the hell knows).

We have one more loss than the Knicks, three more than the Celtics, pretty crazy after starting 2-8.

Let's keep it going.

As usual, please keep the discussion in this thread on this game only, trade stuff in the team thread. THX.

Hopefully Khris plays. Did they say why he didn't play yesterday?

TNT telecast said it was just injury/surgery maintenance.

Fun fact, even though he's only 18 games in Khris has the highest net rating on the team for our 20+ min players. But please, go on.

Could Gannis just try to take a jump shot at the free throw line instead of just a free throw? Would that be legal? What do you got to lose ?

At least I'm staying positive and predicting wins. I think the following things can all be true: KM is our 3rd most talented player, KM plays well with GA, BUT his health and mobility can hurt the team and lose big leads (especially in lineups with BP).

My official predictions:
W 130 - 114
Bucks in 4

After sufficient data is achieved, I believe it will show that Prince, GTJ and Dame become unlocked without KM playing.

That's not the bright lights of LA, them's the reflected shine sparkling off Our Glistening Maestro of the Midrange, Kris (sp?) Middleton.

Not a tough road trip but it will be one to show how much we've improved. Road record is still below .500 but we're 3-1 in January.

Small sample size, but the Clips are 5-1 with Kawhi playing. If he's going tomorrow it will be a pretty good test on the road.

Green is out. Middleton and Giannis are probable. Nothing on the Clippers yet.

It's legal, you just risk stepping over the line.

To spend a fortune and go see the Bucks in Balmer's World or to watch on TV...

They all got hot when Khris got back. Nice try though. Prince had 3 points with Khris out last night. That's unlocked?
