Game 47: Memphis at Milwaukee - 2/2/25 - 7:30 - ESPN/FDSWI 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Sat Feb 1, 2025 3:59 pm

After going 1-3 on a relatively easy 4 game road trip we now have a daunting back to back with Memphis/at OKC.

I don't think any of our starters should play B2B, they have been logging heavy minutes. Khris too of course should sit one out. I'd probably rest everyone for this one, give them an extra day off and then play at OKC. But since Memphis is a home game that's probably not how it will go.

Memphis has played really well. Ja missed their last game with a shoulder injury. This is the first of a B2B for them too so maybe he sits this one out.

Memphis whipped us the first meeting, Ja had a triple double.

As usual, please keep the posts in this thread on this game only. All trade/transaction talk should go in the team thread. Thx.

Play the Memphis game and punt the OKC game. Brook definitely needs a night off. We are running him into the ground and the last few games it really showed.

Hard to give Brook a night off until Bobby gets back

Only thing interesting is the trade deadline.

I think that's just what Brook looks like these days.

I want to see Ja do a 720-degree spin dunk from the free throw line and we're just the team he could pull it off against.

Ja is doubtful. Bobby out. Everyone else is playing.

The Bucks have submitted their injury report for Sunday vs. the Grizzlies. Out: Bobby Portis Jr. (Personal Reasons) Liam Robbins (G League) Stanley Umude (G League)

————-//////////

Portis still out is interesting.

Good to infer that AJ Johnson is available and Tyler Smith.

Gotta bounce back and get at least one of these next two. Would be really disappointed if we slide back into the play-in mess.

Obviously not a Bobby guy but having just Giannis and Brook (especially in his current state) as our only bigs is so **** brutal man. Issues compounded by the fact that we're starting Dre (like him but he's not ready to be a starter IMO) and Prince (getting a tad embarrassing that we're starting him in 2025).

He's not coming back. If Ja is out definitely should go hard to win this one at home and then punt the OKC game.

Des Bane had been playing PG lately, and playing it well. Grizzlies should move on from Ja. Bane continues to impress.

MEM is an amazing Orebounding team. A few weeks back they had like 30 more FGAs than Wolves just off of Orebounding. It's gonna be a long night.

Whoever hits the most 3s wins. That's top-notch analysis right there.

You lost me at "I'm not a Bobby guy".
