Game 49: Bucks at Hornets - 2/5/25 - 6:00 - FDSWI

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Tue Feb 4, 2025 3:40 pm

The Bucks, losers of 4 straight, travel to Charlotte to take on the Hornets, losers of 5 straight. Marquee matchup right there.

Trade deadline eve, who may or may not be playing their last game with the Bucks (or held out due to pending trades) we'll see. But as usual please discuss all trade/transaction stuff in the team thread and limit this thread to the game itself. Thx.

This would be a brutal loss

We lose here, I would literally trade anyone. I would blow this team the **** up for picks and young players.

People say if they lose blow it up, but what happens if they already made significant trades before this game, which really destroy our rotation. Let's say they trade Brook, Bobby's still out, & Giannis is our only big.

Otherwise I'd say it's a must win game. But w/ the deadline looming, we don't know what will transpire in the next day+.

After the deadline & all-star break, it's time for the excuses to stop, and for them to do work.

I'm mentally ready for this to be Khris' last game in a Bucks uniform.

We have already lost to them once this season. I wouldn't put it past us to drop this one as well.

For board hilarity a loss here would be epic drama. Will be interesting to see if there are any major (or minor) moves before or after this game. The starters should be well-rested and fiending for a W.

Over/under for LaMelo threes made?

Interesting that Giannis and Dame are questionable. Brook and Khris are probable as is Bobby.

You guys remember what a win tastes like?

Scheduled Loss.

Lamelo goes for 35pts.

My one and only hornets fan friend also wonders why hornets tend to show up for the bucks.

Khris possible last game for the Bucks in his home region

Kuzma and the wiz just beat them.

Shorthanded tonight. I actually think this is an L.

Horst got him for this very moment. He knew.

We've been without Khris a lot so it's not a big deal he's not there. Dame and Giannis have been upgraded to probable. And Portis is back. We good.

ETA: Brook is now questionable.

I didn't realize Bobby was back. If Brook and Bobby both manage to play, let's get this W.

Khris still probable for tonight? Too soon?
