Game 58: Nuggets at Bucks - 2/27/25 - 7:00 - TNT

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Wed Feb 26, 2025 1:46 pm

I'm looking forward to this, Jokic is always fun to watch.

Last season in Milwaukee the Bucks won easily, 112-95. Jokic had 29/12/8 but Giannis went off for 36/18/5/3. Crowder started, Middleton was hurt. The rematch in Denver is next month.

Per usual, PLEASE keep the discussion on this specific game (Portis isn't playing, he can be discussed in the team thread). Thanks!

Clash of Porter Jrs

Felt like we really needed to win one of these two games in order for me to start believing this team can go on a serious postseason run, so I guess it's gonna have to be this one.

Neither team on a B2B, both teams relatively healthy. At home. Definitely need this one.

unironically a must-win

Not a must win but this would be a great win.

Nuggets 9-1 in their last 10 but mostly beating up on bad teams and lost to Lakers in which the internet says Reddick solved Jokic...

WHat does the internet say Reddick did to solve?

Freak vs. Joker is always a fun event.

Would be nice to see a W, especially against a good team in a close game. Can't keep having stretches where the offense is utterly anemic in crunch-time. The defensive ceiling has risen, now it's time for the offense to follow suit.

Based on current scores we’ll be entering this game as the East’s sixth seed. Would be beneficial if we could hold the 4/5 spot.

Denver favored by 3.5. Rare for the Bucks to be home underdogs.

Good video. By the end of that my first thought was the NBA is super physical.

Beat a good team challenge

Feels like every Giannis vs Joker match-up the last 3 years or so was the 2nd night of a B2B for either us or Denver. We finally get one with both teams rested.

I was going to get tickets for this one, but I didn't see Dame on the injury report so I passed.

And you wonder why people think you're a troll.
