Game 81: Bucks at Pistons - 4/11/25 - 6:00 - NBATV/FDSWI
Sounds as if Giannis will play. Let's wrap things up and get a nice 8-9 day break.

Doc is pretty spot on there. This is essentially a mini playoff game for Detroit and I will be interested in seeing how motivated we are by it. Real chance we go down big here imo.

That Minny comeback gave Milwaukee a ton of confidence. I’m sure this Dame-less group will benefit even more winning on the road Detroit just a week before going to play in Indiana.
Win them at Detroit, give them our G league experience in Milwaukee.

Hate that we're in this position because we stupidly didn't sit him last night, but I guess he only logged 25-minutes so you pretty much have to play Giannis here. Win and trot out the G-league squad next game, please.

Re: Game 81: Bucks at Pistons - 4/11/25 - 6:00 - NBATV/FDSWI
It’s good we have 2 potential meaningful games left and we just have to win 1. The schedule has been weak and it took a Herculean effort to come back from a huge deficit to beat the only good team we’ve played the last 10 days.
I’m pessimistic about this game tbh. The league wants more than anything for Sunday to be “the game” so I expect a terrible Giannis whistle and bad games from the role players that have been so good lately. Statistically speaking, KPJ is due for a stinker so I guess let’s just get it out of the way tonight and get ready for Sunday. It’s a tall task to win 5v8 on the road when there’s a clear narrative building. I hope I’m wrong and there’s no part of me that thinks Detroit is the better team even without Dame but this game is a mountain to climb under the circumstances.
Prove me wrong, Bucks in 6.

The Sunday game is on ESPN, I'm sure Silver wants a meaningful national game, therefore look for some shady calls from Curtis Blair and crew tonight.

Must win if you want to play Indy tonight. We know Giannis doesn't do noon games well.

Maybe the Knicks or Pacers game becomes meaningful (depending on today's outcomes) and ESPN switches to that, so Adam Silver has some wiggle room. I don't think he's sticking his 13-inch neck out to tilt this game. I do think the Pistons will be a little more motivated than the Bucks here, though, so let's see how we respond.
Maybe to the tune of 120-104.

I didn't even realize this was a back-to-back. Thought the game was tomorrow. GAD, Doc is a fool to have played Giannis last night.

Won tickets to the last game of the season, but I'm all for a bench mob game, so let's win tonight!

We should rest everyone the next 2 games, Pacers Knicks honestly doesn't matter and I'd even lean Knicks are the easier matchup. Pacers are punting their game, resting all starters. We should be doing the same but of course this idiot organization will go full throttle to get the 5 over 6 even though it makes 0 difference.

I don't see it. This game is way bigger for them than us.

Re: Game 81: Bucks at Pistons - 4/11/25 - 6:00 - NBATV/FDSWI
We're gonna get a hilariously bad whistle tonight given the last game is on ESPN and the league wants the game to matter. It's gonna be an abomination by the officials tonight and we need to prepare for that.

But tonight's game is on NBA TV!

A lot to over come here, and that makes this a potentially impressive win.
