Bucks are about to waltz to a title. Will beat the Hawks without Trae.

Then play the Suns with COVID Chris Paul and Masked Booker. Or possibly Clippers without Kawhi.

Could possibly be the biggest asterisk Championship of all time.

Still, I would easily switch places with them if I could.

Bogdanovich and Huerter are pretty good passers. Can they handle ball duties with Solomon Hill starting? I take it Reddish is still hurt or just not worth playing? Or do they start Dunn or Lou Will?

Hopefully the Bucks can wrap this up in the 3rd and close the little birdies out on Thursday as Clips/Suns goes to 7. :pray:

Bog would be able to if he didn't have the knee injury. I don't feel confident in him performing well due to the current state of his knee.

As a Bucks fan I do sincerely hope the little critter heals enough to play in game five.

Feel like this has a lot more to do with Trae's ankle history than this one specifically given how sleight that roll looked. Many of us have probably rolled our ankles far worse than he did on Sunday night and still gone out and laced them up. He wears those thick braces. Seems like more of a long term Curry-like problem than this roll specifically. Wouldn't shock me if there was a slight bone bruise he had been dealing with for some time and that roll made it worse.

The mri showed nothing, bone bruising is a pain tolerance issue but nothing structurally compromised. To not even try to be on the floor for your team even as a decoy was a choice and a pretty soft one.

and how do you know about the MRI, besides we are not in his shoes right now. He knows his body better than us. Besides we are not doctors.

Bummer. Good luck in the Finals Bucks fans. I have become a fan of Giannis and the way he plays and conducts himself. Hawks will be seeing you for years to come in the playoffs.

It’s easy to say but for someone like him who uses his shiftiness to his advantage, constantly driving and putting pressure on defenses, that pain is probably unbearable especially for his particular style of play.

Harden played decoy, partly because this was his one shot at a ring and probably wanted to atleast lens KD moral support. Everybody else like Kawhi and Trae are probably sitting for their own good

There's about a dozen easy points in transition no longer there for the Bucks. Pack the paint and make our questionable shooters beat you works often enough.
