Do it for Jrue tonight! Pretty sure the Bucks already regret the trade, lets make them feel a little more doubt tonight.... Go C's

Hopefully Queta will be active, to go stand in Giannis' way.

Jaylen is of course a candidate for that too.

I just don't want injuries in the aftermath of that.

Rest everyone. Bucks aren't worth it. We can afford to drop this. If we win despite resting everyone, even better.

Agree and disagree. We can afford to rest everyone sure, but I want to keep that mental edge we have over these guys and keep the gap in the standings between us. You never know when someone might go down with an injury. Pound the bucks into a pulp

Tatum and Brown on fire recently and getting to go up against the Bucks terrible perimeter defenders.... I smell another 30/30 game from those two.

Can see resting a few.

Agreed. -- Rest a few of the ones that really need it. But, let's keep that edge.
We're 4 Games up on the East, and 3 Games up on the West. Get that comfortable Homecourt Advantage, throughout.

I'm with you. Beat the Bucks.

Honestly, if they're putting six guys on there, then they can find room for Pritchard and Hauser and Kornet at that point. :lol:

The Bucks will have a big rest advantage in this one. C's on second night of a back-to-back traveling from Boston to Milwaukee after an OT game last night. Meanwhile Bucks last played Monday at home, so well rested sleeping in their own beds last few nights. Games where a team are on B2B and other team has 2+ days rest are typically pretty tough. And on the road.

That said... the Bucks have noone to throw at EITHER Tatum or Brown, Lillard and Beasley are toast on switches. So I'm calling a 30/30 jay game. Could be a high scoring game if the c's are tired I'd imagine it shows up on defense.

If Mazzulla decides (ever) to throw in the Deeper Bench Guys, then we have more of a chance of lasting.
