Yeah yeah Dame, but having Rolo back is fun.

I find that hard to believe as I’m sure he wants to see how his practices are paying off. The trainers? The owners? It’s just so weird being the only team. Even old ass Lebron has played. Consistently injured Zion. Luka had played 3 and traveled across the world.

Not saying it’s wrong, but if your the only team doing it? Not like load managing has helped us at all the past 5 seasons.

Dame joined the team 10 days ago. Giannis had off-season surgery.

There is something about how demonstrative that Robin is that really gets to me.

I was just thinking it was nice to see Terry in Bucks kit again when they went to quarter time, and it was honestly the first time I twigged he was on our staff and reuniting with Dame. I’m such a dope :lol:

Unfortunately he is in direct competition with too much of our roster. You have to think he is a 3 primarily and Giannis/Khris/Beauchamp/Jae/Pat are all going to see quite a few minutes there. He does look like a much better player on a team unafraid to body up.

id think 3 and 4 kind of jaes spot? i guess particularly if jae has dead legs hed be a viable option? preserve middleton too if we wanted size in there?

I think that he may see minutes on heavy load management nights. He is probably directly in competition with AJJ for the minutes you are looking for.

Patty C not giving up the spot without a fight.

He's like a live caricature of Brook

I would never in my life go to the ground against a team with Robin Lopez and Thanasis on the court.

Bucks can do no wrong. Jrue joined the Celtics 5 days before their first game and he played. It’s a slap in the face to the fans. If they don’t care that’s fine. But be upfront about it. Don’t only allow so many ticket sales or threaten to take our season tickets, or tell us to care about the regular season, etc.

I'm not sure if Thanasis is more out of place Man-splaining stuff to Dame on the bench or him on the court

Thanos is clearly insane though.

I swear to God I was at my nephew's volleyball game and Novak's kid is on the team and Novak was there and I moved away from him so I couldn't hear him.

True story.

Oh. No AJJ?

Balls2TheWalls · Post #98 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Wed Oct 11, 2023 12:45 am

Thanasis back in full hack mode.

Wiggington about to turn on Rose's competitiveness.

Final thing I’ll say on it….for this game. Load management hasn’t helped us one bit for half a decade. We’ve been one of the most heavily load managed teams in the league for multiple seasons and we’ve failed. The title run almost didn’t happen if Gianni’s was a cyborg but a major injury still happened that year. Maybe. Just maybe. Try something different.
