If we don't see any Portis/Giannis at center line-ups, i have grave fears that we're going to see plenty of backup minutes for Sideshow Rolo this season (at least until we trade for a newer, younger chair)


Yep, I'm excited to see the full lineup but this is moreso what I'm watching. How does Griff run the rest of the rotation


Me too. Rotations will evolve during the season but I'm very curious what we're starting out with.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I'm not concerned. When you have the ingredients AG has to cook with, it's pretty hard to mess up.

A lesson from my dear departed grandmother, who could take cheap, crappy ingredients like pork neckbones and escarole and transform them into a delicious meal: when we'd go somewhere and eat a younger relative's cooking, her critique would often be "of course it's good. There are nothing but good ingredients in it."

Adrian Griffin has $25-dollar-a-pound tenderloin on the kitchen counter. He won't screw it up.

Definitely. Hoping atleast the 1st half is the regular rotation or atleast what it will be during the beginning of the season

Not to bring up the Stotts stuff but in previous games Stotts often led the huddle with a clipboard during timeouts in what I assume was drawing up the offensive sets for the next series. I will be curious if we Griff in that role tonight or Prunty or whoever

I’m looking forward to watching the guys not know how to do anything on offense now. No way we can survive

It was brought up in another thread by another poster but Prunty will almost certainly have input in the offense now and he had a top 8 offense with young Giannis, Midds, nothing else, and some of the worst spacing imaginable.

Interested to see what they do with what they took from Stotts, what AG is bringing with him, and what Prunty adds to the mix.

The flop sweat around here is gushing
The high expectations are crushing
But I'll take fear and dread
Over years of Mike Redd
And a future that needs no airbrushing

Ironically the same ones freaking out about Stotts being gone would be calling him a "play random, Dame & CJ merchant" 5 games into the season

Time to see what it's all about
Stotts gone? The Bucks season in doubt.
A rolling moss gathers no stone
When one yearns for days sepia-toned

Am I crazy to think Khris is as good as the other two guys?

Khris is awesome, he's not Giannis or Dame though

For the record, the 2023 Celtics are not better than the 2021 nets. And now we have Damian Lillard

This season already heading the way of "the man from Nantucket"

There once was a coach from Nantucket,
Who for some reason couldn't find a way to stop Jimmy Buckets,
He was fired for being lame,
New coach, and we got Dame,
Season hasn't even started and already some folks are saying "**** it!"
