so unless im misunderstanding the new 2nd apron rules, the most we can give Beasley next season is the vet minimum since we will not have access to the tax payer mid level exception. Is that right?

Seems like a quality human being though.

We contend for rings every year, they haven't had a playoff-type game since Oladipo. Fiserv crowd noise is underwhelming but not matching the Indiana atmosphere is understandable.

Should still have non-bird rights, but that's not much of a raise.

Bucks have shooters. Hopefully pat and Jae can hit their threes when they come back cuz their replacements surely are hitting them quite well

Bucks are 5pts and a lucky Alex Caruso buzzer beating 3 from having an 18-3 record and having won 15 of their last 16.

Winning 12 of their last 16 for a 15-6 record is still pretty good though for a team that is still a work in progress and hasn't even begun to play their best basketball yet.

The best part of the game tonight was when the woman couldn't name more candies then Giannis in 30 seconds and Giannis is at half court shaking his head and waving his arms like "you can't beat me."

There was a moment tonight.

Giannis Posted up, threw the ball out to Dame who was moving towards him.

Giannis then reposted 20 feet from the hoop, instead of setting a screen and giving Dame a layup.

I don't think they ran another two man set after that.

Brook and Midds have such better understanding of playing off ball than Giannis

Yea, Marjon seemed to play good on-ball defense tonight.

he's had some nice moments on defense this season. i think where he (and Andre) can sometimes lack is at the very end of plays where they feel like they did their job and relax a bit. then their man capitalizes, catching them flat footed.

there's that, and then there's the fouls. but there've been some good moments for sure.

I love how people pump up basic plays. I think Giannis had to push him back into position after the switch. Hardly Caruso level.

Did I miss something? Did somebody make a list?

So now we move on to Indy. People think our defense is bad but Indy is a whole different level of bad defense. We will get shredded by good players but they will get shredded by most players. I think that's an important difference. Last game between us was a nailbiter but we did not have Dame. I'll be disappointed if we can't beat them with the 4 horsemen all going. Gotta believe this is game that Andre and Marjon will both get 15min plus. We need runners for this one.

If it’s still at +400, I’ll be stopping at Poto on my way to work and putting a bag on a Bucks championship, AG be damned.

(rilamann still wrong though)

Shout out to Thanasis for the clear “I could’ve dunked that 3-years ago but I forgot how old I am” layup save near the end.
