Game 38: Celtics at Bucks - 1/11/24 - 6:30 - TNT - Dame Returns

[BigO]

Payton Pritchard for 20.

We will know early if it’s competitive. If Giannis is clanking layups early this is over by half. The Bucks always shrink against the Celtics and the worst part is the Celtics know it.

The Bucks being favored in this game is nonsensical I don’t understand. The Celtics could be playing their 3rd game in 3 nights it wouldn’t matter. Celtics are to the Bucks as the 49ers are to the Packers.

Those of us that were Packers fans in the 90s remember that this analogy was true then too, until that glorious day when it wasn't.

Man this thread is insufferable.

Payton Pritchard for 20.

Nah, that was Bud's teams. Whoever goes off tonight will be someone who can get layups.

OK, just decided to stay awake ... its 02:30 here... I'll watch this game Live with U. If we are down 20 in the half I'll go to sleep...

Ernie: “Hey Bobby, what needs to change on defense?”

Bobby: “Man, not much.”

Okay,knock them tfo Giannis.

If Jrue is better off over there, he should probably give his ring back.

why? to appease homers who are glum he went to a better team and were worse off for it?

his quote is the dead honest truth. we supposedly punted him for "an upgrade". cant imagine how that felt for him. with whats happened since i like his balls for saying what now looks obvious. why shouldnt he?

Jrue knew. I got the sense when he waved off other Bucks defenders to cover jimmy butler that he knew the alternative was worse, like he'd had enough of what was going on around him. Because Jrue doesn't seem like a guy who'd pull some bull out of the blue for no reason: he seems candid, clear, capable of being in the right place at the right time-- Compare Game 6 of the Nets series where Jrue & Middleton run the full length of the floor in transition without a single dribble just sweet passing back & forth. Need to watch it again but it'll be highlights i guess. Did we ask Jrue to do too many conflicting things vs miami w/o the kind of synced play that would allow him and the bucks to transcend. You're for more the expert, all I can do is speculate. BUT ! :: as you say,
1000% he's dead ass honest. He's got a defined role, the focus to reliably do a couple things well, and a system that seems to regularly roll out guys like pritchard and hauser for substantial contributions but no overreliance. Am I wrong, or did all that ball movement disorient bucks fans, because those two guys cleaned up against bud's system and the contrast looked sharp enough that it wasn't fun to watch and for Jrue, after the initial shock, it must've been a surprise Inverse-Dame-to-Heat move: he didn't ask to go anywhere and somehow ended up w/the Celtics

Great voice ... make her our permanent anthem singer

[GoldenAntlers]

Turned on the game. Saw Jrue. Saw Dame.

Taking the optimistic approach up to tipoff and will see where that goes.

[JonHeist]

I bet on the Celtics at +210 last night

hopefully we go down 3-0 at the start so I can hedge at +100

wire-to-wire blowout win it is

[engelmartin]

Brian Anderson? Disgusting

[Siefer]

I liked it better when I liked Bobby better.

[Wonka]

Jrue on Giannis to start again.

[GoldenAntlers]

Woof

Maybe he meant the fix was super easy like we've all been saying.

[Wonka]

Great sign from Dame early. 2/2 to start
