Game 61: Bucks at Bulls - 3/1/24 - 9:00 - ESPN/OTA

[MickeyDavis]

Losing to the Chicago Bulls with all the optimism going around right now would be a nice gut punch.

This. Tough stretch coming up, can't lose this one. Hopefully no one other than Khris sits

Would not be shocked to see any combo of Giannis/Dame/Lopez sit. Again, what a dumb schedule. Could have easily done Bucks in Charlotte on Tuesday, Charlotte at Milwaukee on Thursday and Milwaukee at Chicago today.

or Milwaukee at Chicago tomorrow instead to avoid another back-to-back.


Either way the next few weeks are going to be brutal, but it will be a nice test to see how much growth this team has actually done. If we even go 7-4 or 8-3 in our next 11 games after tonight I will be extremely confident in this team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Giannis or Dame sits. They played 33 and 34 last night. Because we played last night the initial injury report isn't due until around 1:00

Personally, to keep Dame happy I would be trying to figure out ways to give him games off like today and allowing him to spend the weekend in Portland with his children. Three days with his kids, come back and play Monday. I know some would call that asinine, but you gotta do what you gotta do and it would go a long way with him imo.

[GoldenAntlers]

Lmao all of the above.

9:00, eh? Was gonna go out, grab a fish fry, and watch the game, but now I'm just confused.

It's Friday night, you can stay up lol.

It's weird to have 2 Friday's in a row with a 9:00 start, in Minnesota and Chicago.

Bro, I been crashing so early man. My Fridays ain't what they used to be, but I'll make it happen

[Prez]

Same as the Charlotte games - if they've truly turned the corner, can't lose this one unless they sit a bunch of dudes. Selfishly, it would be extremely annoying to have to hear all the idiotic media negativity about the Bucks again if they dropped a national TV game to a bad team. Some media members are starting to take note but you gotta keep winning.

[Ron Swanson]

We'll have the whole weekend off before playing the Clippers at home Monday. Would be annoying to rest anyone unless there's a legitimate injury.

Do what I do - take advantage of the late start and get in a nap before the game

The Bulls don't play again until Monday either. Why on earth is this game being played today instead of tomorrow?

[CharityStripe34]

Play whoever's available. Take care of business early, sit in the fourth. The real load management.

[msiris]

No need to rest anyone. The last two games we coasted to easy wins.

[MickeyDavis]

Giannis probable, Khris out. No one sitting.

Blackhawks play tomorrow night

[engelmartin]

Not sure we can lose to the worst perimeter shooting team in recent history. That’s basically our one weakness and we’ve been better under Doc. Going to go ahead and predict a 120-104 final.

[Serge28]

Game starts at 7 for me...

Chicago Blackhawks (hockey) are playing at United Center tomorrow night.

[AussieBuck]

Chicago is a Ryan5UW's ex wife.

Keep streaking.

[KidA24]

Let's just say Chicago didn't fall far from Ann Arbor's tree.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say **** the blackhawks.

[Plossum]

Are you oldies on here gonna make it to halftime before nodding off?

His brother is an athlete. Free up a roster spot.

Ultimate oldie scenario- I'm annoyed with the scheduling of a later game because I'm going out tonight and was contemplating trying to take a nap this afternoon!

What makes it even more old man yells at cloud: I don't nap, I don't think I'd be able to nap, I realistically wouldn't bother trying to nap- but still annoyed at the scheduling regardless. The first time I yawn tonight I'll be thinking "stupid NBA, should have let me nap!".
