Love the Dame excuses. He must be hurt. Bluh, Bluh,Bluh.

I don't like facing the Knicks in the 2nd rd if they happen to beat a quick Indy team but playing Haliburton is a good test on if the Bucks can put together a playoff defense to stop the PnR.

Bucks open as 4 point favorites for game 1.

Yep, I gave him a bunch of excuses too. Excuses end now, either perform in the playoffs or he can go.

And I know the day he leaves his game will return to form no matter where he goes.

Hopefully Heat beat Sixers, Sixers beat winner of Bulls/Hawks.

Even if we don't win I want Boston to face Philly.

Would enjoy that

Don't know what is all going into Dame's subpar year, but if it's anything other than age then now is the time for pride to kick in for someone who's always professed to be about winning. That and what condition we get Giannis in is going to make the difference between a first round exit and a legit finals push.

Going to be a cracking series if Giannis is healthy enough.

He definitely needs to perform, but dumping him for scraps instead of letting his family stuff work its way out would be so shortsighted.

Imagine if we had talked to a sports Psychic the day after we traded for Dame.

September 28, 2023.

Bucks fans: This is awesome, I can't believe we just traded for Dame. Giannis & Dame, this might be the best and most fun season in franchise history. Haha **** you Boston.

Psychic: Actually, the Bucks won't even win 50 games this season.

Bucks fans: Wait, what? So Giannis suffers a season ending injury in early January? Or does Griffin turn out to somehow be an even worse head coach than we thought?

Psychic: Neither. Griffin goes 30-13 before he is fired and Giannis stays healthy until the final couples games of the season.

Bucks fans: So Dame gets hurt after we fire Griffin?

Psychic: Nope.

Bucks fans: Ok, now I am confused. At least we fired Griffin, but I am surprised we failed to win 50 games with Stotts taking over.

Psychic: Stotts leaves before the season begins.

Bucks fans: Uh oh, why did Stotts leave?

Psychic: Not totally sure, but I think Stotts might be a Psychic, too.

Bucks fans: Just give me the spoiler.

Psychic: The Bucks fire Griffin after going 30-13 and bring in Doc Rivers who proceeds to go 17-19.

Bucks fans: 17-19? Are you sure?

Psychic: Yes, 17-19.

Bucks fans: 17-19 with Giannis & Dame?

Psychic: Yes.

Bucks fans: So 47-32 wtf. Wait, there are 3 games missing, what happened with those?

Psychic: The one and only Joe Prunty goes 2-1.

Bucks fans: Well at least we made the playoffs I would assume.

Psychic: Yes, the Bucks make the playoffs and play the Pacers in round 1.

Bucks fans: Haha the Pacers, I can't believe they actually make the playoffs, we'll smoke them. Giannis & Dame could beat them playing 2 on 5 haha.

Psychic: Ummmm....

So that adductor, Dame missed games due to, that was a problem in Portland is made up?

Yeah...

drone3 · Post #1514 » by **drone3** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:16 pm

Have to get this off my chest ... At this point in time TJ MConell is way better than Dame.

FrieAaron · Post #1515 » by **FrieAaron** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:20 pm

I'm saving any hot takes for whenever our run is officially over. No one cares about the regular season if Dame shows up for the playoffs.

I'll delete this post later and deny it, but I was watching Alex Caruso and thought the same thing.

This board performing as well as the Bucks lately. A combined Pacers Round 1 leadup with Bucks Transactions?

ShootingtheJ · Post #1518 » by **ShootingtheJ** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:24 pm

Are there really people that think Giannis won't be 110% for game 1?

TroyD92 · Post #1519 » by **TroyD92** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:27 pm

Pacers are bad so the Bucks should win, but I have zero confidence

I'd be fine with that but I don't think he wants to stay. And I'm not saying dump him for scraps.
