The Bucks could always find a way to muddy this up and figure out a way to win but this just seems like an extremely tough matchup for us even with Giannis.

The Indy crowd is going to be nuts to start the game. Dame time from the jump to quiet 'em down. Let's win. Save the sad face for when it's over.

Bev with 3 days between games. Think he helps shift & maintain higher energy for this one.
Even if Khris & Giannis sit, I think it can be done.

I know I’m a pessimist but a blind homer is equally as bad. I love your faith though thinking a lineup of
Beverly
Dame
Crowder
Bobby
Lopez
Pat
Beasley
Has any chance. That team finished bottom 5 in the league. Would you say if we were healthy that Indiana should beat us if they were missing halli and Siakom?

It's just more fun to root for your team while they are still competing.

If Khris is out, Beasley takes his place & gets more burn. Might be a defensive sieve but he'll have incentive to bust his ass & if he gets hot, then suddenly everything opens up. Brook already splashing & Dame rivaling Kareem for points in franchise playoff debut.

Khris Middleton has missed playoff games in 1 single season in his NBA career.
1 season. That's it.

It's nuts we haven't had a good run of health since the championship year. Midds down in 22 and now Giannis in 23 and 24.

No expectations from me, but this will be a blow out. Go Bucks anyways.

I know it looks bleak, but I'm never counting dame out of a game.
If he can get some help from km or elsewhere could be a big help. But even more importantly, if they can step up on D.
Idc if it means doing 3-4 minutes of spamming ajj or something. Just get some semblance of a defense.
You gotta make it difficult for them to score and slow them down.

Doc hinted another young guy might be introduced to the series. That has to mean he's considering giving Dre some run on Siakam.
But if Middleton can't go... man, this is likely an L.
Was really hopeful that our iron man in Giannis would be back for this one.

Last time he landed on someone’s foot and sprained his ankle, it was coz the other player didn’t give landing space for Khris. I am not sure how he again landed on someone s foot in the last game. Any ides…

I think there was a foul called on someone when Middleton went down?
I was walking into the bar when it happened (everyone was sleepy I had to push them to turn on the game so I didn't get a clear look) , it was early first quarter.

Yeah it was Siakam's foot out near half court when he was pressuring the ball / going for a steal. Wasn't dirty at all and not landing on someone's foot after a jump shot like KDs.

If Khris and Giannis don't go, then sit Dame, Pat Bev, and Brook.
I think Khris plays though. If Giannis isn't ready, time for another MRI to figure out what's wrong

I got to imagine they are doing testing everyday and mris every couple days.
