He signed with Philly for the minimum....

On his podcast he said he gave LAC the chance to sign him for the minimum too and they didn't. Money might be running dry but **** it give him a parade, give him some podcast sponsors, whatever it takes.

He’s made over $80 million, he’s probably doing ok. He seems to love playing for Doc and Rex, we’re close to Chicago - if he thinks we could contend next year, I could see him coming back. I sure hope we try.

Man, hope Thursday is a slow day at work. These tip times are KILLING me out here.

Doc is a slippery lil snake in post games, so when he says Dame and Giannis are very very close to returning, I mostly just think he's blowing smoke.

If Giannis plays game 6 we can win. The morale boost of him coming back in would be massive.

Both games in the Eastern time zone makes it tough. They gave the better time to the bigger markets, which makes sense. Still sucks though.

If one good thing came from Covid, it was normalising work from home (for those of us lucky enough to have access to it through out work!).

Color me envious!

I'll be surprised if Giannis and Dame return. I think this is just gamesmanship from Doc. But we can hope!

Pacers are very short in sports betting markets for game 6. All the pressure will be on them.

Might actually be worth a flutter. If Giannis comes back, Bucks will shorten up a lot.

I had COMPLETELY forgotten about MarJon. COMPLETELY.

I also heard him say right after that “very very close”

Indy fans gonna have tight sphincters over the next 48 hours.

Indy fans and players.

Siakam’s sphincter is the opposite of tight after what Portis did to him.

What heart from our boys with pretty much everyone counting us out. Bobby responded, Beas responded, Brook actually played reasonably smart ball and took his game inside , Pat Bev played a belt to ass game and Khris still looks phenomenal.
Man the absolute scenes if we get Giannis and Dame back for G6 , think it will just be Dame but praying for both.
Bucks in 7

I said it after the heart and pride we showed in game 4. Don’t let us get one. They let us. We’re winning this series, with or without Giannis+Dame. This team has swag now.

TOO SMALL

Who do we think is actually closer to coming back between Giannis and Dame?
Honestly, even a 60% Giannis would help immensly in defense, rebounding and for some easy buckets in transition.

Also apparently TNT reporting. said that they both have a chancce of returning in game 6? What do we think is that all about? Smokescreen, so the Pacers have to ready some things for them coming back and maybe psych them out?

Nehm*(?) posted video of Dame shooting prior to game 5. He had achilles & adductor issues already. My guess would be that he's closer.
