Game 27: Wizards at Bucks - 12/21/24 - 7:00 - FDSWI 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Sat Dec 21, 2024 4:22 am

Our last back to back for a month.

I suspect neither Dame nor Khris plays.

Bucks pulled away from Washington in the second half last month and won by 10. Brogdon had 31, Poole 29.

Need to get back on track.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Just be serious, we dont need Dame or Khris but dont underestimate anyone, go out there and play with heart out.

I called it last night. And now you've expended your resources in a futile effort. Any NBA team is dangerous to the Bucks when their core is seriously depleted. Should've saved Middleton & kept Giannis fresh.

So it only makes sense that Green and AJax will combine to hit 7 or 8 threes tonight. :dontknow:

B2B games are the most overly feared Boogeyman in sports history at this point. Giannis is fine and Khris needs the reps. Can't bubble wrap these dudes and expect their bodies to hold up in rigorous playoff hoops that resemble the Cup Final.

Surprised Khris may play B2B

The betmakers seem to think Giannis will play, otherwise I can't see why we're favoured by that much.
Really hope we win this either way.

I thought they were just keeping Khris out of back to backs by rule, but maybe last night changed the equation? Would be a good time to see if he can start & take on an expanded role, to bring out his scoring/offense.

But we still need the 2-man game w/ Khris & Giannis for this to be a probable win even. So long as his back isn't spasming right before the game, gotta play.

I just want our starting back court to score at least one point tonight.

Khris only played 19 minutes after 6 days off. He's fine to go B2B

Doesn’t look like Giannis is playing. He would if it was a Cup game though.

What a treat for the holiday crowd to see Khris Middleton on the second night of a b2b. We really need him to have a good 20 minutes tonight.

I know it will never happen, but I'd almost rather just have less games per season than constantly dealing with load management games. NBA product is bad enough, I don't need my eyes to bleed even more watching a bunch of scrubs every other night while stars around the league take their sick days.

Hoping Rollins gets a lot of burn tonight.

Don't mind me being totally cool and not nervous at all that we're about to drop a game to the Wizards.

It’s really just b2b’s. If they could get rid or minimize those, there wouldn’t be many cases.

Hopefully the first step in getting Rollins back into the rotation.
