Hopefully this isn't a repeat of American History X like last time.

Bucks are playing rather well, so i expect an L.

Should be interesting in that both teams have 2-3 guys that they want to unload.

I do not expect a win here.

You should always expect an L when it comes to this team regardless of recency bias. That being said, Davion in the starting lineup to guard Dame isn't the worst thing. Good trade value game potentially for him. But yes I expect an L.

This is a team that a good Davion game against could be very beneficial. Davion to Bucks, Portis to Pistons and expirings, picks to Raps gets Bucks out of the 2nds apron and makes a Jimmy trade easier.

We may never lose again.

I really hope Darko is just tanking on purpose here and calling TOs and putting out garbage lineups in a self sabotage way, because he is such a likeable dude and I hope he can turn it around :lol:

Win here would be devastating.

Play-in here we come!

we're a pretty atrocious road team so would be pretty surprising if the bucks don't repeat what they did against us a few weeks ago.

Bucks are healthy and should win by double digits.

Why not beat the last three NBA champions back to back to back? Sounds like fun!

Milwaukee would be incredibly dumb to make that trade, leaving them with zero bench size.

Portis is a big part of their 3 big rotation. They can't afford to trade him for a redundant guard that they don't need.

Fingers crossed reality comes crashing back down.

Darko has managed to create the biggest mental block in the history of the franchise with the pizza party gimmick.
