We have customers and vendors in Europe. I've flown overnight many times and worked the next day after arriving. Lots of my company does it. Next time something doesn't go well I'll tell my boss I was tired. He'll get someone else.


Why does everything need to be made narcissistically about people's own lives? They're premier competitive athletes playing against other ones. One of those groups has a major built-in competitive advantage like being able to move for days in the lead-up.

Bucks just had a 2 hour flight on a private presidential suite.

Can't expect them to even try.

The NBA is so soft. Like I said before, if this Bucks team has the excuse/crutch to lay an egg, they will lay an egg.

It’s a **** mess. Mid ranger is better than ever while he is comically bad at the line. It’s all mental

Bam does kick his legs out on his shot.

Defending Bam like he's KD is so **** dumb

You think they aren't even trying? That's some hyperbole, even from you 8-)
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It has to be mental. No reason why he should shoot it so slowly

Hey, don't throw midranger under the bus. I bet he can shoot a ft better than Giannis like most of us.

Can't Giannis just play solid defense and avoid fouling. Live with a fadeaway midranger?

I know they have a chartered flight but they were also stuck in a snowstorm for 3 plus days. Not ideal. Every time this team gets something going some BS happens

It's not about the flight ya idiot. It's about not being able to do anything while being stuck in New Orleans then jumping on plane and playing 2-3 hours after landing. That's **** rough for the players.

They don't look like they're really trying.

If they kind of ran out of gas or got tired legs in the 2nd half you could maybe make a case. But to come out from the opening tip looking like you're just going through the motions is pretty pathetic.

Maybe they'll pick it up here and and actually start trying.

Pat like fully stinks. I have never seen Duncan Robinson cook someone off of the dribble before.
