We all hope you're right. Tinkering around the edges with this team as it is, won't move the needle at all.

These last few games have been slap back to reality. Old roster and Doc pulling the strings just feels miserable. I still can't believe Doc Rivers is our coach sometimes lmao. Just wtf.

Dre not being good enough to trust at all is such a killer for us. Should be able to play small with him at the 4/5 when it's obvious Brook can't be on the court but..

There's no trade that will elevate this team to a realistic contender. Sans Giannis it's the most athletically challenged front court out of any Top 4 seed. Horst was the moron who extended Brook after a BACK SURGERY at 35, and he can barely jump over a phone book. Bobby is younger but another matchup limited playoff player. Khris' body sadly has betrayed him and he's limited.

The decent young guys we have are good 7-9th men in the rotation.

As for tonight's game Spurs just had the young legs and the ball was flying. They sank a bazillion threes. Whatever.

Agenda alert: this is why I’d like to sell high on Dame. Retool with the haul.

This would be the equivalent of the Marques for Cummings, Pierce, Hodges.

Wouldn't make much of a difference with the bengay brigade still on the roster.

Hey some of us knew that after the Jrue trade that the team was going to get old and without draft captial it was going to be difficult to infuse good young talent. They had great run and won a chip.

It'd be nice if our 2nd year 2nd round combo guard could be trusted to play every position but I don't think that's what's killing us.

Those three guards emerging has kept the season interesting and righted us when we ran aground, but the reality is that anything we get from them should be gravy. We shouldn't have to rely on any of them for anything. We're over the 2nd apron for **** sake.

There isn’t much difference between the treadmill Kohl era Bucks and this iteration - except seeding. Another first round exit.

Retool. New GM. New coach. Everyone available.

Awareness, Acceptance, Action.

*this is completely dependent on ownership
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
