Game 53: Bucks at TWolves - 2/12/25 - 7:00 - FDSWI

[MickeyDavis]

Last game before a well needed (team and this board) break.

As usual please keep comments in this thread on the game itself. THX.

W if they hit 20+ 3s, L if they don’t

[Matches Malone]

I wish we could just fast forward to post all-star break so we can see how Kuzma and Giannis will gel.

[mediocrityrules]

Any chance someone can call in a bomb threat or something so the game can be postponed, and we don't have to watch the Bucks until after the ASG.

Play Sims.

[chonestown]

When Jerryco (sp?) Sims becomes the "toast" of Milwaukee, that is when I will say the Good Land (Milwaukee) is Sims' City feel free to use no big deal

Kuz just lit up Minnesota 2 Saturdays ago for 30 and the Wizards won. Minny is very beatable so no excuses here.

[Dick Tate]

The T-Wolves are now under the curse of A-Roid. W.

Kuz just lit up Minnesota 2 Saturdays ago for 30 and the Wizards won. Minny is very beatable so no excuses here.

That was without Ant, Randle, DDV at all and Naz got injured mid-game as well, lost on a last second shot.

MIN is 8-2 in their last 10, top 10 in both D and Ortg since Christmas and Ant is coming off of 3 straight 40pt games.

This isn't the same disappointing team as earlier in the season. They're playing great basketball for almost 2 months now, I'd say they're pretty clear favorites without Giannis (if Ant plays which I assume he will).

Randle and DDV are out. Ant and Conley are questionable.

Those two are out, Mike is probably out as well through the asb, but Ant was questionable for the Cavs game with the hip soreness and played so I assume he will play tonight as well.

[PG Graveyard]

Going to the game. Hope we can grab a win.

[Ron Swanson]

Minnesota has a B2B with OKC tomorrow. They probably wanna get this game and then rest guys tomorrow night. Does kinda suck that we seem to be getting every team at the wrong time (for us) this year. 6-games vs. Boston and Cleveland in that early season stretch where they started scorching hot, 5-games against the Nets and Bulls when they were still frisky and not tanking, Portland smack in the middle of their random hot streak, Warriors immediately after getting Jimmy, and now a Minnesota team that was incredibly underwhelming until this last 10-15 game stretch where they look like contenders again. Schedule doing us absolutely no favors this season.

Sims may be bad but I’d like to see if he’s bad enough to warrant rotting on the bench.

Well, no sh**!

I wonder why

[Ron Swanson]

For the love of god, just **** sit him Doc. Would also at some point like to see Kevin Porter Jr. look like something closer to the guy that put up 50-points as a 20-year old, and less like a guy who's one of the worst rotation players in the entire league.

He had two moments last game where i actually wondered if he was drunk or on drugs? Reminiscent of the bird man dunk contest

[BigO]

I get the concern with playing time, but the Bucks aren't guaranteed a playoff spot and have to start winning games at some point. They're not that far from the play in.

And no one should assume that there won't be other games where Dame and/or Giannis have to sit for injury. Writing off games is the classic playing with your food.

[MickeyDavis]

Fine, sit Dame out tonight. But then also sit him out on Sunday night. I know it's less minutes/less intensity but we'll have 29 games after the break to figure this **** out and we need to be as close to 100% as possible.
