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

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

Yeah me too... maybe in practice they already see though

[-Jragon-]

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.

This is a genius post... games are pretty consistent after the break.. this would be a chance to rest him 8 days and he only misses 2 games (that we likely will go 1 and 1 or 0 and 2 even if he does play since GA is out)

[-Jragon-]

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.

Yeah you guys are right.. Let kpj and rollins eat and show their stuff... i don't like that it could lead to Kuzma continuing bad Wash habits but the greater good is 8 days rest for Dame. Sit Brook too while we are at it.

Dame would never sit out the all star game.

If anything, Dame is the type of guy who would sit out actual games so that he could be fresh for the all star game.

The Bucks have gotten themselves in a hell of a pickle.

Looking at the Buck's remaining 30 games. Based on who we play and what I have seen from the Bucks in these first 52 games, I can't imagine the Bucks finishing any better than 15-15 at best. Even if Giannis & Dame don't miss much time after the break. Probably more like 13-17. Our schedule the rest of the way is brutal even if you assumed that Giannis and Dame will play in all 30 games.

Even if we go 15-15, which is being generous, that puts us at 43-39 on the season and likley in the play-in. Maybe 43-39 gets you the #6 seed.

But this is what happens when you keep losing to teams like the Nets and Bulls, you end up in the play-in. Which is exactly where the Bucks are headed.

I disagree... I think we'll have a ridiculous hot streak where we roll off like 9 of 10 and good teams will start sitting their stars against us preparing for the playoffs and knowing their W is unlikely ... 4th seed unless someone above us has a slide

#4 is best case scenario. Thibs will run them into the ground so they aren't dropping. Cleveland and Boston can just coast to wins since they have actual talent after their top 2. We'll be lucky to get #4 imo.

[Bernman]

I don't see this brutal schedule others are talking about. Of course Rilamann will. He's the perpetual cynic. But the back-to-backs die down. And outside the 1 5-game road stretch, there's not a tough one.

And I say this as someone who pushed back on the notion that we could pick up momentum post that home stand where we went on the road to play such lowly teams as Portland. That we had to get thru. For this one, I see a chance to pick up steam.

Bad look for Dame to sit tonight and play the all star game. Hope he plays tonight

Must win. Schedule loss. But who really cares? Fire doc.

[blazza18]

Going to put out one of the worst offensive units in the league tonight. Hope we get hot and can at least make some shots.

[mediocrityrules]

In Kuz we trust?

lol Dame that’s a bad look.

[PG Graveyard]

At least sit out the all star game. I paid a lot of money for the game tonight. Unreal

[MickeyDavis]

I'm sure it wasn't his decision to sit.

It's fine, they're giving him an extended rest going into the break. We don't have to make it into a thing even though I already know people will jump at the chance.

[Turk Nowitzki]

I expected it tbh which is why I was pissed about the GS game at home. We could've really used that W.

Have at him tonight Rilamann. He deserves it

Knock off the personal attacks. MD
