Game 78 - Bucks at Pelicans - 4/6/25 - 7:30 - FDSWI

[MickeyDavis]

Absolutely no way Giannis should play after 43 minutes Saturday night. Playoffs start in 2 weeks. Another game against a depleted team. Gotta love the 82 game season.

As usual please limit the posts in this thread to this game only. Thanks.

Let's hope they're smart and rest Giannis and maybe even Brook too.

Last game without Portis.

Half game up on Detroit for 5th seed. Would be nice to pull this out and be 1 game up with 4 remaining.

If Giannis or Lopez play today I won't be happy.

Unleash the Kooz.

UNDEFEATED IN APRIL! LET'S GO STREAKING!

MUST WIN!

Giannis should probably not play tonight. But if he does, this game is one in which he can absolutely feast, even in limited minutes.

Injury report so far for the Pelicans(Almost as bad as the 76ers' one a couple days ago):

Zion Williamson: OUT
Dejounte Murray: OUT
CJ McCollum: OUT
Trey Murphy III: OUT
Herbert Jones: OUT
Brandon Boston: OUT
Jordan Hawkins: OUT
Kelly Ollynyk: OUT
Jose Alvarado: Questionable

And the sad thing is, without Giannis, I'm not sure we win.
ps. Had completely forgotten they traded Brandon Ingram to the Raptors, lol.

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

A little Dame rebirth, a little Bobby fertilizer, and who knows? These Bucks might bloom at the right time.

As for tonight, 120-104.

This is even more of a reason for him to sit. Organization is braindead if he plays tonight, even if he begs you sit him

Giannis questionable. Everyone else in.

[Profound23]

I guess we figure this is Lopez last contract so run him into the ground his final year.

Hopefully he still ok during playoffs.

Gianni's now doubtful and Pat now questionable.

Good chance he's unplayable in the playoffs either way, so use him now

Bring on the Kuzma freak show.

Bring on the Kuzma freak show.

I think I'd rather watch Tyler Smith shoot a bunch corner 3s, and I'm not a Tyler Smith believer.

I guess we should continue to try to play Kuzma in to shape. He seems extremely unconditioned, and this is why he so awful in 2nd halves.

[ShootingtheJ]

If Giannis is out, start Green, and then leave him in the starting lineup

This is absolute must-broadcast teevee

[emunney]

We should be ok with Olynyk out.
