Bucks/Pacers Lead-up - Dame Cleared for Practice

German Athens · Post #201 » by **German Athens** » Thu Apr 17, 2025 2:41 pm

I think doc’s pretty decent at identifying things that don’t work during a game, but isn’t generally very good at finding solutions to those problems, unless he stumbles into something that absolutely blows him away - like our recent small ball lineup.

I think the difficult part for any coach is sifting through the noise of small samples and trying to conclude what’s actually real, but, if you take a step back, shoehorning Prince into the starting 2 spot when you have other capable guards is wild.

He’ll go away from that more in the playoffs, but it took him a long time to get to this point.

They’ll probably assign us Scott Foster, Marc Davis and Tony Brothers for games 1 and 2.

Seems like we've seen less of Tony Brothers than usual this season, so yes we'll probably get him in this series.

If Doc plays him.

Last game against the Pacers, Sims was +18 in 11-1/2 minutes. I don't think Doc will forget that.

From Sam Amick on Twitter

League sources confirm, with @eric_nehm, that the Bucks’ Damian Lillard has been cleared of deep vein thrombosis and is off of blood thinners. Lillard also played three-on-three yesterday, then was re-tested today. He’s out for Game 1, with no clarity from there regarding Game 2 and beyond. His ramp-up will determine that timeline.

A ton of pressure on Indy now in game 1.

What the actual ****?!
I had to check and doublecheck that it was not from some fake account or something!
We need our team to go crazy in the first 2 games in Indiana in order to buy time for Dame to come back!
It's **** crazy! I was almost sure they were pulling a "Giannis is proabable for next game" while he took 2 more months to come back.

This is such a reverse from the Giannis situation last year. I had a good feeling about the series already. Now i feel even better.
