2025 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 1 - Bucks at Pacers - 4/19/25 - Noon - ESPN/FDSWI

[MickeyDavis]

Very important to win one in Indy, love to take game 1. It will be tough. We have a mostly playoff experienced roster. KPJ will be making his playoff debut. Green played all 6 games against Indy last year and sucked (2-11 from 3) in 11 MPG, we need him to step up in this series. Playoff Pat had a nice 3 year playoff run starting with our championship season. Just 2 years ago he shot 47.8% from 3 in 4 games (22 MPG) but last year didn't do anything in 6 games (21 MPG). Playoff rotations tighten, it will be interesting to see what plays out here. We can all gripe about the starting lineup but at least Doc has been going with the hot lineup in the 4th, not afraid to bench guys.

LFG BUCKS!

[neiLz]

Must Win. Schedule Loss.

[chonestown]

Allow me to weigh in on Naptown
Which for 4-7 games is Craptown
As for the Carlisle Group
They can eat a big bowl of poop!
Right after the Bucks give a smackdown.

[raferfenix]

The Greek Freak after missing the past two playoffs is gonna be something to see.

Middleton was out the year before but now Dame, Bobby and Sims all coming back just in time too.

[Dick Tate]

GB rightfully picking Bucks in 6.
Just keep Kuzma off the court during the 4th and we're good.

Hopefully we facilitator/passer Giannis and not out of control foul trouble Giannis.

[tsamo]

Damn, this time tomorrow the game will have already started (maybe, it's the NBA after all)!!
We must come out strong to help Dame's return!
Let's go Bucks!

[jimmybones]

Thrilled about Dame.

Before the news, it sure seemed to me that everyone outside of Bucks fans were counting us out. I found this borderline slanderous to Giannis. Best player in the series. Proven winner. Hasn’t been healthy and available for several playoffs. I think due to our closing lineups and mostly due to Giannis existence that we were beating them without Dame.

we haven't really seen foul-trouble-giannis in a few years at this point

[WeMajor34]

Very nervous-excited right now. More so than last year considering we have a (*crosses fingers*) healthy Giannis, a deeper team and some hope regarding the Dame news.

With Dame coming back, we have a shot to make a good run here. Let's take care of the front runners.

yes, and now everyone is counting Dame out and finding reasons why we are worse with him playing. it's very strange, unless you consider that the narrative is that we are toast. so everyone needs to find a way to fit the Dame news into that.

[BroncoBuck]

Kuzma is a better defender than PJ was, not in versatility, but he can guard 3’s and 4’s better.

Bucks in 5.
