Poor Giannis, he’s gonna go to Indiana like the 1 man army he is, put up 40-15-8 and most likely lose :banghead:

and then he’s gotta do it on an away court just to throw salt in the wound. Couldn’t even be in the comfort of the house he’s built. Makes me sad.

On brighter note and maybe blind optimism, he’s not leaving Milwaukee. This won’t be the closing chapter of Giannis as a Buck. I refuse to believe that until that fateful day actually comes, hopefully it never does.

Bucks in 6 :cry:

Torn on if I even want to win the game. My last live game was Giannis in Game 3. Great game, great post game interview and I took it in. Not sure seeing him Friday will be value add in my memory of him. Non-Giannis, I'm not sure I want to waste another $125+ and a Friday night going to the game (and dont want to miss it either). Rather just hold my children and tell them stories from 2021.

I think we win.

I was at Favre's last game as a Packer, Rodgers last game as a Packer, if we are lucky enough to win Tuesday I might go to game 5 just because that could be Giannis' last game as a Buck.

Super pumped for this game.

Really hope KPJ cooks again, and that Sims plays extended minutes. Dude is an absolute defensive dynamo.

About the only thing the Bucks did really well this year was handle themselves well when down. Nonstop comebacks this year, including record breaking ones.

Giannis 's mid range has been a pleasant surprise this season. Last game it didn't seem to be falling. Hopefully that clicks for him this game--having it with lengthen his career by years.

The Pacers about to get all Harlem Globetrotter-y out there. Bobby and KPJ techs incoming.

If we make it back home I think the crowd could potentially influence his decision to stay. If the entire arena was chanting WE LOVE YOU GIANNIS at the end of the game (or something similar) I could see that tugging at his heart strings to stay home.

Bucks in 6 has a new meaning.

I strangely feel good about the game?

Could be the numbness I feel after the Dame news but I think I’m already in the acceptance phase in my stages of Bucks grief.

Very strong possibility that we get boat-raced but I’ll keep the faith.

Bucks in 7 *shrugs*

Can Kuzma donate his Achilles to Dame?

Halliburton getting the old Dunleavy might be something to see.

Absolutely! We were balling without Dame right before the playoffs. May not win the series but I think we win tomorrow.

Dear Jimmy Haslam, fire Doc! If the bucks pull it off tomorrow it’s in spite of him, not because of him. No excuses… we need our next Bud that can come in and build another perennial contender. You don’t need much when you have Giannis just good role players, exceptional front office due to our circumstances and a competent coach. Bucks are pushing this and winning in 7
