I think his team is capable of a top 3 seed next season, so it depends on what you mean by crappy

They’re never going to be as stacked as the Cavs or Knicks but on the other hand all it takes is one postseason where the Bucks finally stay healthy


I just don't see it. I don't think they can compete with Orlando, Atlanta, Detroit, Cleveland, or New York and the betting odds support that opinion. When you have a top 2-4 player in the NBA, that is inexcusable. If Giannis gets hurt, it's completely over. If not, they're a bottom-tier Eastern Conference team.

Then you should bet on that I sure the **** wouldn’t.
The PG spot is going to be a lot better than all these so called experts think especially defensively where dame was not good. They have 3pt shooters everywhere and the Bucks have owned Detroit Orlando and Atlanta with Dame leaving that’s not going to change. Giannis is still getting better I expect his best year ever don’t be surprised he gets over 8 assists a game I can see 32-12-8.5 This team with Turner next to Giannis can be a top 5 defense.


I don't bet, and I hope you're right. I've always rooted for small market teams. I just see what I see. Luckily, we have a season in front of us to eventually give the answer.

KPJ is a very talented player he just had personal issues when he was younger but has been great for the bucks he will be the starting pg. And Rollins is young and talented who played last yr with a hurt shoulder he has a 6’10 wing span I expect a big yr from him then there’s Anthony who will thrive next to Giannis who is going to have the ball in his hands a lot more this season. We were a top 3 three pt shooting team last yr and all those shooters are back. And I can’t wait for the season to start!!

I mean, you can’t trash Dame for his defense then hype up equally useless KPJ and Anthony on that end…not to mention they are inferior offensive players as well.

And it’s highly unlikely Giannis gets those numbers. He needs to be healthy for the postseason so I don’t foresee him playing 40 minutes a night especially now that he’s over 30 years old.

It’s ok to admit that the roster has some serious question marks.

They like living in denial to justify having mortgaged the majority of the future for a failed 2 yr run. But go on about Kevin porter jr more :lol:

KPJ was definitely a better defender than dame last year and I was talking about Rollins for defense not Anthony who will be used as a scoring option off the bench. KPJ doesn’t need to score 25 a game but I see him at 18 with other two guards picking up more scoring. Trent and Green at Sg gives us two great shooters I expect both to have great yrs. No denial I just think these players are better than media is projected to be. The bucks will win 50 games this yr and Giannis will play his normal 32 minutes a game he had 6.5 assists last yr so no needed minutes for those 1.5-2 assists more
