Preseason Game 2: Pistons at Bucks - 10/9/25 - 7:00 - FDSWI

Assuming Giannis plays a bit.

Please keep the discussion on the game itself. All Giannis talk/speculation is already being discussed in the Giannis thread and other Bucks talk in the team thread. Thx.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Go bucks looking forward to this game and the young players. I would like to see more of Livingston with the core players to se how he handles it. He could be the starting 3 of the future he has great size for the position still very young.

Yeah also looking forward to seeing more of Livingston. He has noticably improved, now more needs to be seen if that's worthy of anything or not. Also, want to enjoy the new fast pace of the team with Giannis if he plays.

Agreed. We were not taking enough shots last few years. Hopefully we get back closer to the Bud years where we were coasting to wins, instead of every game being close, no matter if it is a scrub team or not. Steals and fast breaks should be our thing. Hopefully we can rebound better as a team as well.

I honestly would have liked to see Prince as a starter but I interested to see Portis bounce back offensively. I also want to see him guard Tobias. This should be a great test for the starters and how they match up against a young athletic team.

I only caught a bunch of the first half in the first game, but the thing that stood out to me was how much the ball was moving around selflessly and creating decent looks. It was fun to watch, and I have to admit (dare I say it!) a sign of decent coaching.

Ball moving and effort defense on the perimeter. Hopefully AJ Green doesn't continue to get one of the worst whistles in the NBA.
