Are the books essentially seeing this game as a pick'em?

Post #26 » by **MickeyDavis** » Fri Oct 24, 2025 12:23 am

Yeah pretty much a pick 'em. Home opener probably a factor

Are there any advanced stats that can measure if our bonehead offense makes him move less?

Makes sense, we blew out a bad team and have a large amount of roster turnover -- especially at known star quality.

Hopefully we don't get absolutely hosed by touch fouls like we did against the Wizards. Some real soft contact getting called at the perimeter while Giannis was getting mugged and not getting calls. We won big with Turner shooting pretty horribly. I think we beat the brakes off of the Raptors.

I know you're asking about during the course of the season but the offense last night was very good, I thought plenty of movement. Whether that's measurable I don't know..

First 10 minutes before Porter went down were amazing.

Raptors feel like an extraordinarily bad matchup for the Bucks. We’ll see how the three small guard lineups hold up vs the all big scoring wing lineup.

We all love that Porter/Green/Trent lineup, but I'm curious to see how that can work against bigger opponents. Raps look on paper like a tough matchup with their length at G/F positions. This actually might be a good game to not have KPJ since it will force Doc play more Prince/Kuzma and maybe Coffey if he decides to go 10 man deep again.

Anthony (20)/Rollins (28)
Green (28)/Prince (16)/Anthony (4)
Trent (28)/Kuzma (12)/Prince (8)
Giannis (32)/Kuzma (12)/Portis (4)
Turner (28)/Bobby (20)

Bucks win.

Must win to avenge all the poo poo platter Raptors trade suggestions for Giannis

Scott Foster, Rodney Mott and Matt Kallio are the officiating crew.

Take this with a grain of salt but per Grok: MRI confirmed sprained ankle with no additional structural damage for KPJ and will miss at least the next 2 games with hopes he will return "soon after the road trip." Says sources are ESPN & The Athletic with nba.com as the secondary source. If 100% true this is huge news. We may have avoided disaster.

It will be interesting, but going bigger might not be the answer. The Raptors attack the basket off the dribble, so playing a quick lineup might be necessary to stop that dribble penetration.

We should play Ajax for defense today.

Kpj run offense was a treat to watch. I think he also had a dunk.

Bucks 120
Maple Leafs 104

Love the Rangers thing, MD. I'd make an Original Six joke here but it would be even less funny than my usual and nobody under 50 would get it anyway.

Very good news and it didn't cost me anything. Double win.
