GT: Bucks East Coast v. Bucks (8pm start-No TV)

[cinematographer]

Great idea: let's draft a unique player and play him like we would Charlie Bell. That'll maximize Giannis.

[AussieBuck]

Reddwing is happy drafting Randle.

Just want to throw this out there- I've beaten Trevor Ariza at a game of HORSE, and the dude was trying his hardest to win.

Context?

I'd rather not given context, and purely claim the victory over an NBA player.

If I have to give context; his dad played for the Sydney Kings for a few seasons back in the 90s as an import, I was playing some rep ball at the time and got to do some training runs with the team rebounding balls, running errands and occasionally being a warm body in practice to throw in. I'm guessing I was 16 and Trev was probably 6 or 7, but still- I beat an NBA player in a legit game of HORSE when they absolutely tried their best and were very unhappy they lost.

Reddwing, you went on a huge awesome rant yesterday but now you're fine with winning tonight. I don't get it.

I believe there's medication for that

We ran a bit of stuff for Bell.

Hard to root against them tonight. They are playing with heart. I'd rather see my team do that than roll over like the Sixers.

You'd rather possibly decrease our chance of landing one of Wiggins/Parker/Embiid all for a meaningless win in a lost season??

This game isn't going to make much difference.

There's many games you're rooting for a win. A win here or there can easily be the difference in getting a top 4 pick or top 5-6 pick this year. That's the point.

[ReddWing]

I understand the feeling, but I just disagree. We're too close. Philly is too close to us. The chance that we miss on one of the top 4 is too real. There is no margin for a feel good story anymore.


edit: I'll take the monumental comeback and close game as a moral victory for the fans. I tuned in at halftime and almost turned it off. Glad I didn't.

We can't worry about Philly. They are a disgrace to this league and the only way we remotely compete with their suckage is to gut this entire team. MCW doesn't deserve rookie of the year after this season. At least Orlando is still trying to compete.

[Fresh_Prince12]

we really gonna chase and foul? why make this game longer? you know they got a concert after this

[vegaspacker]

Uwm vs Uwgb is a really good game atm, Horizon League semi-f. Its on ESPNU...

Yes, yes we can and must worry about Philly. Sure it sucks that they're openly tanking and might not win another game. But it does affect the Bucks and that's a reality.

I'm a fan. I get wrapped up in these games and want them to win occasionally. How anyone can cheer against massive comebacks, regardless of the circumstances, goes everything against watching sports. A win here or there isn't going to make much difference at the end of the day. Not that I can do much about it anyways.

[vegaspacker]

BTW, sorry for being off topic during the game... I checked out early

I'm really not worried. The odds are in our favor for drafting top 3.

No offense RW, but your the fan that is stoked by getting the 8th seed and a playoff birth.

Yep.

And knowing Philly has constructed one of the most embarrassingly bad teams in NBA history, we are trying to wring a few more wins out of the middling vets we traded for at the deadline. Brilliant.

Not this year and not with this team. I want to see exciting basketball, win or lose. I don't want to see complete asswhippings by mediocre teams like Washington. We need some excitement going into the next season and I think this past month is providing it. Add a top 3 pick to this current group of players and I think we have a real shot at the playoffs next season. We don't need this 3 year rebuild.

[blazza18]

You know the Bucks suck, yea ? Mediocre teams have had their way with us all year.
