The Bucks are an easy team to root for. Likeable group all the way around.

I went through the Bucks game thread and several of them complimented Borrego. They have a great, knowledgeable fanbase so that says something. I don't think this team would have came back with Clifford as the coach.

They have a bunch of Australian's in their fan base.

Australian's are drunks.

They are knowledgeable about being drunk.

That's about it.

He needs to not have sticky fingers.


Thats part of his game i think... He used to do that a lot is SA

I was thinking earlier this morning about how Giannis was sort of bullying Miles. Even though giannis has pretty underrated strength after developing his body like crazy since he came in, Miles is gonna have to add a little bit more muscle to fill that role as a combo forward that can play the three or four at a very high level.

I’d expect him to get this done in the offseason and we see an even more explosive Miles next year. I still think the sky is the limit for him, this year will just be about getting comfortable with the nba game, building his chemistry within the team, and finding his offense. Even though he wasn’t really involved I focused on him when he was in the game and he was really playing hard out there

As an Australian I must admit this is pretty accurate :lol:

Best sequence of the night.

I wonder what Cliff is thinking watching that with Kemba, Parker, Monk, Batum, and MKG stuffing Giannis on one end and getting a fast break dunk on the other?

Even though we lost, I still thoroughly enjoyed watching Brook Lopez pull up for a transition 3 (and brick it) while the Bucks offense was swirling the drain and I think Batum was our center. Slipping double-digit lead against a small ball lineup? Oh yeah, to hell with a methodical post-up on the mismatch, shoot dat three boi.

Don't think he was even drunk, he was just saving his dog from the roo.

Aussie drinking levels are at an all time low

I assume all Australians are completely insane (in a mostly good way).
