You guys really think the league office wants to keep it’s MVP out of the conference finals because of market size? Hopefully continued winning alleviates the paranoia so many of us seem to suffer from.

Am i the only one that despises the “Built to Stay” campaign the bucks have been running?

Was able to convince the boss to pay for Game 2 tickets as a "team-building" activity. Will be a lot of first NBA experiences for my international coworkers. Was shocked they still had large groups of tickets still available

I hate nearly every pithy slogan in sports. The worst are the shirts that teams wear during the postseason, whether it be pro or college. "Fear the Deer" is one of the few I like because it's specific to the Bucks and isn't contrived motivational/inspirational.

It's lame as hell.

Is it weird that we don't have many folks jumping on the bandwagon?

Took a while for the Warriors bandwagon too.

Such a long wait until game one.

Good job! I think a lot of it has to do with how long it took for the dates to be announced. That's good for die hard fans who will make it to the game no matter what, but for most they need to see the dates first.

I guess I haven't payed close attention over the last 20 years but are there usually multiple 3 day rests between games? I thought it was every other night usually?

3 days off is ridiculous.

Giannis got a couple of calls in game 4 that he didn't get in the regular season. I don't think he's going to get much of a whistle in Boston but we have 4 if needed at home and I think he's going to get MVP benefit of the doubt at home.

Might go to game in Boston if the dates line up with my time off. Working in Pennsylvania this week and may take a trip to the garden. Kind of strange because I still haven't been to a game at the Fiserv Forum.
Think it's a hard fought series but Bucks win in six due to Boston's inconsistency. I do worry about Bud being to rigid with his game plan. I hope he is more willing to make in game adjustments than he was during the regular season.

I haven't entirely given up hope of a last minute trip for the finals. I don't know what I'd have to promise the wife to do so tho.

Hell yes, I'll be there too!! Also not sure what promises will have to be made, but it will be worth it.

Ya there's some risk with a campaign like that, when they started the campaign 4 out of 5 starters and top 2 recently traded arrivals all are at risk of not being here next year. I mean, there's some irony in a slogan like that.

Built to stay.....hopefully...if we can re-sign 4-5 of these guys!?

Really weird.

I'm glad we're playing on Sunday instead of Saturday. An extra day of rest and healing for Giannis, Brogdon, Mirotic, and even Snell.

Bucks are an early 8 point favorite.

Opening line Bucks favored by 8

Bucket list, mahn. I love you Aussie blokes! Feels.

Good news is as long as we have Giannis we likely have multiple shots at winning it all. First trip to the finals if it's this season would be extra special tho.

100% this. We can now start the narrative of hatred from another teams fan base because 'Giannis gets calls'.

Just an FYI lads. It's 3am for us.

****'s sake Jez, what kind of a party are you organising here?

The app I read legit said 4am. Now it says 3. Or I don't know difference between 3 & 4. This is possible.

I have a 45 minute drive each way to crown. I may pass this one as I could die. Also my wife is on placement so no Finals for me, not that I can afford anyway :lol:
