They have 2 stars in Giannis and Middleton, and just a bunch of quality role players

Long as we get KD and Kyrie or Kemba I think we'll be fine

Is Middleton even a star?

They got a top 5 player, a top 10ish guy at PG SF and a top 15 guy at SG C.

Helps when ppl don’t care how much they score

And they are so much easier to root for when you don't have to take down the roster just to enlist mercenaries.

It should be just Reggie and Marv.

i like doris

I just meant for tonight's game. Get rid of Webber.

If I were to pick my top team, it would be either Marv or Breen doing play by play and Hubie as analyst.

Agreed. After Giannis, the Bucks are just solid 2-10. Lots of shooting and another north-south player in Bledsoe. And they're all defenders. To get back to K-DOT's initial point, it's why some of us are harping on the need to get additional vet depth. We will need to cash in at least some of our youth. They're not ready to roll with a KD.

Funny how many people doubted the Bucks after Kawhi made that lucky shot on the Sixers.

I feel like there is no blue print to follow. You can even win with just 1 superstar. The mistake is when teams try to copy other teams like golden state, or now teams may try to copy Milwaukee but it's really impossible to successfully duplicate. They have one of a kind type players.

The great teams create there own blue print.

Giannis is a special special player.

Bucks also have solid role players around him. Loved it when they picked up Mirotic. Lopez hitting 3s has made them tougher to guard. Lopez can still hit you with his post moves too. Middleton is a rock. Just dependable and giving you lights out 3pt shooting.

Bucks GM did a tremendous job building up that roster. And Bud did a great job with this offense. Kidd was a train wreck.

He really has. All these moves to fill out the roster with guys giving them double digits have paid off big time.

Mitch in his "project" year has made Robinson vs Allen a debate. That's embarrassing for the Nets.

I’m like Macri. I credit BKN a lot especially their GM. A lot of what they’ve done is what I wanted to do. Still, this is pathetic. You’d think they’d be thrilled they found their C for the foreseeable future by taking on 6 mil in dead salary. Nope n

It’s never a good look when you have to tear something else down to make something else look good.

Totally agree. I do have some questions about the over all strategy because I think they can be a perennial 2nd round eastern team for a while, but I don't see championships in their future just yet. They remind me of pre-Harden Rockets. Rox basically built a team out of exclusively FA. I don't know it there will be any James Hardens out there for that taking (though they are sure trying with DAR).

Seems to me that Budz has figured out that the Raptors cannot stop anybody at the rim and they're just rinsing and repeating on that one thing and it's enough. Gasol trade seems like a disaster now.

Wish it was Breen and Hubie (Jeff can stay).

Seriously where's Greenie though.

I need her to remind you that KD won't save us.

The Splash Brothers are the biggest reason why the Warriors have been successful. KD will be lost in NY and post-up his way to a second-round exit (at best). Don't get it confused, Curry is the best player in Oakland.

Suspended, as I understand it.

Meyers did an 8-ball before the game

Lillard can kill you on defense

Greenie was suspended, went to another forum, and says she's done here.

Who makes it to the finals?
