Are we better than last year?

Experience and health are two major factors that make us better, Giannis improving, Donte making Brogdon absence zeroed,Mathews looks like god damn good pick up and Kash can bring his A game.

I want better improvement on the sagging defense and giving free floaters and we will be unbeatable.

I am pleased so far despite the shaky start

This is not a 50 win team without Giannis.

That 4-2 start feels a very long time ago.

The Bucks bench would be tied for the 8th best +/- for Starters in the league.

Yeah, 60 win minimum.

Defense is better and Giannis is better

So yes

Lol!

As in 50-59 wins? I wouldn't bet on that

But if you mean they could hit the 50 win mark, sure.

This roster without giannis is probably better than the Pacers especially in the east right around 45-50 wins.

You do seem to be posting more this season.

the good posters are posting at alltime low levels that ive seen. a little here. a little there. the couple trolls are posting silly stuff and the only real debate is countering them.

good times. good times for bucks fans

Sorry man. I’ll pick up the pace a little.

It’s just that the Bucks no longer need us, the long suffering old school fans, to cradle their desiccated, frail corpse of a team and try to breathe life into the franchise and the city. The Bucks have been born again, the city loves them again, and our ministrations are no longer needed. This little golem we have protected, formed, and cradled over the years is ready to become a real little boy all on its own, and spread its wings, and fly out of the nest towards a gorgeous moonlit future.

Only way to look at this is by comparing the same point in the season. Last year, the Bucks had 7 losses by this game 23. Also, in game 23, the Bucks had 31 year old T. Maker play 21 minutes in an actual game. Let that sink in, then send Horst a Christmas card.

a perfect summation of Giannis' greatness. Why i think he will never leave. He sees what he can become here.

The chemistry appears to be through the roof. Everybody gets along and seems to want to be a part of this team. That wasn't the case last season with Brogdon.

Best defense in the league and fastest pace. Going to guess that combo hasn't happened many times if ever. Maybe the Celtics in the 60s

Warriors for sure did it.

So a better record 23 games in automatically means we're a better team

Are we better now than we were last year?
