Finally a game thread, same team we were to face when it was shut down. I'll open this back up the day before the game.

Bledsoe and Pat out.

Good to be back

This could be a money maker game for Sterling. Doubt he gets much playing time when Bled and Pat are back.

Not looking forward to Stevens putting one ballhander on top and having him play off the pulling guard and tackle, while the ref is befuddled by the silver bauble perched on his lips and neglects to propel air into it and signal the infraction.

Giannis dropping a 40 piece on 4/5 3s and 12/12 FTs with a Bucks win would make me [dealers choice: something sexual].

I get to be one of the 300 virtual fans for the game

The Madison daily newspaper is the Wisconsin State Journal. When they run a story on the Bucks and have a little thumbnail headshot of Giannis, the accompanying caption with the the photo reads "Giannis A." I find it endlessly amusing.

I really want them to bust Boston's ass today. Just a statement blowout.

They don't want people to confuse him with the Giannis who works at Parthenon.

This. 100%. And national media to pronounce 'rust'.

I'm excited for Bucks basketball to be back but I don't really care if we win this game. The Bucks don't have anything to play for so this game shouldn't be too different from the scrimmages. The primary focus should be getting the team as prepared for the playoffs as possible.

Start the brothers Lopez and play Giannis at the 3. Boston hurt itself in it's confusion.

Great to be back. Looking to see if they run Gianni/Khris screen game and maybe a bit of Gianni at center.

Still not sure if I should give a crap about these games or not

Making plans with a bud to grab some wings/beers and stream at one of our apartments felt surreal. Still the 2019-20 season huh?

Hope they can find Jayson Tatum on defense, because I sure couldn't under this mask. As Shaq quipped, "nice try, Klay Thompson."

Watch on YouTube

Statement game. 121-104.

Wins/losses don't matter but getting ready for the playoffs is what these games are about. I don't expect heavy minutes for anyone tonight but I'm happy to have Bucks basketball back.
