Worst part is never knowing when something is going to happen. I hate seeing talented players go down. It's the absolute worst. We've lost too many amazing years by amazing players to injury. Really stinks.

I'm sure he was clear to play. But if you're wearing a knee brace that big, then I'd have to question if it was really wise for him to play in the bubble. I'd have taken the whole summer off. Hope for speedy recovery but it looked very D-Rose-ish. Oof

Kind of looked like his knee popped out don't you think?

And that is a super hefty knee brace.

Yeah, it does not look good DOM. I'm upset for him because he's looked very good prior to his first knee injury this season. He's one of the guys that gets it done defensively, and it really sucks to see him go down like that. Same happened to Andre Roberson in OKC. it took like 3 years and he's finally back (on the roster at least). He just went up for an alley-oop from WB and burst into flames mid air, kept re-injuring the same leg over and over.

Bucks killing Roks bleh

Beard one deserves a ring before he retires. Not sure if he can get it done with WestBrook, but hope it happens some day if not against the Heat.

Beard's best chance was with CP3. Seems like that was the year Paul got hurt deep into the playoffs. Paul gets you dubs. You can't lose him. Injuries changing the historical landscape.

Bucks reminds me of prime LeBron Cavs (08 and 09?). Very good regular season team that's exposed when defense tightens up and the pressure rises in the playoffs

Yep and Khris Middleton is going to get exposed hard as an inadequate second banana.

They almost beat peak KD Warriors that swept the Cavs in the FInals.

Lost CP3 in game 6 to hammy, and missed all 27 3 point attempts in game 7 and lost only by 9 without CP3. That's all kinds of impressive but you cannot get any closer to winning a chip than that fiasco they did in 2018.

Screw Harden. He's not a real basketball player, he's a rules exploiter who represents everything wrong with today's game. His fans are obnoxious too. It would be wonderful if he never wins a title.

And we're going to get Giannis to start off a decade with championships again!

Leaks of Mo Williams 2020. Bucks have good rim protection, but most supporting casts don't have championship experience.

Let's just keep going with the Wildcats, Iggie. Anthony Davis in 2020. De'Aaron Fox in 2021.

Middleton's pretty good.

Post #1052 » by **DayofMourning** » Mon Aug 3, 2020 1:25 am

Would never really want Westbrook on my team, but gotta respect the guy for playin' balls out every game.

Always like Ersan.

No GS, as good of a chance this yr as any

This game and the Mavs game are like night and day. The Mavs really punished the Rockets for playing small, the Bucks have seemed content to just play into that style outside of a couple of post ups. No one is really crashing the offensive glass much

Post #1058 » by **Wiltside** » Mon Aug 3, 2020 2:27 am

Can we pls have Giannis?

Post #1059 » by **QUIZ** » Mon Aug 3, 2020 2:57 am

Rockets don’t even have Gordon. Just wait

Yes!!!!
