VooDoo was definitely posting during the game reiterating that Giannis is signing. I wasn't even paying attention to the forum or the game and I saw that.

What kind of update are people expecting from them at this point? They've said he's signing and it's a matter of when, not if. At this point, the only real update you're going to get is them saying "Welp, just heard he's changed his mind" (which, let's be honest, they aren't going to say) or we'll hear from Woj/Haynes/O'Connor or whatever that Giannis is officially signing. There isn't really anything left for them to say at this point.

The Jackson Hole Jet was Wes Edens coming in from this place.

I will say the amount of people trying to clown voodoo is a bit perplexing. It’s not like he’s DukeH coming in here on a three day old account to tell us to be happy we even have a team. Dudes been a poster for like eight years.

That would have been Marc I think. Alex lives here year round I believe.

N793KK was the aircraft presumably Edens used to come in from Jackson Hole, WY. Arrived in MKE at 3:48pm today.

You can't just ignore how the team was beaten in the playoffs though.

Two preseason games with considerable roster shuffling & the contract decision... Not getting worried or anything just yet.

I appreciate what bud has done as far as actually giving stability and a culture, but I just don’t know how you can let him pass for the coaching performance in the last two playoffs. Then you add on his poor showings with the Hawks. Different coach and upgrading bledose were the two key things that needed to happen

Someone on Reddit claiming that Giannis is house hunting in MKE and looking to upgrade from his River Hills home. Has to be a good thing

I would word this differently.
I think both Hawks and bucks played to their talent level at the playoffs. What happened was normal.
What was not normal is how well they did in the regular season, which is just a party trick that Bud does with his deep rotations and numbers-friendly game.

Now whether that party trick means anything to us or not is a different story. To be honest it does mean a little something to me, simply because I actually watch a lot of regular season and I want my team to do well in the games that I watch. I'm human, can't help it :dontknow:

It is however a pretty cold shower in the play offs.
