Game 51: Bucks at Mavs - 4/8/21 - 8:00 - BSWI

was hoping the bucks would go 3-3 on this road trip and am kind of disappointed... they should have had their 4th win the other night and shooting for 5-1.

Ha you're right. Bud is 3-2 up in the Bucks v Mavs games since 2019.

It’s funny to see how people literally pull **** out of their ass when it comes to Bud.

Curious who is out for both teams. KP, Klebler, etc makes it much more conceivable.

Prepare to be owned by Carlisle

I'll the the "L" on this. That said, we lost both games to them last year, and I recall the game threads were rather ugly as to our coaching issues.

I like Bud. But I think Carlisle is better.

I mean any game thread against a superior coach or perceived to be superior is a ****

Here's an example of a typical game thread:

I would bench Brook and start Thanasis. **** it.

I was surprised when looking up the H2H as it feels we lose to the Mavs when we play them more often than not.

I didn't take into account pre-season because it's pre-season. But if you do include those games from earlier this year, Carlisle goes ahead.

Giannis is out.

Bucks win.

I'm guessing Pajamas isn't suiting up.

Credit to Giannis for his Portland performance because it looks more and more like he shouldn't have played that. Shouldn't have played either of the Celtics games as well.

This injury should probably be more of a national story right now. Bucks doing well to keep it so low key.

This is very hard game without Giannis. Dallas and Doncic were trash in their last game so it could go really wrong if we don't play defense and allow them to shoot wide open 3s.

I think Giannis' injury is just one of those annoying ones that doesn't heal quickly and not something dangerous. If it was the playoffs Giannis could play through the pain but right now there is no reason to risk it. Just like Blazza said he shouldn't have played at all against the Celtics and the Blazers and maybe right now he would have been already 100% healthy.

I am happy he didn't force it more than he has already. The media has rarely mentioned the fact that the Heat beat the Bucks last year after Giannis left with an injury during a monster game. I doubt they want to give the Bucks any excuses for only being in third place in the East. Somehow being third in the East is a disappointment to them, but first doesn't mean squat because it's the regular season. The two seed. That must be the sweet spot.

It doesn't appear Giannis' knee injury is improving so yea, I'm worried. Just send his ass back to Milwaukee for treatment and say he's out for three weeks.

I feel like they’re just keeping Giannis out on the road for load management reasons more than anything. Not quite as exciting of a game, guess they can can be loose and hopefully sneak out a win
