No ligament damage. Unreal. I tore a ligament jumping up when he got hurt.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Omg we've been blessed by a cyborg superstar and he is still 26 years old. Some people are actually build differently...

I can’t believe it. A human knee cannot bend like that and sustain no structural damage. This guy is an alien.

Yep. Playing him would be us not learning our lesson of wanting too much. Let's be grateful, he didn't tear anything and it means we'll be back next year. Yeah I wanna win a chip but our players' health is the priority and this season is cursed. Every team has had something happen to their star player. It would be a relief to end this season knowing our key guys can come back healthy next year.

He will have 10 days until Game 1. He will be fine.

He is probably out for the series but just imagine we beat the Hawks tomorrow, lose the one in Atlanta and Giannis comes back for another epic game 7. This is some movie like ****.

They’re listing him as doubtful. Isn’t that a bit optimistic? Makes me think that they would consider bringing him back for game 6/7.

Yep it seems Giannis is cut from the same cloth as bron.

Then you have someone like d rose; goat like talent but his body failed him.

I would let him decide if we get to the point it’s even a possibility. It’s his knee, his career. I don’t think he’s so blindly competitive that he’d try to play with like a 25% chance of a serious injury. But 5%? 2%? I know you can’t really put a percentage like that on it but I think you at least weigh the risk instead of just shutting him down no matter what.

Great news. Awesome. So nice to have some sense of enthusiasm.

The Bucks need to be more competitive than they were during the 15-2 run that Atlanta went on immediately after Antetokounmpo left the game.

I worry that they won't be able to defend without GA34. Portis needs to step up in a big way, not just as an enforcer. They need to defend with purpose and desperation. Middleton will need some rest, with more offensive burden on him.

Offensively it starts with Middleton and Holiday, obviously, but they'll need a boost from Portis and Forbes.

I am rooting for Lopez and Budenholzer to surprise us.

For anyone (like me) wondering how this is possible - if this series goes the distance game 7 would be Monday 7/5. Using the 2019 finals as a rough guide that would put:
Game 1 7/8 (Thurs.) - 9 days
Game 2 7/11 (Sun.) - 12 days
Game 3 7/14 (Wed.) - 15 days

If he's really "doubtful" for tomorrow's game I don't see how he's not pushing to play by Game 3.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
