Bagley and CoJo both listed as out for tonight against the Bucks.

The draft lottery can’t come soon enough.

That will dictate the free agency direction and hopefully give us more information to get excited about.

Well, if you want to make sure you lose a Giannis-less Bucks team on a road back to back, it's not complicated: you sit Cade. If you start him on the last home game of the year, you don't sit him after eight minutes of action.

All the bucks starters are playing, we’ll how many minutes they play but it seems like they want the 2nd seed

So Cade didn't just play 6 minutes in a game he started recently?

This is ugly

We look bad early.

We've started slow in almost every game recently. Then we battle back and make it close. I dunno what it is, but we just don't start games well.

whitehops · Post #15 » by **whitehops** » Fri Apr 8, 2022 11:21 pm

man the bucks defense looks a lot different with lopez in the middle there.

vege · Post #16 » by **vege** » Fri Apr 8, 2022 11:21 pm

Hayes and Stewart are useless on offense, and we can't do anything to slow down Giannis, this is a disaster.

Pretty much with Killian back as a starter.... that lineup just struggles more to score. And Killian has played decent recently but it feels like the lane just closes up inside.

I hope everyone SUCKS this game. It's one game and the draft pick is a bigger deal than any one player's stats, team growth, etc.

Keep it in perspective.
