Milwaukee Bucks

[NCF]

Since the Bucks won the title they have played 3 playoff games where Giannis, Khris, and Jrue finished the game and 0 where Giannis & Dame have. That is some damn bad injury luck.

Middleton sucks and is never available. Gotta try something different to keep Giannis happy.

I get the availabilty concerns, but he certainly doesn't suck. He put up 20+ points in 3 out of the last 4 games coming from the bench. He's certainly better than Kyle Kuzma.

Getting rid of Middleton for squat isn't going to make Giannis happy.

Kuzma is a better player than he’s shown this season in Washington. I blame the Wizard franchise for a good part of that. Just an uninspiring organization to play for.

Kuzma’s availability is already a big win. His youth is something the Bucks sorely need. I hate seeing Middleton go out like this but it’s the nature of professional sports.

Hopefully playing next to Giannis breeds some play accountability in Kuzma and he performs as the player he was a few years ago. In my mind this deal is a win for the Bucks, albeit a small one.

Hope you are right, but it isn't sounding like anyone thinks this is good for us. Seems more like a move to get under the 2nd apron. I don't like having to give up AJ Johnson in the deal either.

I also get where you are coming from… but to me, the sheer amount of availability concerns he has makes him completely undesirable and not dependable. Therefor, in my warped thinking, he sucks

Luka Doncic traded to Lakers for Anthony Davis, a 1st, and some other lesser knowns. Wow. Never would've guessed that.

AD injured already Mavs fans might burn the arena down.

The definition of class. Great player and even better person.

This team is cursed.

[Pugger]

This team is cursed.

Yes. I just heard Damian Lilliard is out the rest of the season with a blood clot. But this year's team isn't championship caliber anyway.

[Willink]

As a Knicks fan, no defensive foot movement and way too many turnovers by you guys

Kevin Porter Jr has been a revelation. That dude provides spark at both ends and has really jelled with Giannis. Infectious energy and grit. I don’t know how he played for the numerous other teams in his career but he’s been dynamite since arriving in Milwaukee.

[APB]

Buds is currently 8 - 1, while Doc is 2 - 8.

Your boy Bud got himself fired today after failing to make the playoffs with the largest payroll in NBA history.

Just got a crazy good feeling about this team with their backs against the wall. Usually, in this scenario, when a guy like Dame comes back it can be a too little, too late impact for a team. I just think they are rolling, right now, in high gear and what Dame does so well doesn't require anything else to change. Even if he is on a minutes restriction and can just create some offense with Giannis on the bench, I think this team can go deep into the playoffs. I really don't think Indiana has a chance to stop them this year. They are at least advancing to the semis.

I think Giannis us ultra motivated to win. He was going nuts those last several games he played. The question will be, who else steps up? But I am a bit more encouraged than I was a few weeks ago about their chances. But it's not going to be easy.

Not a Bucks fan but still can’t believe they traded Middleton for Kuzbum. Middleton is exactly the type of player you want with Giannis and they trade him for a bum.
