Cheesy topics (like the Cheese Curds thread) go here. Topics that aren't Packer related will be moved here as well.

Mmmm.... cheese.

They made another move too. Don't recall who. Cousins has latched on with a lot of top level teams. But we need another big man until Lopez comes back. Portis can't be the only guy. Hopefully can help in the post.

I guess we know why the Bucks signed Boogie. Lopez had back surgery today. No details as to what kind of surgery.

If Cousins can stay healthy, that might end up being one of the best additions of any team this year.

Got to watch a little of the Bucks/Celtics last night. The Bucks sucked. Looked sloppy, turned the ball over too much, took bad shots. Celtics were all over them and their 3 balls were dropping. Have to give them credit, they looked like the better team.

Hopefully Middleton is ok. Hyperextended his knee.

Bucks to waive DeMarcus Cousins ahead of Friday's guarantee deadline.

I get the strategic play but it still feels dirty. Cousins has been solid for the Bucks through a tough time of year. Would have liked to see him stay.

Does this also indicate maybe Lopez is nearing a return?

I really need to find a way to watch more basketball. Bucks aren't quite what they were last year, but Giannis is so fun to watch. Undisputed king of Wisconsin Sports right now.

They miss Lopez. So bad. I feel like it's similar to the Packers season. Wait around and hope to get him back and then look out, because he can change their outlook especially on the defensive end of the court.

The whole league seems like "wait around for "go" time" to me. Lots of load management for many teams, lots of covid issues. The teams leading the East are all the try hard teams. I agree they need Lopez to make a run, but I think they are just intentionally coasting for now. As opposed to be frustrated they arent the 1 see currently.

Would love Eric Bledsoe back on this team if he is available on the buyout market. Another shooter would be good, too.

Why is James Harden so coveted?

hmm....does this just mean the Bucks want to add toughness for the playoffs. Someone with defensive prowess to replace maybe a PJ Tucker? Or is this imply they arent sure about B Lopez reliability in the playoffs?

He's not. Just teams trying to pawn him off whenever he gets unhappy. It'll happen again.

Bucks are just under-manned right now. Needed another body at in the front court. They still need to fill 2 spots as they only have 12. Overall good move, even if Ibaka continues to suck. Gives them a body they need, but the 2 2nds are valuable. Our trade bait is next to nothing without those unless we move Hill.

Hopefully Ibaka rebounds (pun intended) now that he's here.

76ers went on a good run. Bucks went cold. None of the Bucks look great tonight. No one with a consistently good stroke.

But single digits going into the 4th. Time to get hot.
