Been keeping tabs on the Bucks for the last few years and enjoyed watching Giannis get bigger and stronger but always a bit frustrating
because they didn't have the right coach and were missing a few pieces. Off to a 3-0 start with the new head man, brand new arena to
play in, and a lot of excitement from the fan base. There is room on the bandwagon if you want to hop on. I'll try to keep some Bucks
thoughts going in this thread over the course of the season and playoff run.

Budenholzer is a MASSIVE upgrade over Kidd. I'd love to see Milwaukee make it out of the East this year.

Most of you Dofusses loved Jason Kidd

Your senility is showing against. Most of us have thought he was an awful coach since his NJ coaching stint.

AGAINST What? My senility gives me a huge edge against you Image

Tough loss last night in Portland. Another subpar shooting night. Golden State tomorrow night on TNT, too bad it is on too late for me to watch.
After that they have back to back games this weekend at Clippers and Denver. Going to be fortunate to get out of this road trip 2-2.

It's a tough road trip. All of the teams are playing well.

That GS game will be fun.

Nice win last night. I wasn't able to watch but according to highlights they had control over most of the game and then ran away with it when
Curry limped off the floor. No Draymond either so it wasn't a full on battle but still a good win on the road.

They finished up that west coast roadie 2-2. Lost a tough OT game to the Clippers but beat a solid Denver team last night. Looks like their
next 6 over the next week and a half are at home so it is time for them to make hay there. I'll try to tune in on Wednesday against Memphis
for at least the first half.

good win last night. Team shot 57% from the field, that's quite impressive.

Brook Lopez drained 8 threes including a couple from close to 30 feet. Crazy. They are going to have nights where they shoot like that and they
also mix in a bit of defense from time to time.

Pretty sure me and the wife are gonna go to the Bucks vs Atlanta game first week of January. Seats are dirt cheap compared to UC prices. I can get front row floor seats on the baseline for $150 per or center court 10-20 rows up for as low as $100 per. Easily 3-4x cheaper than the same tickets for Bulls.

And the game is a Friday night which makes it even better and easier to do.

That should be awesome. Any seat in the lower bowl between the benches should be very good. I need to make arrangements to see a game as well.

Big game for the Bucks coming out of the break tonight. At home against Boston with Kyrie back.

Mirotic making his Buck debut

Dumb. Unsurprising though.

If anything Horford is the next best player after Kyrie.

Not sure how much he has left in the tank but thought picking up Pau Gasol was a nice move for the Bucks. This team has quite a bit of size with 7 players at 6'10 or taller.

Clinched the top seed in the east last night. Should be an interesting playoffs. Actually the first playoffs I have been excited for in a while. Should be able to get by whoever the 8 seed will be but after that, no easy outs in the East. Bucks haven't proved anything in post season play. Giannis has had a great season but not sure they will give him the MVP.

I only disagree with the bolded part. A few months back I would've agreed with you, but the shine is off the East IMO. The only 2 good teams are Milwaukee and Toronto. Philly is a fraud team who plays no defense and has pieces that don't fit together. Boston has been a joke most of the season, no reason to think they're going to instantly figure it out now. Indiana has done an admirable job staying competitive, but the lack of a star player is going to expose them in the playoffs. The rest of the conference sucks, although I wouldn't count out the Nets in terms of a first round upset, but that will happen at the expense of one of those fraud teams, not the Bucks.

Wake me up when it's Milwaukee vs Toronto in the conference finals.

And this is the horse that MANY here choose to ride on. It will be Philly/ Boston in the Eastern Conf Finals. Book It!

I liked the attitude they showed last night and enjoyed it when Bledsoe threw the ball at Embiid. Thought they had streaks of being soft but liked what I saw last night. They just don't have a lot of playoff experience so should be interesting to see how they handle it. Tough out at home and having home advantage will be key but let's see.

I think the biggest problem that they will have in the playoffs will be that they don't have a true #2. Teams will gameplan for the Freak. They don't have a 2nd guy that is a true prime time player. Every other team has legit #2 and #3 options. I know Middleton made the All Star team but that was mostly due to playing on a team with the best record in the conf.


In the playoffs I think teams will be able to stop what they do.

Made mincemeat out of the Pistons. Next series against Boston will be interesting. Brogdon supposed to start playing 5 on 5 in practice this week.

Worse than Brewers fans? I’ve followed the team since the 80s and went to games regularly in the early 2000s. I think it’s the nature of things these days for people to glom on to whatever or whoever is hot. It would be nice to have an NHL team but to your point, after the first season or two who is going to support it? Do they draw for the Admirals?

Enjoyed the game last night. I really enjoy NBA basketball when they let them play defense. Should be an interesting series and game 3 will be a big one.

it's been a while since the bucks were good, so i see it as refreshing. i still recall the "big 3" team that gave the sixers fits in the eastern conference finals all those years ago. "ray allen...for 3!" became a meme before memes existed. and "big dog" robinson was ferocious.

i hope this is a good series. celtics are great at home though.
