I can be positive, too.
Tldr: stop doom and glooming my Bucks because they need a year, ok?? National media?!

Amazon. Doesn't matter what I try. Blurry, crashing, and behind.
I’ve yet to watch a peacock game where there wasn’t at least 50% of the game where the picture was blurry.

CJ is 3/11, 0/6 from 3, has 6 pts, in 20 mins. Thanks for your good game of the week. My team didn't *deserve* to win, but you didn't have to give a shit either.

I think the issue comes down to what @mebartl8.bsky.social has been saying. The salary slots they have put you at a decent 3 but their pick capital is in the range of a really good 3. Trying to square that and not overpay will be tough. Lavine or derozan? Absolutely not. Murphy? Not enough assets.

Oh wow Kalani Sitake is staying at BYU? I guess sometimes that's just how the big cookie Crumbl's

There's also one very funny last hail mary; there is a coach who has ties to Giannis, who was a former player (he likes that), took over a new team that had a bad/stale offense a year ago, and in 1 year turned them into top 5 offense and got into champ series. Hire him? (I love blind resumes, haha)

Edens has been pretty aggressive firing coaches mid-season. Very aggressive.

Everything they've tried to make better has made us worse. We're on an incredible run of hustling backwards. There's no pride anymore. Squeeze another penny, good enough
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Don't know what seed is "best". Will be matchup year. Don't want to mess with playin, prob. Over last 25 years 6 seed avg 44 wins, 7 seed 42. So, besides arbitrary pressure to "look good", still time to get right. 34-26 from here gets there. That would be "disappointing", but sky hasn't fallen yet.

Don't get weird about Giannis's social media. That's his go to move.
Get weird about why every single time they play any bench unit it collapses into a pile of unplayable dust.

But he appreciates Khris Middleton, now! Progress!
The upshot of Doc’s press conference: He doesn’t have the locker room, and he thinks it’s a player issue, not his.
He praised ATOs/sets, but when asked if he was surprised by the young Wizards, he said, “I wasn’t. But I’m not playing, so I can’t do anything about it.”
Yikes.

Their plan to build/play small has really backfired on them, too. The price they had to pay vs what they could've spent it on makes it fine. They had no $. But putting all your plans on an 8 game April win streak and a 5 game playoff series didn't work. The roster hasn't offered the coach many outs

The answer is probably Thibs because he wouldn't have any problem picking their 6 best guys and never looking back. It's a bad idea, but so much of this roster being unhelpful makes it the right bad idea. It's not a real idea. But it's not not a real idea

I guess you just give Ham the appointment and see what happens

Giannis got hacked. Got no calls. Again. Giannis got called for a charge. His coach didn't challenge for him. Giannis gave up. He gave the effort he was getting back.

Their best defensive possession of the game was the CJ 3, too. Just an incredibly dumb effort. And you earn that result.

Clippers led 46-44.
They trail 74-48.
Yes. That is a 30-2 run.

Take your small sample and shove it. The two point guards outplaying/out growing even optimistic expectations makes a lot of other future plans operational. Let's go

When Giannis is called for a charge, you don't have to look for the DIII basketball player who's been making a mess of development for multiple seasons holding the iPad behind your bench to decide to challenge or not. You just challenge.

Giannis just got fouled 7 separate times in a possession by 3 different players. No whistle but these refs at least looking out for Marvin bagleys whistle!

Mark Bartelstein has billion clients. Many them past, present, and future Bucks. He knows how they operate. And continues to work with them anyway. Some of his clients include Bobby Portis. Michael Porter Jr. ... Pete Nance. Dec 15 man, there's no need to wait. TMIII isn't walking through that door

This is a game that feels like the Bucks knew they'd have to play really hard for 6-8 minutes to win. And they're prob right. But man is that annoying when they've looked lost for 3 weeks. No one convinces themselves they're good faster than the Bucks of the last 3 years. All completely unearned.
