Should Bobby Portis be the Sixth Man of the Year?
We have to trade Kris Middleton in the Off-Season. He’s cooked from a health standpoint. We will be lucky to get 40 games out of this guy.
Playoffs start on 15 April I think he has enough time to rest
Anyone ever think that this team is better than last year and we don't need khris to win the chip ? All I hear is we need Middleton fully healthy to win , maybe we don't though.. just trying to think positive 😅
Gotta say it's great to see Wes shake the dust off, seems once again Bud has saved him just for the post season. In a worst case scenario with Khris, having Jae and Wes we can both start wil allow us to let Jrue be more of a scorer and less of a primary defender.
In other times we can sub in Ingles for one of Jae or Wes and have Jrue take a back seat on offense and put more energy into being a defensive force.
Kane: Let’s start with the positive of clinching the 1 seed.
Frank: spends next 10 minutes talking about Middletons injury……….
Yesseri- Bob .. Giannis & the 🦌Bucks are gonna revisits the White House this Summer 🏆💍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Is frank a hater? Am I tripping
On the positive side Wes is really making a good case to be part of the playoff rotation. I think for the 1st and even the 2nd playoff round we can survive with Joe , Wes and Jae taking the minutes of KM.
Damn khris. Khris is a good ball player, but he was not a MAX deal player last contract. This time around, he definitely better not receive a max deal next year. Sorry khris middleton fans but you need to step into reality. Giannis is the only reason middleton is still on the bucks.
Lets see how much HCA is really worth.
I think at this point it's safe to say that the Bucks can live with a 20-25 minute Kris coming off the bench acting as scorer in the playoffs. The team is so deep and Jrue is so improved offensively so there's no point in trying to squeeze Kris in the staring line up disrupting the well established offensive schemes that have been developed so far. Even in their championship run in 2021 the Bucks didn't have a quality off the bench iso-threat that can shock the opponent's defence when needed. I think this would be a good way to make something positive out of Kris's conditioning problems.
Are you all not happy with our defense and offense without Grayson Allen and Pat Cannaughton? Can you guys see how favoritism has been hurting the team. I think Pat and Allen can play few minutes like 5mins per game each. But should not and must not be our starters. Let them take time and finesse their games. They are not there yet. This is my 2cent on this
BP really sparked the team in the 3rd, Brook and BP are a luxury to have on this team for such a discounted price. Also wouldn’t mind seeing more headband less Jrue mid game.

I kind of hate the idea that we can’t win without Khris. We’ve been doing it all year and personally I feel like as bucks fans we should just admit we choked last year instead of blaming the absence of Khris. We were up 3-2 without him and lost two in a row because we left Grant Williams open and he couldn’t miss. IMO we could’ve and should’ve won that series without him. The team is deeper than ever and Jrue and Brook are playing some of their best ball. Khris is just the cherry on top of what should be an easy ride to the 2023 title.
Crowder 0 points, Holiday 7 turnovers, Dragic DNP, this is the worst coached team in NBA history
Not being a doctor, it seems like Khris is headed for knee surgery after the season, and Giannis could be headed that way as well. The Bucks just need to go all out and get that 2nd title in 3 years, and then let the future do what it does with the knees, ankles, etc.
Very proud to own the #1 overall seed it will pay off big time in the playoffs but we will only go as far as krhis’ knee will allow. Definitely don’t want to be negative, I think we have a legitimate chance at a title with the best player in the world but can he do it without khris being 100%?
Just to make sure, i googled "re-aggravation" this term, i am not sure i like what i saw. i hope next 10 days give Khris enough time to recover, and grayson and Pat! i hope we are not having another year like last year 🤐
It was an odd game in that only 6 players scored for the Bucks. Jevon Carter continues to be a critical part of the team shooting 50% from 3 for the game, along with solid defense. But the Middleton injury really is concerning.
I prefer to play Boston in the 2nd round verses the ECF. I honestly hate them so much and their fan base that I hope they get bounced in the first round. 😆
The difference between this year and last is that you can make an argument that we can get through the first two rounds without khris
I like how Kane said he wanted to celebrate the win and clinching the #1 seed and Frank goes immediately into the Khris injury. 😂 Perfect encapsulation of the podcast’s dynamic.
To beat Boston, Milwaukee is going to have to grind them and make it a half court game. They need to slow down tempo and bang with the smaller Celtics. Lopez is going to need to score more and stress the Celtics interior defense.Giannis will need to be a facilitator. Holiday, Middleton, and rest have to hit their jumpers.
"You got one in ya" Was that dig at Frank's age???? LOL
