I just feel so betrayed by this whole thing. This style of basketball, these basketball players, it's just offensive. It's the poorest of poor taste. It's the basketball an idiot would choose. Why are they doing this to us? Who chooses this? I'm disgusted by this entire operation. So down. #Bucks
Ha. Yea. I just made the case it has to be 8-3

You are 3 wins out of the playin. You probably have to go 8-3 in this stretch. Because it's road heavy after. That gets you to 31-33. Hawks just went 5-5 in their last 10. If they go 5-5 again, you're tied for 10th before Heat/Hawks on road and west coast trip. You have to roll immediately.

That Magic team had multiple articles about season long struggles this morn. That Thunder win was a skeleton game before spring break. They count! But, also. But it's this 11 game stretch after the break. Challenging. Home heavy. Manageable. Truly 2026's last stand. We'll learn all there is to know

They have every piece of data we have and millions more and ignore what they don't like. I'm not holding my breath

Darvin played an 8 man rotation tonight. Giannis, Myles, Ryan are rotation locks when they're healthy. That's 11.
Who's going to have the guts to tell Kyle Kuzma he has tendinopathy and he needs to sit down????

I like Bobby Portis. I wish he played defense.

Man, did you see Thanasis stick his foot in floor and ghost that screen? Whew, put a helmet on the guy, I see Sunday sluggo's in every dc's nightmares

Nothing OKC could do; you just don't want to see the 'who he play for' Bucks on all-star break eve.
Gary Trent scored 21 a year ago today as the Bucks went into MN without Dame and GA and beat the Wolves before all-star. Wanna get weird? Last day before spring break, lets get weird.

These Bucks on the floor are rushing the ball over the half. They aren't rushing the offense, it's just making OKC start playing defense early. More of this. Darvin and kids

What if Cam Thomas just.... didn't have to take the most difficult version of every shot??
I know. Weird.

Kuzma can't be 6'10 and a decade in the league and can't finish. I can't wait til I'm free. 🙏

Dieng, the low help and not one of the 6'4 army
Like he has a defense that needed Dean Wade at the 3, so his low help is secretly just a stretch big. Hey, MPJ anyone??

Yea OKC let them off the hook, they're going to regret this approach to the 2nd in about 20 minutes

Man the Bucks should really Watergate the Thunder draft offices, what else are they hiding over there

Like a KPJ iso on Caruso. Just had to get one last nonsense over the line
This team is very good at making sure they're always the dumbest team on the floor. Don't just be at a talent deficit, make sure you're also mentally disadvantaged. To make sure.

Nothing like pure dumb luck 🙌
I think Dieng is going to be awesome. Why? Pure dumb luck. I think the Bulls got out way over their skis and got right up to the buzzer and literally didn't have a C. So they took a quick Richards panic. And that type of stuff weirdly comes back later. Ousmane Dieng NBA all-star downloading

Bucks have more shots and rebounds than OKC. A couple more turnovers. A few fewer free throws. Not perfect. But the added size has really helped get them into the math game

Why.
I hate this defense. It nonsensical. The help was there. Why was 25 ft of space given to the corner? I hate it so much. Why do they do this? Why do you make me hate you?
