I can be positive, too.

Tldr: stop doom and glooming my Bucks because they need a year, ok?? National media?!

They do have to cut like 4 guys. He does play the position they need. They have 2 2 ways I wouldn't bat an eye waiving. They have had way more success reviving 2nd draft guys. I'm just monitoring!!

People are *awful* at predicting the future. Downright miserable at it. Verifiably. Don't resign yourself to an inevitability no one can predict anyway. We move. We acknowledge the short comings/gaps/issues, the truth in each moment, problem solve it and act on it. That's it. From here to June.

They're going to try to make the theme of the Bucks season "can they win a championship today" every day. And its *never* that. For anyone. Every single moment is new and unique. Sorry. Still true. Even if corny. Don't let them take the searching and the growing and the seeking and the changing 💪

Their lack of strength/physicality was a problem last night.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 22h

I can't be less impressed with Coffey. Prince has been what I expected. Maybe a little more aggressive but the same guy. For all the hope maybe familiarity would help Amir start fast and fill a hole, he's been the same uninspiring guy he just was. I'm with you. I don't think there's a gap to protect

Made coffee this morn and punter it across the kitchen because I wanted to know what it felt like to start every day in the hole like the beloved Brewers. Sabotage breakfast like they sabotage first innings. For solidarity.

Some of the great sports movie speeches, "the inches are everywhere", "you were born for this", "be perfect", "get back up", and of course the classic "nothing matters everything is a coin flip" haha

There is going to be a Game 5. And I know you will want to point to things like momentum and which team has its pitching lined up better and which team is better overall and which team has the better manager and which team has the better vibes and whic

It just doesn't matter. It's a coin flip.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

hitting it to the other team is a bad idea #managing #bigbrainsonbrad

Oh, watching playoffs? Got it, you were watching the playoffs.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

Where were you when Thanasis kept the dream of a perfect season alive?

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 4d

Can't go 102-0 without winning preseason game 1.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

I have a very real suspicion that Amir isn't better than Livingston. Maybe he's kicking his ass in practice but there's been nothing through 2 preseason games to suggest otherwise

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

I don't put a lot on who gets in when. Sometimes it's just a showcase and sometimes it's positional. But Amir got first qtr mins and Nance got in before Smith.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

Yea these guys have really been more physical at every spot

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

You can count to 10 a bunch of ways and he doesn't get there in a lot of them. I think he's going to contribute in the 15 games one of the other 3 bigs each doesn't play.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

Sims has ... not made an impact

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

The Bucks being too small on the perimeter to bother any shooters is definitely in play

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

I hurt myself today, to see if life's still real

Benjamin Hoffman @bhh.bsky.social · 1d

Ah yes, famously uncool singer Johnny Cash. I am glad noted arbiter of cool the Wall Street Journal is willing to reconsider his case.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

Amir and Prince together is really wing hell, they're getting torched.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

No wonder they're desperate for *him*

It's going to be a long year living with his boom or bust every night.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

Yea feels like it.

MEB @mebartl8.bsky.social · 1d

They might be the 5th best team in the east but they're the classic young tryhards that pop in the regular season
