Cooper Rush is going to look like Mac Jones on Sunday (complimentary to Cooper - derogatory to LAR)

I will listen to the season preview podcasts and that’s probably it (unless the bucks are good).

Going to see if we can enjoy a basketball season for a change!

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 💪

If they all come into the season with that attitude then it just turns into either confirming priors or making excuses to justify saying he should win regardless of what actually happens on the court. Very frustrating considering the NBA media at large has moved the goalposts for him constantly

(Catching up on podcasts) Lowe and Goldsberry already giving Jokic the MVP before a single game has been played is 1) predictable and 2) why NBA discourse is so unbearable right now

Yep for sure. He’ll take the pressure off of a lot of these guys especially when it comes to handling the ball/playmaking

So...about those non-Giannis minutes for the #Bucks.

No Khris. No Dame.

GM Jon Horst said it's not a concern, per se, but admitted the team isn't really going to know what that looks like until they do it.

When I brought it up to Bobby Portis Jr., though🫣

Which Milwaukee Bucks are ready to stand up and fill the void when Giannis Antetokounmpo sits?

Bobby Portis Jr. and Kyle Kuzma will have roles in stepping up when Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo sits, as will Myles Turner and Kevin Porter Jr.

I think what's going to happen: AJax is going to be released. Bouyea is going to be released (or Sears, but I think they pick youth). Tyler Smith is going to be released. Tyler is going to be offered a 2way. He tries to find a new org. He comes back. Final roster:

I suppose it doesnt really matter what he says but why does he feel compelled to include the ‘I’m allowed to change my mind’ remarks

"I’m locked into whatever I have in front of me. Now if in six, seven months I change my mind, I think that’s human, too. You’re allowed to make any decision you want. But I’m locked in. I’m locked into this team. I’m locked into these guys, to this group and to my coaching staff and to myself.”

With LAR/BAL going south due to the Ravens' injuries, would Fox consider a 3-2 Seahawks team that just lost a thrilling close game versus a 4-1 Jaguars team that just beat KC in similarly thrilling fashion?

Nope! Just default to the same ol' America's Cowboys Game Of The Week™!

There were a lot of mistakes. Some innocent and some just dumb luck. Not hiring Kenny Atkinson 2 years ago and wasting 2 seasons without any identity will be a whole chapter

Shams Charania: Giannis Antetokounmpo and his agent Alex Saratsis have been “figuring out” which teams could find a way to acquire him if he were to request a trade mid-season.
