  1. Bogdanovic hit over 40% of his 323 catch-and-shoot 3s, but only 29% of 118 off-the-dribble 3s. This seems like a good thing. Bucks were #1 in the league in catch and shoot attempts two years ago and fourth in the league last season.
  2. Masks work to reduce the viral load. There is nearly universal agreement on that as far as I know. They are not a panacea but they seem to be the one thing that has been hard for people to do thus it's a huge focus in the news and elsewhere. And as for the "Experts" being wrong...the media does a really bad job of reporting science. A single study or model is not proof of anything. We are seeing study and peer review play out in real-time. Things have to be replicated before it becomes settled science and it oftentimes takes a lot of back and forth and sifting and winnowing to get there. So yes, one study in one particular environment with one particular set of subjects might say one thing but that doesn't mean the results are all encompassing. Also, we don't have a vaccine yet. We have two promising trials.
  3. I got to the second line and am convinced he will become a Buck: Has amazing wingpan (measured at almost 7 feet)… He is a total John Hammond pick. (edit: and that's not a rip on anyone. Hammond had a type)
  4. I would be looking at college juniors/seniors. They seem to be undervalued in the draft and usually have pretty high floors. Here are some seniors projected to go in Round 2: Payton Pritchard Udoka Azubike Markus Howard Lawar Stevens Cassius Winston Grant Riller Austin Wiley Mamadi Diakite
  5. They gave up a lot of picks but it's not like they can't recoup them with trades later on.
  6. http://www.funnyjunksite.com/pictures/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Its-Not-A-Tumor.jpg LOL. I can't type on my phone.
  7. Now there's a tumor they are going after Bogdanovic
  8. Draft picks after the lottery are all pretty much the same and if Giannis stays all their 1st round picks will be in the 20s.
  9. It's not like the risk is just with one's parents/grandparents. This thing doesn't travel with you to your gathering and stay there. Someone who is positive that gives it to a grandparent could easily give it to another family member who could then pass it on to someone else. The people who unknowingly catch it after it spreads at the gathering don't have the same say as the grandparents as to whether or not they choose to take the risk to get infected. None of the 7 who died attended the wedding. I realize few people will have 55 person get-togethers but I would not doubt if many are in the teens or even twenties. And this one: Plenty of people will celebrate Christmas at a parent's house and then head over to the in-laws. My brother used to do 2 - 4 thanksgivings every year.
  10. That's what worries me, along with the hunting opener next weekend. I've seen several posts and memes going around Facebook in the last few days indicating ideas like "you don't know how much time you have left with your loved ones, so don't sacrifice your holidays with them". It makes me want to slap those people upside the head. I mean, I get that family time and tradition is important, but if there was one time where it's prudent to break with tradition, this is the year to do it. We're doing a 5-person Thanksgiving and there are 4 that live in my house, but I can't quite get past how anyone thinks that 9-10 months in, we are going to a get corner on this with isolation and masks. No public official can come out and say this, but it is over and we lost. The US can't stop it. It's all crisis management now until we have drugs. Arguing over how effective lockdowns/masks/distancing are, are moot points by now. Even if masks were 100% effective and isolation is 100% effective (it is) it's not going to happen. The nature of exponential spread is such that a lot of people following along and a lot of people not following along just doesn't really make a difference. Even if a person does everything right, for many people the necessities of everyday living will force them to cross paths with people who aren't, or at least another person who came across a person who wasn't. It's also a virus. Sometimes you just get sick, and it's not because you did some terrible thing. I just feel like there's been so little acknowledgment of the reality that lots of things are beyond our control, and people are always going to make exceptions for themselves that they don't grant other people. I.e., "no should be seeing movie right now, but I'll just go this one time." We're animals and we spread viruses. It's happened throughout history. I know the rebuttal to this is that other countries handled it better, but that time has passed. We had to do that in January with some semblance of unity. and cohesion and it didn't happen. The other factor that has been mystifyingly under-reported is just how ridiculously unhealthy the US population is. I'll never believe that wasn't the single biggest factor that made it so devastating here. The fear is that it can get worse than it is right now. I don't think anyone is under any illusions that it's going to go away if we all start behaving responsibly. If everyone can do their part to keep it at bay as best they can that will do a lot to alleviate strain on the healthcare system.
  11. Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures in both sides and a collapsed lung. Let the Jameis INTs commence!
  12. Certainly is nice to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope we can get this current wave under some kind of control before the vaccine is able to be widely distributed.
  13. Oy. Enough of the politics, guys. You know the rules....or maybe you don't. Here is a reminder: 1) From Fan Forum Etiquette: What kind of discussion is not allowed? Please keep politics, religion, and sex out of the forum. Fairly or not, these topics have regularly resulted in threads going out of control. Also, please avoid contentious topics such as racial and ethnic issues. If you're into discussing these topics, we recommend the separate forum Brewerfan Political Scene. Other notes: 2) Just mentioning a politician doesn't make a post political. I could say "The Brewers haven't been in a World Series since the Reagan era." That is not political. If someone responded, "Man, the Reagan era sucked because...Reagan." That would be political. 3) Politics aren't the only topics to avoid. See #1. 4) Just because people are discussing a contentious topic civilly does not mean the thread will stay open. 5) No one is allowed to talk about Fight Club.
  14. Packers are currently the #1 seed in the NFC.
  15. Cardinals just won on a last second Hail Mary. Wow, what a catch by Hopkins.
  16. • 4-year deal worth up to mil, base value $103.5 mil with $2 mil incentives • New money avg. $23 mil/year (highest ever for OL, can reach $23.5 mil on incentives) • $30 mil signing bonus (highest ever for OL) Another $30,072,059 in March roster bonuses ($11,072,059 in 2021, $9.5 mil in 2022, $9.5 mil in 2023) • $62.8 mil in total comp over next 25 months, $48.125 mil next four months and $60 mil in next 16 months • Record-setting base cash flow for OL in years 1,3,4 and 5
  17. He's had like three of them down there this year.
  18. Browns were -3.5 faves. Had ball with three point lead and like a minute to go. Chubb breaks free and is headed for an easy TD....goes out of bounds at the one. I wonder how many people threw bricks at their TVs?
  19. Whew. D stepped up.
  20. I hate our defensive interior
  21. Clark is getting destroyed
  22. Can we stop with the runs up the gut on 2nd and 10?
  23. This is just a pathetic effort. Jaguars playing hard. GB is not.
  24. 3 man rush on 3rd down in the red zone is becoming a Pettine staple
  25. I think Indiana is going to get a heavy dose of reality next Saturday.
