    Yeah, probably around there, however if there is another significant injury, it changes everything. If you miss Khris for 5 weeks or something, it's bad now, but you still win some games. Anything like that happens and you're right in the discussion for tanking.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    Problem is that I dunno what choice they have. Trading Middleton or Holiday? That really gonna happen? It would not just tick off Giannis, but is someone else taking those contracts on? Maybe, I'm not well versed in NBA money lingo. They could be a lottery team anyway, I'm not sure there. they were 6-5 this year without him I think, but obviously way different when you pick and choose your spots. I'd think knowing he's out a year would help you out a little and you change the offense. I could see lotto team, but in the East I could also see a .500 team, aka exactly what you don't want to be in the NBA.

    No Giannis + Middleton out for a month or something = "see what we have on the bench/4th overall pick time." It makes me puke we are even discussing this before game 5 of the ECF. This is honestly just awful.

    I'm not mad at you. I just find your hyperbolic "this guy sucks, we suck, this is embarrassing" routine tiring. The other teams are trying to win. I don't think most people know that ATL started this season 14-20. They've been a top team since changing coaches. Bucks should've handled them without Young and Jrue/Mids didn't show up. There's no excusing that. But the Bucks were down 10 points and had 19 minutes to play. That is nothing in the NBA. They already looked better to start the half. The outcome of the game was completely in the air. People were doing the exact same "We're done, we suck" in Game 3. ATL wasn't just going to lay down and die. They're good. On the other thing, personally, I think it's irresponsible of an MD to blast out to 175k people "season definitely over" while a guy is literally having his knee examined by his actual MD. All I said was that you can tell next to nothing about severity of an injury via TV and the couple seconds that follow unless he's dead or bones are protruding. It is quite different from me guessing on BF that his season is over, I'm not sure how you equated the two. Practically speaking, I don't think it really matters if Giannis "can" go. He's not James Harden where you can shoot him up and have him shoot jumpers. How is he possibly leaping and cutting? We are all praying for a miracle, but, just doesn't look possible.

    I don't think that is correct. They did trade the 2022 first rounder but ended up requiring it. I could be wrong.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    “Guys! You can’t judge something based on how it appeared on TV!!” *Let me just go and judge the severity based on the coaches demeanor on TV though* Key word there would be guess. And I think I qualified it pretty clearly, but you do you. I am surprised you are still here and not embarrassed by the 50+ win team that is always flat and embarrassing.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm fully expecting the worst news today. Since I'm grasping at any silver lining here, and there really isn't one...if Giannis did tear his ACL, the Bucks should consider tanking next year. They own their 1st round pick in 2022.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    The way this season is shaping up, I am starting to think it may be our best chance at a WS appearance in my lifetime. One of the teams from the West is likely out in the WC game. It is within the realm of possibility that the Dodgers lose the play-in game. With our rotation, this thing is wide open for us.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm already sick of the 'shortened season injured Giannis' take. He fell awkwardly and got hurt. It could happen in the first game of the year.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    Omg, I was 100% sure Hader tore his ACL doing that.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Twitter can hot take all it wants but you can't determine the severity of injury by TV unless the guy's leg snapped in front of you or something. You can twist stuff awkwardly and be fine, or not fine. The team likely knows how bad it is already. If something is torn in there, the doc knew when he got his hands on it. If things are intact, then they need imaging. This could be anywhere from a sore week, to out all of next season. His facial expression, the way it bent, and him walking around just don't say anything other than he "got hurt." I am guessing his year is done though based on Bud's demeanor.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah it's all on Game 5 now. The prayer you toss up now is that Giannis isn't that bad, can be back in a few nights, and they can hold them off in 5. House money in Game 6, and get it back to MKE for 7 with Giannis able to go. That's the miracle at this point. If Giannis can't go at all, the Finals mean diddly to me.

    I think the Bucks would still have a shot this series without Giannis if Young is back. They played some nice games this year without Giannis. The balance would swing to ATL, but I wouldn't call the series over. But again, unless it meant Giannis was back and 85% for the Finals, I wouldn't really care. Completely sucks the joy out of it.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't think anyone thinks losing Giannis lost this game. 18 minutes is a long time though, we probably would have lost the last game without Giannis for the last 18 minutes. And a bunch of other ones. I don't care really. If Giannis is destined to be limping around for a month or can't go, we are toast.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    I could see us still figuring it out without Giannis, not a great chance, but a chance with the last 2/3 at home, and a hobbled Young. But that would mean Giannis is seriously hurt, so the Finals would be a waste of time.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    This is when I wish the white flag was a thing. Just end the game and do the MRI or whatever.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Well this just went from bad to catastrophic.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    13 points? Can't remember
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    I still feel like they're gonna win for some reason, probably because I don't think any team is capable of being that bad for a whole game, and 11 points is like a field goal in the NBA.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    The Bucks will end up winning this game by 10.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm disappointed. I think we were going to beat them in 5 anyway, and now they get an excuse, and everyone gets to poo poo Milwaukee for getting lucky. They had like an 11% probability of winning the series at this point with him playing. I know the injury happened during the game...but I really liked our odds of winning that game beforehand. At the end, I don't care, and I'll take a championship for Milwaukee any way I can get it. But we woulda beat them anyway. I guess pro athletes can beat other pro athletes, but I can't see the Bucks losing this one. They are just totally outclassed without him on the floor.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    George is also the reason they don't have a 3-2 lead.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Brewers WS would mean more to me than a SB, although I am also more satisfied than upset when the Brewers get knocked out of the playoffs. The competitive balance isn't the same, and I empathize with their front office and the very real and enormous hurdles they have to just being competitive. I never really expect that I'll see a WS, but the Brewers making it to the playoffs is pretty close to what making the Super Bowl is given the differences in the leagues. It's not really because I expect more out of the Packers, it's that I consider what they do most of the time as "blowing it" whereas the Brewers sitting 46-33 is a small miracle in itself.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    I doubt Young would use it though I don't particularly like him and think he's pretty annoying. Predictably their fans are using it and acting like they had the series in the bag if only he hadn't bruised his bone.
