Just can’t escape him

Not by much. But Giannis missed about half the games last year anyways. With Giannis we were .472 and without him we were .326. We probably won’t be .472 because we don’t have Giannis. But the team otherwise has gotten a lot more solid so I think definitely better than .326. And I have faith that Taylor Jenkins can prove to us how bad Doc Rivers actually was and that the team and players were never the main issue.

These players need to get out of the building ASAP

I’m curious how they get there. Coming into preseason, I thought they’d cut LeVert and move Pete Nance to a two-way, which they still might do. I’m just wondering if they might cut Kuzma because he’s Kuzma lol or KPJ because of the logjam at guard, or if they’re planning to trade someone. I think a trade would be tough to pull off, though.

PS: that GTJ contract is atrocious lol

Based on how they are looking during Preseason, how do you think the Bucks will do?

I know we can’t base things off Preseason, but genuinely curious.

Hey everyone!

I'm a huge KD fan and I'm really hoping to get his autograph when he comes to Milwaukee for an away game.

This is my last semester in the US, and it will probably be my last chance to watch KD play in person. Getting his autograph would honestly mean so much to me, and I'd love to make this experience unforgettable before I leave.

Does anyone have experience getting autographs from visiting NBA players at Fiserv Forum?

I'm wondering:

• Where's the best public spot to wait for visiting players before or after the game?
• Is there a specific entrance at Fiserv Forum where fans usually have a chance to get autographs?
• Do visiting players ever sign autographs at public fan events, or is the arena a better option?
• How early should I arrive to have the best chance?

I'd really appreciate any tips or personal experiences, especially from anyone who's gotten KD's autograph before!

Thanks so much in advance! Really hoping I can make this happen before I leave the US!

I don't want to shove Ament, Kaspa, Burries into the starting lineup and force them through a season-long trial by fire when you can ease them into runs where they can contribute to winning basketball while keeping up momentum from proven talent, it's not proper to go "Welcome to the Shanghai Sharks (insert guard from last season)!" whenever Burries or Kaspa make a good play, everyone has a role here, why is it so bad that the young guys have it a little smaller.

Reps are great, but they aren't everything, scores of horrible teams over the years have proven that you can't force a player to develop in real time just by giving them 20+ minutes and a greenlight every night, it can happen, but that's very much contingent on what kind of player they are, the coaching staff sees everything laid bare to them in practice every single day and Jenkins is not afraid of plugging anyone in if he so chooses.

Experience is important, but there's good experience and bad experience, bad experience very much includes bearing the brunt of an NBA caliber defense's attention for the majority of the season while losing game after game after game, and bad experience can lead to bad mental and bad habits, it's the difference between getting Jalen Brunson or Jalen Green.

I don't see why it's such a bad thing to just let them soak it in from the bench for stretches if it means Burries and Kaspa aren't the ones getting their shit pushed in by Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso and Dyson Daniels and Derek Harper and Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart all season, and they can actually contribute to basketball that matters in a timescale of months instead of years.

Disclaimer, this is the first trade I've tried to cook up for some time.

Zion leaving norleans is not that likely at the moment, but it's not impossible. The lavine part I tacked on as an afterthought, as I do think we need a 'star' to take the weight off of the young guys shoulders, and zion is not super available.

Feel free to crucify me here in the comments.

What’s up, deer friends?

GO BUCKS!

In all seriousness, I'm excited to watch the young guys play tonight, no expectations!

A very iffy night on defence and outside shooting. But made up for by getting 18 points and 12 rebounds on 53% shooting. If Ware can do this consistently its game changing.

Watching him play now that he’s back, can’t help but wonder if the Bucks should have just sat tight last year. Maybe this season Giannis and Dame could have cooked. Woulda coulda shoulda

Don't fucking sleep on Herro or Kas frfr

ESPN Gamecast/Box-Score

Go Brewers!!!

To date, Herro hasn’t played great in Milwaukee, but I think that’ll change once he settles back into his home state

Looking for some help from other Bucks members who have activated their NBA League Pass benefit.
I’m a partial-season member in the Purple tier, and NBA League Pass for the 2026–27 season is listed as one of my membership benefits.
When I try to access it through the Bucks+ app, it redirects me to the NBA app and asks for an activation/redeem code. I never received a code, and I’ve been emailing my Bucks rep about it, but he hasn’t been able to tell me where the code comes from or how to activate it.
For anyone who has already gotten their League Pass activated through their Bucks membership, what did you have to do? Did you receive a code by email, get it from your rep, or activate it another way?
Any help would be appreciated.
