This thread is for all things milwaukee bucks. I know we have maybe 10 nters that supports the bucks. I don't frequent this website as much as I use to but whoever wants please update when u feel free.

After last season and 15 wins the bucks added jabari parker w the 2nd pick. Actually prefer him over Wiggins for the team so feel we got lucky. Personally not expecting to make the playoffs this year. Would love to add another top 8 pick in the next draft and keep building. I'll put the names of the current players on the bottom. For the season I'm expecting somewhere around 30 wins. So double last years. Bucks maybe now in the toughest conference in the nba w the additions by cavs and bulls. New coach jason kidd. Will be interesting to see how he handles losing. Hope he still plays the young guys and not try and get into the playoffs w the vets.

Side note for the new owners and possibly the new arena that is being talked about. I'm all for it. Have the new owners and herb kohl already giving 200mil. towards the project. Big talk is location and what to do with the current arena. Parking is lacking in the current location. The new owners had see weary at first but I'm starting to come around. If the new arena doesn't happen the idea of the team moving is a def. possibility.


Coach: Jason Kidd
Roster:
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jerry Bayless
Jared Dudley
John Henson
Ersan Ilyasova
Damien Inglis
Brandon Knight
Kendall Marshall
O.j. Mayo
Khris Middleton
Johnny O'Bryant
Zaza Pachulia
Jabari Parker
Larry Sanders
Nate Wolters
Chris Wright
 
The bucks are probably going to be my east coast league pass team. It'll be interesting to see what kidd does.

Is antekdksksnoumpo playing full time PG?
Jabari at the 3?
 
Not sure what positions parker and giannis will play? We have like 6 point guards. At the open scrimmage today parker and giannis guarded each other. I think giannis will play point more when he rebounds and brings it up himself or a fast break outlet to him
 
Went to the preseason game on Saturday v the bulls. First time seeing jabari live. With most rookies I don't expect much and watch them closer their 2nd year. I have to say that jabari really impressed me. Went to the hoop strong. Had like 3 dunks and a nice one over Jimmy butler. Didn't look like a rookie at all. Ersan on the other hand shot 4 for 20. Really don't like what he brings. Just a streaky shooter. Bucks play cavs tomorrow on nbatv. Giannis is playing point cuz of injuries.
 
Not ready to call reclamation just yet, but Larry Sanders looks good in preseason. Ready to play basketball.
 
24pts lead mid 3rd quarter. End with a loss in overtime. Team looked strong for those 2.5quarters. Oj mayo looks like he's trying to make a comeback.
 
Teams 3-4. Big win last night against a good Memphis team. Offensive side of the ball looks soo different. Still slow on defense and have trouble against bigger teams. Turnovers have been killing the team so far but that's to be expected from a young team. Knight is Ballin right now. Team just needs to stay healthy and continue to gel

Team currently 5-5. Play knicks tomorrow. Knight been ballin so far this yr. Still needs to work on his shoot first tendencies. Giannis and jabari have been fun to watch.
 
Not sure. May be matchups. I know he struggles on defense against the bigger bodied guys. I'd rather see henson than ersan all day
 
This is super late but I was at the Grizzlies game when Knight had the game winner the other week. As live as I've seen the Bradley Center in years :smokin

Why isn't Henson receiving more minutes?

My theory is Kidd is still working out rotations as its still early in the season. I've watched games where Jabari is playing well all game and then he doesn't see a minute in the 4th. While Middleton replaces him who didn't even see the court until the 3rd quarter.

Ersan needs to go. I see him and Knight being traded.

Really wanna see Kidd run a Knight/Mayo/Parker/Giannis/Sanders lineup some more
 
Great game tonight. Triple OT win. Knight killing me on that layup. Parker made garnett look old. At one point jabari crossed him in the lane and garnett straight fell down. Giannis is unstoppable on the fast break toward the hoop. Needs more muscle but that will come. So much promise in this team. Still not expecting playoffs but much much better than I expected this early
 
Clippers ain't *****. Now 12-12. Suns next. I'm now convinced this is a playoff team. It helps the east is horrible
 
Currently 20-19. #5 spot in the east. Next game in London vs knicks. Team picked up Kenyon Martin and waived nate wolters. Larry sanders has told the team he no longer wants to play basketball so we have that going. Be interesting to see what they do as trade deadline approaches. I'd rather not make the playoffs and get a top 10 pick but they look set to make the playoffs.
 
Kendall marshall added to the injury report. Torn acl out for year w parker and inglis. Sanders now suspended again for failed drug test. Team has to be close to getting that player exception. Not sure on those rules. Packers loss today so basketball the only sport to remain in wisconsin.
 
|I sad to see Parker go down for the season. Team had potential to make noise in the playoffs by time the season ended.

Still think they can win a first round series against anyone but Cleveland
 
Bucks now 28-23 in 6 spot right now. 3 games behind bulls for division. 2.5 behind cavs. Nice win at home v Celtics tonight. Play nets and kings before all star break. B.knight imo really is playing like an all star. Giannis in the past 2 weeks has taken his game to another level. Both knight/giannis in the skills challenge at AS weekend and giannis also in the dunk contest. Team has been playing really well together. Maybe better without larry sanders around?? But we do miss an interior presence. Zaza and k.mart too old and hurt right now. Fun team to watch. This team won 15 games last year
