Guys how bad is the situation at the Milwaukee Bucks? Is this season even possible to turn around. With Giannis being out for an extended period of time, the Bucks are in a really bad situation.

1. Schedule wise best part of the season to be out only a few games these next 2 weeks. Him and myles haven’t played much together as well as KPJ but they look good when they do, bench wise we aren’t as deep as we thought. Not entertaining the idea he leaves right now FMD Bucks in 6

2. The floor is we suck but then get a lottery pick. Yes there’s a swap with the Pelicans but we couldn’t be worse than them if we tried.

3. Thanks for letting us know

4. It’s possible there’s a winning version of this team we just haven’t seen yet because they haven’t been healthy. I’m not ready to give up on this team until either (a) we see a sustained healthy stretch and it still doesn’t work, or (b) it becomes clear that healthy stretch isn’t coming.

5. “At least we’re not the clippers” – mantra in our family right now.

6. > Hopefully Giannis stays but if he leaves where would you like to see him?

   This isn’t the right attitude to have until Giannis officially asks out. Until then, we’re a flawed team but one that has some nice bright spots and should Giannis stay, we’ll be in good position for a better retool next off season. That said, injuries suck and if KPJ hadn’t gotten injured, same w/Giannis now (and TP as well), this team might have started off a lot better and because of that we’ll never really know how good they could be when fully healthy.

7. A lot has been mention about missing KPJ and Giannis for long stretches, everyone completely forgets that the Bucks are without TP.

   He is extremely important for the Bucks during the regular season. He bigger wing that can rebound and shoot 50% on catch and shoot. Exactly what the Bucks would need right now.

   But all that said Bucks are severely lacking in depth and talent. Also Doc is a relic of the past not suited for this modern style team.

   At this point it would take a miracle for Bucks to turn this ship around. Even if Giannis stays, this is alarming the amount of soft tissue injuries he is suffering lately. The chance of him playing majority of the games moving forwards it slim and even with him Bucks are not great.

   Best case would be a play-in tournament and pray for a punchers chance upset.

8. I’d give our young guys PT and go for the lottery pick. Let Giannis rest.

9. Assuming everyone is healthy and doc is fired, i think the best way to rejuvanate this season would be to have rollins be our 6th man.

   Were so fromt loaded that its next to impossible to not rely on ppl like bobby, kuzma, or sims for extended minutes during crucial bench times.

   Having rollins command that unit and do what he does would alleviate a lot of our depth issues and he can still close out games.

   Ive just noticed that since kpj has been back, like i predicted, he hasnt had the room to operate the way he did when giannis and kpj were gone.nevertheless, hes still putting up decent stats as the sideline man to kpj, but i think if we have him as our Kirkland Manu, he would thrive even more

10. They’re a half game from the play-in spot. Da fuck are you on about?

11. Chemistry take a helllll of a long time to build. With all the injuries, it’s pushed off finding that chemistry. (Referring to teams with BIG changes.) For us, it’s no Dame, no Brook, add Turner, Rollins in lineup, Kuzma not finding it last year (starting over,) and all th small depth changes.

    The roster is good, regardless of what people here say. It’s finally built how it should be. Chemistry usually takes around 30 games to fully hit, but may take a bit longer with Giannis being out.

    One that chemistry hits, things are going to be looking much better. But with Giannis staying, getting a lottery pick is not the worst play in the cards.
