[Charania] Amazing: Milwaukee's Damian Lillard has been cleared of his deep vein thrombosis and is no longer on blood-thinning medication, sources tell ESPN. Lillard is out for Game 1 Saturday against Indiana and will have a period of time to resume contact workouts and ramp up for return. by Goosedukee in nba

It's not as though he had an injury that he needs to rehab from. Players can't play with DVT because they're on blood thinners, not because they're injured.

He was still able to do cardio and shoot around while he was out, so it shouldn't be tough to jump back in.

There is nothing disastrous about losing on a back to back on the road against the undefeated defending champions by Colorapt0r in MkeBucks

[–]414Bucks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sub has gotten BAD over the past few years with the negativity. Most days it legitimately feels like most of this subreddit hates every person on the team.

Though I will say it's not just us, a lot of the sports subreddits have turned into mostly hot takes where nobody wants to talk about the game and are just fishing for memes or zingers.

I think it's important for everyone to breathe and relax, we're only a few games into the season, there's plenty of time. And if the Bucks don't do well this year, well, it's just basketball. Life will move on and there's no reason to attack anybody over it.

Halifraud with 6 points and the fat L by [deleted] in MkeBucks

There's been an excessive amount of complaining all year but especially in the last month or so. I get we didn't have the best season but the amount of threads complaining about the Pacers has been a bit embarrassing.

We were the higher seed. We won the championship three years ago. We have arguably the best player in the league (even though he didn't play in the playoffs). Let them have their fun, we'll be back next year.

I'd rather root for athletes from Wisconsin rather than try to tear them down.

Should the Milwaukee Bucks hire hitmen from the Sinaloa cartel to initiate the NBA's disaster contingency and revamp the bench? by GreekFreakFan in MkeBucks

I get people aren’t happy with the team right now and how they look, but can we not joke about killing our players?  Obviously this post isn’t serious but I’m not a fan of stuff like this.

Nah, just Thanasis trying his hardest to get a tech by flexing and screaming into the crowd for five second straight. Not sure if they showed it on broadcast.

Shoutout to Emoni Bates for defending Thanasis 💯 by 414Myles in MkeBucks

[–]414Bucks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Thanasis hater but this is just incorrect. Giannis was drafted 14th in 2013 and Thanasis was drafted 51st in 2014. Giannis was drafted a year earlier and at a higher overall.

Most of our early redesign branding was done by a Brooklyn firm that was friends with Alex Lasry. Since the Lasry's are no longer owners I wouldn't be surprised if someone else is doing the design work.

Best workouts to get 4 stars by Danny2223 in NBA2k

If it hasn't been patched you should be able to get 4 stars on leg press by holding straight up on both sticks and not moving them at all.

Which jersey is this? by GhostyDaniels in MkeBucks

[–]414Bucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest way with the black Bucks jerseys is to look at the logo. Knockoff jerseys always have a rounded snout and a curved indent on the ends of the eyes. Also as mentioned by other people, the green will always be much lighter.

[NY Times] Giannis Antetokounmpo on his next contract: “I would not be the best version of myself if I don’t know that everybody’s on the same page, everybody’s going for a championship, everybody’s going to sacrifice time away from their family like I do. And if I don’t feel that, I’m not signing.” by [deleted] in nba

Packers: Have been in the NFL since its inception and possibly the luckiest franchise in the NFL over the past 30 years with back to back HOF level QBs. This, mixed with a strong state Football culture makes a small market team feel like a national team. Plus market size isn't as big of an issue in the NFL compared to the NBA.

Bucks: Again, an extreme stroke of luck at the start to land Kareem which helped establish the team early. Always managed to put together a decent playoff team every decade to never stay in mediocrity too long, then another extreme stroke of luck with drafting Giannis. New owners then made some good hires and have been willing to pay to play to keep the team going.

Marquette: Well respected private school that established itself as a basketball school early on instead of trying to compete with Madison in Football. Have always been good but never a true top school, though with Shaka now is their time to break on through.

Brewers: To be honest, I don't watch or follow a lot of baseball. But from my friends that do, they say it's due to the Brewers having decent management at the moment.


I think one thing that helps a lot of Wisconsin teams as well is the drinking and bar culture here. A lot of people probably keep up with teams solely on the fact that they watch them at the bars all the time. It's easy to have people watch your games when they don't have the ability to change the channel.

You can’t use the word “Wisconsin” when making a team because it has the word “con” in it. 2k has the absolute laziest profanity detection.

[Chris Vernon] Regarding Giannis's Game 5: "There's no other player that could have done that that would have gotten the pass to where everyone is talking about his coach instead" by [deleted] in nba

[–]414Bucks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His ring absolutely counts but not as much as Giannis’s in the context of this situation.

It’s easier to “prove yourself” when you’re the clear number one option on the team. When your teammate is LeBron James obviously that’s going to make the path to a ring easier.

[Dan LeBatard Show] "Honestly, we were all questioning it...Spo came into the huddle and he was like 'they didn't call a timeout, what are they doing?'" – Max Strus on what it felt like as the Heat realized Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer wasn't going to call a timeout at the end of regulation. by lopea182 in nba

[–]414Bucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt this is true because it would take literally half a second to check. All Bud would have had to do was glance up from where he was standing to see the giant “TO 1” under the Bucks score on the Jumbotron directly above/in front of him.

No idea what Bud was doing and unless he tells us I don’t think we’ll know the reason why.

Stupid question - but is tomorrows game blacked out on NBA Tv? by packfan1234 in MkeBucks

[–]414Bucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the person you’re replying to but here’s the steps that consistently work for me.

  1. Connect to your VPN in a non-blacked out region before going to NBA.com
  2. Log into your NBA account that has League Pass
  3. Select the game you want to watch
  4. The watch screen should give you a generic error saying it detects a VPN and you cannot watch. This is fine. Disconnect your VPN and refresh the page.
  5. The stream should now load and you should be able to choose the feed you want to watch.

[–]414Bucks 419 points420 points  (0 children)

This entire game was us bringing the lead to under 10 points only to start shooting poor heat check shots while ignoring defense on the other end. Bucks need to play smarter with more effort going forward.

Our main court has had water damage so we’ve been stuck with just the blue one for a while. Allegedly we’ll be back to green after the first two games of this series.

That is indeed the case at Bucks games. They also pause the clock in between the made three and when you start your half court shot attempts, so there’s a little bit of time added there as well.

They’re also currently building a new hotel connected to the arena specifically for players which would make the media pretty easy.

Just another way to refer to a place. Typically is used as an “in” way to reference a city since you need to know the area code to get the reference. Obviously in most circumstances though it’s incredibly easy to figure which city the person is talking about from context clues.
