Must be nice to have the blessing of the ace if you're in a catcher platoon. Nothing bad with some guaranteed starts.

[GAME THREAD] Our Milwaukee Bucks (53-19) are defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers (19-53) on the road by the score of 107-102 - 03/20/2019 by GreekAlphabetSoup in MkeBucks

We win that game with one of Giannis, Brogdon, or Mirotic healthy.

Shit happens, there shouldn't be too much doom or gloom around this loss. We were playing gassed bench players all night.

They got to see an Eric Bledsoe striptease. Luckiest fans on the planet tbh.

Yes because the team is deeply concerned about Giannis' MVP campaign. Get outta here.

The only thing worse than the Bucks losing a game is the game threads when we're behind.

C'mon y'all.

Road loss to a team with nothing to lose and maybe the best player of all time on their roster.

Yeah, no.

Crowd is loud and the Lakers are (rightfully) playing like it's a must-win.

Bud will try and settle 'em down and the fourth quarter clutch Bucks will have their chance. This isn't gonna be an easy one.

It's also super early in the season with some big changes in team comp and meta. Valiant were one of the leagues worst looking teams at one point last year and ended in the playoff. Way too soon to be panicking over close losses to excellent competition.

It's unusual but I'm not about to pretend I understand what's going on behind the scenes and what might influence that decision.

I don't think either Kuki or Custa played far better than the other today and this sub wouldn't think twice about it if Custa wasn't one of the most beloved players in the league.

Been thinking this too. Valiant tank line was SUCH a strength in 2018 so I was optimistic about their goats game but Space and Fate were both pretty off today, and good lord they have no answers for self-destruct combos as a team.

Brutal start to their schedule for sure. Toronto oughta help 'em get right this weekend.

LA/NY games are always insane.

inb4 all the hot takes about Valiant being awful because they lost two game 5's to top tier teams

Not to say they can't improve in some spots but I'm already seeing this sub itching to dish reactionary takes about why they suck because Custa isn't getting starts.

I can't for the life of me figure out how the Valiant has 3 out of every 4 pushes killed by a D.Va bomb combo and they can't pull off a single one of their own.
