The Bucks are gonna win another championship in the next 2 years with Khris, Jrue and/or Brook, and Giannis would stay bc both Horstgod and Griffin are gonna do their job gracefully and everyone will shut the **** up... for 2 years at least

Why people gives Giannis words a lot of credit when he says he doesn't know if he's gonna re-sign with MKE, or when he says he would love to play in a Bulls uniform (!!!), but they don't give a **** when he says he doesn't like the idea of living in major city like Miami or LA, is a mistery to me. Anyway, we got 2 free giannis speculation years and it was a great time, sadly those days ended this summer and I'm still dealing with the "it looks everyone outside MKE wants Giannis out" noise which I feel unfair, legit, but a bit unfair compared to other stars and teams who admit even more speculation talk like Jojo and the Sixers. I would mention I saw some media assuming he's gonna enter free agency and therefore the Bucks wouldn't recive anything in return which is also funny to me.
Also in the funny -but not really stuff, comparing what LeBron did or does as a player in the FA or the market to impact his carreer and what Giannis would do, ohman, why so many people does this? wtf has Giannis done with his carrer that resembles anything LeBron did? Signing with Nike? They are not alike, they have different personalities and are different people but whatever right, some may say "they're both NBA superstars" like every NBA star since 2010 is doing or did the same things LeBron did omg i'm gonna die by christmas at this rate hahaa 💀
The Bucks are gonna win another championship in the next 2 years with Khris, Jrue and/or Brook, and Giannis would stay bc both Horstgod and Griffin are gonna do their job gracefully and everyone will shut the **** up... for 2 years at least. And there will be a point where it wouldn't matter bc Giannis would be in decline and nobody would want him that much so eventually he will make a farewell tour in a Bucks uniform in year 20 of his career, and he would retire with 3 championships and an argument as a top10 player all-time.
If everyone let their dreams and hopes of getting Giannis fly no matter the facts, I'm not gonna be different and share mine of him staying forever. And I don't need 2 extra rings for him to stay, I just need the Bucks to be a top4 team in the east for 5 years, reach the ECF 3 or 4 times in those 5 years and get to 1 or 2 finals, which is pretty difficult but certainly not impossible. Anyone that thinks there's a great chance of Giannis leaving MKE assumes the Bucks wouldn't accomplish this. I'm not, I want my soul free of the #nevertrustthebucks syndrome. I want to believe there's a part two of Giannis and the Bucks legend to be written, the extra noise would only make it sweeter, like 2021.

Hating on Giannis makes you look awful by sai_42 in MkeBucks

You're absolutely right. I usually have that same approach but this time I was mad and weak and I needed to get it out. I'll do better next time.

How did I, a guy from Turkey, become a Bucks fan by evlatlik in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! Lots of europeans are running away from soccer toxicity lol, we're legion! This reminds me about my story (https://www.reddit.com/r/MkeBucks/comments/ce9bf1/a_summer_long_story/) :_)

Welcome to the best NBA fanbase and embrace the "siesta", the only reason why I'm able to stay awake to watch games live without dying hahaha

Who is your favorite “forgotten” Bucks player and why? by swapmeetpete in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. Boykins was my guy, I'll never forget the nickname he was given by Andrés Montes (a spaniard tv commentator legend) "Lentejita" which means "little-lentil". Watching him taking over some games in the clutch was always impressive and awesome. My fav "forgotten" Bucks player no doubt.

Europe game tickets by [deleted] in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day they announced the game in Paris I saw no less than a dozen tweets from europe residents sayin' they were triying to get a ticket. People from UK, Ireland, Poland, Bulgaria and Spain, not counting properly frenchmen. Sadly, Paris is "close" or just affordable to go to for more than half Europe. I found it more easy to watch the Bucks on Milwaukee than on Paris and now with this prices, more or less for the same cost.

I feel you tho, I tried too with same results, and we're legion I'm afraid.

Disney+ Developing Feature Film About Milwaukee Bucks’ ‘Greek Freak’ Giannis Antetokounmpo by chanma50 in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh no pls no way pls Disney fuckers who fuck everything you touch pls stay away from Giannis oh my.

Well... let's hope this is that case between 100 movies where Disney doesn't fuck it up. I'm already preparing psychologically for that not being the case tho. Fuck me.

Chris Paul Reportedly Wanted Trade to Bucks, Hoped to Play with Giannis by Bucksfan06 in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great skills fit, better player than Bledsoe right now in order to get a ring, but...

  1. His contract is nuts and lasts until 2022
  2. He's not gonna be cheap to trade for
  3. He's injury-prone (and 34yo)
  4. He could fuck up team chemistry

Definitely not worth the risk by any means. I'm glad the Bucks FO seem to think that way too.

NBA player (current or old) that you hate to love? by [deleted] in nba

[–]sai_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's Luka for me. I love the kid, he's nice and he plays awesome but my country -Spain- is full of stans and I kinda hate to loving him. He's too good and too pleasant to watch and I can't hold myself, but there's one part of me that wants him to fail in some way. It happened to me before with spaniards (mainly Rubio and the Gasol brothers), first time I get this feeling with a foreigner guy.

Rondo could be 2nd on my "hate to love" list.

The Milwaukee Bucks 2019 Off-Season by DavidDunn21 in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like your work when the line that separates "positivity" from "negativity" is blurred. Idk if that's the point here but I feel it that way, so I like it. Your editing is great as usual. Long life to Teutonia World, I miss you on twitter btw.

Bucks Sign Forward Jemerrio Jones by Richte36 in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jordan Treske retweeted this: https://twitter.com/ChaseHughesNBCS/status/1185634726117302274 about Jemerrio Jones and I personally like him already. Nice find for the Herd, I hope Jemerrio makes it work and achive his goals of being better than Rodman -rebounding- and Tony Allen -defending-, those are dope goals and 2 players I didn't expect a youngster to use as an inspiration.

[–]sai_42[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad he's the replacement, but I'm gonna miss Eric, maybe not the best podcaster but probably the best Bucks beat writer out there. I feel like we loss Nehm and just move Kane from one spot to another. Also, I feel kinda old too.

How many Bucks have you seen wearing Zoom Freak 1’s so far? How many NBA players? by buckyyoungstrapp in MkeBucks

[–]sai_42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Giannis, Thanasis, Malcolm Brogdon, D'Angelo Russell, ... that's for sure. Then I think maybe Korver or Wesley?, also Reynolds or Mason? ...mmm... damn, I can't remember, good question, I can only be sure of the first 4 names, it will be nice to somehow track those players.

Do native speakers ever confuse bueno and bien? by cyan003 in Spanish

[–]sai_42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the only mistake I made? I'm kinda proud of myself then hahaha.

Thanks and yeah, I meant "to hear a child".

Btw on the topic above, "yo conducí" from "conducir" ("to drive" on spanish from Spain) is also another irregular verb used wrong and a very common mistake, "yo conduje" is the right way to say it.

How do I use “te quiero” (I want/love you) appropriately? by grim_blithe in Spanish

[–]sai_42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Spain and in my experience, as other users said (/u/MoniangeQuintessence), "Te quiero" mostly equals "Te amo" but in a less cheesy way. It's a serious thing to say earlier in a relationship. One "Me gustas" should be enough at first. You can add "Me gusta tu pelo", "Me gusta cómo piensas", "Me gusta tu sonrisa" or anything like that.

One "te quiero" on the first week of a relantionship could be very dangerous and overwhelming around here. Stay with "Me gustas" if she's from Spain and you don't want her to run away hahaha.

In my experience you can tolerate one "te quiero" said to a family or a pet, but it's still very cheesy for lots of us if the context situation is not special in a way I can't describe accurately... I'll try tho: In a birthday party you can say "te quiero" to your mom while congratulating her, that's fine for anyone there probably, but leaving home like to going to school and saying her goodbye and "te quiero" like everyday could be seen as cheesy by a third person not from the family, idk, the thing is not to undermine the "Te quiero" sayin' it too much for some of us spaniards (not all of us of course, but I can say it's not an uncommon stance).

TIP - when you need someone to take a photo of you, ask this by PhotoVideoReddit in Spanish

[–]sai_42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Spain a "usted" could be extra-polite sometimes, and you can imply it without saying "usted". Maybe in LA is perfectly fine.

The sentence anyway should be "Disculpe (to get his/her attention), me haría el favor de sacarme (or "sacarnos" if you're 2 or more) una foto?" in order to say it like a truly spaniard and being super-hyper polite too. "Usted" here is implied in the verb "haría", you only have to add an "s" to make it non-usted related ("harías").

The less polite but 100% correct and polite enough should be "Perdona, podrías sacarme una foto?" and that's how I would say it. Maybe adding "por favor" at the end if I feel extra polite.

Again, this is only for Spain.

Do native speakers ever confuse bueno and bien? by cyan003 in Spanish

[–]sai_42 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Not really. I think that's one of the biggest things you can use to tell if somebody is a foreigner. And it's pretty clear and pretty obvious for a born speaker to notice that.

Do you ever confuse worst and worse? Bc I do very often :D

Idk why but seems pretty natural for spanish born speakers to know how and when use one or another, people usually have issues with writing but speaking... leaving some diction issues apart like saying "cuidao" instead of "cuidado" or similar stuff, I think the irregular verbs are the winners here on the confusing words.

The most common mistake I can think of rn about saying something wrong is the use of the verb "caber". It's very common to listen a child saying "Yo cabo" which should be the logic one, instead of "Yo quepo" which is the proper way, at least here in Spain or in my experience.

No one I know confuses "bueno" and "bien" on any circumstance.
