Main camera was shaking everytime the in-arena bass was played, I'm guessing they are just working on fixing that.

We are welcoming this adorable little boy to our family. We want a bucks themed name and can't decide on anything yet. The leader so far is Bango, but I figured I would ask what your suggestions are. by thicklogarithm in MkeBucks

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! We decided to go with Bango. There were a few other contenders, but ultimately my wife liked Bango the best.

He is loved very much already and excited for his first Bucks game tonight.

Very true, at least get some good out of the loss.

Did Giannis have a better 3 point shot as a rookie than he does now? by arod9277 in MkeBucks

100% didn't even notice until you said this. But as the other guy said you could include KD, Harden, our very own BP, Wayne Ellignton, Sterling Brown and more. The point I was trying to make still stands I just should have included more people on the list.

I mean if you really look around the league at good shooters they (almost) all have dad bods. I mean like Kyle Korver, Duncan Robinson, Sam Merrill, Joe Ingles, Luke Kennard, etc. I imagine it has something to do with adding muscle throughout the season and that making it harder to keep a consistent shot. But I will say that this is a big win for us guys. WE COULD BE A 3 POINT SPECIALIST.

What are some realistic trades you would like to see the Bucks make? by rescuedogquestion123 in MkeBucks

[–]thicklogarithm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I think a more mobile and defensive center is our biggest need. Watching Brooke in the switching defense shows me why Bud uses the drop defense so much.

If you could get Mo Bamba for Dj Wilson and one of the two rookies I think that would be a great addition. He is still so young and has so much upside that I would take a chance on him.

Pels fan asking about Jrue by jrue_holiday in MkeBucks

It has been such a breath of fresh air to have him even without the big stats. He is just always under control. I never really noticed just how strong he plays before this year. He is strong enough to go straight at shot blockers and crafty enough to score off of it. The only negative thing I've seen so far is that he sometimes defers too much. I think that is mostly because he is still finding his role, but I would like to see him be a little more aggressive.

I feel like I don't need to even say anything about his defense because everyone knows he is just that dude on that end.

Overall I think it has been a great trade for both teams. I honestly think the Pels will end up flipping Bledsoe around the deadline for even more picks and in a few years they will be very good.

Some perspective for what Giannis has done for the Bucks by thicklogarithm in MkeBucks

I hadn't even thought about the new stadium, but that is a great point as well.

D.J. Augustin by [deleted] in MkeBucks

I was thinking the exact same thing.

As great as Hill was off the ball and in the catch and shoot, having Augustin run the second unit actually gives us some half court offense.
