🗣️ “It's phenomenal for him. He's the head coach. Darvin Ham is a head coach in the NBA and should be. I'm looking at this as trying to let the world see that." - Doc Rivers on ceding play calling the last couple games. #NBASky

The short-handed #Bucks pushed the #Rockets to the limit in a 119-113 loss but the news of the day - and the rest of the season - is Darvin Ham is going to be running timeouts & calling plays instead of Doc Rivers 👀⬇️ www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Huh. Didn’t realize NBA team leadership could communicate what’s happening with a star player’s health…

So, *technically* Thanasis, Giannis and Alex Antetokounmpo made NBA history last night because Alex got into the game, meaning that at some point three brothers had been active and played for the same team in one season. But obviously they want to play together in the same game.

How now, how now, what say the citizens?

#Bucks - #Nets TWO more times y’all. Remember Brooklyn already got Milwaukee by 45(!) once already…

The #Bucks easy victory over the #Mavs allows another Antetokounmpo to make his NBA debut - and the team gets another win over Khris Middleton. - with @bensteelemjs.bsky.social www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

#Bucks head coach Doc Rivers basically said the regulars - if able - will play home games here on out.

#Bucks win

#Bucks head coach Doc Rivers would not confirm he was elected to the Hall of Fame in his pregame press conference.

Just move them to Chicago already. #ChicagoJags

Khris Middleton is back again - but this time in a new uniform - and looks to beat the #Bucks for the FOURTH time this season. #Bucks vs. #Mavericks tonight: ⛑️ Full injury report ⬆️ Alex Antetokounmpo has been called up 💰 Odds 📌 Our running #NBASky 🧵 www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

It remains crazy to think that he wasn’t even supposed to have that job.

💰 #Brewers reportedly close to signing prospect Cooper Pratt to 8-year, $50M deal 💰 www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Check out this article from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Packers clear significant salary-cap space for potential roster moves www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

It would be WILD if a team fired a coach after an embarrassing loss…following clear disconnect with his star…following overall underachievement…Not sure that’s allowed.

💻 The reboot ended up on the blue screen of death 🗺️ Which path does ownership want to take? I’d argue the current GM isn’t the right one for a certain decision. ❓Did they tank their relationship with Giannis 🤷 Who’s the head coach? What does the roster look like?

#Bucks ownership has been in town for the first time in months, but no one is interested in talking about what happened to the team this season, and what’s next? www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Man. It felt like Alex Fernandez would be more than just “some guy.” He was awesome at times. Two hard luck Ls in the 93 ALCS. The ‘94 Expos (🪦) have been mythologized but that really felt like the White Sox year…

Jason has this nugget: “Toronto’s 31-0 run…marked the longest run in NBA history, since play-by-play started being tracked in 1996-97.” Previous record was 30-0. So that’s one dubious mark the #Bucks avoided this year (27-0 run given up to the #Bulls).

Huh

Oh

Asked if he is confident he still has the attention of the Magic, Jamahl Mosley offers a confident "Yes."

#Bucks lose

Hey it's another matinee at Fiserv Forum, going head-to-head with #Brewers baseball down the road. It's fitting that the question today for the #Bucks is in line with a famous scene from Major League...who's even available? ⛑️ A lengthy injury report www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Two weeks ago, Giannis Antetokounmpo landed awkwardly after a dunk. He wanted to get back in the game and was told “it’s not worth it.” We haven’t seen him since. He is OUT again today.

I want the music from the 8bit Top Gun Nintendo midair refueling mission playing over this

Such a fall for Milwaukee.

🤔 “This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two or three. We needed health. We were thin. "We knew that before the season started and it just didn't go our way. All the talk and all that stuff probably didn't help either." - #Bucks coach Doc Rivers said.

The Brewers signing Reese McGuire to a minor-league deal only to cut him and then steal a million bases against him one week later wasn't intentional, but it sure feels like it was.

Hamate epidemic continues…

It's definitely interesting to think about. And his case is wildly complicated because so much of what became his eventual undoing was a direct result of the physicality and personal flaws that allowed him to have the success he had at the level he had it.

#Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as OUT for tomorrow’s nationally/globally streamed game vs. the Spurs.

Tiger is the very rare GOAT in his sport whose career is also a gigantic "What If?"

#Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Giannis Antetokounmpo did not practice today.

🙋‍♂️ I had a Cunningham jersey when you couldn’t just “get one.” Family mailed it to me. Only kid in my Chicago grade school. The Eagles we’re good enough then where they would often be on the “other” NFC game. Also, NFL Today & early Sportscenter were appointment viewing…

Conversely, what is the new “value” of future picks? Like trading an unprotected ‘32 means what exactly?

I don’t think #Brewers fans will ever not be 😏 about such headlines / photos in Chicago …

Nope. Not at all.

Please read my Opening Day story, which is about… /clears throat/ ahem…. …Brandon *belt* www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

It’s still crazy to me that it’s normal to use five pitchers in a 12-run blowout win. (I also just recently watched several baseball documentaries on 1980s / 90s World Series matchups.)
