Are the Bears fake good? The Bears feel fake good.

Spoke with Lenny once, for a story on the coaches & players who were at the leading edge of the “point forward” evolution. Wilkens turned to Milwaukee’s own John Johnson in Seattle & won a title. Made me smarter to talk to him. #NBASky 🔖 www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

The #Bucks lost to the #Rockets 122-115 and boarded a plane for Dallas believing they let one get away after a rough fourth quarter. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

#Bucks lose

What football? The Milwaukee #Bucks play basketball this afternoon. 📍Here is today’s game thread #NBASKY ⛑️injury report: Is Giannis playing today vs. the #Rockets? 👥 Probable starters 🫂 Giannis and Sengun apologized & hugged it out virtually in summer. ⬇️ www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Feels like every day I keep seeing / hearing how the Miami Heat could / should be a spot for Ja Morant. Smart basketball folks. Yo. Noah LaRoche is in Miami because, in large part, the current star in Memphis wanted nothing to do with him or his offense, yeah?

No

⛑️The #Bucks released their first injury report for Sunday: Kevin Porter Jr. OUT (Right Knee Meniscus Surgery) Taurean Prince OUT (Neck Strain) 🗒️ Doc Rivers said Prince was getting/had gotten an MRI. Giannis Antetokounmpo returns to the report, as PROBABLE (Left Knee Patellar Tendinopathy)

… until they run it eight times …

Facts.

Now Houston heads to Milwaukee for a Sunday matinee.

💪Giannis Antetokounmpo started slow but in winning time, he dominated as the Bucks beat the Bulls 126-110 in NBA Cup play. 🥇 He passed Kareem and yet another franchise mark, and is knocking on the door of a few other ridiculous milestones www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

#Bucks win

Today’s game file is up & running! #NBASky ⛑️ #Bucks injury report: What is the change to Giannis Antetokounmpo's status tonight? 🏥 Kevin Porter Jr. update 👥 Probable starters 💰 Odds 🏆 NBA Cup refresher www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Couldn’t even get a question out to #Bucks guard Cole Anthony if he cared about the #NBACup & he launched into a memory about the #Magic being bounced in 2023 due to a point differential tiebreaker from a game between two other teams and his pool.

“They’re first in the East, and we want to be first in the East.” The #Bucks see tonight as an early measuring stick against the first place #Bulls.

Marquette had two extra coaches in the three weeks leading up to the season. They were in meetings, film sessions, the locker room, closed-door scrimmages. It was part of a program for international coaches. Here's what they learned: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Re: Beasley, think the reality is they can’t put their team-building plans on hold while waiting for his investigations to resolve.

Taurean Prince (Neck Strain) is the newest/latest addition to the #Bucks injury report. He is questionable for the game vs. the #Bulls

🏆 Defending NBA Cup champion #Bucks host the East-leading #Bulls in first pool play game tomorrow. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Which also highlights how insane The Big O was …

Perhaps this thing / Unrivaled will be *good* for W players in that they get more of a revenue piece in upcoming negotiations but I FEEL like the reality that comes with that is: a) more regular season games. b) CBA provision that W players CANNOT play in offseason leagues (domestic or abroad).

That trip ends in Milwaukee on Nov. 15. Most #Bucks fans already prepared to not see LeBron James when the initial injury reporting came out ...

Meanwhile, in L.A. (via @pablo.show) Not great. Lawsuits / legal filings is how a LOT of this stuff comes into the public sphere. Feel like this will take a long time to sort through (via the various lawsuits) let alone any league investigation... www.pablo.show/p/update-ste...

The #Bucks say Kevin Porter Jr. underwent successful surgery on Nov. 3.

Attention Maryvale vacation planners: The spring training schedule is out. It begins on February 21 (!) and features two home exhibition games on March 23-24 against the Reds. Brewers also host the Brits on March 3.

Huh

Josh Giddey is only 6 triple doubles behind Scottie Pippen for 2nd place on the Bulls all time list

It had to have been 2001 or 2002 when an anonymous member of the White Sox said there were no mirrors in Royce Clayton’s house, and that was the first time I ever heard some s— like that …

Bulls fever in full effect when they come to Milwaukee in a couple days.

#Bucks lose

#Bulls also struggling in their game before the pivotal East Group C matchup vs. the #Bucks on Friday.

This is the the #Bucks first SEGABABA - but honestly I think it's an important game to win. * It would move them to 6-2, giving them two days off before hosting the Bulls (who they should beat). * The week of Nov. 9-13 they play their first 5 in 7, with Houston/Dallas/Lakers on the docket.

There's a reason to do this publicly, so it'll be interesting if / when Doc Rivers' comments trickle up to the league. I'm used to Giannis Antetokounmpo not getting certain fouls called, but there have been a LOT of intentional/non-basketball contact on him thus far ... #NBASky

And that’s generous because the #Bucks didn’t actually draft Andre Jackson Jr.

#Bulls are in Milwaukee on Friday.

It can't just be me thinking Tom Brady is ... a little strange ...

I’m not in Toronto tonight for #Bucks - #Raptors - but Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to give it a go on the second night of a back-to-back. #NBASky

Because the NBA all-star format is dumb and it deserves this: International team members are the current league leaders in: SGA (points) Giannis (ppg) KAT (rebounds) Sabonis (rpg) Jokić (assists, apg) Daniels (steals) Wemby (blocks) Also: Dončić, Markannen, Siakam, Giddey, Anunoby, Vučević, Wagner

Just 7 games into the season Bucks head coach Doc Rivers is already losing patience with referees over the way Giannis Antetokounmpo is (or frankly, isn't) being officiated. Antetokounmpo has been fouled flagrantly 2x so far, with more uncalled hard fouls. #NBASky www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Giannis Antetokounmpo game-winning shot & taunts are just the latest chapter in this heated Bucks-Pacers rivalry. 🥊 www.jsonline.com/story/sports...
