Loons desperately wanted to give away two points but glad they held on. Callendar MotM.

Chancalay has been so good. Let’s go.

Tonight’s the night to unleash Jericho Sims, three point laser

giannis may still have the casuals, but he is hemorrhaging goodwill by the day with the people who live and die with this team.

Some great vibes to drop at halftime. Good work, Giannis you are truly looking like The Good Guy!

huh

Big O and Kareem doing this in a February is such a flex.

laying in a hotel remembering old bright eyes rules is a pretty great vibe

look at my team dog. doc will never see heaven.

dudes rock: Bing Bong Edition

An unbelievable quote when the Bucks blew a 16-point lead with four bigs on the floor at the same time. I’m ready for the Giannis-Kuz-Nance-Sims-Turner lineup I guess.

We should get rid of the trade deadline. I don’t like that Bobby can leave this game with the comfort that he won’t be traded tomorrow. Feels wrong.

I don’t think this registers as hypocritical to them. “War” is something that the libs and neocons do with soldiers who die because they aren’t as cruel as they are. War’s for suckers who don’t have the stomach to rain death until the enemy surrenders. This isn’t war to them, it’s projecting force.

After everything that happened with the Washington Post’s Sports department, I’ve decided to launch a Substack as I weigh my next steps. Here’s why: substack.com/@bengolliver...

Prayers up for the skiers in Tahoe. Terrifying situation.

If the Bucks look good enough down the stretch to jump into the 6 or 7 seed I will be totally happy with that. If things fizzle and we end up in the lottery I am totally happy with that too. IMO worst case is limping into the 10 seed to either get the worst lottery odds or a blowout first round.

I like The Wheel concept for the NBA draft and with the amount of picks traded these days don’t think it’s much more likely that a great team gets a great pick. Also, I think the 2nd round should be straight reverse record. Bad teams will still get extra help but not so much that you’d hard tank.

wow didn't know its illegal to be a dude

oh god what is about to happen

c'mon man, i just wanna root for my basketball team

Failure of a deadline if that’s it for the Bucks. Keeping Giannis isn’t a singular inflection point, it’s an ongoing process of proving to him you can build a winner. Milwaukee took zero steps forward in that regard today. Another pressure-packed summer awaits.

A billion butterfly flaps but if the Wolves don't do that Dillingham move last year they probably have the extra picks needed and Giannis is in Minnesota doing a physical today.

lived in this building for a couple years, great neighbors. Our vet office is on the first floor and just sent out a notice last week that all doors were locked to prevent ICE from entering, but apparently they can just force their way in

Cole Anthony had to leave the Bucks game with an ankle injury. He still made these guys night on the way out. Tosses his shoes to a dad and his son.

Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns. ... Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us. Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols? A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us. R: Pulling out literal guns? A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

Fischer reporting within the same hour that: - Blazers are trying to get into as a Giannis destination and Dame is working behind the scenes -and there’re rumblings that Giannis doesn’t want to go to Golden State Interesting.

One thing to note, if the Bucks get this year’s Warriors pick and Giannis is out for five more weeks, does that end up late lottery? If not at worst it’s in the teens in stacked draft. That’s better than a lot of these other picks we see dangled out there.

Oh man, a gut punch. RIP.

hey did you help the congresswoman make a video about ICE funding sure did boss, real strung out and alienating just like you asked for

I built a salary model where you can see every player's value through 2031. Tells you which contracts are good/bad (and by how much), and what fair market value is going forward. Here's what my model says about upcoming free agent Coby White:

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

A very merry “eat shit” to you and yours ❤️

lol at the Athletic for putting this in their main NBA newsletter today. That’s not true! Bucks keep the pick either way!

critical support to the trampoline dunkers

huh

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

Just not sure anything substantial about the Bucks will change unless one or both of Doc Rivers and Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t here anymore. Way too big of a sample to expect moves around the margin to make a real difference now. I know who I’d choose that’s for sure.

Listening to BS and I’ve heard a few “bet the Bucks regret that Middleton trade” takes, but tbh Kuzma has been a better player since last deadline, and that trade took us from the first apron to out of the tax entirely. I don’t regret that trade per se, I’m just sad Khris’ ankles turned to jello

Awful if this happens. Truly disgusting work.

Listen, probably nothing but you can’t be too safe. Gonna put us on preliminary It’s Happening Watch. Remember a Watch means the conditions are there but we haven’t seen anything. If we make it to a Warning then we’ll really need to buckle down.

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

hey sorry guys, hate stepping on a beautiful moment of celebration but that’s my manchurian candidate trigger. Tough timing but off I go

“If you didn’t see it, you would not believe it!” is: 1. A great call 2. Funny for a radio broadcast

I'm coming around to the idea of breaking up the '31 FRP into pieces I think.

Almost worse, @startribune.com is quoting from it, but removing the unhinged sounding parts. If you’re going to publish it, publish it whole so people see it’s fucking insane!
