Disappointing end, but it was a fun ride. I wish we were more consistent, but lot of young guys, so you gotta live with them ups and downs.

I hope we bring Monroe back. Dude was so good for us, and was a great leader. I'm not sure if we'll be able to afford Snell (he made himself some money this year, and Parker's extension is coming). I'll have to research the cap and what our situation is, but I feel like with our starting 5 (whether it's Monroe or Thon, and obviously a healthy Bari) plus Monroe/Thon, Delly & Snell off the bench, that's a front 8 that can do some real damage deep into the playoffs. We just need to get Giannis, Bari and Middleton on the floor together so they can work on finding their roles together.

You already know that Giannis is not gonna take this loss well. He's gonna work his ass off this summer, and I just hope he can add an offensive weapon or two. Doesn't even have to be the 3 (though that's ideal obviously). Just a good turnaround on the block or at the FT line and he'll be that much harder to guard. Whatever the case, we're gonna have to wait awhile still to see this team at full strength, I just hope Bari can come back just as strong as the he did after the first injury.

Aint Bari out until like next April? I hate to say it but, you don't put your money on a guy whose had 2 major injuries

shyt, pay him out of respect, but don't give him anything more then a one year contract... Even if he rebounds at the end of next year, they shouldn't be thinking about max....

This is all in the future, but I just don't wanna see the Bucks gambling with an injured star like the 76er's... that team doesnt have a choice, we do :yeshrug:

Year 4/5 is usually when the high school aged stars took the step from star to superstar.
KG,Durant,Dirk,Kobe,Mcgrady.
Giannis needs to get his jumper to a westbrook/rose level so his opponents can't just sag of him and he is a threat outside the paint.
Also it make it easier for his teamates so they have more room.
Giannis is an all-NBA player this year next thing is MVP conversation.

In Milwaukee, Jason Kidd seems to have developed a strong rapport with his staff, and is willing to let them take the lead on items that other head coaches may want to retain control over. Sean Sweeney is the architect of Milwaukee’s blitz-heavy (and oft-criticized) defense, and Joe Prunty was an able interim head coach when Kidd went on medical leave. It’s fair to speculate that Eric Hughes, Scott Foster, and newcomer Stacey Augmon enjoy a relatively long leash when it comes to improving the Bucks’ players.
