Don't we all

If I were anyone eyeballing key RC cards in the $500-2000 range I'd be buying them now before stimulus checks go out. It'll be either $600 or $2000 if amended and the market had an insane explosion with the first checks in April.

KhalDrogo · 12-28-2020, 06:48 AM

Bucks are in big time trouble. The bench after Bobby Portis is atrocious. Won't be surprised if they don't finish top 4 in the East. And as the season goes on, hopefully the Giannis trade talk ramps up.

Pritchard 13 points for the Celts. That's pretty good. I knew they have high hopes for him and say he plays with a high motor. Good to see he got the most minutes for a rookie.

draymond about to be "day to day" until march lmao

But at least he took out those stupid looking braids.

They have at least 6 just complete zero's on their bench. A few are young players in Nwora and Merrill but both were 2nd rounders. There isn't a lot of cushion once their starters leave the game. I like Torrey Craig but other than him it's a lot of crap. If the Bucks have an injury to a starter they could be in serious trouble.

He was my favorite rookie coming in. Landed in a good spot. Room to grow, get playing time, and do it all within a winning environment.

I know Smart and Tatum and coach have really raved about him and his hustle. He seems to be taking the early lead as the early rookie getting the most minutes. They say he's really feisty like Smart and that's why they like him on defense plus he's a great shooter.

matt roberson · 12-28-2020, 10:00 AM

I didnt get to watch the bucks game but WTH happened? Did they look that bad, or did NYK play that good?

All things that lead to winning in college and what pushed him into All-American status.

And Craig is hardly seeing the floor so far. Garbage time minutes basically.

Both. Knicks shot 16-27 from 3. Some of that was poor defense, some was good shooting. After a few, they were already dialed in.

Milwaukee beat them on the offensive glass, had less turnovers, scored more in the paint, and had more fast break points. It came down to shooting.

RogerGodahell · 12-28-2020, 10:15 AM

This was preseason game but he had 13 yesterday too.

They gave up when they let Brogdon walk. They've only gotten worse since.

brothertona · 12-28-2020, 10:27 AM

Yeah Pritchard looks really good early, the Celtics have run some weird combos out there early on, I know it is because of injuries but the two bigs lineup was rough.

honestly, milwaukee has fumbled so much building around giannis. ownership made an unforgivable mistake by playing it cheap with brogdon and then their GM couldn't wait before the trade moratorium was uplifted to announce bogdan was joining the team. any competent GM would've closed that deal without a hitch.

i expected giannis to re-sign, and i applaud him for it but it's really not a good career move if winning a title is at the top of his list.

brothertona · 12-28-2020, 10:35 AM

It sucks, the Bucks are unfortunately capped out for the next few years, their only hope really is trading Middleton or moving Donte to get some more depth for the team.

sebreg · 12-28-2020, 10:37 AM

Signing Bledsoe (even if they did eventually manage to trade him) and letting Brogdon go, what a blunder. But ultimately, the Bucks are capped if Giannis never develops post-game/consistent jumper (with one-dimensional offensive game he gets game-planned into a strait-jacket in the playoffs), or they need to sign one more 1b/2a level type player who can keep defenses honest.

RogerGodahell · 12-28-2020, 10:39 AM

I think the Celtics are stronger than the Bucks now. They're my #1 seed in the east.

RogerGodahell · 12-28-2020, 10:40 AM

Nets could even creep up in the #2 or #3 spot with the Bucks.

Even after watching them get dismantled by the Nets? Who knows when Kemba is back and what he will look like...

RogerGodahell · 12-28-2020, 10:46 AM

Yeah that was just one game the Celts are built all around tough from start to finish. They're so solid.
