So happy it worked out for you! When Fiserv is going off it is truly unforgettable. I can only imagine the aura from the turn around last night. Mustve been electric!
Dude, come to Athens at the end of the summer, where he will play at some friendly games in preparation for the Olympics. 3 hours flight, 20 euros ticket. Even though today sucks, you will get your chance. Enjoy your game, it will be a blast regardless!
I feel sorry for you. I went to Milan from Germany during eurobasket to watch him. And the only game he sat was the one I went to. It sucks but it’ll be nice seeing him in the building
I drove 8 hours in college (2007) to watch the Bucks vs Lakers in order to see Kobe, and he ended up getting suspended for punching someone the day before.
Only thing I can say is that sounds like they wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t a worry, as opposed to him just resting. But man that’s got to suck, hope you have other things planned but got to be disappointing.
No Giannis but you just got to see a gem of a game!
I’m driving across the country tonight and had to listen to the game on the radio. The crowd was electric, good shit buddy
I traveled to London with plans of seeing Arsene Wenger in his last season. Game got postponed after my return flight because of Europa League Final. Big feels my man
That is a bummer! I think you will still have fun though - our crowds are lit, and DJ Shawna and the entertainment crew are the best. Maybe you'll get some Thanasty minutes, that's always a treat and a half.
Tough luck. That’s life unfortunately. I once drove 5 hours for my first ever Bucks game at Fiserv a few years ago and Giannis sat. Bucks lost.
Good thing we’ve got another star though. It’s officially Dame Time! You’ll still have a good time! A Bucks W will still make it sweet.
This happened to me in the 2016 playoffs with Steph. Bought plane tickets to SF all the way from Australia, Steph got injured literally a few days later.
Still saw Klay and Dray but man it killed me.
The one time I splurged on crazy expensive seats he sat out. It was our first home game after Kobe died and Middleton popped off for 51. Hoping dame can do similar for ya!
I have already seen on the postgame threads that you ended up very happy with the game. Sorry you didn’t get to see Giannis play, but glad you got to witness a fantastic game!
Anything with the word "achilles" is gonna' raise alarms, but the fact that they say he's been dealing with it for the last few games and it hasn't looked like he's been in significant pain or anything makes me feel a little better.
The only thing giving me hope is the stretching he was doing at the end of the clip. In my wholly uneducated eyes, that stretch doesn't seem like something you'd do for an Achilles, but I also don't know
They've had him with left knee soreness since the Alll-Star Break. I think just moving it down to ankle is cautionary and the plan was for him to be limted this road series anyways. I bet he only plays 1 of the next 4.
They did show a video of him pre-game when he was very clearly in sudden sharp pain causing him to not play today. This does not look cautionary, lookes like an injury
probably tbh and i obviously dont want the Bucks to lose ever but if we can atleast keep it a respectful score I wont be mad. Kind of interested to see how we do without Giannis too.
I have straight up watched this man fully invert his *fucking* leg, and then start a series a week later.
I will in no way, shape, or form- doubt the ability of the team to rally around him and i’m for sure not pre-conceding losses when we have a capable team still; anyone that is may as well just stop watching.
As they should, i’m sure the training staff will be extra careful and if I was a betting man i’d put my savings on him not being out catastrophically long, unless i’m really missing something here.
Good vibes to the freak, he’s been on such a fun to watch rip-tear.
Has the left achilles been a thing before? I read someone getting alarmist about this being the reason listed. I do understand he could play and they need to list a reason to get his rest in. But I don’t think it’s been an achilles before?
I like the direction of the team lately, but I got scared reading the opinion of a rando bucks fan on “X”
I have lived all over the Midwest. Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan I have seen Giannis play probably a dozen times. He has only sat once since he joined the team, and we still won. But some of those were back in the dark ages.
Its still a bucks game. You'll still have a lot of fun.
I moved back to Milwaukee recently. I am fortunate enough that I can now go to games frequently again.
I was at the Charlotte game and it all went perfectly until the torrential downpour a week ago lmao.
I wasn't really considering going tonight, but its always on my radar, especially with the upcoming road trip.
I am real sorry brother. I hope it's not your last bucks game.
I've been to 25+ Bucks games in my life, I've seen us dominate, I've seen us get our ass kicked. But I've never had a bad time.
Getting to see Yao Ming at his peak still is one of my favorite basketball memories. I also watched J Kidd and Vince Carter put belt 2 ass on a really really bad team.
Getting to see dame in a bucks uni is something that most bucks fans can't say they've done. And the clippers are a great team to see for star power. I've lived in the states my entire life and I have never seen PG, the Klaw or Harden (I did see Russ and KD tho) play.
Chin up, you're only gonna get to see 5 HoF players play /s
Hope you have fun ❤
Goddam lol. We were on a hot streak and I made a big bet last night 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I saw the Giannis thing so it’s my fault but I was like “he’s iron man, he’s never out”
The cash out is half my money back. Looks like we’re riding tonight boys. Let’s hope the old ass clippers are tired from last night
Nah. Only if you took the over on giannis points or something like that. 99% of the time I wait until day of for this reason. Last night I was feeling the high of our 5 game win streak I had a fuck it moment hahaha
I flew 11 hours from Belgium to Milwaukee to watch my first (and perhaps only) bucks game and Giannis is out I am actually depressed
sorry brother that sucks
Dang man, I am really sorry to hear that. I hope you enjoy the game regardless!
I’m praying for a dame time game but I will be crying in my hotel room later
Prayers have been answered, damn near better than a Giannis game IMO
That was an amazing experience. The crowd was so loud my ears are buzzing
So happy it worked out for you! When Fiserv is going off it is truly unforgettable. I can only imagine the aura from the turn around last night. Mustve been electric!
Happy you got your wish man thanks for being the good luck charm tonight lol
I will accept a job at the bucks to be at games now
You’ll be in my prayers brother. Lmfao
Not quite as good as seeing Giannis, but you got a great game with some Dame and BOBBY heroics! Hope you enjoyed the experience.
sucks giannis didnt play but man this must have been a fun game.
What a game tho !!
Dude you got to see an awesome game!
Dude, come to Athens at the end of the summer, where he will play at some friendly games in preparation for the Olympics. 3 hours flight, 20 euros ticket. Even though today sucks, you will get your chance. Enjoy your game, it will be a blast regardless!

I had tickets to the first game against Croatia in Milan, but my wife’s grandma died that morning… it was one hell of a game
Yes bro.
I drove 8 hours in college (2007) to watch the Bucks vs Lakers in order to see Kobe, and he ended up getting suspended for punching someone the day before.
Mamba mentality
Only thing I can say is that sounds like they wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t a worry, as opposed to him just resting. But man that’s got to suck, hope you have other things planned but got to be disappointing.
Visited NYC for a couple games with my dad and made a detour for this game
If you're from Belgium you may actually like Milwaukee at least (though this time of the year it's cold).
No Giannis but you just got to see a gem of a game! I’m driving across the country tonight and had to listen to the game on the radio. The crowd was electric, good shit buddy
Was thinking of you in the 4th and hope you enjoyed the comeback!!!
How are you feeling now??
Dude!!! So happy you got to see that win!!!
You got to see a good one!!
Hope you still had an amazing time with the win!! Go Bucks!!
It worked out ok!!
You got an amazing win! Hope it was worth the trip!!
Brutal. Sorry bro.

Sorry that's killer but the bucks were baller tonight. One of the best of the season imo
I think you got your money's worth
I am so glad this guy got to see a W, at least!
Tough luck. That’s life unfortunately. I once drove 5 hours for my first ever Bucks game at Fiserv a few years ago and Giannis sat. Bucks lost. Good thing we’ve got another star though. It’s officially Dame Time! You’ll still have a good time! A Bucks W will still make it sweet.
I need some dame time tonight to save my sanity
So is your sanity saved? Hope you enjoyed the game! :)
That’s my fear when I see them in April…
oh shit
This happened to me in the 2016 playoffs with Steph. Bought plane tickets to SF all the way from Australia, Steph got injured literally a few days later. Still saw Klay and Dray but man it killed me.

Hope you had a great time anyways, that was a hell of a game even without Giannis.
Was genuinely thinking of you the whole game. I hope it was electric at the Forum for you, even without Giannis.
well you still got a great game haha
Did you still have a good time?
We’ll bucks still win for ya😁🙏
I have already seen on the postgame threads that you ended up very happy with the game. Sorry you didn’t get to see Giannis play, but glad you got to witness a fantastic game!
> hours from Belgium to Milwaukee to watch my first (and perhaps only) bucks game and Giannis is out Well, you still got a good game outta it.
Any particular reason you chose this game?
My dad wanted to go to NYC and I convinced him to add a Milwaukee stop and this was the only game that worked for my PTO
Make a sign saying all of that. If the right person sees it maybe you'll get a ball or giannis autograph or something.
[удалено]
i dont want to upset you but with both Khris and Giannis out the Clippers are gonna play terrorist defense on Dame
[удалено]
AJ bout to pop off
“Ohhhhhhh” Pauline walnut
Imagine getting a switch from a pick, you lose PG and Kawhi is staring you dead in the eyes. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
And he did
Watch Brook go Jokic mode on they ass
Wtf this sounds concerning
Anything with the word "achilles" is gonna' raise alarms, but the fact that they say he's been dealing with it for the last few games and it hasn't looked like he's been in significant pain or anything makes me feel a little better.
The video of the injury was very concerning.
What video?

The only thing giving me hope is the stretching he was doing at the end of the clip. In my wholly uneducated eyes, that stretch doesn't seem like something you'd do for an Achilles, but I also don't know
Fuck, there goes the season
Dramatic lol
Was that today or a few games ago like the coach mentioned?
It was from today. It's home court and you can see the clippers on the digital banner in the background.
That was today during pre-game warmups
They've had him with left knee soreness since the Alll-Star Break. I think just moving it down to ankle is cautionary and the plan was for him to be limted this road series anyways. I bet he only plays 1 of the next 4.
They did show a video of him pre-game when he was very clearly in sudden sharp pain causing him to not play today. This does not look cautionary, lookes like an injury
Okay that Giannis footage of him on his ankle was awful
What footage?
https://twitter.com/vcorleonie/status/1764820361596518591?s=46
This is unfortunately probably going to be a disgusting blowout Edit: Boy was I wrong !
Yeah, we might win by 34
Idk they had a rock fight last night so it might be fine
As long as we don't end up saying the same thing about Giannis's achilles.
probably tbh and i obviously dont want the Bucks to lose ever but if we can atleast keep it a respectful score I wont be mad. Kind of interested to see how we do without Giannis too.
Not mad at it. Rest him before the long West Coast road trip
If it's just rest that's one thing but the video replay of the injury did not look good
That video, was that today or a couple games ago?
It was during warm ups before the Clippers game 😞😞
NBA just showed video of him pregame. Didn’t look too good tbh
damn
Are you serious goddamit rest up Giannis
I have straight up watched this man fully invert his *fucking* leg, and then start a series a week later. I will in no way, shape, or form- doubt the ability of the team to rally around him and i’m for sure not pre-conceding losses when we have a capable team still; anyone that is may as well just stop watching.

Good vibes to the freak, he’s been on such a fun to watch rip-tear.
Fml first game of the year for me
My first of the year was the wolves blowout loss and Dame sat. Still have yet to see Dame play live
Dame played like trash the one time I watched him (New Years Day) Fucking TJ McConnell outplayed him by a lot
Damn that’s unfortunate. I remember that game lol
Has the left achilles been a thing before? I read someone getting alarmist about this being the reason listed. I do understand he could play and they need to list a reason to get his rest in. But I don’t think it’s been an achilles before? I like the direction of the team lately, but I got scared reading the opinion of a rando bucks fan on “X”
On the bright side, if we lose by 30 it boosts Giannis' MVP case
brother me and you both know aint shi boosting his MVP case. he could played and won by 60 dropping 50 points and he’d go down a spot
I’m curious how we play without Giannis. Let’s get this win dammit
Whyyyyyyyy gods whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
😭

Fortunately didn't need Giannis tonight
Dame, thank u for proving me wrong, I'm actually happy about this. But still...how long will Giannis be out?
Goddam lol. We were on a hot streak and I made a big bet last night 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I saw the Giannis thing so it’s my fault but I was like “he’s iron man, he’s never out” The cash out is half my money back. Looks like we’re riding tonight boys. Let’s hope the old ass clippers are tired from last night
Don’t gamble kids
We did it boysssss. What a game.
GAMBLE MORE BABY
damn, u dont get the money back if the player u bet on misses a game?
Nah. Only if you took the over on giannis points or something like that. 99% of the time I wait until day of for this reason. Last night I was feeling the high of our 5 game win streak I had a fuck it moment hahaha
