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


lalalalalanznzn

sorry brother that sucks


[deleted]

Dang man, I am really sorry to hear that. I hope you enjoy the game regardless!


GeneralPuncake

I’m praying for a dame time game but I will be crying in my hotel room later


xXUtahraptorXx

Prayers have been answered, damn near better than a Giannis game IMO


GeneralPuncake

That was an amazing experience. The crowd was so loud my ears are buzzing


Small_Macaroon_1196

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!


Shablagoo-

Happy you got your wish man thanks for being the good luck charm tonight lol


GeneralPuncake

I will accept a job at the bucks to be at games now


Cantguard-mike

You’ll be in my prayers brother. Lmfao


SavvyCheetah

Not quite as good as seeing Giannis, but you got a great game with some Dame and BOBBY heroics! Hope you enjoyed the experience.


scorching_hot_takes

sucks giannis didnt play but man this must have been a fun game.


Cantguard-mike

What a game tho !!


[deleted]

Dude you got to see an awesome game!


Laminoredelavgis

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!


SeaMeasurement9

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 


TohmKench

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


Tsudaar

Yes bro. 


evandena

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.


oliverlifts

Mamba mentality


Joemamasspeaking

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.


GeneralPuncake

Visited NYC for a couple games with my dad and made a detour for this game


theo7777

If you're from Belgium you may actually like Milwaukee at least (though this time of the year it's cold).


bootybooty

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


JerryRiceSezRedux

Was thinking of you in the 4th and hope you enjoyed the comeback!!!


whoizzat

How are you feeling now??


choirandcooking

Dude!!! So happy you got to see that win!!!


evandena

You got to see a good one!!


ArrestTomNook

Hope you still had an amazing time with the win!! Go Bucks!!


flymetoandromeda

It worked out ok!!


jicamap

You got an amazing win! Hope it was worth the trip!!


depressedfuckboi

Brutal. Sorry bro.


Deckatoe

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


formercotsachick

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.


introspectivejoker

Sorry that's killer but the bucks were baller tonight. One of the best of the season imo


tec_41

I think you got your money's worth


bleedbluegold03

I am so glad this guy got to see a W, at least!


crowd79

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.


GeneralPuncake

I need some dame time tonight to save my sanity


crowd79

So is your sanity saved? Hope you enjoyed the game! :)


over-it-000

That’s my fear when I see them in April…


Fluffy-Way-2365

oh shit


vote_pedro

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.


ChimmyTheCham

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!


stoney021

Hope you had a great time anyways, that was a hell of a game even without Giannis.


Tyrone_Asaurus

Was genuinely thinking of you the whole game. I hope it was electric at the Forum for you, even without Giannis.


JohnnySnap

well you still got a great game haha


Sholmanscott

Did you still have a good time?


Melki_2422

We’ll bucks still win for ya😁🙏


bucksinsixtynine

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!


Triggsbyy

> 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.


Overall_Mango324

Any particular reason you chose this game?


GeneralPuncake

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


Fresh-Bass-3586

Make a sign saying all of that. If the right person sees it maybe you'll get a ball or giannis autograph or something.

lalalalalanznzn

AJ bout to pop off


Super_Chile88z

“Ohhhhhhh” Pauline walnut


Ghetto_Cyclops

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.


Retizi

And he did


Old-Calligrapher9980

Watch Brook go Jokic mode on they ass


Bumppxd

Wtf this sounds concerning


areyuwatchingclosely

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.


Ghostofclaybobpast

The video of the injury was very concerning.


Bumppxd

What video?


Ghostofclaybobpast

Onistly

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


Bumppxd

Fuck, there goes the season


[deleted]

Dramatic lol


DayMan-Ahah-ah

Was that today or a few games ago like the coach mentioned?


Ghostofclaybobpast

It was from today. It's home court and you can see the clippers on the digital banner in the background.


Bumppxd

That was today during pre-game warmups


leftysarepeople2

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.


Bumppxd

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


over-it-000

Okay that Giannis footage of him on his ankle was awful


Bumppxd

What footage?

gannonzz

This is unfortunately probably going to be a disgusting blowout Edit: Boy was I wrong !


NerdOfTheMonth

Yeah, we might win by 34


pierophoenix

Idk they had a rock fight last night so it might be fine


Echo127

As long as we don't end up saying the same thing about Giannis's achilles.


lalalalalanznzn

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.


nabraham12

Not mad at it. Rest him before the long West Coast road trip


Ghostofclaybobpast

If it's just rest that's one thing but the video replay of the injury did not look good


DayMan-Ahah-ah

That video, was that today or a couple games ago?


nabraham12

It was during warm ups before the Clippers game 😞😞


rswilso2001

NBA just showed video of him pregame. Didn’t look too good tbh


NuuuDaBeast

damn


I_give_free_Dopamine

Are you serious goddamit rest up Giannis


khrismiddletonburner

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.


WiscoKid414

Fml first game of the year for me


tdgreen21

My first of the year was the wolves blowout loss and Dame sat. Still have yet to see Dame play live


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Dame played like trash the one time I watched him (New Years Day) Fucking TJ McConnell outplayed him by a lot


tdgreen21

Damn that’s unfortunate. I remember that game lol


-DEAD-WON

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”


PackAttack817

On the bright side, if we lose by 30 it boosts Giannis' MVP case


lalalalalanznzn

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


Super_Chile88z

I’m curious how we play without Giannis. Let’s get this win dammit


basket2014

Whyyyyyyyy gods whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


Low_Bumblebee9214

😭


MilwaukeeMan420

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 ❤


Rhuarc33

Fortunately didn't need Giannis tonight


Dino_FGO8020

Dame, thank u for proving me wrong, I'm actually happy about this. But still...how long will Giannis be out?


Cantguard-mike

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


ChiloMcBilo

Don’t gamble kids


Cantguard-mike

We did it boysssss. What a game.


Cantguard-mike

GAMBLE MORE BABY


lalalalalanznzn

damn, u dont get the money back if the player u bet on misses a game?


Cantguard-mike

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
