against the pelicans, yes

ATL will take the better pick between MIL and NOP, with MIL getting the worse one

i think technically that means you should want whoever has the better record to lose

Neuroxex | Bucks

Maybe there’s some complex math someone can figure out but keeping the Pelicans pick as good as possible means it’s more likely that only the Bucks need to jump in the lottery for us to have a good pick.

I think it works out better for us if the Pelicans are 2nd in odds and we’re 7th than if it’s 5th and 6th

I’ve watched the Bucks for 30 years, I’d rather watch this than the actual terrible Bucks basketball I’ve endured.

we get the worse pick of ours or pels’, so games against the pels are like the only games we should win

They’re losing enough games on their own. I’ll take watching them get the wins they can.

FlipMoBitch | Bucks

No but finally being bad after 10 years it’s nice to know you can still beat a healthy Pelicans team on the 2nd day of a back to back

This is such a lie. They literally both played a gm 7 in the second round the next year. The bucks made it the ecf the year before, and the suns had 8 more wins than second place in the NBA

someone447 | Bucks

1 | 9 hours ago

Two of the three first round exits were because a top 3 player in the world was injured. We were very good in 2023 and pretty good in 2024. But Giannis played a total of 7 healthy minutes those years.

We were not good last year.

GoldenDome26 | Bucks

Yes I like watching enjoyable basketball and it doesn’t seem likely we end up worse than the Pelicans which is what we’d need to do to get a good pick

Pitiful_Simple_4435

2 | 9 hours ago

Nah we don’t need to be worse than the Pels for a good pick

Atlanta gets the most favourable pick between us and the Pels, while we get the remaining pick. So if the Pels end up with the #2 pick, if we lose games for better odds we can still end up with like the #5 pick (and the Hawks get the #2 pick while we get the #5 pick). Trying to win games to end up in the playin would mean we get a late lottery pick and go nowhere most likely.

Pitiful_Simple_4435

I want us to beat the Pels but lose other games the rest of the season

That Myles Turner shot should never have been overturned, and it’s shit like that which makes it easy to believe ref betting is alive and well.

They showed a still on the jumbotron, and you certainly can’t tell whether it’s shoe or shadow.

Colorapt0r | Bucks

3 | 8 hours ago

I mean the refs don’t have access to all the angles we do and you could see them looking at the Jumbotron and being like “shit”

someone447 | Bucks

1 | 3 hours ago

They showed a still from the replays they were looking at.

Practical_Leave_5228

2 | 8 hours ago

maybe I misunderstood but that still they kept showing was when the ball was already in his hands. It seems from earlier footage that he caught the ball while his right foot was out of bounds, prompting the turnover. Is this not why they made that ruling?

The_Sign_of_Zeta | MIL

1 | 2 hours ago

The issues there is two-fold. You couldn’t tell if his foot had been lifted up by the time he got the ball. But more importantly, they clearly said his left foot was out of bounds, not his right, which was not that foot.

Murphy had 44 points and could not miss, then ended the game missing his last five shots. He had zero points and a turnover in OT.

Tanking masterclass.

How does the NOLA FO think that this is a playoff roster, genuine organizational malpractice. Borrego is deadass somehow worse than Willie Green

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

3 | 9 hours ago

The roster has talent. It’s the coaching staff:

Also, every FO will say they’re a playoff team.

IHateOhms | Hawks

3 | 9 hours ago

Yeah but there’s one thing to say youre a play off team, but make moves suggesting otherwise

Its a whole different ballpark to say it and do NOTHING, which can only really be interpreted as Dumars and co actually believing it

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

1 | 9 hours ago

I mean, they’ve already traded away their 2026 FRP. Why invest more assets now before getting a new coaching staff?

Barring a deal that sends Poole or Murray outbound, waiting is probably the best decision.

OneThemBoysFromHT

1 | 9 hours ago

My thought is it’s clearly time to head toward at least some level of a rebuild. The Zion situation is its own entire thing, but Trey + Fears + Queen + Missi is at least a start of something. If they are able to trade like, Herb and get a 2026 1st + whatever else from it, I feel like it’s worth considering. Sure, you won’t have a lottery pick this year. But just getting a 1st in this draft to help accumulate young talent seems important, and the reporting indicates there would be a market for a guy like Herb (I get not trading Trey)

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

Milwaukee gave this game up on a silver platter and this team still loses.

The Pelicans are so disorganized when the game’s on the line. If this doesn’t tell the FO that they need a new coaching staff, I don’t know what will.

Giannis is probably staying. They’ll just rest him for this year and try to get a top 10 pick. Play out his contract and leave if it doesn’t work out

we need to trade Zion, Poole, and DJM for fucking anything. Nothing can be worse than them taking up salary on this roster.
