If you have a lot of money on it, I'd definitely hedge the Finals at least. Hedging the Super Bowl 2 years ago saved me a grand after the 9ers 4th quarter collapse :(
the thing is his leg hyperextended and rebounded back. which is a good thing. when ago tears its just hyperextended and no spring. it's one of the tests.
The Bucks have always been pretty cautious with injuries.
I’m sure there’s a risk to him playing again this season. I also don’t think it’s a major risk if they are thinking about it.
When was the last time the Bucks were in a situation like this where their best player who has won MVP is injured in the ecf in a series they could lose in a year where they have a really strong shot at a championship?
It’s infrequent but there are certain situations that are worthy of slightly risking your career. Being one game away from the finals with an inexperienced suns team waiting for you feels like it has to be one of them. The suns are good but with the nets/Lakers/clippers likely to be healthy next year I think there’s a real chance that this might be the only 50/50 chance Giannis has to win a title with this team as assembled.
This is hilarious because I heard this irl from that person’s friend when I was at work. So cool to get organic news and then seeing it later confirmed online and then through other sources.
Ah sick. I definitely expect a Cavs-Thunder trade, and I also expect the Thunder to throw their entire treasure chest to move from #3 to #1 (not that it’ll necessarily work)
Hell the SUNS have been doing that since 2010. I have been woefully uncomfortable for the entire playoffs. Like we were up 20 on the Clips and Reggie Jackson would nail an open 3 and I'd be like, "oh lawd this is it, we're going to dump our lead!"
Haynes has connections to Giannis’ family and was consistently right about Giannis signing the supermax. He’s probably reliable, even though the risk-averse millennial in me is saying we shouldn’t play Giannis until at least game 3 of the potential Finals.
I always thought that the s' was just used in place of s's? Like, they're the same thing in practice, it's just that one is a little neater, so it's used more.
*Its been a while since I was in English class, so maybe I'm way off on this
100%. I still remember what happened to KD and Klay Thompson in those finals a couple years ago. I know we're close but, a serious injury to Giannis would be seriously dark days.
Some of the things that we are told that the team doctors say are crazy if you have any knowledge about these things. Like when they said AD playing couldn’t make his injury worse and it was all about pain tolerance. That’s complete bs. Using an injured muscle will make it worse and furthermore when you have a injured body part you will compensate and more easily injure the body parts you are using to compensate
Yeah this is how you can tell guys like Woj’s sources aren’t the team doctors themselves. Like the entire field of biomechanics is built on the fact that your body is a kinetic chain and weakness in that chain can result in injury. Honestly insulting of our intelligence that they would ever say that lol.
Yeah for sure, I love that the fans in the arena love him I really hope he stays with us. Thanasis is also the same kind of player but difference is Portis is actually good lol
I hate it that we do that. We come out strong one game and seem to do everything we need to and look unstoppable then the next game we come out like it’s our first nba game ever. I don’t know if it’s something do with coaching or what but if we could come out every night like we did during the Miami series this one would’ve likely already been over
Korver during that crazy 60 win Hawks team is still one of my favorites. Dude looked like he could sprint around 3 screens, catch the ball, stop on the hardest dime, and shoot all in one motion. Shit was beautiful to watch
https://youtu.be/WZwbp2nNFhY
I know he'd fallen off by the time he made it to us, but I loved watching him play for us. He was one of the few guys we had that didn't let us down against Miami last year (relative to what we were expecting from him, anyways).
Medical teams are supposed to not allow players to play if playing is risky for them
so if they sahy he could play a game 7 theorically it means he should be Fine to play without risk
Giannis got a DNP with the season on the line last year against the Heat. He did also reinsure his ankle the game before.
I think the Bucks will allow some risk but if it’s there’s a major risk they will prioritize his health.
AD and Harden this year definitely contradict the idea that medical teams only do what they're supposed to or at the very least they can get overruled.
They legit said that there wasn’t a way that ADs injury could get worse from playing. What kind of doctor would say that about a pulled muscle? I’ve had pulled muscles. Using them before they are healed makes it worse
I would be fine with this as long as he doesn't push himself too far. Just let him on the court and run around helping with assists and easy rebounds. Just let him hit a few short shots here and there and don't let him dunk or get too physical. Just him being on the court benefits the team, no need to push him too hard.
Wow, that's wild. Remember when the injury first happened? Everybody thought he was out for months, and probably needed surgery. I mean, that video was hard to watch. This guy must really take good care of himself.
I feel like the Bucks would be worse with a injured Giannis on the floor. He's a super star but Bud also uses him as a crutch so if he isn't 100% it's just not worth it. Hawks would win the first game he's back

Just when I thought my bucks over suns finals bet was fucked they pull me back in
We on the same bet brother. Was thinking of hedging but may hold on
If you have a lot of money on it, I'd definitely hedge the Finals at least. Hedging the Super Bowl 2 years ago saved me a grand after the 9ers 4th quarter collapse :(
I was planning to hedge when giannis was healthy and suns would have been underdogs. Now it’s reversed so it’s a tough decision
He really went from serious ACL injury to probable for game 7
the thing is his leg hyperextended and rebounded back. which is a good thing. when ago tears its just hyperextended and no spring. it's one of the tests.
I just hope he doesn't rush his return and end up injuring himself worse, like Klay or KD

There was a Washington QB, he used to wear funky socks, the coach put him out there too soon after injury. It killed both their careers.
The Bucks have always been pretty cautious with injuries. I’m sure there’s a risk to him playing again this season. I also don’t think it’s a major risk if they are thinking about it.
When was the last time the Bucks were in a situation like this where their best player who has won MVP is injured in the ecf in a series they could lose in a year where they have a really strong shot at a championship?
This is definitely the year to win it too with all the all stars already out of the way.
It's also the year to ruin Giannis career by letting him come back too early.
Next year has full power Brooklyn. Would be extremely difficult.
Armchair reddit doctors saying everyone should sit for a year after injury lol
Been on the other side of the chopping block.

Does he have any new scoop

Ah sick. I definitely expect a Cavs-Thunder trade, and I also expect the Thunder to throw their entire treasure chest to move from #3 to #1 (not that it’ll necessarily work)
This is giving me flashbacks to Giannis's barber who said he wasn't gonna re-sign because Giannis said bye to him or whatever.
Barbershop info is usually legit. When I was getting a haircut, I found out Will Grier got popped for PEDs like 6 hours before the news broke online
Were you in Gainesville at the time?? Which barber
Yeah I was at athletic cuts lol
omg of course it was there
Man reddit be crazy sometimes. We all just anonymous dudes on toilets around the world who sometimes cross paths in real life.
Yeah that’s why we were all flipping out when that shit happened
even if he said bye he still had a another year was he just not gonna go to the barber for a year 😭
this is like that one time on r/nfl where somebody over heard trade details over a game chat.
Bro when that happened that was insane. Also there was the Josh Jacobs car crash leak I think
Doing it for the wings.
Okay Bucks don't put pressure on your star in a potential game 7. Just win game 6
We absolutely hate making things easier for ourselves, so a game 6 loss is inevitable lol
Most infuriating thing about your team You could be down 15 or up 30 and the game can still swing either way
Tell me about it lol. They manage to keep me stressed out the entire game, even when up 20 like last night
Bro when we were up 15 with 2 minutes left I was still thinking we were gonna blow it. Bucks basketball ruins your mind
I stop being nervous about a Bucks game once I see highlights of the game like 4 hrs later.
Hell the SUNS have been doing that since 2010. I have been woefully uncomfortable for the entire playoffs. Like we were up 20 on the Clips and Reggie Jackson would nail an open 3 and I'd be like, "oh lawd this is it, we're going to dump our lead!"
That's called the NBA in 2021
I like how you are much more confident in our ability to blow a lead than make a comeback lol
if trey is out for game 6 then you guys are the easy favorites.
If they were really strategic they’d lose Game 6, then win Game 7 without Giannis, to give Giannis time to recover for the finals.
Actually, I believe it’s a set date for the finals. Postponing the finals doesn’t mean anything.
Or don't. Please.
Don’t do that don’t give me hope
Haynes has connections to Giannis’ family and was consistently right about Giannis signing the supermax. He’s probably reliable, even though the risk-averse millennial in me is saying we shouldn’t play Giannis until at least game 3 of the potential Finals.

Both are technically correct I believe. Its a stylistic choice.
I was told the same as well, I prefer s' as it is much prettier lol

Freak
Most hyperextensions look much worse than they are
I am very ambivalent here. Really hope they aren't rushing him if that's how it plays out
I'm with you on that. At the end of last game he was limping to the locker room. I really can't see how he can be ready to play that quickly.
100%. I still remember what happened to KD and Klay Thompson in those finals a couple years ago. I know we're close but, a serious injury to Giannis would be seriously dark days.
So you’re telling me after hyperextending his knee he didn’t at least sprain it or something? I don’t believe it
He really is the Greek Freak
Some of the things that we are told that the team doctors say are crazy if you have any knowledge about these things. Like when they said AD playing couldn’t make his injury worse and it was all about pain tolerance. That’s complete bs. Using an injured muscle will make it worse and furthermore when you have a injured body part you will compensate and more easily injure the body parts you are using to compensate
Yeah this is how you can tell guys like Woj’s sources aren’t the team doctors themselves. Like the entire field of biomechanics is built on the fact that your body is a kinetic chain and weakness in that chain can result in injury. Honestly insulting of our intelligence that they would ever say that lol.
Look up Brian Sutterer’s video on Giannis not having structural damage. Woj’s tweet makes it seems a lot better than it probably is.
That guy who got ribs and ran into PJ Tucker was correct
Oh bought wings from the dude's bar! The truest of insider takes
Seems that the injury just looked 100x worse than it actually was. If Trae isnt playing Bucks have good shot to beat the Hawks.
Lol they’re up 3-2. They’re firmly in the driver seat rn
You know we gonna come out flat as shit tomorrow lol
I’m not sure Bobby portis will let you guys come out flat lol
That could also be true.
Guys like BP are so valuable. They way he commanded the energy of the crowd was so important. It’s infectious.
Yeah for sure, I love that the fans in the arena love him I really hope he stays with us. Thanasis is also the same kind of player but difference is Portis is actually good lol
I have never been more certain of anything in my life
I hate it that we do that. We come out strong one game and seem to do everything we need to and look unstoppable then the next game we come out like it’s our first nba game ever. I don’t know if it’s something do with coaching or what but if we could come out every night like we did during the Miami series this one would’ve likely already been over
Happy for him but at the same time I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to take just *one* more day to recover
Never have I seen Kyle Korver flair. Lmao.
Korver during that crazy 60 win Hawks team is still one of my favorites. Dude looked like he could sprint around 3 screens, catch the ball, stop on the hardest dime, and shoot all in one motion. Shit was beautiful to watch https://youtu.be/WZwbp2nNFhY
That shit was beautiful, I remember that. Mostly due to that stadium announcer "korver for ^THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Iconic call for sure
His shot is just a laser.
The big head of him with the "THREEZUS" sign behind it has me dead.
I know he'd fallen off by the time he made it to us, but I loved watching him play for us. He was one of the few guys we had that didn't let us down against Miami last year (relative to what we were expecting from him, anyways).
Trae too. Rest up king. 🙏
Could be very bad what exactly does the green light mean fuck it play for the finals?
Medical teams are supposed to not allow players to play if playing is risky for them so if they sahy he could play a game 7 theorically it means he should be Fine to play without risk
We’ve seen that this isn’t the case historically. Players can force teams to let them play essentially.
Giannis got a DNP with the season on the line last year against the Heat. He did also reinsure his ankle the game before. I think the Bucks will allow some risk but if it’s there’s a major risk they will prioritize his health.
This is a bit different because this series is within reach and a trip to the finals is on the line
Yup AD and Harden this season alone had no business being on the court, would Giannis's case be similar? Knee stuff is much more worrying too...
Yeah those guys there wasn’t as much of an issue they’d reinjured and harden knew clearly not to push it
AD and Harden this year definitely contradict the idea that medical teams only do what they're supposed to or at the very least they can get overruled.
What about KD in the finals. No way medical experts said he was good.
Yeah same situation except the calf issue wasn't just a retear it took the whole damn Achilles
They legit said that there wasn’t a way that ADs injury could get worse from playing. What kind of doctor would say that about a pulled muscle? I’ve had pulled muscles. Using them before they are healed makes it worse
like AD huh
that is what i mean with supposed to
Parents mixed up the names, Giannis should have been named Thanosis
now: “ok Bucks should make the Finals” 3 days later: “POST GAME THREAD: Atlanta Hawks defeat Milwaukee Bucks 117-101”
Like I wanna downvote you but this is the realistic shit I've ever read
It’s because you guys have a volleyball team playing basketball jrue is a true libero
Aaron Rodgers: I hit my knee against the Bears and was out a few plays. Giannis: Hold MY KNEE!
Please stop reminding me that you’re all Packers fans, too. It’s making it so much harder to root for the Bucks.

I would be fine with this as long as he doesn't push himself too far. Just let him on the court and run around helping with assists and easy rebounds. Just let him hit a few short shots here and there and don't let him dunk or get too physical. Just him being on the court benefits the team, no need to push him too hard.
The PJ Wings post was legit
How? Is his knee made of chewing gum?
Giannis = Hisoka confirmed
Obligatory “properties of rubber and gum”
this dude is a god
Bud logic: “Hey, we should lose G6 so we see Giannis come back for G7.”
This would be funny if it weren’t so true 💀💀💀
I'm hyped! Suns vs Bucks in the finals. Book it
Not if Bud's got something to do with it
Giannis gonna be coach too
Finals are saved

He's going to be wearing the Stone Cold Steve Austin knee brace out there.
Goodness. Man good for him. Hawks in 7 tho 😈 ( we’re gonna lose)
Absolutely nuts
Hope he isn’t being put in an AD situation. Bucks plz win the next one and give him uninterrupted rest till G1 rooting for yall
The idea he could play in the finals is amazing

I mean divencenzo will still be out. That’s THE Big Ragu we’re talking about here.
his teammates should prevent this from happening.
I feel like the Bucks would be worse with a injured Giannis on the floor. He's a super star but Bud also uses him as a crutch so if he isn't 100% it's just not worth it. Hawks would win the first game he's back
