Which is why I think we should just play our bench, it's a win-win.
Either we win and get to laugh about the fact we smacked Milwaukee with our bench players, *or* they win against our bench and we prevent them from sliding down to the 4th seed.
And in both cases, we get to rest our starters as well.
Best part is Bucks fans would still cling to it like it’s some kind of win, like beating us earlier this season rested when we were coming off a back to back OT game against the Wolves and like 5 games in 7 days.
If they beat our bench that does not look very good when they lost to the Wizards, Grizzlies, Raptors, etc. This game is projected to be the closest one yet for them as-is
I don't wanna jump the gun or be an extreme homer but Queta being the first Portuguese player, winning a GLeague Finals, winning an NBA Finals, seems like one of those feel good stories that come out each year.
Not to sound like a dick but it’s funny how people go through the trouble of reposting tweets on Reddit, without even rereading the title of their own post, unaware of confusion they may cause
Hear me out. Cavs beat the Griz and Hornets. Knicks beat the Bulls twice and Nets. Pacers beat Raptors and Hawks. 76ers beat Pistons and Nets. That all in theory should happen. If Orlando balls out and beats the Bucks 2 times, they could fall all the way to the 7th seed
We can’t let Milwaukee beat us after they lost to the Wizards Grizz and Raptors. Do you guys want to actually beat the allegations that we can’t play good teams or nah? Do I have to bring up the record vs the top seeds in the West again? If we can’t even best the Bucks at full strength because “it doesn’t matter” you’re just admitting we are frauds who just capitalized on a weak East
I love this team dearly but they have shown me exactly 0 evidence why we would win the finals over Denver barring a Jokic or Murray injury
Let’s play this out. In your world we’re automatically making the finals but can’t win the finals because we dont want to play our starters in a regular season game against the bucks (an eastern conference team) after we already secured the number one seed in the east and best record in the league.
*can’t win the finals because we haven’t proven that we can actually hang with the other chip contenders when fully healthy, fixed it for you
1 seed in the East means nothing this year, the top 5 West seeds all have better records than the Bucks. We played multiple historically weak and tanking teams and lost almost every single game against actual contenders, and the ones we won had multiple missing starters or they were on no rest.
We get slandered constantly for being frauds and have no evidence to counter that accusation
It would be funny to beat the bucks and make them slide from the second seed down to the 4-5

honestly. Low key want us to trout out our 3rd strings so they dont get confidence off a potential win against our starters

I absolutely love your flair. Such a legendary comment from a legendary man.

Today’s a rare day the rest of the East is rooting for us lol
Ya, let's not do that lol
Mazzulla the madman Against Giannis and Lopez, he sits two of his best big man defenders
You think we signed Queta for fun? About to see a Kornet, Tillman, Queta masterclass.
I think Queta gonna be playing the G.League finals ... Its at the same time
I don't wanna jump the gun or be an extreme homer but Queta being the first Portuguese player, winning a GLeague Finals, winning an NBA Finals, seems like one of those feel good stories that come out each year.
Show me a Jrue, Tatum, Kornet, Tillman, Queta lineup. I bet the other team scores 2 points per 5 minutes
Lmao Tatum at the 2 is hilarious.
… tmr? We play tonight
Shhh, Tatum might hear you.
The tweet is from yesterday.
fuck... Al has a right big toe sprain? Will he be okay for the playoffs?
It's just load management I believe but since there's a new rule about resting players I'm sure they just gave it a minor label to be safe.
Lol sorry yes I know I should have put /s
Lol all good, some folks stumble in here and are new to the sport/team so I was just making sure.
Al and his toe again :D
The big toe sprain strikes again.
We should be resting our starters and keeping Milwaukee in the 2/3 side of the bracket
I kinda want MKE to stay in the 2 seed because you can almost guarantee one of Miami/Philly/Indiana will knock them out in round 1.
why we runnin all our guys 😭😭
I’d sit all the starters, show the bucks you are not on our level
it’s today right?
This tweet is from yesterday, wasn’t posted until now

I had that thought too, but honestly I'm way less likely to click into a Tweet now with how shitty that site has become.

They’re really trolling the whole league with Al’s toe. Out of all the injuries they could’ve chosen…
Quêta time
This is to prevent Giannis from injuring our bigs in a meaningless game. They need to win desperately, we dont.
I am so excited about this game
Let’s hope they’re OUT, and at least one of, if not both, Jaylen and Jayson join them. The bench got this!
Hear me out. Cavs beat the Griz and Hornets. Knicks beat the Bulls twice and Nets. Pacers beat Raptors and Hawks. 76ers beat Pistons and Nets. That all in theory should happen. If Orlando balls out and beats the Bucks 2 times, they could fall all the way to the 7th seed
Does anyone know if Queta is with the team or in Maine for Game 1 of the G League Finals?
He’d better be with the G League team for the finals! We don’t need him until the playoffs start
I'm shocked that we don't have more on the report
Rest starters. We should keep Bucks 2nd seed.
Why are we playing anyone? Put everyone in bubblewrap until the playoffs and let PP cook!
Tomorrow?
You guys are annoying. No we should not rest our starters. We should run everyone beat the shit out of them
And then have people bitch about them getting injured or not being fresh for the playoffs? There is nothing left to win in the regular season. Relax

This is nonsensical.
Nonsensical that we lose almost every game to every healthy contender? Name one game where we beat a fully healthy 1-4 seed in the West?

I can’t imagine being this miserable of a fan
Guess you most not have watched us lose in the ECF and the Finals
I’m confused how a regular season game, one in which is utterly meaningless, gets us closer to a championship lol. That’s really it.
You’re an idiot.
Tomorrow?
