The Warriors looked really nice in their first pre season game against the Lakers.
And with nice I mean scary.
CP3 fit in perfectly with the splash brothers and had some nice pick'n rolls with the Warriors front court.
Also they young guys showed some really good players and especially Kuminga looked strong. I guess he worked a lot on his game this summer, he even shot several 3s.
If they build on this they can be a very good team in the west. Many youtubers already jump on the band wagon and calling them the scariest team in the west, but has yet to be seen.

Seeing 54.5 games makes me think it is still not really all that impossible. I mean it is 1.82 odds and looks like it may actually be worth it. Bucks was already a good team, and they have a great head coach as well, I mean this is the team that won the title just a few years ago, so it is not really like they are all that bad and now with Dame on the roster along with Giannis and Middleton, I feel like they do have a player at almost every position that could be very good. Reaching 55 wins doesn't look all that impossible and they may end up doing it.
I will probably bet on them, need to go and take a look now, to see if that is still the odds and that is still the games, and I need to check other teams as well and how the yare, because I may like some other one a bit more who knows?
It's worth to bet IMO. I will probably bet on them, need to go and take a look now, to see if that is still the odds and that is still the games, and I need to check other teams as well and how the yare, because I may like some other one a bit more who knows?
I mean a combination of Giannis, and Dame will only get 55 games?
The expectation towards these the Bucks right now is at it's highest. If there's a hindrance for the team not to get at least 55 wins, it's the new coach, injuries, and chemistry. Having a new coach isn't a new problem right now because we've seen coaches like Ime Udoka, and Joe Mazulla performed really well in their first year as a head coach. I'm not expecting the same with AJ Griffin, but with this type of roster, I think he can handle it and lead the team to at least the top spot in the East. Injuries are inevitable... so I just expect for the best for them. Chemistry can be built overtime, and I don't see it as a problem as well.
TBH, it's a good bet. I expect that the Bucks will get at least more than 55 wins with their current roster right now. I will not be surprised if they will get 60 wins this season unless other teams will have a solution on the Pick and Roll of Giannis and Dame.

I really dont see so much value on that bet, is a very late bet, for only a 1.88 odd. SO much things can go wrong, and 55 games is a lot to win, if you see for example the top 1 in east (miami heat) won only 53 games on 21/22 season.
You can't compare the Heat though to the Bucks, Milwaukee has always been winning a lot of games in the regular season with Giannis. And now that they have added another offensive power in Dame, it's possible that they might get 55 game or more wins this season. Not just the number of wins though, I expect the they could like averaging 130 points per game.In today's era there's not much defense that's why last year we have seen teams really like winning 130's, 140's or even 150's scoring game. So I think it's doable by the Bucks and for those who are going to take that risk, then it might be worth it in the end, in my opinion.
Agreed, Miami wasn't built to win 55+ games in the regular season they had a nice playoff run. The Bucks the way they are constructed will get a ton of easy wins which shoukd push them over that mark. Not saying they would fare better in the playoffs just that they will demolish a lot of the younger teams out there.

With the teams in the east yeah I can't see a world where the Bucks don't hit 50 wins. Just too much talent not to. Might be some rust to start the season but once those 2 get rolling, they will most likely be favorites in every game. Just want the season to start gonna be a fun year.
For sure Damian Lillard will still need to make efforts to enhance his chemistry with the Milwaukee Bucks, but for sure Damian Lillard has chosen a great team and he can surely help the Milwaukee Bucks become a better team the Bucks can also help him get what he wants for sure 11 years in the Portland Trail Blazers and he still didn't get something I think it is now time for him to get what he deserves,
Ya, that’s the reason I was shocked with ESPN saying their number was 48.5. I think they easily hit that and wouldn’t be shocked if they won 60 games.
Looks like I’ll be getting my first look of the new Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. For some reason I got an ad on HBO (MAX) saying the game would be televised there. We’ll see…

For sure in the following game the Phoenix Sun VS Denver Nuggets they will not show their jack-of-all-trades game in the preseason they are mostly just playing this out and sure most teams are not serious in this game but it is a great shot in watching it because it will still be entertaining for sure,
The Warriors went and played a team in prison… Cool idea. Hats off to them for doing it. The best part… They lost.

Great job for the Golden State Warriors for giving a great game and those autographed T-shirts that they are giving for sure a great inspiration for the inmates that they can also change for the better, I think the Warriors are giving them motivation to really Change just like what the Warriors Was doing with the inmates

I haven't seen the odds of this over 48.5 wins. But if this is 1.80 or above then I am taking this risk.
Hey there, mate, I'm afraid you can't get those odds with over 48.5 wins because currently, it's higher than that. The odds are already out on sportsbet.io, so you can check it out for yourself.

Though even it's not 48.5 but 54.5 wins with Giannis and Dame still realistic to happen, if you love to spare money in risking into something
this kind of bet might attract you.
Early pick that will allow you to place your future bet, if things turn good for the Bucks. I mean, if Dame will support Giannis as the main alpha
of the team and put everything to his new team. The chance of winning that pick is very possible.

Ya, I think everyone is surprised by the prediction of ESPN, maybe they really underestimated the tandem of Giannis and Lillard to bring the team on the top of the Eastern Conference. I think Dame understand his role with the Bucks, Giannis is stil the alpha and the franchise player but Dame is going to support him in the offensive load and I think even if the Bucks losses Jrue, they got one of the most explosive offensive player in the NBA. And I do agree that 54.5 is a good starting line for the Bucks and win more than that and then capture the Eastern Conference top spot again. So good for those who are going to put a outright bet on that one for the Bucks as the line is very attractive and the chances are high for the Bucks to meet that.
Now that is the more challenging odds. And even at 54.5, it is still a favorite that the Bucks will hit that number. Hitting 60 wins might be hard but it is not out of the equation. Maybe ESPN just wanted a safer number but it is indeed too conservative.
The Bucks' main rival in the East would be Boston. It'll be like 50/50 although there might be other teams that will surprise us. The Miami Heat seem undercrewed most of the time but it is always a dark horse over the years. Young New York and Cleveland earned decent experiences last season and they are also coming this season stronger and with experience.
An update about the Coach's challenge just in case someone out there doesn't know about it. Just so you won't be shocked on these instances.

So if they win the first challenge and are rewarded with one more, the second challenge will consume a timeout, successful or unsuccessful.
That's more like it. There is still a risk factor at the second challenge especially if it's a crucial game where timeouts are important like last-minute close games. I have my doubts though, referees might try to force it as "unsuccessful" so that the next challenge won't be rewarded.
However, I want to see more about how the officials will call the flopping penalty. I've seen one during the Summer League but I want to see more in the season. They got used to just ignoring those flops, I hope they can implement the rule now and with consistency. Because the other rule about the offensive player creating contact intentionally is still happening which should've been an offensive foul.
Here is the rule about flopping and how it will be implemented.

Quote
The flopping penalty will be assessed by game officials when they perceive a physical act intended to cause a foul on another player. The offending player will be charged with a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul — which means it will not count toward an ejection — and the opposing team will be awarded one free throw. Any player in the game can be designated by his coach to shoot the free throw.
Referees can call the “flop” during live play or at the next neutral opportunity to assess the penalty. It is possible that a foul and a flopping violation could be called on the same play. The rule has been adopted on a one-year trial basis.

That's the human spirit there—they aren't afraid to play even in prison. Maybe that prison's being run well, and the people there are behaving themselves. After all, they're still humans, right? But you never really know what could happen, so this move is pretty risky yet admirable.
It is a sense of humanity. Hats off to the entire Team. I really, really respect things like that. Jail is risky but it's not a bad thing. There are many people who regret their actions while in prison and talking about the Warriors, this is truly a commendable thing. They are superstars, and I'm sure they will bring positive energy to the people in that prison.

I had never seen this one coming and I think they are the first to do this, giving hope to those people who once made life-changing mistakes on their lives is great, and giving them some hope that they can still be helpful and recognized as people who contribute positivity to their nation if they wanted to change their lives for good. Obviously, they were just casually playing against those inmates and didn't take their time to chase the score, which made them even greater because that was part of the plan to give inmates some hope and dreams.

Those guys in jail will pay a respect to the team who show some good deeds to them since its very rare occasion that a team on NBA would come to them and play for sure they will be overwhelmed with that events since they would provably think about that they still notice by these guys. Saw this clip online Golden State Warriors play basketball in prison
I also didn't imagine a high profile team would agree to play in high risk place but they are there happily playing with them and all of them is so happy with the result of the game. For prisoners who participated the game for sure they won't forget this experience since this event is so rare to happen and GSW is showing some humanity to these people and spread love thru the game of basketball.
This wouldn't have been possible if security wasn't guaranteed. These people are NBA players, so they're quite well-known. I must say, it's a commendable initiative by the Golden State Warriors. They're spreading some positivity in a place where people are often despised due to their crimes.
At the end of the day, we're all human, and everyone deserves a second chance and the opportunity to enjoy life, even while serving time. This experience is bound to be unforgettable for the people in jail.

And Klay said that he is on the San Quentin side here is really genius in his side. I mean he really give this individual at least some light and hope and maybe they could be motivated by seeing someone as big as Klay siding on them in a basketball game.
Yes, losing the game itself might be the biggest script for the Warriors here. So congrats to the brain behind this kind of games in a prison. We say that those people are dangerous, but in the game of basketball, they really feel like they are just a ordinary individual and not serving any sentence in a prison.

ESPN has said they are predicting the Milwaukee Bucks to win 48.5 games next year. What do people think about that?
That's an odd odd knowing that they've been like a favorite team this time with all the transfer that has happened. Personally, I think they win at least 50 games next year and maybe even 60. Lillard is a beast to have on your team alongside Giannis. While it may not be as good as the Curry/Giannis duo we all want to see, it is the next best thing.
Yeah, that's much a more favorable team if that duo happened and became a reality but the transfer of Lillard to Bucks cut all of those rumors and possibilities about Giannis' transfer.The Warriors went and played a team in prison… Cool idea. Hats off to them for doing it. The best part… They lost.
