Milwaukee Bucks opened up their 2017-2018 campaign at the BMO Harris Bradley Center with a wet fart. Indiana destroyed them with a 104-86 beatdown. Pacers took care of business against a Milwaukee team that frankly looked like they had better things to do on a Wednesday night. Some people are rushing to their keyboards to pull a freak out due to preseason blowouts, and I’m here to tell you that it’s something not worth your time.

I hate to use the Packers as an example, but they are the easiest in this situation. People have pulled the freak out with Green Bay for multiple preseason games where they have struggled throughout the game. And then, Green Bay ended up winning the first few games of the season. It’s not worth the time and energy to get wrapped up on how this Milwaukee team did on Wednesday. I get wanting to be mad about how they played but it should be only a quick burst of anger then move on to whatever is going on Thursday.

Let’s consider Milwaukee did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thon Maker or Matthew Dellavedova in this game. If Giannis is missing in action, the Bucks will not have many victories. That’s just a fact. If you want one takeaway, it might be that Milwaukee isn’t that deep of the team but even that is faulty at best. Jason Kidd wanted to check out a bunch of the guys fighting for a roster spot, so, the lineups weren’t exactly legitimate.

Let’s not freak out and get ready for the season.

Charlie.
