mgdmhl Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Giannis wearing the old jersey at that horrible missed opportunity called the NBA Africa Game. Not to pile on, but new unis aren't available to purchase until November. Monroe and Middleton didn't even have the new jerseys at their press conference. Is this typical?All the players were wearing jerseys from last season, not just Giannis, including the Sixers and Raptors.It's pretty common with teams going through re-brands or getting new uniforms that they don't always have them ready for new/resigned player press conferences.

KDubK414 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Not aesthetic related! But, the Bucks are upgrading the TV booth bringing in Gus Johnson in for 20 games this year. Kind of a passing the torch moment from Jim Paschke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDubK414 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Kind of a "new ownership from out of town is firing a local guy because they think they're big-time now."Not exactly. Jim Pacshke was and is a major part of the decision. Gus and Marquse Johnson are going to call 20 games this year. Jim is still a full time employee with the Bucks as well as he is the director of TV operations for the team. He coordinates the travel and logistics for the crews that come in off the road.

DarkManX Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Kind of a "new ownership from out of town is firing a local guy because they think they're big-time now."Pretty far off base. First off, Sid was doing the games Johnny Mac was not. John has been behind the mic for 40 years now and the past several years he has done fewer and fewer games each year. He mostly does home games with the rare road game. Second off, Sid was TERRIBLE as a color announcer. The majority of Bucks fans would agree and having him get gone is a blessing. I think this is John riding off into the sunset.The last part of all this is they fired Sid, a well respected Buck from the 80's to hire Marques... an equally (if not more) respected Buck from the 80's (who's much better at his job and has had experience with Fox Sports calling college games). The big town guys fired the small town guy who was terrible at his job and hired another small town guy to fill his spot.Sydney Moncrief out at color analyst. Replaced by Marquse Johnson (55 games) and Jon McGlocklin (about 25 games). Jim Pacshke the current play-by-play guy OKed the move to hire Gus and Marquse.This is kind of true. Like I noted above, John has been doing games forever, just far less. Marques fills Sid's spot. Then Gus will take 20 games from Jim Paschke. The Bucks have 78 games on Fox Sports this year.Play-by-playJim Paschke - 58 gamesGus Johnson - 20 gamesColorJohnny Mac - 25 games (probably more like 23)Marques Johnson - 55My read on this is that they are giving Paschke another year (or so) as well to ride off into the sunset. Gus is on somewhat of a trial and I'm guessing we're going to try and make him our full time guy after next year. In Gus' interviews since the hire he's made some comments about finding a place to stick and maybe that's with the Bucks. Then, after next year... or the year after... I could see our announce team being Johnson and Johnson full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting those! I listened to all of them when they happened. Sounds like everyone is on the same page and are just overall excited about the Bucks and the fans. And the fans are excited too! This is all kinda surreal when I think about it! The Bucks are literally turning into the team people want to be around!

KDubK414 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah, only 4! But that is pretty......Awesome!!!! It's a first in the NBA and maybe in basketball! It's been done in football and hockey, easier to repaint and resurface those than to repaint and lacquer a court, so this is going to be a different court all together. These things aren't cheap either, so this will probably be the court that moves into the new building or become the back up one. The Bucks are showing when you go all out, you go all out! I'm very impressed by what they are doing here in Milwaukee!!! #OwnTheFuture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
