KDubK414 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I don't understand why they have the Bucks at only 5 games over five hundred, and where they get these half games from. Like a tie will ever happen. Plus the rest of the division looks pretty lackluster according to their math lol. How do they only finish slightly above .500, when the rest of the division is below it? In other Bucks news, that flew under the radar even for me, is that Fiserv Financial has secured the naming rights for the about to open arena, it will be known as and called the Fiserv Forum. http://wisconsinesc.com/ I actually walked around the Forum for the first time this past Friday, and am so excited to get inside. It was a bittersweet moment for me as I spent 14 years of my professional life next door in the Bradley Center. The same way that I felt when Miller Park was about to open in the shadows of County Stadium. It will be an amazing venue, and I plan on seeing many games and events there.

It's from a sportsbook, so the projections are for betting purposes. The half games are so the team's actual win total will either be over or under to avoid a push.

The Bucks point differential hasn't been very good in the last four years. They've had a negative differential each of their last three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sixers 1st round pick Zhaire Smith suffered a "jones fracture" in his foot, because of course he did. It's the same thing that kept Ben Simmons out for a whole year (though they really sat him because they were tanking) and has kept others out for whole seasons.

A lot of children and their families are getting an opportunity they otherwise wouldn't if LeBron hadn't involved himself in a project like this. Stop trying to detract from a good thing.

It's more than that. The children who will go to his school are already at least one or more grade levels behind in reading. These are really those typically left behind (to be forgotten and not given opportunities to regroup) or those who are "socially promoted" at an early age just to get them out ASAP.

Noooooo, the initial reactions were that this was all LeBron. Even the article I posted had to make it clear that this was going to be run by the district and that the taxpayers would be flipping most of the bill. Does he deserve credit for this? Yes...absolutely. Does this happen without him? Absolutely not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
