I think we'll see Cam at some point.   Some really unexpected point and i also think he'll lock someone down and get a dunk.   might only play 2 minutes.

Judging rom what I've heard it seems the only way Cam plays is if Bogi can't dress or we suffer another injury to Solo or Snell.

I feel the Bucks ask Middleton to do things he isn't comfortable doing in that offense. They should be running him off of screens and trying to get him good looks, but they ask him to become a shot creator and he isn't really good at that IMO. 

Ya, this is a good point. Middleton is a good 3rd guy to have, it’s not taking away from the fact that he’s super solid but he doesn’t have a #2 type mentality.

He doesn't really have the skill set ie handles, passing ability or first step to be the guy you can throw the ball to and have him create offense one on one, but they ask him to do that a bunch.

Guess that's why they were going after bogi

he would have been a fantastic fit for sure, but I don't think that being a primary creator is the strength for Bogi either. I feel Bogi lacks that first step as well (though he does have good handles) so setting a little screen either via a PNR or a little curl to get him the ball in the elbow has been a great adjustment we have made to get him the ball in the spots where he dangerous by helping him get ahead of the defense, and the Bucks should do the same thing with Middleton, but they don't.

I hope Cam is telling them he wants to play, he's ready to play. Your demeanor, approach, body language, work habits, coaches pay attention to those things and I hope Cam is mindful of that. 

That clip they showed of him taking jumpers absolutely did not look ready to play.  As you and others noted, the form was inconsistent and sketchy on that jumper and he looked lackadaisical.  Did not feel the burning intensity you'd want to see in someone who is desperate to get back on the floor.

I'm going to be surprised if we see him.

Just as long as it's not a panic toss-in like Thibs did vs us with the French guy.

I would say though, I think he can play much better than he showed in game 1.

And, don't tell @NBASupes I'm saying he was right about this, but I think them missing Donte D is a big loss for them.

If he comes in I full expect his first shot up to be an airball.

Either that or it'll hit the backboard with the force of a hundred jet engines and will either ricochet directly into the basket or 16 rows into the upper deck.

No question, Donte is a big loss for them. They are playing PJ Tucker 35 minutes a game for Christ's sake.

Only way cam plays looks like if we're up by 20 in the 4th. 

Up 20 in the 4th, with less than three minutes remaining, with Holliday, Giannis, and Middleton on the bench...

[Dejay]

The only way I see Cam getting on the floor is if Bogdanovic is too injured to go, Snell is ineffective, and Hill goes Match Light-mode (i.e. the man he's defending suddenly gets hot)...

HIPPA - Its  up to the player to disclose details on the condition. Minor means not dying, doesn't mean he can go. Whatever it is, it is probably going to affect his career going forward. The vagueness is an obvious attempt to avoid legalities.

As you can see, its a wide swath being cut.

Thank you for the input.  I am well aware of different respiratory conditions as I diagnose them every day.  “Minor” in my world does not imply “not dying”, it implies “not a big deal”.  I agree that HIPPA is why they used that specific designation.  It is just funny to me that a “minor respiratory condition” that they have already confirmed is not COVID will have him out for the season and may “affect his career going forward”.

This is a series where we can play Snell and Hill. Milwaukee lacks athleticism outside of Giannis and Portis and Pat are boneheads.

Portia has those crazy  though.  He and Solo would be very interesting to watch in a blood sport battle royale.

If he does that Nate will leave him in for longer. He'll get the Okongwu treatment. If he impacts the game early, he'll keep him in. I think Nate has to try him at some point. The Hawks will need a plus perimeter defender to deal with Holiday and Middleton if he has his shot going.

Thinking a charge myself. Still he can make a Buck or three very uncomfortable tonight.

Any word on Trae's ankle, Bogi's knee or that ref's foot?
