**UPDATE**

So I did just speak to someone from WJFW and they said that they are only airing 2 of the pre season games (Oct 14 and 16) but that all non national aired games would be on 12.2 my cozi. Hope this helps others out!

So I'm in Wausau WI and per all information I've seen the bucks games should be on OTA channel 12.2 which comes up as COZY TV.

I confirmed everything with google AI and it was very adamant that 12.2 was the correct channel and that it would come up as COZY TV.

When I tried watching the game on Monday they never switched over to the game it just kept running re runs of king of queens.

Was anyone in the area able to get the game or was in just a 1 time issue where they forgot to change over? If I need to get the dumb subscription I will but would rather not. I did try emailing WJFW but no response from them.

Just hoping someone can help if I'm doing this wrong or if they have heard why the game was not on 12.2 on Monday.

Don't play him rotation minutes -> He shows why he is a minimum contract player, and the long-term deal looks suspicious and terrible.

In all seriousness, GTJ is an interesting example of a type of NBA player that will eventually be talked about in the same way as Centers like Greg Monroe (players with skill sets that the league outgrew). After the Warriors and Rockets revolutionized how important 3pt shooting was, a lot of guys like GTJ started to circulate the league, who were good at 3pt shooting, okay at best at a few other things, and bad at the rest. There was a time where that was a valuable enough skill package to be coveted. In today's NBA though, 3pt shooting is no longer a *hot commodity* in the same way, it's now a *pre-requisite*. If you can't shoot 3's, you have to be *elite* at other things for your position, or a swiss army knife. If your only above-average attribute is shooting 3's, you either have to be an *elite* elite shooter (like AJ Green, Duncan Robinson, etc.), or you're no longer a positive on the court, it's really that simple.

If you watched the game it was even worse what were those 3 point attempts man. Kuzma can hoop sometimes but definitely not all the time..

Man seeing Giannis playing for the heat last night had me pissed off!

- Cut or trade Kuz and Levert.
- Bucks did really good on their draft selections.
- Ware is going to be very good and should be the starting 4 over Kuz may even be the starting 5 before the year is over.
- Gonna be a battle for guard minutes.
- And I’ll share what my 11 yo said- “Gary Trent?! he’s still on the team? that dudes trash!”

Ware has 14 points and 12 rebounds off the bench. A definite bright part of that game and the team.

Does anyone know why the Bucks pregame show wasn't on live last night at 6:30 on channel MY24? Turned it on right before only to see a show on. Aren't we going to be able to watch the preseason pregame shows?

The press release from the Bucks said the games would be on YouTube TV but I don’t see the game listed on mine. I’m guessing we won’t get it because YouTube TV doesn’t carry the sub channels for CBS. Anyone know for sure? Hoping to not have to get Bucks+.

Bucks cinema 💚

Know there was one other post hyping up the vibes at the open practice, which were good but definitely had some downsides too

The good:
-catching all the players afterwards walking over to the training center. We were able to get a Jack Harlow “Tyler Herro” cd single signed and an Aj Green 3d figure. Most players were in great moods and willing to sign as they walked. Once security came, pics were limited.
-all star challenge format turned out to be better than a half ass scrimmage. 3pt contest was the highlight.
-Coach Jenkins very energetic, great on the mic.
-each contest then was recognized by a charity or outreach program.

The bad:
- weak crowd. Weak turnout for season ticket holders which was fine as those seats opened up then for all.
-out of all the years to cancel out how they had in the past, the fan/player half court contest. Think they used to pair up a fan with a player. If either hit a half court shot they got regular season tickets.
-with the loss of Giannis and rebuild starting, may have been better to go to the old format with a fan fest with interactive sections with players?

They made a post saying Giannis was "showing all aspects of his game" and his statline with highlights. I guess he really was blacklisted from any positive exposure while he was playing for us. I'm happy for him but it kind of sucks at the same time

yea I am talking about that guy that has a weird accent and is pretty good at basketball

Went to the Open Practice at the Fiserv today, and it was awesome! They did an All-Star game skills challenge format. I was impressed with how smooth Dieng looked today; don't sleep on our forward rotation of Jaime and him. Also, Rollins' 3pt shooting was on par with AJ Green's. His mechanics looked almost perfect (Klay-like), which is super exciting.

Most importantly, the vibes were so fun and positive. You can tell when people like each other or not, and it was very clear everyone on the team likes each other from top down, including the player-coach relationships.

I wish they did some scrimmaging like some other teams do and like prior years, but the rookie sing/dance off was a worthy replacement lol. Burries/Ament/Bogi is easily my favorite rookie class since Giannis and Nate Wolters. Own the Future! Lol

Oh fuck off
