    Crap. Tough for Dame and Milwaukee.

    I respect the talent and accomplishments of LeBron and his activism. But still and always hate the Lakers.

    Sucks for Dame to tear his Achilles but once again he's shown he lacks patience coming back from injuries and pushes his timelines ahead ...just like the Olympics, he should have sat this series out. Hopefully he turns the negative into a positive but the Bucks are toast now. Maybe we'll see him with a clipboard on the Blazers bench in a suit now.

    Wait are you taking this opportunity to talk trash about Dame always trying to play?!? That's some bullshit. The dude just got injured and you want to make it about him making some kind of mistake because he's a true competitor. Fucking pathetic.

    Let me ask you this, are you someone who supports resting players? If not this about as hypocritical as anything gets but even if you do like players that take a more pampered approach to when they are willing to play, this response is still pure bullshit.

    Get better Dame.

    glenn rivers and their dumbass management letting him play so many intense playoff minutes without any ramp up in activity is fucking criminal.

    we know dame is stubborn, but it's your job to protect him against himself.

    I'm not trash talking anybody but you can vent all you want....I had a bad feeling about him playing in the Olympics and a bad feeling about him coming back for this series cold from blood clot watch...nothing hypocritical about having a gut feeling and the worst case scenario come true but you can stuff your personal attack on me where the sun don't shine...I'm a big Dame fan...I don't think he has managed his health well throughout his career....you think that's bashing? I'm not your topic here. What's hypocritical is bashing me over it. That's the response that's
    pure bullshit. Get better Dame. I'm someone who supports resting players who are injured and not in game shape from recovery, sure. Especially if they are soon to bee 35 years old. Sucks for Dame and the Bucks.

    Bucks don't need to worry about the Lillard injury because they have Playoff Kuz:

    If he tore his Achilles he might not come back. At least not at this level. It’s gonna be really hard.

    Fair enough. We can definitely agree that we're sending our best to Dame. It's got to be a tough time for him.

    It could be tough for Dame to come back and play at the same level but I wouldn't put it past him. The guy has made a career of doing more than people thought he could.

    Fuck man. Get better Dame. What a terrible month for him.

    That first step jab explosiveness into a step back 3 may be gone. He unfortunately will be easier to guard, i believe.

    Yeah if he comes back, which I think he will, I'd expect him to be a floor general setting up other players and a sniper when he's off the ball and that's about it. Who knows though, Dame thrives in adversity so maybe he'll surprise us all and come back as good as he's been the last couple of seasons.

    Edit: That contract did just become one of the worst in the league though. With that player option season after next for more than $58M. Sheesh! No bueno.

    Achilles is different. There’s only so much you can do.

    Like I said it would be a surprise for sure but I'm rooting for the guy.
