Bucks players out partying at strip club hours before 18-point loss to Lakers Tuesday

[charcoalbbq]

Finding it peculiar that the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the woeful Los Angles Lakers just days after becoming the first team in the league to defeat the Golden State Warriors?

Well, maybe this has something to do with it.

According to a report from TMZ Sports, several players from the Bucks were out partying at the Ace of Diamonds strip club until 2 AM Tuesday morning - just 16 hours before they squared off and lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Named were O.J. Mayo, Khris Middelton, Miles Plumlee and Greg Monroe, who had been a late scratch against the Lakers after reportedly suffering a knee injury that he sustained during practice earlier in the day.

The Bucks were 3.5-point road favorites for Tuesday's meeting with the Lakers and ended up losing 113-95. The 18 point margin of victory was easily the Lakers' highest of the season.

"Just 16 hours".... NUGGA that is a whole fukkin day.
Non story.

This shit happens constantly. These are mostly kids in their early 20s that are in the NBA. They're partying, holy fukkin shit. What the hell were you doing in your early 20s....

[SharpAngles]

Not the first time the Ace of Diamonds has ruined someone's next day at work and def won't be the last.

Even if partying happens a lot during the long regular NBA season, it would still be very significant information for the upcoming game. Any kind of letdown scenario has value.

He wasn't a Pro Athlete that's for damn sure,these aren't regular kids.

Kids will be kids. Can't take their lives away from them because they're better than the average human at a sport.

[tony_come]

Did they release?

Then go to College and do that crap,as far as I see it,your getting paid to do a job.

[jjgold]

Average they have 8 kids each by 35 is like -290

What does it matter if they party til 2 am... The game wasn't until 930 the next day?

I get paid to do a job too, but that doesn't mean I don't drink on work nights ever. And I have to be up at 630am... Those guys probably slept in their hotel until 10am, ate a nice ass breakfast and were fine.

This is a non story.

[Snowball]

I would immediately fire the coach and blow it up.
Got to make a statement.
This is intolerable.
These MEN are being paid MILLIONS of dollars to WIN
Not get drunk at a strip club to 2 am then lose by 16.
These aren't college kids they are supposed to be professionals.

[packerd_00]

Average they have 8 kids each by 35 is like -290

And broke at 40.

[Snowball]

dam if the line at Clippers wasn't -10.5 vs the Sucks
I would be pounding it tonight.

[Blazermaniac]

Goddamit....i need these info before hand. Not after the game.

[jtoler]

TMZ reports about any and everything no matter how small. This is only known because TMZ prob based in l.a. and only written about because itsthe basement Lakers. Think other players on teams don't go out to clubs with games the next day?

[SBRMAN23]

Only thing I find puzzling was miles plumlee was on the lsit of players lmao

[Nickdogmoneycash]

forreal lol

[NardVa]

Going on the road and partying and drinking late into the night could make a lot of players lazy. The game was 16 hours later but I'm guessing everybody doesn't recover as quick.

[shooterman]

This is aging me a bit but back in the day when Tommy Heinsohn was a Celtic player, he and the rest of the team were getting absolutely trashed in some bar that a friend of mine witnessed. They closed the bar and had a game coming up at noon or 1pm. Seeing how much alcohol had been consumed, my friend made the biggest bet of his life against the Celtics that day. Of course Tommy and the rest of the cement head Celtics rolled to a 25 or 30 point win.

Hammer gets it

[packerd_00]

Not really I just wasn't going to go back and forth with the guy.

[Booya711]

so you havent gone to a bar/club at night when you had to work the next day?

[R.P. McMurphy]

Eh non story and just typical night for pro athletes. Now if this gm were played at noon on Sunday in Waukee and they were out celebrating the biggest win this franchise will ever see till 2/3 in morning. Then yeah I would love to have that info and bet accordingly. This is the Bucks though seriously they have like 2 road wins all season. And have no business laying 4 to anyone on road even putrid Lakers. C'Mon man lol

[packerd_00]

Ofcourse but im a full grown man,and I dont get pissed drunk. Also if I went in drunk and got fired,cant exactly blame anybody but myself.

exactly...this happens nightly with all teams...it was only a story since they lost by so much to team not even worthy of NBA status

[Booya711]

I totally agree with going in to work drunk...but pretty sure these guys had sobered up, if they were even drinking, by gametime that next night

[Ghenghis Kahn]

We need this info the day of the game not after.

[terrortwylight]

Going to strip club is not the same thing as getting plowed. A lot of em don't even serve booze.

[trobin31]

You have to figure if they were seen at club until 2am, another hour to round up the strippers/hookers for afterparty. After party finishes by 4, maybe 5am. Another 15-20mins to bang said stripper (s), puts it around 530-6am before getting to sleep for 3 hours before the morning shootaround. Add to this the few hour time difference from wisconsin to LA, so really puts these guys in a perfect set up for fatigue and half ass play. I'd say thats highly relevant to the outcome of the game.

[Goat Milk]

Bucs won't win too many games without Monroe starting simple as that.

[Vegas39]

Agree big difference in having to be into work at 8am and having a late west coast game

Maybe if this was there first time doing it im pretty sure its not and its done more often than we knw. I think they can handle it once again lots of reg guys do this shyt and wake up in a few hrs for work. They have top notch treatment gatorades and shyt to rehydrate. Im still baffled and Miles Plumlee I need to talk to Mason see if this is something that runs in the family lmao

[jjgold]

And broke at 40.

of course

that is a given
