Yup. The big thing is people are missing this regarding their defense too. They are not extending out to 3 point shooters but they can change things schematically later on. It's not only about the players defensive talent, it's also about the sets and whether or not they are giving max defensive effort or saving that for playoffs.
National media won't cover it this way or let people on air with this opinion because they want to pretend these teams are all giving max effort during regular season. Reality is the top teams treat the regular season like the pre season cuz they are getting a top playoff seed regardless.
they may be top of their league, but pacers beat them three times only lost once to the buck can't sleep on pacers, they deserve some recognition this year.
It's nothing new to dame. Portland never gets props, thus lillard never got the props he deserved. All this does, in lillards mind, is light a fire. He thrives being underrated
Nothing different to how it's ever been 😂 Once the shine wore off with Giannis the league Oligarchy wanted something new. Bucks have and always will be a filler team....
@@GG-mz7ob litarly everybody was talking about the pacers and theyre historical offense a month ago also dont get me wrong i really enjoy watching hali doing magic but i dont see them gettin far in the playoffs
Man, it's so exciting seeing them be this good. I must have be uninformed when I initially heard Lillard was going to Milwaukee, because I honesty was disappointed. I respect Giannis a ton, but I wasn't sure how it would work with them together. They have certainly shown me. Makes you love basketball more.
Not really understanding how you couldn't have been excited, lol. Assuming you like the Bucks. Dame averaged 32 points per game last year... Youd have to expand on that, otherwise it sounds odd. The Bucks were favored to win it all as soon as they got Dame.
Playing as a team all season and improving ALL of your options vs just polishing your best ones opens up a whole new level of offense for a coach to have to mentally tear apart it makes a team unstoppable just like how the warriors use to play and that’s the identity that they are missing now but to see Dame get a ring finally would make my soul smile and he is more than deserving as a pure basketball fan
Their problem is that they allow the paint to be wide open. In these last five games alone it feels like the opponents have been doing layup lines on offense. Especially if the team has a all star caliber guard to expose the Lillard and Beasley backcourt defense. Blow by after blow by straight to the rim
Hey, bro I just watched your last 3 videos. We need more from you! more videos. I love the style and learning about were teams rank in the league in different aspects, etc.
It will slow down and their defense will step up. They dont need to run themselves into the ground every night. East playoffs are goingbto ve fun this year.
I think Bucks are gritty enough to win in the post season with their defense if needed. I think their offensive efficiency will be their best defensive weapon though. And once Jae comes back, we can have a different perimeter defender besides Steph reincarnated, so he can shoot more 3's lol.
Some might not know this but dame mainly git drafted specifically to Portland because of his pick and roll. At the time they had LA. Was rhe best pick and eoll coming out of college. If giannis develop his middy more like he has been doing. Sheesh.
Is it possible they play Giannis-Dame pick'n'roll only in practice and will start implementing it to their game in the last 20 games of the season too catch the rest of the league off guard? I've just watched a video breaking down LeBron's game and much of it is based on anticipation stemming from him watching games and knowing how the opponents play.
Biggest surprise is for sure how little they use the Dame and Giannis PnR. We all thought they'd abuse the hell out of it until they needed to adjust. But I guess coach AG is keeping us all guessing.
Bucks dont even try to def at some possessions. Dame brought another dimension to the Buck's offense but he was ,is , nd forever will be a black hole in defense. You cant win playoff contender teams without defense. We saw that so many times with so many teams. The perimeter defense of bucks was not the best during the previous years, but was decent and the rim protection was one of the best. I cant see a way for them to improve their def drastically...
They might go nuts in the regular season but if they meet someone that can play defense, mainly Boston right now based on the averages of the league, they're screwed. Not saying they can't figure it out but......defense does win championships
It's Game 6 at Milwaukee. Celtics are up 3-2. Dame is getting shut down by Jrue, who doesn't have to spend energy on offense because Porzingis, Tatum, and White are grooving. Giannis has 40 points and he's gassed. Celtics are scoring at will. What happens next?
If bucks let dame control the ball more than Giannis its game over, I know Giannis is a better offensive player but dame is the pg they have to give it to him, he is not just Jrue his fucking Dame.
Very entertaining. Now, here’s my take, from Greece, having watched all games of the bucks since they got Giannis, or… Yiannis. So, … up to last year, the bucks were usually a great happy shooting regular season team, but soft and mentally weak during the playoffs. Now, yes, they managed the unthinkable. They became softer than soft, almost softest ever. Dame can’t d, can’t shoot, Middleton unfortunately looks like a pensioner, and Lopez can’t be a consistent pillar. The others don’t count. To sum it up, it seems that not only the holiday trade isn’t working, but new coach is not the right leader for a mature team. Sorry to say this, but…it’s the raw, harsh , unpopular truth. Ah, last: allll these years, I was waiting fir Yiannis to develop smthn like a hook, and to find a paternal figure that will help him with his game flaws. Nope.
Games are too close for dame to dame time or Giannis to go off to win every time they should be comfortably win against most teams and obviously have the closer contested games against the best teams aka trade for AC
Wait until the Playoffs start. Dame and his poor defense will be targeted. Matchups are a huge part of the playoffs and I watched Portland the entire Dame era. It isn't even as much of a skill problem as it is him just standing effortless while players drive right by. You will see!
I know pacers underrated team get ignore because how small their franchise compared to other franchise in the league. But that what make pacers fun to watch because they are underdogs in NBA.
Bucks are next level, and have lost only single-digit games, tell me another team that has lost single digits in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference?
What you explained that I haven't seen with my eyes?! They're doing nothing special...it's more so about what's best for the team as they're continuously figuring things out. Dame is playing more off-ball because you have Giannis and Middleton that also handles the ball. You want Middleton to utilize his playmaking, which includes his ball handling off-ball pick-n-rolls.
"Steph Curry reincarnated: Malik Beasley" I swear to god players forget how to shoot when they go to the Lakers. Beasley was absolutely useless from 3 last year
How is this surprising? A Star player who couldn't get the job done joins a contender already built to win and the team does great. Big deal. What does this remind me of? Hmm, oh yeah, that's right, can anyone say Golden State and Kevin Durrant. Stacking an already stacked deck, and expecting a pat on the back for doing what you're supposed to. That's just sad. With the talent on that squad if they don't win it all then this season was a complete failure.
gotta point out too tho that - defensive minded to offensive minded, not only different point - but different backcourt, different system, different coach.. are they really a stacked deck tho? i do agree they need to get the chip because the ceiling is high, just gotta reach it.
December record: Vs a bunch of losers And you wonder why few are praising their success Go back and tell me that Milwaukee's December was a good test for the Playoffs (DET, HOU, SAS, CHI)
Lillard is a ball hog. Holiday would never let his selfish need to be a hero dictate a game like what happened with Lillard last night. When the Bucks started to loose momentum at the end of the 3rd 1/4 Lillard passed up a lot of opportunities to engage his teem mates, hoisting up tough shots and missing many wide opening looks to the tune of like 15% accuracy! That would never happen with Jrue, and now he's a Celtic. And no, I didn't like to trade from the get go.
Bro, if it wasn't Holiday, they would have gotten swept. Their defense was already on a big dip last year and it was all Holiday that was keeping it still intact by covering the mistakes of all the other guards and wings on top of doing his job individually.. Now their defense is straight up terrible and all the guards across the league are completely cooking them. I predict Bucks already reaching their ceilling currently. Giannis is already forced to play much harder and do almost everything for them and it's a damn regular season and not playoffs. You are supposed to start playing hard and bring all your weapons during playoffs time, not now. Actual contenders like Celtics and Nuggets (probably even Heat) are cruising right now and not playing their hardest, they leave it for the teams like last years Kings or this season's Pacers, Timberwolves, OKC, 76ers, Knicks. Unless Bucks will cover their big ass flaws they will stay as a part of this big groups of teams that are decent regular season teams but not a real contenders. Contenders can turn the next gear but this Bucks team can't unless they make roster change and some big adjustments.
Losing to mid teams? This team is no a championship contender , they got a clown hc that cant coach and booby portis with pat counaughton . Recipe for desaster , celtics will own them
The Bucks have to let go of Pat idk what benefits he provides for the team. He can’t shoot nor defend, worst thing is he gets minutes solely because of his experience nothing more. He just be roaming around on the court.
@@whitewalker3292 bro doesn’t even work on his game during the offseason literally out there just riding on the back of others. No coincidence the team didn’t miss a beat when he was out with an injury. Dogshit fr!

@@TitusMIx9520 he’s out of rhythm. Theres long stretches of games like in the third and fourth quarters where Bobby or Pat or cam Payne or Brook are more involved than Dame and Dame’s in the corner.
But that's just Lillard and Bucks knew what they were getting. He has been like that all of his career and he now won't randomly completely change his game in his 30s. He is simply scorer, combo guard, undesized shooting guard that doesn't offer much other than on ball scoring. He is not a playmaker, and not a very good off ball player. Getting rid of Holiday was a mistake and if they wanted Lillard that bad it would have made much more sense to pair him with Holiday and not Middleton.
@@lunacy5510 Damian Lillard averaging 25 points and 7 assists. If you turn that into 21 points 9 assists that completely changes the game for Middleton. Lillard is capable of this
