- The Milwaukee Bucks have been perplexing. They're still near the top of the East, but it seems like their identity has changed drastically compared to the previous years. What happened?

Yall It was not just Jrue Holiday’s absence which is why our defense isnt the same. Its Jrue, Wesley Mathews, and Jevon Carter all 3 of them were defense studs im tired of people saying its just jrue!
They shouldn’t have gotten rid of their coach . His adjustments were trash but that system worked for them. Switching your pg and your coach in one offseason is going to change SO MUCH
Nah jrue was very important they never had to worry about guards and even forwards now they force to shoot a lot shots just to win Middleton should’ve been traded he not the same nomore they could’ve signed reddish he’s exactly what Middleton was but way younger
@@Babysnapps60 I never said Jrue wasn’t important .
@@The2KGOAT yeah that’s true I’m just saying jrue leaving definitely did damage the coach too
True makes no sense when trying win title
@@Babysnapps60 for sure he’s one of the best defenders in the whole league but I think they can still build a good defense around dame. The warriors for years have built decent to really good defenses around steph curry and both him
And dame are average to below average defenders. They have really good defensive pieces they just need to alter the system defensively and it’s hard to do that when you switch your coach and he brings his own defensive philosophies
To this day I really still think Milwaukee would have gone back to back if Middleton was heathy against the Celtics in the 2022 playoffs.
can't talk anout ifs, causr then gsw wins 2019, does not win 2015, bucks do not win in 2021 if kawhi bron ad steph don't get hurt like what r we doing here
and if Giannis didn't mean mug Horford in crucial Gm4.
i was mad that time like, _"DAMN, Giannis!"_
100%. They were up 3-2 on Boston that series, then there was a mass shooting outside the stadium after game 6 and it kinda ruined the bucks vibe for game 7
Even before the injury Middleton wasn’t that good especially in the series against Chicago
@@nicco6020bucks probably beat the lakers and warriors. Healthy Clippers might have been able to take them though
they need to go all in for alex caruso at the deadline
I’d trade Beauchamp, Connaughton and Robin Lopez for him.
@@roberthenry7922if bulls take that they just might have Down syndrome
As a bulls fan, please no lmfao
Is it bulll blowing up anyway, why waste alex career when he win champ with buck
@@maximillianschauer1439as a mavericks fan, the bulls ain’t gone be competing for another 5 years. Why waste Caruso and let him rot there ?
The problem is that a former bench player is an assistant coach cosplaying as a head coach lol
1. Many of the Bucks pieces (aka Brook Lopez) are older
2. The Bucks really do miss Jrue’s perimeter defense
When I heard that Jrue Holiday got traded, I said to myself: "Giannis put too much pressure on the Bucks front office."
But Jrue could only get you so far. His defense is honestly overrated and he’s a career 36-38% shooter in the playoffs.
@@ry_an.it’s not overrated just not as lockdown sometimes u can get some buckets but what he did to dame when he was in New Orleans was great what he did in the championship run was great he has defensive leadership and play that is rare from the guard spot but u are right about the offense being hit or miss and that’s where the struggle is
@@LightStreak567 If they thought Khris Middleton would get healthy, maybe they should have given it one more year.
@@loodakris5928 As I recall from the Finals highlights, Bud was never laying out plays and strategies, he just kept telling everyone to "keep working".
Bringing in an offensively gifted talent like Dame was going to help the bucks tremendously on offense but losing Jrue meant the Bucks defense was going to take a major step back. Especially their perimeter defense. It was a trade that came at a cost for sure.
Not to mention a new coach, coaching staff, & philosophy!! It not the same team from that '21 season & this is a new era........IMO🤔!!
I think by the end of the season, the offense gained will outweight the defense lost. Because although the Bucks had a great defense, they struggled to score outside of the greatness of Giannis and Khris Middleton shot making ability. That's why the Bucks got bounced last year in the 1st rnd. With Khris hurt and Giannis hurt, Jrue Holdiay couldn't score to save his life. Now with Dame and Malik Beasley they have 2 great options outside of Giannis and Khris
Beasley looks completely lost when he's defending someone at the top of the key so I don't think it's just because they moved Jrue to make space for Dame. They aren't going to be the #1 seed but if they figure something out on defense they have a real chance at winning a title.
yeah all the faults cant be placed on dame. the only players that can play defense there is giannis, and lopez. the rest of em kinda mid or trash like dame. but dame cant be blamed because it's not because of dame only the perimeter is so bad.
Everyone does know they are 1 game out of first place right
Some bucks fans are wondering why did the go for Adrian griffin and not Nick Nurse
That's the question. I wish the Lakers considered firing Ham to try and get him here.
Nope
Or Kenny Atkinson
Nick nurse chooses where he wants to go. Embiid is a lot more flexible scheme wise compared to Giannis. I called this shit ages ago.
Nick Nurse might have moved the Bucks ahead of the Celtics. Kenny Atkinson is underrated as a coach
As much as I miss him as a defensive asset and respect him as a person, dame is a sizable upgrade from jrue and jrue is not having a great season in Boston
U did see 👀 the results of having Holiday(🏆), but we're still waiting to see the results of having Dame tho' 🤔!! New coach, staff & philosophy & NTM it's probably only 3 or 4 players from that championship run!!
@@theALMIGHTY987 last year when they had the best reg season record, but got smoked by heat in first round, it felt horrifying. The year they won it all, pundits constantly knocked them and quite frankly it wasn't a great reg season as they were so up and down. So if they manage to keep it somewhat solid this year, say, win 6 out of every 8 games, that should be good enough for the second seed, and hopefully by the end of the season they'll be ready for battle.
@@adamseidel8901 It felt like they lost their way when Giannis went down & it wasn't next man up!! This team has a long road, between the new coaches philosophy & a cohesiveness on both ends of the floor........ just saying 🤔!!
Truth man.
Jrue is slow at offense. It was not a problem with the Bucks because they played with two or three bigs at times. But with a smaller and faster team like the Celtics it's a huge problem because he stalls the offense.
As the great Charles Barkley would say, "Playing zone means I suck at defense." Kidding aside, it's hard to have the defensive intensity that the Bucks were known for if you replace a hard-nosed defender like Jrue and if Khris is out, that puts guys in positions they're not accustomed to.
So you're not contributing any of that to the former coach, his staff & philosophy 🤔?? It's probably only 3 or 4 players from that championship run in '21......just saying!!
This Bucks team reminds me so much of the post Larry Brown Pistons. Flip Saunders turned them into a top 5ish offense after being a defensive minded team for so long, yet they never were able to win another championship this way.
Nailed if and when they traded Ben Wallace in 2006, I knew was gonna be a drop off
No one ever mentions that Jevon Carter also left. And he was acting like almost as much of a bulldog on the perimeter as Jrue.
You are my People! Jevon Carter was a great piece for the Bucks, not to mention DiVincenzo and PJ Tucker. Continuity shot to pieces. The firing of Coach Bud was bad timing and bad mojo. Expected more from Jae Crowder. Rookie coach Adrian Griffin was going to have a hard time even before all the conflicts.
On the plus side Lillard is a much better passer than expected, Beasley's offense is impressive, and AJ Green is impressive.
Playing Zone with weak perimeter defense but with good rim protector (Lopez and Giannis) and good help defender (Giannis) seems reasonable in theory. However, when it doesn't work empirically (in experimental trial and error), the empiricism should take priority over theory. One should change his theory about reality... instead of fixating on that the theory must be correct and keep running into walls in real life.
Theory should be considered over empiricism until there is a reasonable sample size
@@nby333
> "Theory should be considered over empiricism until there is a reasonable sample size"
This doesn't necessarily contradict what I said about "when it doesn't work empirically, the empiricism should take priority over theory."
However, the sample size requirement to overcome most theory, is pretty small because our theory about basketball is very oversimplified and uncertain. Bucks having bottom tier defense in 20 games, is way enough to say they better try to do other defensive scheme over zoon, regardless how good zoon feels in theory.
For complex systems like basketball, economy, human behaviors, the theories that we have are very uncertain and context-dependent. Theory like what kind of defense is good for what kind of team, can easily become invalid if for instance a new pick-and-roll variant is invented (like pick-and-pop from big man who now can shoot 3s), or if offensive style of the league is changing.
If a theory (which is uncertain and context-dependent in the first place) didn't seem to work well in 20 games, one should take the empirical result over theory of what seems good on paper.
there's a reason why beasley sat in the playoffs in the lakers run last May.. if his shot ain't falling he's just gonna be a liability on defense
I think this can be a easy fix if they can pull of a trade for Alex Caruso, He could solidify the perimeter defense in a similar role to Jrue and if he is at least half as effective it would make them elite on both ends of the floor again
Caruso would be a great trade for the Bucks, he will bring his defensive identity back to that team
You can't have Caruso! The Bulls' need him!
@@axucarosoI Bulls need a PG too
@@Bigedub101Most definitely! I wish the Bulls had gotten a decent PG when Ball first got hurt. The GM wasted two drafts, two summers and two trade deadlines. CP3 would have been perfect. Trading Caruso for a PG when Coby White is not the answer. Either LaVine or PWill should be swapped for a long term starter at the point to buy Bulls time and space for Lonzo to get right.
Adrian Griffin's coaching style will pay dividends in the playoffs when teams gameplan against them. right now they are still figuring out who they are as a "Team" and because they are soo damn talented they happen to be 2nd in the east. Ill just remind everyone that the Heat team with lebron d wade and bosh went 9-8 to start the season before finishing the season 58-24. it takes time when there is a lot of new people on the roster as well as a new coach and coaching style.
the 2011 heat didnt have an obvious weakness like defense and they also had a good coach to make adjustments when it mattered
I get your comparison but it’s no way this bucks team is going to the finals
They brought dame thinking it would be easier on Gianis but the offense looks the same or worse
And the defense is 50x worse
If they play Boston they will get swept and dame will be in prison getting guarded by holiday and white
Bucks need to admit it! Bud should not been fired. This guy they have is an assistant at best!
Did you see the adjustments Bud made last playoffs? Neither did I cuz he didn’t make any. Also failed to use timeouts and looked completely disengaged
@@ConnorBrew19 I mean when his brother died before game 4 I'd prolly be pre disengaged too tbh, people will never give Bud respect but he helped build Milwaukee into contendors in the first place
Watching the bucks push the Heat’s half court offense so far outside the 3pt line use to be so frustrating. Even if we could get good looks it would end up being so late in the shot clock.
You touch upon very nicely the beasly over usage. This was
corellated to the injury of both KM and Crawder. The originally planned staring 5 were Brook Giannis KM Crawder and Dame. This has much more length and size solving partially the contest and rebound problems. Will also be better in zone.
They'll be fine.... Crowder is a key missing piece to their core rotation and in 2-4 weeks Middleton will be playing 30+minutes averaging 18-5-5 playing better d, and who knows what trades they could make... Look for them to go for Alex Caruso
it's more the lack of defensive skill and iq from our starting guards, our coaches, yada yada then a matter that can be fixed with one player coming back.
these guys can't even guard simple 2 man actions without finding a way to lose of them. They're always losing someone on defense, it's not that they're not capable defenders they need to up their defensive IQ. A lot of solid players on the team fr it would be a real shame to have to try and wait until Crowder comes back to save this team's sh*tty defense.
They just need time to figure things out and figure their roles!! That’s all there is!! Also get bench guys too!!
We have a good bench already. The problem is perimeter defense
And how exactly will Malik Beasley and Dane figure out how to play defense at a high level ? They can’t
Go look at Dame numbers vs drue holiday they are terrible
If they see Boston they will get swept 🧹
If they see the heat (fully healthy) they will get beat 4-1
And they can prob get beat by other East teams as well
Bucks struggled in playoffs with their lack of offense. The year they won, jrue and Middleton played the best basketball of their careers. They weren’t able to maintain that level of play following that ring. Keeping jrue wasn’t getting them back to the finals and dame still hasn’t even fully found his role on the team. I think bucks will be in the finals this year
Bucks perimeter defense is like a Swiss cheese
After Terry Left i knew something was wrong
I still think the Dame move was one they had to make. Jrue’s defense wasn’t there against Jimmy, and if their offense is also going to suck or be middling might as well go with Dame’s clutch ability. I think they could have stuck with Jrue and their depth if Middleton was more healthy and consistent. If he was still productive as he was during their championship run, they still need him but relying on him to be #2 wasn’t going to help them win again.
New coach and new point guard are definitely huge adjustments but I also think they also suffer from not having 6 great guys unlike Boston. Portis wasn’t going to start alongside Brook and Giannis. Malik should really be a role player. If you compare him to Derrick White the Bucks are lacking. Their top 6 compared to Boston doesn’t look as good. I just wanted to add that but new point guard and coach plus system are definitely bigger factors as to why the bucks look shaky.
They need someone like Derick White or Caruso
great vid as always mate
Thats exactly what I been saying. They changed their identity. They needed to upgrade in scoring, trading Khris probably wasnt an option as they would not get back enough for sure, but Jrue? I get it because it is Dame but they were a defensive team always and they won that way. They felt like they need to do something to please Giannis and this just might do the trick, but it will be hard. I dont see them getting past Boston. Dame will have very very tough job against Jrue/White/Brown.
Jrue shoot us out of multiple games and gets cooked by athlethic wings. Watching Khris now being a shell of his former self, the team woud have needed more offensive input from Jrue and he sucks in the playoffs. Dame instantly got us in the game when no one was making a shot and Giannis was getting tired of attacking the paint and those games where the ones when Khris was the closer, but he ain't the same no more so Dame is 100% more valuable than Jrue in this scenario. It sucks that he ended in Boston looking at the team now, Dame solves a lot of the Bucks problems
Yeah the def should have kept jrue holiday if the backcourt was dame and holiday the bucks would be the best team in the East but instead they treaded holiday to their rival the Celtics
This bucks team is atrocious and Damien lillard is extremely overrated
Him and Malik Beasley are terrible defenders and the problem can only be fixed with some trades
This roster will Be lucky to get out the first or second round they can’t even beat the hawks
Honestly if I’m the Bucks, I fire Griffin and rehire coach Bud. He knew exactly how to utilize Giannis and the D.
I'd seriously be happy with that. To his defense, Bud at least had this team run like a well oiled machine in the regular season.
They're missing CRowder, probably their best 3 and D guy and still have a lot of gelling to do on offense. they'll be fine
Crowder is old and his production is not enough to make them a contender
They shouldve kept Mike Bud as their coach and hired an assistant offensive coach.
That defensive bucks team got swept last year
after the offense collapsed in the end of course. Which has shown improvement this season. There are gonna be games and teams that will score heavy on you from time to time regardless of solid d. Our team at the moment can't go a game without completely relying on offense because the defense is just Brook. Giannis. go cover everywhere
The Bucks bench could use some tweaks too. If they could trade for 1 or 2 energetic DEFENDERS that could easily solve everything
I think they need to focus on running teams off the three point line. Even if they give up A lot of midrange shots they can get 3 shots back in 2.
They should not have fired Mike Budenholzer and the guy Giannis chose to replace him just got out on blast by Bobby Portis and even Giannis took a shot at him by blaming the bench for the loss to the Pacers. yeah if you blame the bench for not getting it done then it’s the coach who is supposed to make the changes . Trouble is a coming
As a bucks fan I am not worried we are playing well and our still adjusting by game 40ish then we can have a convo.
Yes sir. Bucks just gotta keep grinding hard.
So u think this current roster can beat the Celtics ??
What positives do u see exactly ?
Because we brought dame here for scoring and now that he’s in the spotlight it’s obvious he can’t score “at will” and is a pretty up and down player
And if he not scoring he pretty much taking up air out there cuz he don’t do nothing else
That defense by Beasley at 2:55 is unacceptable lol. The dude forgot how to play and just froze in place
They need to somehow get Caruso or any good perimeter defender that can somewhat spot up
Hello, can you do a video on lakers so far and their coaching as well? Pros and cons
the problem is there offense improved a bit but there defense became worst by a mile, giannis and lopez need to work harder and will take a toll on them come playoff time, dame is great but if his offense is off he’s useless, jrue’s offense can go off night but his defense ir effort wont , they’re too weak on the perimeter! boston and miami will cause problem for them, even sixers got better!
The loss of jrue ,allen and middletons injurie have affected the perimeter defense too much
Nothing wrong with having bad defense as long as they have better offense than the opponent. They just need to outscore them. Offense can still be a defense.
At this point I think every NBA RUclipsr needs to start labeling themselves what they are. Drama youtubers. You guys are the most overly dramatic people I think I've ever seen. We're not even that far into the season. Holy crap. Take a chill pill.
Hope bucks fans realize this
It’s was all a mirage
The hype
The expectations
Your supposed Greek god was supposed to turn this team into something that is feared when in reality, ain’t nobody losing sleep over this team
And him being in all of these lofty positions that all of y’all put him in is truly showing to be complete and utter nonsense kind of like the all of the other wannabe dynasty teams
There's a reason why Malik Beasley was unplayable when he was with the Lakers.
They fired the coach not knowing they will make the Dame trade. I think if they did Bud would still be there
There's no problem with the Milwaukee Bucks other than transitioning to a new coach. Several new players and injuries. And the fact that it's December, but for some reason, people expect the bucks to be playing in mid-season form. Just like these Packer bashers, jordan loves a bust. Let the season play out
Bucks defense will turn it around, watch. Jae Crowder, who is thier best wing defender has been hit most of the season. Once they get him back, the bucks will not have to rely so much on zone. They will he switchable 1-4 like they were under Bud. That leaves Brook as the lone man who will not switch, they will utilize that drop coverage and force either tough middys or contested layups. Bucks guards right now are just playing lazy, you need to chase your man off the 3pt line and into Giannis or Brook. They are allowing way too many uncontested 3s
Bro, the defense issue is not only Jrue Holiday. PJ Tucker, Grayson Allen and Javon Carter were all defensive minded players. It's not only Jrue Holiday
Wesley Matthews also
Exactly the bucks basically traded away all their perimeter defense 😂
Holiday and Allen were beast on defense and they traded them for two smaller guards Beasley and lillard who are terrible defenders
Buck cooked themselves
A trade for AC would help on perimeter defense but how much would they give up if they do pull that trade off
Lillard #208 on the all-time 3 point percentage - Lillard .372% CJ MCollum .395%
I think the Bucks should have offered Nick Nurse the job on the spot. Giannis and some other players don't seem to like Adrian Griffen all that much.
but Giannis himself literally went out of his way to have the Bucks hire Adrian Griffin lol
Damian Lillard is no Jrue Holiday when comes to defense and Jrue Holiday is no Damian Lillard when comes to offense.
Milwaukee Bucks has to choose which one they want moving forward.
They should have kept holiday and Grayson Allen with dame
Then this team would be lethal
But a backcourt of Malik Beasley and dame is not going to the finals with that terrible defense and inconsistent offense
It’s a reason the Lakers didn’t resign Beasley 🤷🏽♂️
Right now our backcourt needs to watch defensive film! Learn to hold their own on that end and find smarter ways to contribute in defensive actions. It's there for the world to see, this relies too much on its big men (Brook, Giannis, Bobby) for defense
Can’t teach a bad defense how to play defense
Your either a good defender or your not
Defense is a skill that Malik and dame lack
Are you doing a video on the Pascal to Indiana trade ??
Bro said better than holiday in boston 😹 holiday clears
It’s easier to find perimeter defenders than a guy who can single handily carry you on offense for a game or two in any playoff series
I think the bucks can still do it but the defense is gonna have to change drastically / Trade for different personal
That Malik Beasley clip is hilarious 😂
Brook lopez gets destroyed in pick and roll. Start bobby at the 4 and Giannis at the 5
Bobby is a center and always plays center when him and giannis play together and they do that alot.
not brook, but the guards in the pick and roll or two man actions continue to get absolutely cut from the play and let Brook take on two threats
The high scoring is also in part because of the in season tournament where teams are incentivized to run up the score/ keep their starters in the lineup.
stop it bucks regularly give up 120+ IST or no IST bucks defense is shit
This video aged well as head coach was just fired
They need a coach period. No other way to put it
Jrue Holiday biggest L in Bucks special in DEFENSE
the bucks should have traded middleton not jrue holiday
edit: they could have picked up 3&d players like kelly obre & etc in the offseason
at the trade dead line need to pick up gary harris or player like him
Exactly!
So they wouldn't have Dame then...
Lillard looked unhappy. 😭
Grass ain’t always greener on the other side 🤷🏽♂️
@@ceebee312 Lmao Dame was on one of the most mediocre teams for the last decade with no supporting cast whatsoever. Couldnt even make the playoffs these last few seasons. Now hes on the second seed in the East and can legitimately compete for a title. The grass is greener. Whatever his problems are In Milwaukee they pale in comparison to the train wreck that was the Blazers
I think it’s not to late for Dame to learn defense. He can hit long 3 pointers…But when the opponent is in front of him ready to shoot he doesn’t know what to do
So what can we take from this? The bucks are a terrible team yet still have the 3rd best record in the league. Meaning that when middleton comes back and defence gets better and the chemistry gets better, the league is fucked. And giannis is mvp
2:54 TF!! 🤣😂
The loss of Jrue Holiday isnt the reason for this massive decline in defense. it's the loss of Coach Bud, yall dont realize how much of a defensive genius he is. The bucks actually had a better team defensive rating before Jrue, thier guards were Eric Bledsoe, Malcolm Brogdon and George Hill, 2 of those guys are defensive cones. Coach Bud could scheme to hide his worst defensive players and force the offensive players to either Brook or Giannis.
We have some continuity with coaching staff. Oppenheimer, Baker and Dobner were all there with Bud. Seems like some of the good stuff should have stuck around.
@@GabbaGhoul3000 It seems that adrian came in and shook everything up. He didnt even want Brook in drop, it took 10 games and for guys like Giannis begging for Brook to be in drop. At some point I figure Giannis is gonna have to stand up to Adrian and demand thier defensive schemes be just like they were before. Because of Giannis wants it, Adrian will he gone within the hour.
The first clip of Beasley though 😅💀
Beasley is not a starter on a contender. He can only shoot and when his shot isn't falling all he does is cardio.
For sure if Khris Middleton didn’t get hurt in the 2022 playoffs , the Milwaukee bucks would not have an issue right now instead they clown last year because he wants to Miami in the first round
Hope bucks fans realize this
It’s was all a mirage

@@Renegade-kf8fp Man ya'll crazy. Frear the deer. Giannis GOAT
History has shown that defense doesn’t win championships in the NBA. Great offense with average defense wins championships. They just need to be average on D and it’s curtains.
That's just completely wrong lol, teams with the best defenses always win in the ploffs
@@ch.illmatic Jimmy Highroller broke down the data over the decades. Can’t remember which video it was specifically, one of his more recent ones, but it’s absolutely true. He’s one of the best data analysts on here.
2:54 Malik Beasley didn't move his body, but he moved his head and watched Tyrese walk by with 0 resistance.
You don't just go from being a top defensive team to one of the worst just for losing a couple of players albeit one of them being Jrue Holiday. They retained their core guys and their paint defense is as bad as their perimeter defense. Dame, Beasley and Cam are all below average defenders but they've shown decent effort. You can see they all struggle as a whole, just completely confused. All fingers point to the new coach's terrible adjustments
Jrue is doing just fine in Boston lol. They don’t need his offense. It’s just icing on the cake
They should try to get a defensive wing for Middleton he is probably done due to the injuries, probably move on from him before stock drops even more
I think the coach dont know how to use them propertly, there are times where he gets out giannis, dame and middle at the same time, like wtf?!
I cant see this team doing anything in the playoffs honestly has giannis ever had a coach who hasn’t held him back?
Giannis been the problem the entire time
@@Renegade-kf8fp change sport mate. Basketball isnt for you
Newsflash: Giannis picked this coach. He's got no one to blame but himself. This is what happens when an organization lets their star player run the team.
@@kylecraig6789 you just contradicted yourself.
If an organisation lets the players decide, then its the organisation fault, not Giannis.
The goat Jordan cant build a team and it was proven in Washington bobcats and hornets.
Players think they know better all the time, thats why to be great you need a franchise with a great coaching culture. Either a very strong leading coach or a general manager. Aka lakers in the past, heat, Boston etc
Milwaukee doesn't have that and its not Giannis fault. His fault is staying there to make everyone happy
@deminioxst6129 Did they have a choice? No, they did not. They have to do everything in their power to please Giannis. I promise you they also had to run it by Giannis and get his input before they fired Bud. I'm not saying it's right, but he's got the organization handcuffed.
Had to come back and let you know Gianni’s dropped 64
“The best defense is more offense”
did malik just went to hybernating mode for a sec? @2:53
Andy is savage for calling Dame, "small".
He is at least by nba standards
Dame is barely 6’1. lol a fraction taller than me but Small for the nba
It's true though.
They shouldn't fire Mike B.
man i ve watched all bucks games from 2013..you're dead wrong about the perimeter defense..the problem is drop defense..this happens because brook lopez is slow so he can't switch that good on opponent guards..then overhelping comes and that leaves wide open shots..bobby portis is also not very good at paint defense so the problem of the bucks is their bigs...not that they are not good but the system around them is bad...
The bucks will succeed in the regular and lose a few games here and there but in the playoffs the defensive problems might bite them but trading for Dame was great for the offensive side but losing Jrue and firing coach bud has not helped
I totally forgot jrue holiday sign with the bucks
They let Miami loss get into them.
If they let the same line up from last year to this season they still are a favorite to win it.
Jrue holiday coming off the bench could've been great.
Makes no sense. In ideal world you would run Holiday at PG and Lillard at SG like US national team did in Olympics when they were at the same time together but even with that their defence would still be worse because Lillard is straight up a walking cone when it comes to defence. Partially why team USA put Lillard on bench and leave it for KD and Holiday duo to lead the team.
I didn’t like the Damian lillard trade dude plays zero defense
Lets see, new coach, new superstar to integrate with wildly different strengths compared to the guy he replaced, still winning 70 percent of their games with horrible defense and its still early december? #overreaction
The defense is what’s troubling them
The diversity hire coach ain't helping either.
There is a problem with number 15 in Denver, and i think we know what is it
500k yessuh
You make the best videos but bring back old background music
pls feature detroit pistons situation.
Can the bucks tighten up their flaws by post-season? What would that look like?
Nope they cannot
U can’t teach Malik Beasley and dame to play defense
Your either a defender or your not
And they are two terrible defenders on top of the fact that Damien Lillard cannot score at will so his offense is pretty up and down
The buck might not even get out the first or second round
And their offense is not OD like the suns or warriors so they can’t rely mostly on offense
Bucks just played the bulls last night without Zack lavine and dame had 14 and cobe white had 30
COBE white not Steph, not Fox, not Brunson, COBE WHITEEE had 30
Whoever thought pairing a 1st year head coach with this squad needs to be fired
Literally every team has a small problem 😂
I think The Bucks are a bit screwed. I don't see Middleton ever being the same again and I think Dame is just past his prime.
