- The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the most confusing teams in the NBA. They are the 2nd seed in the East but have lost a lot of games to bad teams. So what the heck is going on? Is this team actually for real? And if not, why is that?

giannis can't screen and dame can't throw lobs
Dame can’t throw lobs? I thought essentially all nba PGs have this skill ; espically if u got a guy like Giannas
On top of that Dames not that good of a passer in general
I feel like Giannis just screens to get himself going downhill this is the problem. By screening to get Dame open he himself will be more open
It's not because dame can't pass. But, Funnily enough, it's because he can't shoot when giannis is screening for him
@@bns434Honestly its truly baffling that a point guard of his caliber struggles with pick n rolls and lobs... I just DO NOT understand it my man 😭😂
My bad yall for accidentally turning off comments lol
All good, now I can say first
Yo just sent you an email please check it quick
so basically dame shouldve found a way to go to miami
Could be a hot take, I def don't think it is: Bud would've had a very successful season with this roster. Likely 1st seed, if not, a very strong 2.
At best same position, with bud being coach sucks at adjustments, they right move
Definitely not the 1rst seed the celtics are too dominant like they always are but they would he anlot better, but I still wouldn't trust him when the playoffs come around. He was on the chopping block in 2021 people forget about that.
@@LincolnAKAVenoxCeltics are dominant in the regular season. When the playoffs come they always show who they truly are
@@milwaukeesav6699dude tatum has made 4 conference finals and a finals and he's only 25 and they are very likely to make it back there again when have they choked
@@nickhahn2834 They lost the best coach they had .. Then they lost to a old washed warriors team in the finals when Tatum had the most turnovers in playoff history. Then they almost got swept by a play in team n went down 0-3 when Jimmy humbled everyone .. is that not choking or nah?
Why does it feel like I’m watching a laker breakdown, only it’s a bucks breakdown
Lakers played really well against them
So basically. Bucks fired 1 incompetent coach for another. 😂
You forgot about the other incompetent coach, there are three of them
This is a problem that fans generally aren't aware of. Yes your coach might suck, but there might not be any good alternatives for your team to sign.
they need to poach a good assistant coach from another team imo so they dont have to fire another coach and shake up this already unstable situation.
@@incurseiobud at least have them a system that delivered in the regular season for years and at times made some small adjustments in the playoffs…
@@davidfebreeze428 nah I will never forgive bud for insisting to let George hill guard tatum in 2022. He made so terrible mistakes and just had to go.
Only problem that the bucks instead of getting a better replacement, hire a worse coach and than do the same mistake again.
So yeah bud looks good now, in hindsight when you forget a couple things, but this team would not win a chip with him either.
Dame has to come off these screens aggressive as a threat and yanis gotta set screens to get dame open not just to roll.
Yup more aggressive. They’re playing right into the defense
Or maybe just maybe the two players that combine for 50 million could make a shot after a kick out when nobody is on them
dont worry bucks fans thanasty will save the day
blud ur speaking straight fax he will miss wide open dunks and felx o the bench when he does two dribbles and scores and thinks he is giannis
Dame’s previous bigs like Nurk and Aldridge could score going downhill while Giannis HAS to score going downhill.
Nice work, as always!
Literally the only video on TH-cam that has intelligbly explained the Bucks problems to me. I didn't watch the Bucks last year. Thank you for this!
Hopefully they train together and figure this thing out.
There's one easy fix that for some reason the bucks are not using... Who's they're best playmaker? Giannis... Everyone wants to stop giannis... So you put the ball in his hands and invert the pnr. Let Dame set it. Then get Dame coming off screens to get his scoring going
Agreed that dame is not being used correctly. It must be purposeful. Gambling is no small business and its not hard to get some to cheat. The bucks, it would seem, have fallen prey to it. The coach drama us to hide that and gives a face to blame
Giannis is not an accurate passer or ball handler tho
@@Grind2Excellence he's a 7 foot demi god idgaf how accurate he is. Run and dunk or pass the ball
@@Grind2Excellencethen who is? He was the main ball handler and they win a championship. Also, he's been the main ball handler and they have won so many games. lastly, Dame has the ball most of the time and only has 7 assists while Giannis has 6.6 assists.
Imagine you’re a big man getting screened by dame 😂
Love your vids man, elite NBA mind
you got great vids too bro, seen a couple just subbed🔥
I think we can all conclude that the dame for jrue AND grayson allen was not a good trade.
It was because Jrue cannot score and was getting cooked by heat
Jrue was trash he was a offensive liability and held them back, same with Middleton the rest of the team is great but these two shouldn't be gianass big three
Noooooooo. Keep khris the second iso player and brook the guy that can’t be good without drop defense is the problem
We’ve been asking for a ball handler for half a decade and we literally got him to make khris’ job easier and have him only score when he feels like it that’s sad if he’s getting paid 30 mil
another good video. love to see it
very high ceiling and very low floor 😂
Their ceiling is non existent. Any team that just relies on hard shot making isn’t going to be good. Zero cohesion in the lineup and shit defender around giannis will make that happen
@@brettkrenke6068 stop the yapping and do more watching, get back to me after this season lol 🗑
5:09 We have an elite inside scorer in Brook Lopez who instead chooses to camp out and chuck up threes. If Brook used his overall game more we’d be seeing way more of Brook Dame and Giannis 20+ or 30+ games each in the same game
Calling Brook and elite inside scorer is a massive reach
Bruh he has to do that because overrated Giannis can't play outside of 8ft from the basket
@@jdrmanmusiqkingwhy would Giannis have to play outside when he won a chip like that and 2 mvps. Kareem, Shaq and wilt never needed a jumper. So does that mean Shaq is overrated?! Or you’re just biased against Giannis 🤔
@@simba6772 Yes Shaq is very overrated. He had the exact same problem as Giannis dude couldn't win with Penny and got EMBARRASSED BY HAKIM who is the true greatest center of all time
Wilt played nobodies so he doesnt count.
@@simba6772 Kareem played worse nobody's and always had a top 3 player in the league on his squad
Didnt expect you to belt out travis mid video lmfao
shit was loud as hell too😂😂
dame so good on offense he increases the opponent offensive rating too #offenseking 👑👑👑
Bud’s simplistic coaching style might not have been his choice. The bucks main core do not possess high basketball IQ and unfortunately their current head coach doesn’t really bring much to the table in that regard either.
Omg the team with two iso players, barely any perimeter defense and two traditional big man defenders aren’t a good fit together 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱who could’ve guessed that but talent is everything in this league. noooooooooo how could the team that prides themselves on working harder than other teams can’t just out talent other teams😱😱😱😱I can’t believe it
Great vid
The Bucks screwed themselves over with the Dame trade they could have ran it back with the same team and be more productive than this one
Should have ran it back then traded Lopez or Portis at the deadline
7:57 why is Portis hedging so hard on this pick & roll???
He’s done that damn near every game this year
Always leaves dudes wide open for passes or shots and can’t run back because he’s too slow
@@hzq23x that’s crazy. Pat Bev was still on him it was just unnecessary
Petition to hire this man as the new head coach pf the bucks
A really underrated aspect to this is all the minutes with Lopez on the floor. Due to his development, all he does all game is stand at the hash to wait on pick and pops or catch and shoots. This means if an agile big is on Brook, he can shade all the way over to whichever drive is on his side of the court, essentially being able to double on Dame dribble pull-ups and slow Giannis on the roll.
He has to play like that because overrated Giannis cant play outside of 8 ft from the basket
@@jdrmanmusiqking doesn't matter if it's unstoppable. Nobody ever makes these points for Shaq doing the same thing Gianni's does but strictly in the post, or Kareem when all he had was being 7'2 and the skyhook. Giannis is a better free throw and all around shooter than either of them and the best perimeter defender of the 3. But all the sudden because he plays beside guys who flash all their moves before shooting 46% from the field only to average less points, hes not skilled enough. Ridiculous to me, it's called Shot IQ and being un-fucking-stoppable in the painted area
@@bciwanted2 Shaq is a highly overrated player. Just like Giannis. Dude was unplayable in the 4th and had to have the a top 2 guard in the league to win anything
@@jdrmanmusiqking I dont think Jrue has ever been a top 2 guard in the league brother. And you could only argue Kobe that one year and DWade for Shaq, that means 2 rings he did most of the heavy lifting. That's not a small feat. And Khris Middleton was actually the Robin to his Batman for that run, Jrue kept a lid on the top guard enough for the other two to outscore the teams and made the right passes. Giannis literally took over in the 4th quarter and overtime of almost every game on that run except the Hawks series when he was injured and the one or two games Khris closed out in-between. You're throwing overrated around based off one off-season.
@@bciwanted2 1. I was talking about overrated Shaq needed Kobe and Dwade
2. Yes Jrue has been the 2nd/3rd best guard in theleague behind Curry and possibly CP3 for 10 years. That championship year was his last in the top 3
Team got too old and pay good young role players
The bucks are my team. However, i like games where people try their best and are not fixing plays, points, and games. Unfortunately, i think the bucks need to be investigated for throwing games or fixing points. They are either toying with teams and hiding their talent for the playoffs, or they are cheating
What lead to this conclusion
It's the NBA, of course teams loose on purpose, it's a show and if the owners and vegas want a result, the players act it out. Professional sports Is the business of entertainment, business aint always honest
Not just the Bucks, the whole league does it
yeah Bucks not gonna win this year, don't think they're even gonna make it past 2nd round. Talent alone isn't gonna be enough this time.
What's more confusing is why you don't have more views
Doc rivers and the team defense also needs improvement. No where near championship level…the Bucks Office knows it and I predict they hire a defensive minded coach this offseason after a second round playoff exit
It's the plan. Tank to avoid playing the heat or 76ers in the first round.
no it is not, no reason to care about matchup the bucks are confident in all of them
@@Cell9074 not true. The Bucks pulled it off and dropped to the 3rd seed in the last game. And notice the Cavs could have gotten the 2nd seed over the Knicks but they pulled their starters out of the game to intentionally lose and avoid getting the 2nd seed for the same reason.
Lillard never learned how to play with another scorer on his team the Freak has never had to do anything other than a run really really hard and jump really really high so his less than elite basketball IQ is on display
Dame played with CJ McCollum (small explosive scorer) & lamarcus Aldridge (big post scorer)
Top 5 defensive points guards this year +\-
Marcus Smart +3.7
Fred Van fleet +1.5
De Aaron fox + 1.4
Jrue Holliday +1.3
Damian Lillard +0.8
Caps Lock Initiated… HAS ANYONE SEEN KHRIS MIDDLETON ?! 😹
Break down was 😎
Bad vibes, bad juju. It’s not been going well and it’s not going to end well.
so basically the bucks are so good that they cant decide how to kill the defense
Everyone loves to blame Doc but once again, overrated Giannis is the main problem. Just like LeBron, everything is always someone else's fault yet no one ever holds this guy accountable for not developing his game.
As a Pels fan, its the exact same as Zion but Zion learned his lesson due to EVERYONE HOLDING HIM ACCOUNTABLE! Hes finally taking middies, settinf better screens, an playing D which has opened up our entire offense
I think the biggest problem is that this team is too old. I really do believe if Giannis had more athletic players around him the Bucks would be unstoppable.
just like the suns😂
We a playoff team not a regular season team (I hope)
Look, Bucks should've never been in this position. Crushing good teams like Boston, Denver, OKC and playing like Middle Schoolers against lesser comp. Very inconsistent. Giannis & Portis are consistent. It needs to be a constant fire.
Be
to be honest the bucks won't even beat pacers first round and will get swept with no giannis and even with giannis they will still lose celtics all the way this season it is finally time to win a championship LADS GET UP 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
How can I make sure Doc Rivers sees this??
That's what you get for getting washed up bum of a coach. Everyone is just doing whatever it is they are used to, not even one change after 1 year.
Dame is being exposed
Say what you want to say against Coach Bud but he would've done a better job with Dame on the team.
Giannis is overhyped as a "superstar"
A superstar that can't hit free throws. A fundamentally basic feature of the game basketball. All muscles no brain.
Update: Thunder just crushed the bucks.
Dame and Giannis didn't play. They had no consistent offensive presence tonight.
Cowards lost against magics to avoid sixers
Dame is one of the worst defenders in the league. The amount of times he gets confused on coverage, or stopping penetration, or rotation is bonkers.
He’s been a top five point guard this year though in defensive rating plus minus. So this is wrong when he was in Portland yeah but that’s because he was also expected to only score. He’s expected to play more defense in Milwaukee and he has been.
Top 5 defensive points guards this year
Marcus Smart +3.7
Fred Van fleet +1.5
De Aaron fox + 1.4
Jrue Holliday +1.3
Damian Lillard +0.8
@@kenten2063facts dame has played great defense this year
You spelled Trae Young incorrectly lmfao!
I dont see why Boston is such a favorite out the east. If the Bucks can get to the conf finals against the celtics and put pressure on them late I dont see how Boston is that much better if at all in crunch time. Even in the games that boston has won against the bucks they have broken down late and have shown why they are completely unreliable late in the 4th quarter. At the odds of the two team I much prefer the bucks to come out the east.
the problem is exactly what you said. if the bucks want any chance of winning vs Boston they have to get it to a crunch time/grinded out game. the Celtics are very good at avoiding those games seeing as they are 64-18 now. can't lose the game if it isn't a close game
doc rivers for the....?
Thanasis carries imo
giannis can’t screen and play the short role. dame is washed
We ain't doing shit
It all went downhill when the organization fired Budenholzer and bent over for Giannis and traded for Dame, I know Bud sucked at making adjustments but he still established great philosophies on both sides of the ball, and trading for dame. Well you got what you wanted😂 you gain offense and lose ALOT of perimeter defense
Bud made so many bad coaching decisions Vs heat (forgetting time outs, bad atos, and matchup nightmares)
Who in the world let's Giannis block the inbound ball? Let Giannis be near the post to block shots. How hard is that? Jrue was getting cooked. If his Giannis could guard Jimmy Butler, why let him try even though he was injured? As
You are also lying that the organization bent over backward to get Dame. This is a lie.
i dont think giannis will win another ring
the first reason is that his game hasn't evolved since 2021, so the league and defenses basically adapted to his style, especially in playoffs.
the second reason is that the league and the playstyle is evolving so quickly that building a team around a player like Giannis isn't really a thing anymore. surrounding a non shooting player with 3-4 shooters isn't a thing anymore.
the third reason is that the competition is VERY VERY strong and they are so many good teams now, more than in 2021.
the fourth reason is that the Bucks is a bad coached team, in my opinion.
@@yaahman74 He's developed his mid range game and post game after 2021, saying he hasn't evolved isn't accurate.
I think he will in 2025
@@farhan2394-r7whasn’t evolved enough fast enough for a team to be built around him
@@farhan2394-r7w Not true. 50 something percentile in post ups, meaning middle of the league.
Trade Middleton and Connaughton
I felt that it was complete disrespect to Jokic and Murray to label Giannis and Dame as the next Shaq and Kobe after people were losing their minds.
Jokic is way better than shaq. So, you can’t really call Jokic and Murray the next Shaq and Kobe, when they have the potential to be way better than them.
The Greek freak has a lot of similarities to shaq and Dame a lot similarities to Kobe. So, the comparison makes more sense.
@@user-wk9wy5qd4r ok bud gifted mvps and ring at 30 has him over shaq now go figure
@@user-wk9wy5qd4rhow is Murray better than Kobe? 😂 come on bro! I know you’re a Nuggets fan but even Jokic would laugh at that. I’ll give you Jokic’s potential but Murray will not eclipse Kobe that’s just ridiculous and a horrible take. Murray doesn’t even have an MVP. Kobe is the 2nd best SG ever only second to MJ.
3 sead
Dame is slow
