@@basketballreachGiannis was the first player to average 30 points, 11 rebounds, 6.4 assists on 61% FG. Also, Damian Lillard has always been a bad shooter. The 46% shooting was actually his first time ever to play that well. In the playoffs he averages 41% FG. People say he has a down year...well, I don't think he has a down yr bc he's never been a good shooter. The Milwaukee Bucks are in some serious trouble. Damian Lillard is a problem but ppl like you just don't want to admit. Dudes shot 41% in his entire playoffs career.
trent to bucks lowkey underrated...he played with dame before and can be a solid 3 and D guy who plays off ball. (huge upgrade from beasly especially defensively)
@@bigbangbasketballit does, Malik wasn’t built for the role he had to play in Milwaukee… Trent is. We saw Malik’s numbers sky rocket in Milwaukee compared to his previous year on the lakers. It’s pretty safe to say the same will happen for Trent.
need is the wrong word! their frontcourt is monstrous! as long as Giannis can rotate to that spot defensively every so often, they don't need it! plus they got multiple big bodies on that roster people sleeping on!
I think if we trade for a center, it’ll have to be at the trade deadline in the middle of the season. Don’t see any center we can realistically get at this point that is better than Brook
You right Injuries are part of the game but don’t sit here and act like injuries don’t have a negative impact on teams, especially if your star player goes down.. That goes for any team.. Jimmy butler was hurt, Giannis Was Hurt , Embiid was playing with one eye and one leg. Knicks were also banged up . Celtics were the only healthy team in the East and it showed. The healthiest team usually wins
The Bucks could easily go the other way too. Dame entering his age 34 season, not many small guards maintain their level of play at this age. Also Khris is 33 and Brook will be turning 37, they need this year to be their year but I don't think they can get past the Celtics with this roster.
Honestly I think running Giannis at the center with BP at the PF in the starting lineup could have some interesting results, but I’m no expert so idk. I’m not sure where Brook would be in this occasion. Maybe coming off the bench tbh.
I love this video and agree with most of what you said! Lets go bucks. I do think the defense percentiles should be taken with a grain of salt. Brook lopez is a problem bc he can only play drop coverage. Hes literally the slowest player in the nba. Hurts the defense badly i watched every game last season
Bro he lost his family. Like if there is any reason for him to not play well it’s the fact that his ex wife and children were still in Portland. He went there by himself, no wife, no kids, no brother. His entire support system was gone.
Only thing holding Milwaukee back is health 💯 . Giannis missing back to back postseasons along with Khris being possibly washed . It ain’t a coincidence why they were not contenders .
There is no way I'm gonna believe once this team finds it's chemistry mix that they are not way better on defense from last season. The same goes for offensive production from the bench.
Yes, the bucks definitely can beat the Celtics. They could have last year if they had been healthy. Even last years version of Lillard was a force to contend with, and Malik was dropping threes like crazy. Giannis going down makes a huge sucking sound on offense. You get him out there, and good things always happen. It was sad not seeing the best version of last years team in the floor when it mattered. These guys stay healthy, and no one will be able to keep up!
They weren't beating the Celtics, they had a really easy path but they were also historically good all year.. The Bucks need to get younger, you cannot rely on Lillard (34), Khris (33) and Lopez (37) to play an 82 game season on high minutes + usage and then go grind out 16 playoff wins. They will need Giannis and Dame to turn into Shaq and Kobe to get past the healthy Celtics or Knicks.
@@christiancrowley3638 I still think the bucks were the team to beat. Health was the only issue. I know Khris and Brook are old, but they still produce and defend. Old, but getting it done. Dame played old last year, but I have a feeling he is going to be out for blood this year. Can’t wait to see it!
@@mkebikers Thats not fair to say at all. The Bucks were the 19th ranked defense last season and were as mediocre as it gets the 2nd half of the season. The Celtics were historically good all year, 3rd best Net Rating ever, tied with the KD/Curry warriors and only behind the MJ Bulls. The Celtics were without a doubt the team to beat all year. I do agree tho, Dame is an entertaining player, I am excited to see what he does this year.
@@christiancrowley3638 I think they weren’t able to find their way in the 2nd half and Giannis, Dame, and Khris didn’t get a lot of time together to make it all work. I love the stats…they don’t lie!!
For me the players play the games the coach just tries to play them into a winning position. In 2021 Milwaukee won with coach Bud who is very similar to Rivers in the sense that the out of timeout plays were bad and in series adjustments weren't good. But at the end of the day Giannis is going to be Giannis 😈
“Milwaukee’s team is built to beat boston” 😭 as boston torches them from the perimeter with their poor outside defense and have the most notable giannis stopper in the league+ KP
Series went 2-2 ..Both bostons wins were by 3 points ..1 was without Giannis.. Boston got blown tf out 135 to 102 . And 104 to 91 . So who got torched? 🤫 Giannis stopper?? Giannis averages 33/ 11 and 5 against Porzingis . That boy cannot stop Giannis to save his life. Drugs are not for everyone my guy. Just stop
@@milwaukeesav6699 Nah the Celtics definitely match up great against the Bucks. The Celtics 2 best scorers are perimeter players, the Bucks will rely on GTJ, Khris, and Delon to guard them. You look inside and Horford and Porzingis will force Lopez to play out on them, which he does not do well. Look at the Celtics backcourt, White and Holiday, they won't make it easy for Dame, who is now 34 years old.
Prince is more of a microwave shooter than a 2 way player. Dude can catch fire and rain in threes, but he's streaky. His defense is suspect at best, but he's definitely a solid 15-20 minutes per game rotation piece
@@basketballreach this is like wolves vs suns...suns have 2 great scorers bettr than edwards, but noone to guards edwards. Wolves have 2 defenders for book n kd. Edwards ends up best offense player in series.
They ain't going anywhere 😂. Giannis and Dame are just going to fake injuries again when they know that playoffs are out of their hands. And then they will blame doc rivers 😂
The doc slander needs to stop 😂 was it his fault Paul George harden Embiid Ben Simmons Westbrook & Kawhi all started playing like trash in the playoffs and didn’t deliver ? Yeah let’s blame doc and not the players . Who are all ringless except for Kawhi who after winning his chips stop caring and sits out games .not 1 player is responsible. Only doc .. cool 😎
@@DSPHistoricalSocietyagain it’s all docs fault and not the players fault .. how did they go up 3-1? Was it because of docs coaching or the players on the court? How did they lose 3 straight? Was it the coaching or players? I’d say both .. do u blame Steve Kerr for blowing a 3-1 lead to the Cavs ? I’m pretty sure u don’t .. Everyone plays a role in team success and failures . Coaches and players are all held accountable as a whole.. not just the coach
They didn’t have any continuity throughout that season as once Doc came in sure the Bucks had a bad record but they began to turn it around near the tail end of the season until the Giannis injury
Giannis was the first player to average 30 points, 11 rebounds, 6.4 assists on 61% FG. Also, Damian Lillard has always been a bad shooter. The 46% shooting was actually his first time ever to play that well. In the playoffs he averages 41% FG. People say he has a down year...well, I don't think he has a down yr bc he's never been a good shooter. Damian Lillard is not washed. That's who Dame has always been. Hold on ! Is Dame a second option? Bc they definitely don't treat him like a second option. How many times have we heard Giannis needs to sacrifice for Dame? How many times have we heard "Dame needs to be the first option"? So many times they said the Bucks must run the offense through Dame. In fact, the Milwaukee Bucks are running the offense through Dame. Apparently they are actually running the Portland offense. Giannis used to handle the ball most of the time but Giannis had to learn to play a different style of basketball bc of Dame. Hold bro. Personal reasons. Do you know how many NBA players are currently going through things? You will be shocked to learn how even other NBA players are suffering. Dame loves to make excuses bro.
I don't think it's right to excuse what he's going through since other players also go through stuff because his problems are different than theirs, they shouldn't be compared. Especially when you don't know exactly what he's going through.
Your only true statement was your first sentence. Dame's last 3 healthy years in Portland. 2019: 46.3% fg 2020: 45.1% fg 2022: 46.3% fg Giannis was 2nd in the league in usage rate last season. Dame was 21st in usage rate and clearly not the 1st option. True shooting % in the playoffs for comparison: Giannis: 57.5% MJ: 56.8% Dame: 56.6% Kobe: 54.1%
First can I get a pin? Huge fan I love your videos keep up the grind bro 😎

Bucks need to run some inverted PNR w/ Giannis as ball handler and Dame as the screener…..similar to the action Steph and Bron ran in the Olympics
