Have you ever seen this? A double screen literally at half court. And since he’s Dame freaking Lillard, these 2 guys are all the way out here to not allow a 3 point look.
The paint has never been more empty, and one of the fastest guys in the league has a runway to choose either this or this side.
And once he gets a running start, the backpedaling defender has absolutely no chance of keeping up.
And if you try to stay a bit lower and not get smoked on the drive like Embiid here, now this happens. You give up all this room to a sniper to just fire away and of course this goes down.
This is unstoppable so the Bucks ran it a bunch more.
Right here the Sixers do a better job of staying in front and Embiid bumps Dame but he just goes to a nice spot for him, raises up and knocks it down.
And at the end of the game in the clutch, Giannis doesn’t really connect with Oubre here on the pick, but still, Dame is able to outrun Kelly and finishes with a layup.
And mind you, despite the late game heroics and this insane stepback three, he didn’t even have a crazy shooting night, and actually missed a few easy ones.
Watch how when Giannis takes off, the Sixers scramble to build a wall here with 3 guys in front, leaving Lillard completely open. A bit of a bad pass and this pretty easy shot ends up missing.
Then there were a couple misses where Embiid was in drop, literally hoping that Dame’s defender will be able to fight over the screen. Which didn’t happen and he ended up with some wide open looks but didn’t go in.
My point is, Milwaukee now constantly gets easy and open looks which is scary for the league.
That is, as long as they don’t beat themselves. For example, when you have a cleared out side right here, you shouldn’t be taking this 3 if you’re Giannis.
He settled for jumpers quite a lot in the fourth quarter and almost cost them the game.
Antetokounmpo went 4 of 11 in the final period.
Now I’m not against the Greek freak ever shooting a jump shot but when you see him just dominating inside you kinda think- maybe leave the shooting to Lillard.
I mean look at this. Giannis is triple teamed right here, but there’s absolutely no stopping him with this nasty spin into a dunk.
On the pick and roll with Dame, he just walks his way through the paint and all the way to the rim and Philly couldn’t do anything about it.
This shouldn’t have even been a close game in my opinion, despite the fact that the Sixers fought extremely hard and hit a bunch of shots- I gotta give them credit.
But if you’re Milwaukee, you have all the control, and just run the plays that are unstoppable.
Ok Dame, I get it, you can’t just run the same 1 play over and over, but you can always go to your strengths. For you it’s shooting and for Giannis is dominating inside.
Anyways, do you think that anyone can stop what these 2 are doing? Let me know.

Besides his shooting giannis also really needs to clean up his turnovers, 7 in this game. Last year he was forcing way too much, this year with dame he shouldnt have to
I know we're all rooting for Dame and Bucks this season. He deserves that ring.
That first Bucks vs Celtics match up is going to go crazyyy
dame finally has a player he can rely on fully, giannis has someone who can hit 3s consistently for him, these two will become a force to be reckoned with.
This game is like the Lakers W over Suns. They got the win but with poor performance and strategy
All those so called glitches for 1 pt win!
Next video should be
'BREAKDOWN of Dame's defense that allowed Maxey to go off for 30+'
The bucks winning this game is scary for the rest of the east. They only gonna get better
To win by only 1 though (118 – 117). Not exactly dominant.
As usual… Appreciate your work sir. Keep it up.
Relax they only won by 1 point
i appreciate your work but that miss call on Giannis for that travel that lead to a lillard 3 shifted the game.. if im not mistaken 6ers were leading. bad obvious travel to miss.
Giannis is really bad in 4th quarter and in clutch moments when the game is on the line, meanwhile Dame lives for those moments and loves those final seconds and having the ball when the game is on the line. Those two gamestyles perfectly complement each other
I don't care about the Bucks, I'm just here for the Crybiid downfall
To stop Giannis you need to drop to the paint form a wall. To stop Dame you need to strech the defence all the way to the half court line. This, it is imposible to guard both at once.
They scared me last night lol I put 3k on the bucks and made a good profit. I was terrified when we only won by one point. Rip to everyone who put money on Philly. If yall won pfttt yall could have retired
DAME AND GIANNIS PLAYSTYLE REALLY COMPLIMENTS EACH OTHER
I was super impressed by the team. Giannis I felt was doing more harm than good at times, but he bounced back and helped us win. I think once they find their rhythm on the court it's going to be a serious problem for the league.
giannis played terribly, not setting good screens, not making right reads etc
he'll be better fs
So can Giannis learn to cut off ball? It's a glaring hole in his offensive game. Despite his success, he's surprisingly non-diverse in his skill set in the half court. The opposing team has a parade every time he shoots a three. (I am 100% positive opposing coaches prep their guys not to grin and celebrate when they see him doing it: they want him to keep shooting 3s.)
Dame looks great. And with far less energy expended on offense he might have more for D. This team could win it all of Giannis learns to play off ball.
