I hope Dame knows how much we appreciate him. So thankful he’s a Buck.
Rebounding can’t be an issue with this roster dude. Brook and Giannis are two of the best rebounders in the entire NBA. We shot insanely well from 3 and this was a close game because of second chance points (offensive rebounds). WE HAVE TO CLEAN THAT UP. Griffin acknowledged this heading into this game but where is the action from the team to prevent it?
Jalen Brunson was averaging 25 ppg vs us before this game, he dropped 44 on Jrue last season. Guard defence really hasn’t been the biggest concern for us. It’s the misuse of Brook. Speaking of Brook, FINALLY the players said we need to have him in drop and he has his best game yet.
Luckily Jae and MarJon have been really solid for us as POA defenders.
Giannis and Dame, please tell me why these two aren’t leading FGA by a large margin? That needs to change, maybe it’s a matter of chemistry or scheme but hopefully they figure it out. NYK dared us to let Brook beat them and that’s not always gonna work, we can’t fall into other teams traps. We need to stick with our guns in Dame and Giannis.
Giannis turnovers, footwork and finishing really need to get back on track bro. They’ve looked sluggish despite that Hakeem training session but he did have off-season procedure.
Giannis and Lillard chemistry being off is concerning but I’m hoping that it‘ll get better down the stretch. GO BUCKS
We really played hard on defense and I’m encouraged by that at least
Good win. Definitely was great to see Brook back in drop. I know it’s kind of frowned upon to criticize him because he’s the Bucks GOAT, but the main problem with the team gelling right now honestly is Giannis. On offense his basketball IQ has been less than ideal and it seems he’s freezing Dame out at times. On defense he’s ball watching and walking around at times/looking at rebounds (being lazy)….which is what most stars do in the NBA but it’s relatively new for him. It’s hard to pinpoint, but if you’ve been a Bucks fan for a long time you can tell something is a little off with him. Just a super weird 5 games from him.
I love this team
gotta fix the rebounding but the return of block lopez was awesome to see
win’s a win
Whew. It was about to be pretty bleak in here if we blew that lead lol
The reason we got AG is because he would adjust.
Mark that down.
Glad we got the W. Knew there’d be growing pains but based on the eye test this has been as rough of a start to this experiment as possible.
Also, more MJB
ugly win, but if dame can do that all the time… like just close out the game – holy fuck we’re gonna be amazing
Were running Pick & Pops when we should be running pick & rolls.
Griff just has to hold the button down a little longer. Easy fix
Omg this Denver court is hard to look at
Offense is still an absolute shit show. Had to hit 20 threes just to get above 100 before FTs took over.
Giannis is also playing his worst basketball since 2015.
At least the defense was decent though. Guess we should take that as a positive tonight.
They’re gonna figure it out.
The AG hate is unwarranted. He made a lot of adjustments tonight with the schemes and rotation.
DAME TIME BABY
Marjon & Jae are a killer bench duo but I wish Marjon would start.
Griff letting Brook thrive again in the drop is big. Honestly felt like we peaked early in the third and then let the game slip and that lead to us letting the Knicks back in.
That being said, rebounding is a huge problem and it’s less on the coaching and more on the energy that’s being played with. It was the same with the raps game, just standing around and watching the ball roll away sometimes. Either way, coaches made adjustments. Offense looked better in the first half, defense looked better. We’re getting there.
It’s amazing how uninvolved in the offense Dame can be and he still drops 30
Dame has singlehandedly won us 2/3 games lol
Also, if you read the game thread alone you’d think Brook was having the worst game of his career out there lmao
Dame is really clutch and it showed in the end. Also great game for the super sub duo Bossman and Marjon!
dame casual 12-12 from the line
Giannis you can stop trying to be that guy every single possession chill out dude I don’t need to see you travel your way into the lane when dame is wide open down by 2.
Everyone shitting on Brook need to apologize
We may have won that game, but I’m not sure we really deserved it
We’ve built a championship team with our defence and rebounding and tonight showed we still aren’t there
Yes we shot well, but history says we are wildly inconsistent with our shooting splits so we can’t rely on it
We need to find our identity again
Oh, Giannis and Dame need to sort out there chemistry issues, they haven’t gelled yet at all, maybe it’s a coaching thing, maybe it’s timing
Either way we need to be better
I thought Kris had some promising moments that will help giannis and dame when he’s off his minutes restriction
I get the “time to figure it out” take if they were actually trying to run any actual offensive sets.
I’ve said this numerous times in the gaem threads:
– Giannis was cleared to sprint, not play, sprint(!) about a month ago. He had no off season, no real time with any of his teammates, and no time in this scheme.
– He is a very in-game player. People might not remember, but it took him a while to get used to Bud’s system, too. He learns through repetition.
– AG has clearly indicated, and even hinted at, to NOT use the Giannis/Dame PnR because he wants for the rest of the team to gear up.
They will get there, but it will take quite a while. What we need to do is be patient, and see the clear signs of improvement from the team as a whole.
Having said that, it is clear that Giannis is off. He is kinda lost out there, and if you want him to play better, NOT spamming the Giannis/Dame PnR is the way to go for now because it will help him and Dame get used to everything else. They’ll have 60 or so games to spam the PnR to death.
Until then, Marjon = Kawhi 2.0!
8 blocks after shitting ‘em. Classic Brook
Giannis is shooting 40% from 3 on the season.
This is very sustainable and realistic.
