  1. Bucks needed to play with more pace. When they pushed the tempo they were able to score in addition they have to generate more 3s. They should have been more physical on SGA, hebwas too comfortable. The defence on him was not bad but you could see what he was going to do. He always drives bumbs the defender and then takes the mid range.On the initial drive you need to apply more force so he does not create the space.

  2. This is the game we should have ran the big man pick and rolls and let Lopez and Giannis draw fouls. Our coaching isn’t cutting it.

  3. 4:14 more disturbing is that we see it totally works. You don't even have to have super good defenders, because of Dames stature he cannot play through the physicality.

  4. Once again can’t have Lopez playing 30+ minutes and he is the 7th leading scorer he’s getting good cardio in 😂😂😂

  5. Teams know Dame is a liability when he’s pressured.

    Why do you think we struggle with Indiana, they just sweat Dame. The blueprint is getting out around the league.

  6. Doc needs to start subbing Brook out when he’s tired. He’s old and effective but his age shows. He walks up the court on offense.

    The young guys need more minutes.

    DOC WAKE UP!

  8. Bucks couldn’t score because KPJ was on the bench. And he’s the only person that can create his own shot.

  9. Did Brook play? Didn't hear you mention his. We can't be having a starter playing that many minutes being that big of a liability.

    We are cooked as Doc can't get this team to play effective offense especially against the legues more upper echelon teams.

    Only way out of this is to trade Dame {and picks) after this season.That way we can trade for a bonafide SG and C.

  10. Trade deadline went wrong lol. Literally everyone saw this coming. I get people want to be optimistic, but we should really establish a standard. If you thought Kyle Kuzma somehow made his team better, I don’t know how you don’t feel bad right now.

  11. Jeff Teague said it best recently that the Bucks offense has become very predictable. Its all Giannis and Dame with others standing around. And you then hope and pray that someone else steps up..

  12. I watched Oklahoma go to Boston and handle those guys without their second best player. So I didn't come into this game, thinking the bucks were going to win, so I was not surprised, and I expect them to lose in Golden State. Also, this is where the bucks could lose their fourth seed and go all the way down to 6 at this point, I'll just be happy if the buck's make it to the second round and bow out to new york or cleveland

  13. To be real–the coaching isn't hard enough. These dudes just have no boundaries, rules, expectations, accountability etc.
    looks like doc just says "out you go, good luck"
    Idk why dame doesn't pass up the floor. Why does dame wanna dribble all damn day long?
    He said he likes playing off ball but that's nonsense. He can't and won't play off ball. He dribbles nonstop then tries to dish the ball in traffic late in the shot clock. It's so dumb. THROW THE BALL FAR AND LONG DOWN TO COURT DUHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
    Oh well. We are mediocre now. We enjoyed the glory days and now we are settling back into bucks Fandom reality

  14. Ajax should be playing more than four minutes every six games..defense is the problem..play Ajax he deserves more minutes, this guy was great last year playoffs but i guess Doc forgot.

  15. Start KPJ for Prince and Trent for Kuzma. We need to have another f*cking offensive gear to get into if Dame is trapped, if Giannis is walled up! Doc is too hard headed to get that though. Dame and Giannis MUST NOT NEED THE BALL ALL THE TIME TO BE GREAT. Give them competent teammates

  16. I hope dame got himself a stern lecture. He played selfish. Idk how bucks fans are constantly apologizing for his performance and pretending he's incredible
    He's fine offensively, but he's selfish and egotistical on the court. He doesn't wanna play in the corner or move off ball.
    He dribbles WAY TOO MUCH. Dame–pass it bro. You can get the ball back but stop trying to dribble out of all that pressure

  17. I think our best offensive starting 5 should be Dame, Freak, Brook, KPJ and Trent, I think Kuz’s defense is bit overrated and KpJ’s 3s are catching up last couple of games to fit with playing together Giannis. We will make it work

  18. Great analysis and I caught that Dame interview comment too. Dame likes being free and having KPG pass it to him and/or other. That's key for Dame who is no spring chicken and having to run through tight guards etc. Love the show.❤

  19. The 2 biggest differences between this game and the Cup Finals game were that we made our 3s in that game, and we played Ajax in that game. Doc needs to start playing Ajax again, we miss his athleticism, pace, intensity, and defense.

    The game in OKC doesn't count imo, cuz Dame and Giannis didn't play.

  20. Bucks was stinky last night. They cannot get anywhere unless Damian understand why he get paid all this money. Where are his 3s'? Whereas, i heard someone was complaining B Lopez for shooting more three, in response now Brook stopped shooting from 3. YOU BUCKS guys blame yourself for ugly losses

  21. Teams are allowed to be physical against the bucks . Mean while the bucks get the pettiest tic tac calls . Example AJ Greene can’t lay a pinky on guys

  22. Pretty concerned with our lack of paint pressure. We have Giannis, Dame, KPJ, hell even Taurean Prince has been driving the hell out of ball lately. I’m not sure if this is the case but is the whole “side to side” offense something that pulls us away from that? Just don’t see how we’re going to beat teams like Thunder, Celtics, and Cavs if we’re not creating paint pressure.

  23. Anyone else notice how consistently OKC can manufacture an easy shot and the Bucks kind of don't know how to do that? Interesting.

  24. Thanks sis…you kept it 💯 and most of all, my Thunder had 4 players out but we came in w/ a “next man up” mentality. It was definitely a surprise for me…as I was expecting a war.

  25. I enjoyed your content Camille…your a fresh voice for us ladies who are as passionate (if not more) about the NBA. 😂 👍🏽

  26. Bucks terribly coached. Doc needs to be DEMOTED or FIRED.. I'm done with him. This team plays with no effort, energy, IQ or sense of urgency and its sad. Get him outta here. Promote Prunty to finish out the season.

  27. Doc why completely stop playing Ajax AJ Green while a great story needs 12-15 min a game not 25-30 Rollins needs min.Lope lessen his min. LETS GO BUCKS
